  2. For those who think pips have a ceiling

    Maybe your right? As surely they would of been used by now ?? Everyone I play against says they are so different to short or long Pimples!!! As you don't know what spin you are putting on the ball but it's even harder for the opponents as they don't know either!!!
  3. For those who think pips have a ceiling

    I believe that Medium pimples can be a real weapon if used properly as attacking shot are so hard to play against as you actually never really know what spin or how much you are getting!!! I can chop and still even loop with them against backspin!!! I would love to see a really good player use...
  4. For those who think pips have a ceiling

    I believe it's important that all styles of playing this amazing sport are encouraged, it's a shame that most if not all youngsters are only trained with double inverted. I'm worried that pimples will be a thing of the past if we are not careful!!! All styles of table tennis are special,as is...
  5. For those who think pips have a ceiling

    I've been playing for over 20 years and my B.H was always my weakness!! I changed to short pimples and soon changed back to inverted,then just by chance I tried Medium pimples and have never looked back !!! I can do everything with them plus when you block with them you give a really awkward...
  6. For those who think pips have a ceiling

    Ni Xia Lian is incredible!!!! To still be that competitive at 60 is unbelievable!!!! That's why I love this sport so much !!! You can be competitive at almost any age !!!! Not bothered who was in the tournament!!! She won it at 60 !!! Amazing!!! A legend!!!!
  7. hybrid rubbers for backhand

    I'm using Rakza Z on my F H and am really impressed with the Spin level !!! Seems to be durable, very controllable, a lot more Spin than Butterfly Glayzer for me very impressed with Rakza Z never tried it on my B.H as I use Medium pimples!!!! Hope this helps.
  8. 2024 SURVEY: What rubbers do you currently play with?

    I've just sent my rubbers in I'll be amazed if anyone else plays with my B H rubber lol 😂😭😭
  9. Opinions on this setup?

    I believe that the Fastarc G1 is one of the most all-round rubbers around,it's not to fast but has the ability to keep on giving even when your game keeps on improving.plus it must be one of the most durable rubbers out there,never tried Razka 7 but I'm using Razka Z at the moment and am really...
  10. Need Recommendation and suggestion for someone new to sport!

    I would like to recommend the Butterfly Peter Korbel Blade with Fastarc G1 on both sides my girlfriend was a total beginner over 2 years ago and now has improved so much !!! This set up is still going strong with 10 hours a week play !!! Her game has improved so much and the set up has helped...
  11. Best blade for Nittaku Fastarc G-1

    My Girlfriend uses Fastarc G1 with Butterfly Korbel she has improved at an amazing pace !!! £125 total really impressive combination !!! She has had the G1 on for 2 years in December and the G1 is still got plenty of life in it !!!
  12. Nittaku Fastarc G1 vs Butterfly Glayzer

    I've used both rubbers and believe G1 is slightly quicker , Glazer is really underrated,but my girlfriend uses G1 and her rubbers are nearly 2 years old and still going strong !!! G1 is brilliant all-rounder !!!
  13. A pathetic situation?

    I believe most club players want to make the most out of there limited practice time so they feel they don't want to waste it with new players or beginner's!!! They want to play stronger players so they can improve, but if everyone ignores new players how are they going to improve or even still...
  14. A pathetic situation?

    Really interesting post !!! I've been a member of my club for years and I have no problem asking for a practice with any other member at my club,the problem is the better players stick together and don't want play you and leave you sitting there.I will play with any new members whatever there...
  15. Returning to table tennis, lots of change! Did I buy the wrong blade and rubbers?

    I agree that C1 is actually a better choice to start with, but luckily for me Dawn's set up suited her from the start as I believe G1 isn't the fastest rubber but it has enough speed and spin for most players!!!
