  1. Upgrading from 7 ply to carbon. Feedback please

    Update no.2 I got rid of the xiom omega 8 China (too soft and dead feeling / super indirect, compared to an actual China rubber). Swapped to helix platinum xh on my forehand and bought a new sheet of dna platinum xh with the thick 2.3mm sponge for my backhand. I played some local league matches...
  2. Stiga Helix Platinum ( Any review )

    I’ve just switched to helix platinum xh from dna platinum xh for backhand and I was very disappointed at first. It was so bad I gave up and swapped sides which is when I tried the helix for forehand, and it suddenly made a lot more sense. It has more spin, less linearity, and slightly thicker...
  3. Upgrading from 7 ply to carbon. Feedback please

    Ok so my update For feeling, the inspira ccf compared to the clipper wood just feels rubbish. It has a hollow indirectness. Super annoyed to be honest… I did change rubbers though so technically it could be the rubbers are also much worse. On my clipper I had Donic Acuda blue p1 turbo on...
  4. Upgrading from 7 ply to carbon. Feedback please

  5. Butterfly lezoline levalis

    The levalis are my first table tennis shoe but I can compare the fit to the li ning battle dragon (ma long shoe) and the toe box on the levalis is much roomier in a very good way. I have a medium width foot. The ma long shoe is more traditional old school pointy toe box but very comfortable…...
  6. Butterfly vs Mizuno shoes

    I don’t believe it is that simple. I got a lot of bruised heels, bad knees and plantar fasciitis from multiple sports and the best shoes in the end are always the ones that are most low to the ground, supportive and stable rather than cushioned. There are some instances when cushioning is good...
  7. Decathlon Pongori Compact Indoor Table Tennis Table TTT 930 ITTF - 25mm

    I just tried it in decathlon at Canada Water where they have a table tennis club that is open non stop. I have to say it’s a great table. The surface is a little on the smooth side so it plays a bit quicker than the powder coated butterfly competition tables I’m used to but it could be the...
  8. Transition from DHS to ESN rubber (xiom omega 8 hybrid or vega tour?!)

    Hi all! Apologies, this is a very convoluted question and my first post… My question is, does the xiom omega 8 hybrid play as well as the xiom vega tour for direct hitting?! I have my eye on xiom omega 8 hybrid because I’m looking for a low throwing rubber that plays really well close to the...

    Do you still hold that opinion now that you have used them for longer?
