Well I tried the Dawei rubbers... they are heavy:) They played well for the time I have been acclimated to the characteristics of inverted rubber. The spin opens up so many possibilities especially for winning points outright on service. I was wondering about the complete opposite material -...

Thanks Barbara. I'll give the Dawei rubbers a try.

Hi Barbara, welcome to the forum and more importantly, can I buy you a drink:) I am thinking about upgrading my equipment as well. My Palio Chopper 1 has a very small handle for my big hands. I have tried a few BTF racquets and I find that they have much larger and comfortable flared handles...

Can I buy you a drink kjellwinblad?! Welcome to the forum. I have taken a strong liking to this sport as well, especially in the last few years. Great way to get aquainted with my colleagues who otherwise would be like ships that sail by me in the course of a work day.

My Podcast will definitely involve an AI arms race!

Thank you all for your insightful and quick responses. To answer the question, where did I get my facts from... obviously not this highly educated and well informed forum. I pulled a rather unacademic maneuver and used a kids resource wink wink 😉 .

Rafa nadal has been reported to have achieved 3200 rpm in his shot making. It's also been reported that a table tennis ball can make up to 200 rpm. A world of difference in orders of magnitude I must say. My question to the forum is why does it seem that spin plays a more influential role in...

Happy boxing day Robin. Thank you for your advice. I have been practicing my serve to that part of the table after watching several youtubes. Even though I am using Uranus I find that for my level of rec play is very adequate to the extent that it annoys the returner all who are older adults...

Merry Christmas blahness! Your advice is greatly appreciated. And also very true indeed as I quickly discovered playing intermediate opponents. I have observed that they will adjust their return position to be diagonally opposite. Therefore allowing easier reach to do the aforementioned shots...

Hi Everyone. My question pertains to serve placement. A lot of folks here talk about spin and different kinds of service techniques. In my limited opinion, I find that what wins me a lot of points is serving just behind the net of my right handed opponents bh side from my bh corner. I am a...

Thank you deeruchow for your reply. The best player at work uses a donic defplay and grass. His forehand rubber is palio.

Hi Everyone. I haven't posted in a while. Hope you guys are doing fine. The fellas here have recommended equipment for me and good solid advice. Last time I posted (forgot where in this huge site) they recommended a Donic balsa blade with smooth rubbers. I did follow up on that at my workplace...

Interesting discussion. I'm new to the sport and I'm currently using short pimples 2.2 mm on my forehand and long pimples no sponge on my backhand although I often swap sides and confuse both the opponents and myself. My casual observations are as follows. Sp rubbers are more versatile in that...

Thank you kindly JJ Ng and mightymouse. Great name MM. I'm old enough to remember that cartoon:) Your suggestions have been noted, as well as all the other tips that I picked up from this wonderful site. JJ Ng, I can't help but notice your Canadian. Are you watching the Stanly Cup Playoffs...

Thank you guys for your prompt responses. TTT, Gozo, and turbozed. I will ask the guys at work as well.
