Don't know if they can get the 52.5 and 55 versions but they have red 48 and black 50 in stock.

Definitely a good blade. I've used it when starting with TT again three years ago. It's a quite linear blade so might not be the best match for hard, tacky rubbers and it has a relatively thin and...

Stiga OC is thinner (5.3 - 5.5 mm vs 6 mm), slower, lighter, more flexible, vibrates a lot and is maybe All+/Off- depending on weight. The YEO is usually (never heard of anything below 85g) solid OFF...

I never played with a Rakza X and the Etika 47 is currently only on my list of rubbers to try if I do not continue to use the X5-S on my backhand.

Good to know. The firmer, less elastic topsheet might explain that I have to use more wrist action/acceleration to produce spin with the X5-S than with some other rubbers. With the harder sponge of...

I have tried the X5-S. Very brief description (used on my backhand): Quite direct, medium/low trajectory/throw but not too low so that this causes any problems. Linear, no sudden strong catapult...

If you get the right baby oil than I would say yes. Use very thin layers (put some oil on a kleenex/tissue and than spread it evenly on the sponge), wait until sponge is completely dry, repeat until...

I don't see a problem with your technique (for those interested start the video at e.g. at 2:19 or 4:07)

It could be that the playing conditions (lower temperatures, higher humidity also from...

The DTTB (German table tennis federation) says 15 °C / 59 °F is enough to play... I don't like that either and considering the condition of some of the playing localities, e.g., unheated on weekends,...

I use both longer and shorter strokes on my FH depending on how much time I have and if and how much I want to vary speed and spin. Works very well with the H3 even on slower blades like my Sweden...

This might not be allowed depending on where/which level one plays... At least in Germany...Personally, I couldn't care less if someone is using such heating pads or not....

For Germany I would say everything up to 2. or 3. Bundesliga (national league), Players are paid on that level but not enough to live from that alone. Ruwen Filus said in the video (from 2019) that...
