Hello, I just switched from Tenergy 05 to DHS 3 Neo Provincial orange sponge 39 on forehand with no booster applied by me and my topspin suffers due to this change. Theoretically speaking I know that I am facing the problem of playing with a harder rubber which requires more power from me but I...

This is the moment when a chopper says to herself: "My coach put my career on a wrong track and now I am paying the price for that". Even if you took the long pips benefits (heavy backspin, dead balls, wobble effect, etc) while you were competing against amateurs/beginners/intermediate/advanced...

Hello, Something is happening in the table tennis world regarding the backhand topspin. If you watch the video below for example, they are not performing even a single backhand topspin during the entire game. We can see all other strokes but it seems that the backhand topspin is missing from...

I have played with T05FX on Timo Boll Spirit and Timo Boll ZLF blades. On the forehand side I would say that T05 normal is better because it is harder and it will help you on short game/serve returns because it will be less springy than T05FX (of course, both T05 and T05FX are springy). I have...

For starters, the short answer is: whatever your opponent is doing just mirror him so in your case you will have to hold your racket at about 45 degree angle or even more opened (30 or even 15).Later, after you gain some experience you are going to attack those balls with a flip (check out the...

Good point there. Somehow related to your note, here are some of my concerns. When you start playing table tennis with whatever setup which costs a few dollars, after a while someone will tell you that you need to buy something better and since you do not have knowledge of equipment / a person...

Hello, I am wondering what is all about with this new trend generated by almost all tennis table equipment vendors to bring hard rubbers to the market. Examples: MX-P 50, Tenergy 05 Hard, Dignics 09c, Rasanter R53, etc. Is this a reaction to the new plastic ball? What are the benefits...

Hello, I just saw the video below and I am a little bit confused. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF1wc8rG0R4 Are these guys using booster or not? If they do not use the booster, what kind of treatment has been applied to their rubbers? If they are using booster, how they are using...

Well, you know how they say that the real one is available just for the Chinese national players.I did not check the serial code but even if I got a fake one, I am interested to find out if there is a big difference between the normal version and the NEO version of this rubber.

Hello, I have just tested DHS Hurricane 3 National (Blue Sponge) 39 degrees unboosted and I did not boost it. I would like to know how different (is NEO version faster/generates more spin?) will be the NEO version of this rubber and maybe even the NEO Orange version of it. (my understanding so...

Yes, that was my primary blade and I have played with it for about one year, 3 or 4 times per week, 2 hours per session, with people and tennis table robot.Recently, I have switched to another blade and this is why I am looking to clean that dust because I am going to keep it in the case from...

Well, I am cleaning the rubbers after each game and I am washing the sponge used to clean them once a month but somehow the dust still subsided (if it is dust). Also, I am using protective films for the rubbers and I keep the racket in a case. ->

Hello, I have attached some pictures with the rubbers. I have played with them for about one year. BR.

Hello, I am looking for some options to clean the bottom side of the inverted rubber, the part right next to the handle where the details of the rubber are marked (e.g Butterfly Tenergy 05, the Butterfly logo, ITTF, serial number). The dust will sit between the letters and it will harden there...

Hello, I am interested in finding out what someone has to take into account when he wants to make a new palette and how those aspects are matched with a specific equipment. Since there are a lot of rubbers and blades available on the market, we will not talk about a specific brand; instead we...

I am not talking about a specific vendor/rubber/blade in particular. I was referring to the new equipment released after the plastic ball era; some of them are advertised that they include new technologies. Examples: Stiga Mantra series for example are based on the "Oxygen Capsule System"...

Hello to everybody, I would like to know your opinions about how the blades before the plastic ball era are still a valid option today when we have the plastic balls and new rubbers adapted to this plastic ball. I am interested in all wood blades, ALL and ALL+ blades (examples: Nittaku Violin...

Excellent video. The balls are returned by me with even a higher arc since I am overwriting the backspin; yours do not have backspin but it is a perfect example of how high the ball is returned to my opponent in terms of height.

Hello to everybody, When you start playing tennis table, everybody will tell you that whatever you do you need to keep the ball low. Since any ball exchange starts with a serve, it makes sense to serve short because in this way you can protect yourself from being attacked by your opponent from...

I appreciate the advice received from all of you. I will try to adjust the angle by closing the racket, probably around 60 degrees.Also, I will try to vary the spin, to serve with less backspin and add no-spin to serves.
