  1. What hybrid are you using nowadays?

    Hammond Z2 not a Hybrid. It's USP is that it's not ESN either but made in Japan so, not a Hybrid, but still something different
  2. How many layers of glue do you use?

    I use DHS 15 with 2 layers on the rubber and one on the blade. I've used one layer on the rubber before (as I was also low on glue) and it stuck just fine. Only issue was peeling glue from the rubber was a pain in the ass because it was so thin it was difficult to remove it. The thicker 2...
  3. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    The tendency to play worse against junk players can be an inescapable nightmare. It's quite common to experience this but it's also a great learning curve. Play as many players like that as you can and, if you approach them with a match and tactical mindset, you'll learn to search out...
  4. Your set-up when you were a 1300 level player?

    Yasaka Silverline all wood, Rakza X and Rakza Z.
  5. ITTF Men's and Women's World Cup Macao 2025, 4/14-20

    You have become pathetic Tony. Tony's table tennis is looking like a joke run by a petty like boy at this stage. None of this argument seeking looks good for you and you just cannot see it. This is my last msg to you, thank god for the ignore function in here!
  6. Which blade should i get?

    Coming from a premad the Clipper will be a fine choice. You said poor backhand, FH opening meh so that puts you still in beginner category, Clipper is perfect for you. On the Donic blades, a friend bought a Donic Original Senso V2 ( came down from FZD ALC and Dignics), paired it with a couple of...

    Waste your time then, all the same to me but has this really been fruitful since you followed it up? I think in your race to be the most prolific poster in here you have really diluted the quality of your posts, why not aim for quality over quantity Tony. Surely that's a mantra straight from...
  8. ITTF Men's and Women's World Cup Macao 2025, 4/14-20

    The only person spinning is you Tony because rhetorical questions require no answers, as you well know. Of all the brilliance on display last week and all the things written about Hugos victory you have nothing better to do with your time than to continue picking on this where you had to...
  9. best rubber for bh flip/flick?

    There isn't one best, if there was then every pro would be using the same rubber. There's only what people prefer and can handle and there's no point buying a rubber you can flick like monster with if you can't play short or controlled game with it or if it doesn't give enough to your loops or...
  10. Any European rubbers that can replace Hurricane?

    Japanese company but many of their rubbers are made by ESN in Germany ...
  11. The Surest Way to Get Rid of Illegal Serve Complaints

    We used to marker the ball in school so it looked like the 2nd ball in your picture there with two black quadrants and it was very easy to see the spin then. Not sure if it would be visible on TV but it was certainly visible to us as playes. It would probably be visible in slower of up close...
  12. Dignics 09c longevity

    I have a sheet that's 3 mths old now and no deterioration whatsoever. If it lost something after the first 2 wks then I didn't notice as I was still getting used to it then. At 8-10 hrs a week you do play twice as much as me though so maybe what you notice at 2 mths I'll notice at 4, and your...
  13. Dignics 09c longevity

    I reckon that was an April 1 post and someone having a bit of fun 😉 The C stands for 'Compatible Friction'. I had to visit the Butterfly site to get their explanation of it but they say that it signifies that the rubber's top sheet is designed to balance high friction with high tension, allowing...

    Tony You posted about the CNT misery in a flood of Wow Hugo posts. And I said why not 'just' be happy for Hugo. Maybe English isn't your first language (I don't know) and maybe you don't understand what the word just would mean in there but your English has seemed pretty spot on to me so far so...

    Tick tock, tick tock eh... At this point I assume you're writing this to just get your post count up, what is it, 4 days later?? If I'd wanted to be drawn into your opinions on the state of team China I'd have responded by now. But for the record, read my post again, I didn't say you weren't...
  16. Rubbers for children at school

    Have you glued to those blades before? Or are they premades? The last time I tried to take a rubber off of a premade racket, after 20 minutes of scraping and sanding I just gave up. It was as if the sponge was the glue! Other than that I would try Ali Express for something like this...

  18. HELP!! BLADE CHOICES

    I don't see a direct question in your post so I'm not exactly sure what you want but if you're swimming around in EJ pool then you need to pick a reasonable blade (all wood, ALC, whatever) and reasonable rubbers and stick with them! If you're looking for a blade to magically improve your game...
  19. Is Nittaku Acoustic 5 Ply Allwood still worth it this 2025?

    At 2600+ in upper German leagues, do you have some names? I watch the Bundesliga and 2nd lge a bit but never know what they're using. Great competition tho the 2nd lge, more relatable than watching the top pros playing.
