Sorry to get serious for a second..... (boo). But please do DM me directly if you are interested in coming (no commitments at this stage as we obviously don't have the dates etc sorted). It's just so I can keep a track, without taking a random comment as intention to come :) Current List...

"I have such an advantage on every service.... I don't know which one to do" 😂 That is brutal! 😂 Has anyone checked on @Dan since then...... (I feel the inside out forehand made up for everything!)

We'll have an entire hour to see just how many people can teach you a forehand topspin ;) Would be great to see you!

Hey TTD - Just keeping this thread in people's minds. I'll be working with @backspacer to see what options we have for a German meet up next year. Likely August, but both date, time and location are still TBC. If you'd be interested, please DM me and I can add you to the list. The total...

Apologies, I don’t know your level so I’m not sure of the context here. I’ve been quite open about my level, and it’s there for all to see (the good thing with the UK is that the local league results are recorded very well!) I would comment that YES, a lot will be marketing hype and conscious...

Missed this, apologies. I think you can create a ton of spin with Zyre03. Just as much as D05 and D09c. It is, without question, a very spinny rubber. But, and this is the key thing for “real world” play…. I think the extra speed/appearance of less dwell time would contribute towards the...

I think lower level players generally have less ability to be able to interpret just what they are getting out of the equipment and evaluate it. Likewise, unlikely to be playing consistently good quality shot to be able to compare. Yes, 99.9 might be an exaggeration, and a more accurate...

I can’t believe I’m going to disagree with our lord and saviour…. Butterfly….. but…. IF (and that’s a big IF), Butterfly did indeed test this in scientific like conditions and proved it was their spinniest rubber, it would have been done so in such a way that is incredibly unrealistic for 99.9%...

I close my eyes and hope for the best! Let's not derail the thread too much..... But it's very hard to gauge table tennis technique from words - It would be great if you could do a video demonstrating how you personally do it (there's a "video safe" thread if you didn't want others to comment...

Just to add some context to all of this Z03 discussion….. Because I really do believe that “ability” is massively overlooked when discussing equipment. For clarity, me (far side, large human), is playing with an inner carbon ALC blade and D09c on both sides. Near side has a ZJSALC (yes...

OK, take this with all of the pinches of salt in the world…. I tried Z03 tonight on a Jike Super ZLC blade. The Z03 was boosted….. although I don’t know how/what etc. Initial impressions - Extremely underwhelming with this set up. It’s just too fast to get any real spin - The ball comes...

I have a few mins before I get to play with it, so thought I’d reply to this…. I think your comment is unfair In this instance. There are certainly “reviews” that are sales pitches, but this review had direct comparisons to D05 and D09C (in terms of commenting on how it’s different). To me...

I’ll be having a knock with it tonight. Although…. It’ll be on a Jike SLZC blade…. So I’m expecting it to be fast!

Amazing - Great review as always. I could listen to Dima talk TT all day long.....

I think for all Dignics rubbers in general. Yeah, 05 is speedy, but the lack of spin reception vs Tenergy still makes it easier for beginners I think (not that a beginner should be anywhere near it). Tenergy was just brutally unforgiving - So bouncy, soft and received spin like the Tasmanian...

Don't confuse price with ability. I personally think Tenergy is a much more difficult rubber to use for most people (compared with Dignics). It's typically much more reactive to incoming spin, very bouncy and makes short touches and "feel" much harder. Dignics might be more expensive, and you...

I love your optimism! Good luck with the sale :)

I'm sorry to say, but the majority of this thread (with a couple of exceptions) is a great example of why not to take random advice from the internet (and often, why giving uninformed advice is worse than giving no advice) If anyone is describing themselves as a beginner/intermediate, I think...

Shall we charter a plane from the UK?!

TTD Family..... Your once in a lifetime opportunity has arisen! After the WILDLY successful tour of @latej 's homeland a few weeks ago, we are looking to go even BIGGER for 2026. @backspacer posted this thread a while ago -...
