  1. Review: Sanwei Target National - Player Edition (Gordanga)

    Weighed it now - 55g uncut. 41g cut.

  2. Review: Sanwei Target National - Player Edition (Gordanga)

    Good reminder! I just need to get the weighing scale and do a bit of math. Uncut weight is 55g

  3. Review: Sanwei Target National - Player Edition (Gordanga)

    😆 I definitely struggled with the super low throw angle of the Target National. This one was fast and safer to use

  5. Sanwei Review: Sanwei Black Pink Table Tennis Shirt 2025 - a shirt even the non-musically inclined can enjoy...

    Sanwei invited me to review their new range of table tennis shirts. To me, the designs on each of the styles were bold, striking and creative without being TOO loud. The sharp geometric patterns and colour schemes were all very appealing to me even if I can't quite carry off all the styles well...

  7. Best rubber under $5?

    I used the Blue on a beginner build and that was fine though I didn't use it personally. The ones I do more of are the training rubber version, which come in a 2-pack already. They have very low bounciness and are only semi-tacky, so work great for beginners and also hardy enough for office...

  8. Best rubber under $5?

    The Kokutaku 868 is lightly tacky and is easy to maintain. I would steer towards that and the Sanwei T88 Ultra Spin as being to easiest ones to maintain in this category and would definitely fit the fun pick up and play in lunch break for club players. I would steer away from any heavily tacky...

  9. Review: Sanwei FireFlash Table Tennis Shoes

    I love how your response really rounded off this review very well. I had a fantastic fit around my feet so it felt like a perfectly snug pair of trainers/sneakers - and I fully appreciate your comprehensive viewpoint based on a different fit due to the shape of your feet. I'm effectively a size...

  10. Review: Sanwei FireFlash Table Tennis Shoes

    Yeah! It also actually says SpeedArt on the upper as well

  11. Review: Sanwei FireFlash Table Tennis Shoes

    The moment I saw these shoes advertised by Sanwei I was hooked by the lace-free system. After regularly getting annoyed by shoelaces coming undone and then needing to double knot them, there was a certain level of appeal in not needing to fuss with laces anymore. I also really liked the design...

  12. Find a club near Stratford and compete in league.

    We're not a club (yet!) but come play with the rest of our outdoor table tennis community based at Westfield Stratford City, the WSC Table Tennis Community. There's one outdoor table where players of all skill levels play from British league to beginners

  13. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    That's weird. The STN and the H3Neo are definitely not similar rubbers. About the only similarity they share is their tackiness. The STN is faster and with a really low throw. The STN is also mad durable. Still spinny even when the topsheet looks like a car ran over it. I mainly stopped using...

  14. What are your top annoyances about assembling your own table tennis bats?

    Very relatable annoyances! For #2, I've found that using my pinkie fingers to help align gives me more consistency. Also, having a light pointing at the handle really helps when aligning the rubber to it (because shadows play havoc on depth perception) For #3, multi-purpose oil works great for...

  15. What are your top annoyances about assembling your own table tennis bats?

    Woah - that's a lot! I've done 5 at once and that was quite an adventure already. I'd probably need to use a couple of fresh sponges for the glue too if I did more setups. I've found that a small desk fan helps speed up the glue drying process more evenly than the hairdryer does - mostly because...

  16. What are your top annoyances about assembling your own table tennis bats?

    This instructional I did could help you -

  17. What are your top annoyances about assembling your own table tennis bats?

    I definitely faced that issue when I first started assembling table tennis bats. I feel your pain

  18. What are your top annoyances about assembling your own table tennis bats?

    I wanna see if it's worth investing time etc into solving the key annoyances. I know many of these already and wanted to validate my assumptions 😁

  19. What are your top annoyances about assembling your own table tennis bats?

    For number two, get a precision tweezer - does wonders for removing tiny bits without spoiling the glue job

  20. What are your top annoyances about assembling your own table tennis bats?

    I use two things, a light source pointing at the handle (so your eyes don't get tricked by shadows) and I use my pinky fingers to align the rubber to the handle. I start by lightly pressing the edge of the rubber to the edge of the handle then once I'm sure I start pressing down the rubber...
