  1. CORKSCREW --the best rewarding type of spin.

    Mozart of table tennis has such serves since a long time. Check out when he meets Dan from tabletennisdaily and instruct in how to do this type of serve. Whatever they are called they were effective! As for dimensions there are actually two horizontal axes. We play table tennis in 3D and not...
  2. Large Hands And Flared Handles

    Hello I have large hands - flared are to short for me an d works mostly for inclined fh. For me some movements become restricted. There are different straight and anatomic grips that not all fit or are adequate for large hands. Of course your playing style might be affected by the handle and one...
  3. Need advice for a allround+ blade with a big handle

    The Donic Waldner Offensive in Anatomic has a large handle - I have broad hands and it fits me very well - better than other large handle blades I have tried. It has a really deep hold and very good control. It is slower than 7-ply hard but faster than Yasaka all-round and Waldner allround...
  4. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    I have not used Rowena so someone else here who knows?
  5. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    Here come some thoughts from a person back to TT after many years. Not an expert opinion. I have tested both Mantra Pro H and DNA Hybrid H. The DNA hybrid H is faster just as stated on STIGAs webpage however the Mantra Pro H is also a fast rubber - quite faster than Rakza 7 and closer to DNA...
  6. Question for Tom "The Frog" about Stiga rubbers.

    Tom Hello - loved your YouTube of the Hybrid. Was there any difference in the short play between the Platinum and Hybrid? Spinsensitivity? What Platinum did you test?
  7. Stiga DNA Platinum Rubbers

    How easy difficult are the M and S in the short play? If anyone knows are they similar to the Mantra Pro H or M in level of control? Otherwise any comparison to Rakza 7 or Rakza 7 soft?
  8. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    Remember there are three different hardnesses. Mantra Pro H is faster than Rakza 7. The Pro H has better control. I have no experience of M or XH. Mantra Pro H at least as spinny as R7 or Rakza 7 soft. Durability I have no clue have not used the rubber long enough. All I can say it is really fun...
  9. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    I have used the Mantra Pro H for a couple of sessions now and it is really good. Great control on a Waldner Offensive JO Shape. Weight - only indirect but is about 15 g heavier than same racket with Yasaka 7 soft for the pair so around 50ish grams. I'd liked it a little bit lighter weight...
  10. How to measure blade frequency?

    You will also have the sound from the ball not to forget. There will probably be different frequencies coming from the longitudinal as well as the latitude of the racket. Further it is also the question how fast the vibrations are being damped also what amounts of overtones are being produced...
  11. Since when did Kallberg change his name to Shallberry?

  14. Since when did Kallberg change his name to Shallberry?

    The meaning is quite different: Källberg means spring from the mountain Kallberg is cold hill or cold mountain :)
  15. Since when did Kallberg change his name to Shallberry?

    ALLRIGHT - This is funny. What complicates to begin with this is not English - true our ancestors provided a decent amount of input to the British Iles say about a millennia ago. Antons Surname begin with a so called shea (ea pronounced like in head - smile) -sound of which we do have at least...
  16. Stiga Arctic Wood Review

    Certainly not white ash. Does not exist in northern Scandinavia if that is the place where the wood was sourced. It is either birch or northern grown spruce. The only other woods that are easily accessible are pine, there are some others but they are not usually cut. Generally these woods are...
  17. This why I don't complain illegal serves

    Agree - when enforcement comes in other sports be it football VAR (far fewer dives - why should a game be decided by pure cheating?) illegal tackles to the head (ice hockey - remove the faulting player for a number of matches ergo problem becomes way smaller). Enforcement is not perfect but...
  18. Large Hands And Flared Handles

    I have large hands and for me the FL handle gets the racket way too locked in the hand. For straight I prefer a bit thicker, I use a Yasaka Falck W7 a bit thicker and longer, but also like the so called anatomic of Donic which also fits my hands, Persson Powerplay and also Waldner Offensive...
