I bought Mantra Pro M because it was on sale and seemed like it would suit my playing style. However, after reading this thread, I'm starting to think I may be out of my depth. I'm still fairly new to the sport and currently use Xiom Vega Europe on my backhand. My main concern is that I might...

Hello, As the title suggests, I have a question about when to move away from the table. As a beginner, I rarely step back more than an arm's length from the table. When my opponents repeatedly attack from their forehand to my forehand side, I often feel more successful by staying close to the...

Have you noticed any drop in performance from an opened container compared to an unopened one? I bought the larger bottle (100 ml), but I only change rubbers about every four months, so I’m wondering if it would be better to buy the smaller bottle (60 ml) instead.

I was curious about boosting, so I bought Haifu National Yellow. The first time I tried it, I applied two medium layers to a LAC, and it became too fast and bouncy for my skill level (which is low), so be careful with it. It’s potent stuff.

Kudos to you for stepping down in speed. Many low-intermediate players I know keep switching to faster and faster equipment and end up getting stuck in their development. Often, the motivation for using faster gear is to win that one out of ten points when they’re forced away from the table. But...

I used the super fx soft, because I am n00b 😀 I will update current equipment because I switched. super fx soft was really good and cheap, was a bit slow

Is there any test you can do to verify that the condition of the rubber is ok? That is surprising to me. I have not played with that rubber, but I tested the rubbers of a few players in my club and softer rubbers like dna hybrid and manta sound fails the test after being played for less than 1...

He has been playing with it for 3+ months and I think he would be considered a beginner. Middle aged man, played for a few years with little formal training, kind of a office champion.

A friend of mine switched from Fastarc G-1 2.0 to MX-P 1.75. He also changed his blade from a stiff all-round 5-ply to an offensive carbon blade. I noticed that his loops became faster but had less spin. Is the decrease in spin primarily due to the change in rubber or a consequence of the blade...

What do you guys think about the technique where you pull the ball across the rubber and if you notice any difference in friction you change the rubber?

My sons(played<1 year) have similar issues, they play completely differently when we practice compared to when they play other kids. Guessing it it is because I block or top spin the ball while the other kids hits balls flat and play with shitty no spin rackets. Also, when they play with me...
