I like Tom Lodziak's and Pingskills videos - Unpretentious, and no non-sense.

At long last, my review of the Fortino blades has been published: https://blog.tabletennis11.com/the-fortino-series?fbclid=IwAR0ODIpEO0hBewema6iFgDme2KgnrjV39zxcZEi1uKBPsYjR60oVnu4_Q90 And below are the unboxing video to go along with the review:

MOG, whenever I play with thinner blades, I experience the same phenomenon with my SPs, i.e., they start to feel unstable in blocking. Playing with thinner blades requires a much more active blocking and driving style (think Mima Ito). While reducing the size of the playing surface will lead to...

5 out of 5 rating for Hurricane 301 The DHS Hurricane 301 blade is a great blade for highly aggressive advanced players. The blade offers good control on soft shots, yet allows the carbon and koto plies to really kick in at faster swing speeds, to produce very fast and flat balls. Due to the...

5 out of 5 rating for Hexer Powergrip The Andro Hexer Powergrip is an exceptionally fun rubber to play with, especially when looping, loop-driving, or counter-looping from mid-distance. This is a rubber for intermediate to professional level aggressive players who want to win spectacular points...

4 out of 5 rating for Hexer Grip I think the Andro Hexer Grip can be a great FH rubber for intermediate level and/or young topspin-oriented players. More advanced players, using faster arm swing speeds, will likely find the sponge of the Hexer Grip to be a little bit too soft. In my opinion...

TT11 sells and ships worldwide

We have had a protracted discussion on MyTT (http://mytabletennis.net/forum/topic87474_page5.html#1088864) what constitutes boosting, and more specifically violation of (ITTF Rule 2.4.7 The racket covering shall be used without any physical, chemical or other treatment). This included a...

Somewhat by coincidence I shot a video the other evening related to this topic. I have had mixed results covering my H3 with plastic sheets, and actually prefer to place it in my airtight blade box without plastic cover sheets. I like to think that very little oxygen reaches the topsheet...

Try Andro Hexer Grip or Powergrip: https://blog.tabletennis11.com/hexergripandpowergrip

It definitively is a big boy rubber - One needs a very fast arm pull and/or strong power from the ground, plus some experience in bodybuilding, at least if using it with an inverted BH. Have you tried using it in a thinner sponge? Given its extreme hardness, I could see that the typical mantra...

4 out of 5 rating for Extra Special The Yasaka Extra Special is an especially interesting blade for intermediate to high-level players who prefer to operate from mid-distance and beyond. It is a fast blade, hard and relatively stiff blade, which can put opponents under pressure with...

5 out of 5 rating for Barwell The Nittaku Barwell is an interesting 7-ply all-wood blade. In my opinion, it is best suited for close-to-the-table and mid-distance players. The Barwell reminds me of a minimally slower and harder-feeling version of the Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition, and...

5 out of 5 rating for Clipper The Stiga Clipper is a fast and stiff blade that likely is best suited for the close-to-the-table attacker, who likes to play off the bounce. Players across a wide range of skill levels can use this blade with proper rubber pairing, ranging from intermediate to...

A simple acknowledgement, i.e., raising your hand without saying anything (or quietly saying 'sorry'), strikes me as the best balance between acknowledging your good fortune (and the opponent's misfortune) without seeming snarky.

I am pretty slammed at the moment with nine TT11 reviews lined up already (https://youtu.be/HVCrs2T2rZ4). Short version: W2 is a heavy short pip (hard sponge), with horizontal pip alignment. Only comes in 2.0 mm. Its strengths are blocking and driving through the ball. It offers minimal...

Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition coupled with brand-new sheets of Nittaku Hurricane Pro 3 Turbo Blue and Nittaku Moristo SP AX hit the sweet-spot for me.

Nope - TT11 have never solicited a review.

Sorry, I haven't tried the Victas 102 and Blowfish. I will put it on the list (although the docket is pretty full at the moment: https://youtu.be/HVCrs2T2rZ4 among others)....

Yeah, as I described in my review, the SP AX is a different kettle of fish. It is a rather unique short pimpled rubber and it will not be everybody's cup of tea. As a fairly recent short pip convert (~4.5 years and counting), I probably still have retained some inverted BH technique, which is...
