Dear all, I need your help to decide which blade should I get next. My level & style: Penholder with Full RPB, plays in local leagues in UK - not the first division. Forehand is decent for someone without regular coaching, backhand is a weakness that I sometimes get away with if my opponent...

Cybershape Mantra Pro M! All you need to do now is to perfectly align these with your cybershape when you glue them on... Also, Mantra Sound (42 deg) and Mantra Control (45 deg) are now available.

IIRC rakzas and fastarcs were around 40 EUR. Most rubbers seem to have a 20-25٪ price increase.

Starting to think that I bought too many rubbers... still missing Sanwei Gear Nano (domestic version of Hyper) and the pink Sword Ares IMO.

Hi all, I have been training more seriously than before in 2023, and I found that 1) I need a long time (>=30 minutes) to feel properly warmup. Before that I felt ready for matches after 5 to 10 minutes of knocking 2) I am less tolerant of random feeds during warmup. I am moving my feet and...

Hi everyone, I am interested in your personal experience with Chinese rubbers at 39 sponge hardness nominally, UNBOOSTED (factory tuning is allowed, like ITTF rules), and rank them in the order of how hard it feels to you. If possible, please also state what blades you put them on!

Hi, I recently switched from Jupiter 3 to Rasanter R47 on my forehand. Whilst the R47 is lovely in many aspects, my short spinny backspin serve disappeared. Two questions: 1) Any tips on technique for me to adapt to serving with R47? 2) Any non-tacky rubbers (not hybrid) that makes it easy to...

Butterfly is one of the most, if not the most, popular TT brand. They are famous for Tenergy and Dignics, often regarded as the best rubbers in their generations. Rozena, is often recommended for beginners and intermediate players. It is, in my eyes, Tenergy-lite. Less top speed and spin, but...

Hi all, I find it difficult to find Chinese penhold models in the UK. I am wondering if anyone tried playing penhold style (hopefully RPB) with flared/straight handles. My guess is the long handle would make the blade more head-light, which is not a bad thing for me as that should be easier on...

I have done some calculations to help translating ratings v.s. skill levels. My calculations are done based on data from https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Table-Tennis/Ratings/Rating-System When two players play together, the winner will gain the exact amount of points that the loser will lose. The...

First of all, let's start with my understanding about 'throw'. In my mind, the 'throw' is the angle that the ball will leave the racket surface when you loop (or other stroke). The ball will leave a high throw rubber in tangential direction (in direction of brushing), whereas the ball will leave...
