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...

Sanwei has released two new blades under their Trio series banner in 2023 and have graciously sent them to me for review. The Parla, a seven ply all wood blade, and the Echo, a five ply all wood blade. To start with, I asked Sanwei a few questions: Parla and Echo are part of the Trio series –...

Video review: Written review: Sanwei was kind enough to send me their latest flagship table tennis blade from their Expert Carbon (EX-C) series, the Sanwei Froster PBO, for review recently and I’ve spent some time putting it through its paces. The blade comes in a light blue Sanwei-branded...
