Yeah I agree, I’d play with TDE it,s a very good rubber, but there are rubbers as good but cheaper!!

I have Mizuno wave something or other, I have to wear 2 pairs of socks!! but they are pretty good!! Also have some Tibhar mesh flexlight 2 shoes, these are fine size wise, asked for euro size 10 and they fitted perfectly. I found the insoles to be pretty firm and suffered some foot pain the...

Yonex have wide versions of their badminton shoes. They are fine for table tennis, or at least the pair I had were!!

The tackiness takes care of some of the catapult. Loki Arthur China is a good rubber, I believe there are now 2 versions, the version in the green packaging is faster than the original Orange packaged version. You could also try Battle 3. As a wild card, Butterfly Tackiness Drive. has some...

One way of looking at speed, is how far the ball travels for a similarly struck stroke. Nittaku Acoustic, comes in 3 types- All wood, inner & outer carbon layers, and when each is used (with the same rubbers) you would be able to get a good idea of how the different basic compositions of the...

Because the sponge has larger bubbles in it.

You can go even slower if you want!! Def / Def+/All- blades can still pack a punch, especially for close to table rallies. close quarter stuff, max speed is not necessary. depends on level of players, but for most intermediate level players good precision with spin is likely to win you more...

H8-80 is a little bouncier / faster than H3 so slightly more user friendly but you still have to brush the ball well, most tacky Chinese rubber types promote good technique, because you have to put a bit more into your shots. Everyone seems to be disappointed with H9, there are 4 variations, The...

I think H8, H8-80 are unchanged, not sure about H2

Recently DHS changed the make up of the H3 top sheet, now it is less tacky than it was previously. Give H8-80 a try, 37 degree for BH and 38 degree for FH. some of the Loki rubbers are good, along with Friendship 729 Battle 2 (various versions available) and Battle 3 Otherwise just give H3 or...

Main difference is speed of the blades, the 1st 2 are faster than the 3rd. Better to us BTY's blade chart as a guide. This shows a more even spread of the difference in speed. Viscaria rated at about 11.8 reaction (speed) Innerforce ALC about 10.7 reaction Primorac (all wood) about 10...

Yeah, that was my thought too, softer feel. I'm comparing to B2 though, haven't used the Battle Max Hi Lawsy, Hardness - 38 degrees for the B3, which some consider 'too soft' especially for a FH rubber, but as I said everyone is different!!! Regarding the 'slipping' it isn't that bad, DNA...

For the last 3 to 4 weeks I've been playing with Battle 3 on FH and Loki Arthur China on BH, both un-boosted. Out of the pack, the amount of tackiness and bounce drop test were virtually identical. The speed was the main difference, LAC being faster than B3. After I initially glued them to my...

team A and team B Team a choose a player to serve 1st, this player is denoted as A1, Team B choose player to receive, this player is denoted B1. Team A 2nd server is A2, Team B 2nd receiver is B2. these denotations remain for the whole match. Game 1 A1 to B1, B1 to A2, A2 to B2, B2 to A1 Game...

I don’t really think you can compare Pro’s with amateurs!! The higher the level an amateur player is, their warm up will also advance in what they do compared to what a local league player will do!! Local league - Some away fixtures mean that there is no warm up on the table AT All. You...

What you call a Hit I'd call a Drive. 'Focus more on hitting (thru) the ball than brush and you get the BH drive'

Basic strokes to learn as a beginner are FH and BH drive, FH and BH push, plus a serve. A basic drive and push have very little use of the wrist. Although it is very important to relax and still grip lightly. one issue we sometimes encounter is a learner can tighten up their grip too much...

Hi Dingyibvs, BH hit? - Flat hit or more open blade topspin? that was Wrighty67's question.

BTY Primorac all wood (Japan made) is great blade, a little more expensive than the Euro made version, which is also a great blade, one of BTY’s all time best sellers!! Which speaks volumes in favour of this blade. Pairs well with a lot of rubbers. Wrighty67 mentioned SDC, excellent hand made...

All wood (off- / all+) generally allows a player to be able to produce spin easier. There are fast/hard all wood blades that play similarly to blades with carbon layers (Off / Off+), so I would go for Off-/All+
