  1. Clipper CR

    Review by 'Olio' on item 'Clipper CR'

    The Stiga Clipper CR (and CR WRB) is a great blade for developing players (and more!). Lots of control, suitably fast. This blade has no weaknesses and can be used by defenders, blockers, hitters, spinners... The drawback is that it does not shine in one particular aspect. For a pure topspinner...

  2. Hurricane Long 5

    Review by 'Olio' on item 'Hurricane Long 5'

    This blade is one of the best in the current (commercial) DHS offering. It is mostly sold with FL handle, although some CHinese websites seem to sell ST versions. It weights +/- 93 grams, so not a light blade. The blade face dimensions are also slightly bigger than most. BTY blades are...

  3. Omega V Pro

    Review by 'Olio' on item 'Omega V Pro'

    I ply with Omega V Pro (OVP) in max on my forehand. It's a modern rubber, made for the plastic ball. It's slightly hard, but that's just what the new ball requires. I'd rate it a bit softer than T05 + old ball. It has a hint of tackiness (if you leave the bat to rest on the ball, the ball will...

  4. Vega Asia

    5 out of 5 rating for Vega Asia Can't fault that rubber. Soft topsheet with a hard sponge, it works very well with the new plastic ball or the old celluloid one. Fast, balanced, a very linear rubber with a lot of control and an medium - high throw. This makes topspins, blocks and drives easy...

  6. TTEdge Executing Table Tennis Shots Series!

    Cue debate about the throw and flight of the ball... Nevertheless, Brett, thanks for your very useful videos. I enjoy them very much and use them for my or my students' development.

  7. DHS Hurricane Long 5 vs Butterfly Viscaria

    I don't believe it's a kiri core. And I'm not the only one to think that... http://www.tabletennisdaily.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?1424-Michael-Maze-Blade Already, you should not compare Clipper and Ebenholtz. Apart from being made of wood by Stiga, they are very different beasts. Let alone...

  8. DHS Hurricane Long 5 vs Butterfly Viscaria

    There is some confusion here with the diagrams. 1) HL5 is not as described, it is more like innerforce ALC, so Limba - Limba - ALC - Ayous - ALC - Limba - Limba 2) Maze is Limba - ALC - Limba - Ayous - Limba - ALC 3) Viscaria, as decribed above, is quite different with Koto - ALC - Limba -...

  9. Strange equipment change issues.

    It can also depend on technique, and of course, touch.

  10. Fake Viscaria blade?

    Fake 100%.

  11. Butterfly Michael Maze Blade

    Yep, stopped. Most similar blade in BTY range is Innerforce ALC. Most similar in other ranges are Drinkhall Powerspin carbon (seems to be limba outer), or Samsonov Stratus Pro, or Joola Fever. Or Hurricane Long 5 / W997, limba outer + ALC also (although more like Innerforce, 2 layers of limba...

  12. Deciding on a blade

    Dylan, as Scottish #1, you have access to great coaches, so ask THEM. Not people on a forum that do not know you and have never seen you play. Note: you should have a sponsorship deal so I'd expect you can get a few blades cheap and sell them if not suitable, or try your mates'.

    I think Fan Zhen Dong will win the Swedish open 2015

  15. Butterfly Tenergy 05 or Tibhar Evolution MX-P?

    I can't find the source but remember reading this in a question asked to him directly. He said he would play with the heaviest MXP or with T05.

  16. Butterfly Tenergy 05 or Tibhar Evolution MX-P?

    Marcos Freitas used to play with either. Try them both and choose your favourite. If you don't have one, buy the cheapest

  17. Fantastic foam brush for gluing rubber

    Victoria glue? I've recently started using Finezip, and I'm trying several pieces of foam I regularly get in the packaging of online orders. First conclusion I've reached is that if it's too dense it does not work well. As for the clip, I use this ...

    I've got them! Finally, they landed on my door, so I'll try and test them asap (hopefully tonight). We've got some Yasaka 1* at the club, which I will compare them to... Thanks to Tees sports for sorting this out quickly (after I contacted them). It looked like they were sent from Germany...
