Buddy, I think that you need to get adjusted to the equipment. This is a challenge which we face when we change and try new setups. I am also facing a similar challenge right now. Some of us don't need much time to adjust whereas, some of us (like me) get disappointed very soon. Remember, each...

I really feel that Maze has a lot of potential and superb ball control. However, I stopped liking him as a player once he started showing frustration during matches. To understand what I am saying checkout his match with Dima during olympics.

Any blade which has a harder topmost ply will offer less dwell time feel. For example, try a blade which has Limba top sheet (ex. Donic Waldner Allplay, Tibhar Stratus Power Wood, Stiga Clipper wood, Stiga Allround Evolution) and the one which has Walnut top sheet (ex. Yasaka Malin Extra...

Thanks for your detailed post on how training looks in China. I would ask you to please share the physical fitness part. As I am very much interested to know how to maintain / increase agility and strength. Thank you and good luck. Sent from my Nokia Lumia 925 using Tapatalk

Hi, please share your playing experiences with the new setup. I am seriously thinking of trying chinese rubbers with boosters. The only concern is that I have never used tacky chinese rubbers in the past and I am not sure how will the results be.

http://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/tt-blade-donic-world-champion-89-waldner-off-tt0354599#.U7_7p1Zvts4 I would like to play with this blade because: 1. This blade looks quite awesome and its a benchmark of Donic quality 2. I am a Donic fan and have been using Donic rubbers and blade for...

Explosive and very impressive, however, did you notice the similarities between what is taught in the video below I think that what Ma Long is doing is an advanced form of this tutorial.

I switched to Donic Bluefire M2 on my forehand after playing almost seven years with Sonex JP Gold and Coppa Series (i.e. Coppa Gold and Coppa Platin) on both sides. I must say that using Donic Bluefire M2 on forehand was nightmare initially. I found it really difficult to adjust and always...

Yes, surely it loads fast. It might take some time to get adjusted to the new layout. But nevertheless, it is fantastic effort. Good job Guys. :)

1. Stiff - Stiff blades are the ones which do not offer much flex. A good example would be 7-ply all wood blades which are stiff. These blades are thicker and heavier in comparison to 5 ply wood blades. Adding carbon layers to the blade (carbon-wood combination) also makes the blade stiff. Such...

Try esn-tt.de. Tensor technology is a patented technology by ESN. I think that it is a central manufacturer of T.T rubbers for different brands like Donic, Tibhar, Stiga, Xiom etc. to name a few. Based on specification produced, different brand names are later attached to the top sheet of the...

Hi There, Here I am back with another request. Firstly, I really don't have sufficient words or gratitude to thank all of you for your valuable time and inputs. Friends, I am struggling to get my timing correct. The most troubled part for me is to get my timing right on my forehand loop...

How does it matters which blade/rubber he uses. What's important is that what he does with it.:p

Thank you very much to all, who have posted on this discussion. I wanted to ask you now, how do you proceed against backspin returns which keep really low, are fast, land very deep and skid on you? Also, what would be difference in technique, if the same return bounces slightly higher, holds up...

Hi, I wanted to discuss with you all the techniques which I have noticed people adopt in their forehand topspin against backspin balls. Please share your views on which technique you use and which one you feel is least stressful and best suited for the offensive game. The purpose of this...

Hi, Here is the rule of thumb, which I followed successfully for these kind of rubbers. After sticking the rubber to the blade do not go ahead with cutting immediately. I let this rest under heavy books for atleast 4-6 hours before cutting the rubber. So it sometimes takes me 1 day or more to...

Yes, blades which have carbon/composite layer more towards the center and away from the top layer of the plies will tend to give more wood like feel. However, make a note that carbon imparts a stiffer feeling to the blade and also reduces vibration. So the flex and feeling which is there in an...

Hi Old School, thanks for your reply. However, I want to mention here that the backspin in the chop block which I get as a return is not very huge. It is just enough the disturb the timing and to make me commit a mistake. So the chop block stroke done by my opponent is also very subtle and...

Hi Friends, I would like to request your help in understand how to play a topspin on a chop blocked ball. I would like to describe my scenario as under: During practice sessions, while I am hitting topspins, a few players in my club tend to chop block the ball. Due to this, my shot goes to...

Hi Richard, Can we have tutorials/lessons like the ones which tibhar has recently posted on youtube? I feel they are fantastic, but they are not in English, so couldn't be understood by many in complete sense. From my point of view, I find that many websites/individuals offer free lessons but...
