  4. Are new coloured pimples different to old Red or Black?

    Are new coloured pimples different to old Red or Black? Most players think Red pips are harder more disruptive. I am considering buying some blue spectol S3, but wondered if they are softer like Black or Harder like Red?

  8. Do I hit through the sponge or brush?

    I think I brush the ball and make thin contact, however unless using tacky rubbers, I prefer the feel of softer rubbers. eg 05fx prefered to 05! Hurricane I prefer 40 degree to 39 degree This does not seem to make sense! Surely if i brush well I could use harder varieties. Shall I post some...
  9. Is black tenergy softer and spinnier than red?

    I think Black Tenergy 05fx is spinnier than red when new? What do you think? Are other Tenergys the same?
  10. Tenergy 05 vs Tenergy 05fx

    Hi as many know I have largely used Tenergy 05fx for years. Is it time to wear my big boy pants and use Tenergy 05 in Max? 05fx = easy access to spin, very spinny forehand loops, decent drives. bouncy on serve return, the slightest mis read exaggerated to hell very inconsistent on blocking or...
  11. Wanted Tibhar Akkad

    does anyone have a flared tibhar akkad they would sell me please
  12. Can you loop effectively with a thinner balsa blade?

    Can you get a decent spinny loop with a TSP balsa 4.5? Generally thicker balsa blades are awful for looping! Maybe the thinner ones flex a little for looping?
  13. Has anyone gone back to reversed both sides after an extended period using pimples?

    Hi imo the abs ball has pretty much made the mid pimple i use obsolete, the reduced spin in the game and speed just means I have to actually wallop the ball to win a point. my pips are basically ineffective and just play like a really rubbish reversed, I even played someone the other day who...
  14. Cured EJ

    As I have not posted for quite a while and have stopped being an EJ, I thought I would put up a new post! I have just spent about 6 months with same blade and rubbers. Tibhar Akkad, Hurricane 40degree Provincial Neo (orange sponge) and Kieler 1.5 I have been playing fairly consistently and...

  18. Finally found the Holy Grail

    So after trying quite a few different blade and rubbers. In desperation I returned to a blade I used 4 years ago. It has reasonable control, reasonable speed. Spin is pretty accessible. Serves and tight game decent. It also seems ok with medium pips. Stiga Infinity with 1.9 Tenergy 05fx and...
  19. What are the best orange balls?

    I used to prefer Orange balls, most venues have bad lighting or white walls. It is pathetic to play with white balls at most venues. Therefore what are the best Orange balls we can buy these days? In terms of spin and speed? I used to love the old nittaku celluloid orange balls.
  20. Can a player serve better with a less spinny (arguably) rubber?

    Today I managed to try Fastarc G1, I am thinking of moving away from Tenergy 05fx for various reasons. Anyway I think I hack serves not brush them in general. My serves are not great. Today I hacked my serves with G1 and seemed to be getting more spin and variation than with my usual 05fx...
