  1. Fastarc C1 and G1

    I have decided that Tenergy 05fx is a bit bouncy, too bouncy and that these days the negatives of that outweigh the positives, especially with the ABS balls. So I know Fastarc G1 is often touted as a less bouncy but still spinny alternative to Tenergy 05. I have never really used the harder...
  2. Yasaka Falck Carbon or Donic Crest AR+

    I am currently playing with a Ma Lin Carbon. 1.9 Tenergy on forehand and Spinlord Keiler. I was using various 7 ply woods for the pimples, but I hate my fh and what it does to my top spin. Ma Lin is decent, fh and serving is better, but its a bit thin and flimsy and erratic on bh with mid pips...
  3. DHS Skyline 3 Provincial 40' (blue sponge)

    Has anyone tried this? Do you have to boost it for it to work? I never boost Hurricane when I use it! Patrick reviewed it on TT11, but does not say much about it unboosted?
  4. Cure for the EJ

    Hey dudes, I have finally found a cure for EJing, it is so simple. Get a bat you enjoy playing with and play fairly well with. It is that easy. For me it is the Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon. It is not the fastest but it is quick enough, now when I flat hit/drive with 1.9 Tenergy I hardly ever miss...
  5. What is my USA rating?

  7. Is there a softer Xiom rubber comparable with 05fx and FX-S

    Do Xiom make a softer spinny rubber comparable in speed and spin and arc to 05fx? In that tenergy 05fx, evolution FX-s class maybe the 40 to 45 degree class along the lines of the joola green power 365
  8. Effects of sponge thickness on short or medium pimples

    HI so i have always just got 1.8 sp or mid pip as this just seemed to be in the middle. recently i tried a rosewood VII and a koto outer blade, but I found it made my pips a bit too bouncy for my personal preference. but i really liked the rosewood VII in general and it seemed decent on fh...
  9. Does humidity have more negative effect on softer rubbers?

    Even with a Sanwei Fextra and max Tenergy 05fx and a full swing my fh feels like treacle and mushy and slow in humid conditions. My friend uses a Drinkhall Carbon with 05 both sides and does not seem to suffer from the same problem. He tells me hard rubbers do not react as badly in humid...
  10. What, if any carbon blade would you do you use or recommend for short pimples.

    Currently using Sanwei Fextra and Tenergy 05fx and Spinlord Keiler bh. Now Fextra is amazing for Kieler, I think its fairly stiff but has a softish feel from the limba, excellent for blocking and hitting on bh with pips. Over my many different efforts with other blades of different types, I...
  11. I am trying MX-P for the first time!

    Surprisingly for an EJ I have never tried MX-P that will change tomorrow, I have a sheet of MX-P and a sheet of MX-P50 I actually think it might suit my style more than tenergy 05fx, but am worried if I will have enough spin.
  12. Stiga Rosewood VII

    This blade is too beautiful to use!
  13. My technique on fh is bad, am I wasting money on Tenergy?

    Hi my fh technique is very bad, as is my footwork. I do not move my wrist on my fh loop or loop drive only forearm. Therefore I will never have massive topspin, so am I wasting my time using tenergy 05fx. Should i just use MX-P or some other random esn? And concentrate on driving and hitting...
  14. The effect on weight (of player) on play!

    Last summer between lockdowns I was playing the best table tennis of my life generally. I weighed 12st 10lb give or take! This year I have been back playing 2 months with same blade and rubber combination and am playing very badly, inconsistent, not moving, and not transitioning from bh to fh...

  16. Table Tennis England Pride of Table Tennis Awards

  17. Is there an alternative to Tenergy 05fx now?

    Hi, although I try other stuff generally I have used Tenergy 05fx now for about 7 or 8 years on my fh. I have tried 05 but find it a little unforgiving, I am not quite good enough for it. Now I love 05fx for this currently on A Sanwei Fextra 7 ply wood (which suits my pimple bh); Spin Speed...
  18. Joola Nature
