  1. Glue with brush

    I am currently using DHS No15 glue. It’s thick and forms a elastic layer, making glue removal easy. I hate to waste the sponge so I wash and dry it each time. I’ve heard that Gewo has a water based glue that comes with a brush attached to the lid. I try searching it but can’t find it. Is there...
  2. Dwindling number

    My inquisitive mind is bothering me so I had to ask this question. So it began with a conversation I had with my coach. He said back in the 1980s there was a huge demand for table tennis. They saw 6 people waiting in each table each evening. That was 6x12 = 72 people. Fast forward to 2010s...
  3. W968 rubber choice

    I’ve finally got my hands on a W968. My BH choice is T64. Most people said W968 is designed to go with Tacky rubber on the FH. But I wonder if anyone has used any non-tacky rubber as FH W968/Long V?
  4. IoT table tennis blade - beginning of a new era

    Probably we will see stand-alone IoT device for TT blade. What's possible? Virtual coaching? Virtual TT game without a VR set? Virtual competition?
  5. LF: Used W968 letter

    DHS W968 letter version if anyone has one
  6. Hurricane Long V series

    We all know that Ma Long has broken quite a few records in history: First double Grand Slams Won every single Gold possible Etc I wonder why the HL V series blades aren’t popular compared to Vis variants?
  7. Return backspin

    I recently started chopping as I got a cheap BTY Matsushita Pro. I put a D09C on FH and Yinhe Neptune (0.7) on BH. Nice feeling, light and good consistency. I beat a few guys who used to beat me. I got another TSP Curl-P1r (0.3-0.7) and tested on my BH. Man my chops just went out of the line...
  8. Grip tape

    I am playing with HL 5X. The handle is very well sanded, thus quite slippery. I have black grip tape. But I would hate to cover the nice handle with a black tape. Is there any secret recipe that can make the handle more grippy without using grip tape?
  9. Old vs new H3

    I’ve been buying Neo H3 prov for a long time. I have used national and commercial ones too. Just recently I slapped a Neo H3 prov BS on my blade. The tack is way off the chart. This is my old H3 BS, tacky as usual. This is the new one I just got: I checked the number on DHS website...
  10. LF Viscaria

    Hi I am looking for a Vis blade. I prefer a weight close to 90g. I also prefer an aged blade, R series or earlier. I don’t care too much about cosmetics tbh. Thank you
  11. BH rubber for RPB

    I've been playing penhold for a long time. In the last two years I have played TG3-60 on my BH with H3 41 on FH. I have two blades - Dynasty carbon (main) and Ovtcharov true carbon (backup). I am a FH oriented player. I play a lot of mid distance FH loop. I play block and chop with my BH. I...
  12. Is this a fake or authentic Taksim?

    Hi I hope some experts in Butterfly products can help. I have done some search on Chinese forum (Taksim is more popular in China than in other countries). They pretty much say the authentic ALC layer is weaved together by two threads, whereas cheap copycat can only weave one thread. Authentic...
  13. Wet ball - let?

    I played a tournament yesterday. I am a spin-oriented player. I open up mostly by FH loop. Earlier on the day things went as expected. The stadium was packed, people sweat more and more later in the day. I was playing a guy who served either no spin or side spin from his BH. I lost quite a few...
  14. Stiga Azalea

    Hi I have read up on Azalea all-round and off. Can anyone compare Azalea All with Azalea off, celero wood and intensity NCT? I use Neo TG2 on FH and T64 on BH. I am looking at the following aspects: How crisp is the feeling How hollow is the feeling How much flex they create on medium and...
  15. What if Xu Xin plays shakehand?

    How do you think his style would change?
  16. Seeking replacement for Hans Alser OC

    Hi i have been enjoying my old Stiga Hans Alser OC. I love the flex and soft feel. But the blade has a strong springy kick which helped looping a lot. My game has improved so much due to the much higher consistency and spin. Unfortunately the top ply got peeled off while changing rubbers. Not...
  17. Omega VII Asia vs Hurricane 3

    I am a long term Hurricane 3 user. Neo H3 Provincial orange sponge is my favorite. My style is spin oriented control play. I am a FH dominant player. I have recently"downgraded" to the old Stiga OC with Hurricane 3 on my FH. I have done some research on Omega VII Asia. Mant said it has insane...
  18. LF Virtuoso, Violin, Acoustic or Hans Asler OC

    As stated in the title. My beloved Hans Asler OC has got part of the top ply torn off. I am looking for one of those stated in the title. I am a SH player and prefer FL.
  19. DHS Long V blade

    I recently switched to a SH DHS Long V. I got it cheap for only $150 NZD. It is the older version with a large head size. I had played with a Stiga Hans Asler OC for a while. It makes me feel Long V is so head heavy and uncomfortable to use. The handle is too slim to hold as well. My question...
  20. Tips and advice on starting a school team

    Hi I put out registration of interest for table tennis at my school. I am a high school teacher. There's no table tennis player at my school. To my surprise, 6 kids turned up at our first meeting. One of our regional coaches are visiting us every two weeks to coach the kids. I am sourcing...
