Hi Sergey, Great to have you on the forum!! Looking forward to hearing your views and knowledge on TT. my question is - what’s your favourite Scoobie Snack?

One thing I found is to try and concentrate on one stroke, as you said about the BH flick/ Bh v under spin opener etc, it’s not only about the stroke mechanics. Movement, placement , tempo, the return of the flick etc all change your rally composition. What you ‘expect’ to happen doesn’t...

Hi Yogi, good to see you posting again!! Hope all is well. I agree, D09C is slower, but it has a strong catapult effect, still needs to be controlled!!

TE is similar in speed to Loki Arthur Europe / Asia, the Arthur Diamond Europe is a non tacky rubber, spin is ok but not the highest, faster and fairly bouncy, probably better off with the Donic options or other grippy bouncy rubbers that are out there!!! Donic Bluegrip - V1 is close to the...

Hi, Rakza Z has a high throw, so shouldn't be an issue to lift backspin with BH flick or BH loop (when behind the table). Not sure what blade you are going to use but Rakza Z can be pretty fast and 'lively' on a Viscaria!!! The H8-80 37 degree was ok on my BH, nowhere near as bouncy as Rakza Z...

Hi Gozo, Enough said already!! make sure you stick with the coaching it's defo a long term thing!! Since I started playing again 3 years ago, being coached 2 times a week, but not intensive 1 to 1 coaching, I have improved but it's still yet to really show in match results. It just takes time...

I’ll comment on ‘motivational self talk’ at the end of another long winded post!!! apologies in advance!! But this topic is also to do with your ‘state of mind’ which is a pretty large topic!, I find I have good days, bad days, very bad days and very good days!!! But doesn’t everyone ...

I have a weight advantage!!! (Disadvantage) 😂😰 ​​​​​​​

H8-80 unboosted 37 degree BH and 38 degree FH, compared to a tensor they are pretty dead feeling but nothing like how a 40 or 41 degree H3 (unboosted) would feel !!!! personally I found the 37 degree H8-80 fine to use, same with H3 37 degree (boosted) I tried, the boosted H3 felt softer than...

Am I right in thinking that the main reason for a tensor on BH is for speed, because it makes up somewhat for the general lack of strength of a players BH compared to what they can produce on the FH side? This is also shown by the fact they twiddle to forehand for smashes (flatter hits) because...

Sure if an individual is ‘lazy’ doesn’t train or have regular coaching then the bouncy grippy type rubbers can seem easier to play with, give good spin and speed etc Perhaps there could be a case to say that the bouncy grippy rubbers are HARDER to learn with, more because of the very bouncy...

Tau2, as mocker88 said is definitely more bouncy, the sheets I have tried have retained tack very well. If you don’t want to boost, and still want a tacky top sheet then the best options are the hybrid type rubbers. There are a lot of hybrid options these days, it a case of trying to find one...

Tau 2 does have more bounce, but is still fairly linear, its not bouncy in the same way T05 or similar is.

Same here!! no issues with Revo no3 and H8-80 (yet!!!!!!)

Factory Boosting???

Hi Alex, Advice given is generally better if we can see you both playing on a video clip. Any more info would also be good. Are you both regular club players? Play in a league? Or just for fun? knowing what sort of standard / level of ability.you both have will enable better advice...

Hi KT, I felt the same when I was younger, At first from beginner level, you can improve quite quickly (over a year, playing and being coached 2 or 3 times a week) but only in a sort of basic way. Learning the basic strokes. I found that I reached a certain level and was able to beat those that...

Hi PPP, that clip was from a while ago, it’s set up in my fathers garage, I moved out because of covid and just popped in to practice, both parents were classed ‘as at risk’ I rented with my partner, that lease ended in July so we rented again but a furnished property, all our stuff went into...
