Thank you for the quick reply. I'll send an email for sure if occasion occurs

I'm going to spend 2 holiday weeks in south-western Germany, precisely touring around in Black Forest north area (nordliche Schwarzwald for German speaking audience). Is there any good TT shop that worth a visit? I'd like to make a gift to my 9yo son (shoes, shirts....for blade/rubbers I let...

Well I don't really have much experience on different blades so I'm not able to compare different type of wood. I can say that in Clipper I liked: - weight - handle - overall feeling during different shots: soft touch in short play, enough dwell time in loops, general ball feeling, good punch...

do you mean the "special edition"? https://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/tibhar-force-pro-special-edition should be a Black Force Pro with thinner handle.

Hello, quite a tricky one here with a lot of constraints :) I can't use my Clipper anymore, as it is now in my son's hands. Story here https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/best-neutral-rubbers-to-improve-offensive-technique.36516/page-2#post-531935 and I don't want to play with my 3+2...

Regarding rubbers, I'm thinking to glue the 2 MarkV used I got (1.8 and 2.0 thickness, not so worn out) just to try and stay low cost. As they are no tensor and with predictable behaviour, I hope they could be right to start to feel defensive stroke. For blade, I'm looking around for something...

Some more info about my previous: "I'm no expert and I don't know how much heat and humidity could affect grip/performance, but it seems both used rubbers are at 30-40% of their lifes; I played only 120 hours with them... is this life expectancy reasonable?" Last session I really had sensation...

By "too bouncy" you mean it has some offensive potential (=you can perform some powerful topspin too) or you mean it's diffcult to control chopping shots?

Talking about Donic DefPlay, I've found 2 different types: - DefPlay Senso V3 5ply 85gr - DefPlay Classic Senso 6ply (?) 70gr Same price, same availability; but what are differences? Which one could suit my need more?

Thank you @ZFT and @Tyce for the explanation and others for suggestions. I take a look around and then will check some discounts/used stuff to start with. Have a nice day

Thank you in the meantime for suggestions. Honestly , I'm not used to chinese or any tacky rubber, so I prefer to stay on European rubbers. Is there any budget friendly option? (Donic Liga for example? Or are they really for beginners?) And regarding playing style, maybe it's useful to add...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a cheap defensive setup to have fun in my club. I am a low-intermediate offensive player both sides, but sometimes I enjoy a session in complete defence-mode. After finding out that chopping from far away is really diffcult for me with my setup (currently 3+2...

Summer news... As my son's season ended, it's now time, for him, to try/experiment new materials; he has good coach, no problem with his learning path. On the contrary, I walk by myself and I'm trying the following: 1) used Acuda S1 and Vega Pro on my old Almas carbon blade, to feel the...

In the end I got straight with switched rubbers as I want to focus on improving backhand drive/loop (my worst weakness). And...surprise: - Acuda S1 on FH is going better and better also on slow/brushed loops: I started to "use" a bit more sponge than only topsheet grip, and it's working. I'm...

Don't want to be "Italian fan" at any cost, but it seems fair to mention Gaia Monfardini performance: - great win against Doo Hoi Kem (not in best shape to be honest, but a dangerous player anyway) in R64 - intense match against Shin Yubin in R32, well played for 4 sets with a bit of lucky shots...

Hello guys, I'm back with more feedback after a couple of months of playing with same configuration. Below some additional info. Vega Pro max on FH. Still very satisfied: good control, great sensibility and many "gears" as you add power to strokes. I'm now working to improve my different kind...

Some update. I made my choice and bought (on fairly good discount): - Vega Pro max - Acuda S1 2.0mm First impression after 3 weeks of play for 2-3 times/week Vega Pro max on FH. Immediately feel good on all type of shots. It's sensitive on short/push game, good on slow brushed topspin and...

Hello, in the meantime I had the chance to glue 2 Tibhar EL-P (both 1.8mm) on my old carbon blade and play 4-5 times. I got them from my son and they are pretty worn out, but I wanted to try recent material and share info anyway. They are surely faster than MarkV and feel "harder" during...

Thanks for the info. Nittaku seems to be well considered. I'll try to find one from local dealers. Apart from that, what about rubbers from Butterfly or Tibhar/Donic (easier to find in my place)?

Hello, I know there are tons of topic regarding beginner-to-intermediate material, but my starting point might be a bit different so I'm adding a new one.... ;) First of all, many thanks to TTD staff and all contributors. Then a quick recap about myself (TT side): I used to play "seriously"...
