To add to what Carl has said, I'd also ask why you are changing? It sounds like cost is a factor? If so, that makes things a little different to just "an alternative".

As part of my order with www.ttequipment.co.uk I picked up a sheet of Double Fish 8338 2.1mm Black - Note: The blade was a Yinhe T7s, which is rated as Off-. I’ve been on the look out to try and find something that is usable for all levels of players at the clubs I play at - Most of whom don’t...

I recently received an order from a relatively new Table Tennis shop in the UK (www.ttequipment.co.uk), and after chatting with Dean on the forum, I decided to get some of the new Double Fish (DF) rubbers he was going to start stocking. The order I received was: Blade - Yinhe T7s (used in...

My goal is to give up the hobby of fishing...... Despite it being fun, it's not conducive to wins! My plan this season is to attack, counter, and stay a metre or so away from the table - No more. The times I've dropped back with MX-S these past weeks, I've ended up producing a nothing shot due...

Hey NL! How's it going? You must know something about my financial situation that I don't haha! On the backhand? Possibly..... On the forehand..... Only if MX-S doesn't last as long (and it becomes a false economy). Tenergy costs me £56. MX-S costs me £34 - It's just too much of a saving to...

Hi @Xaoc, With the MX-S rubbers on, it weighs 188 grams - Not sure what the blade alone is (I'll weigh it next time I change rubbers). The handle is a good width for a bigger person, but it is also longer than normal (but not too long). When I used the TB ALC after playing with the VSU, the...

Good thinking Carl - I think myself, and my team mates could all benefit from these little drills (rather than 100% match play). It's a shame the US doesn't have a similar league structure to the UK (which I think works well). I know we have the same convo every few years haha!

Yeah, I've used it and I liked it - I may end up switching to it when this is dead, but I'll be damned if I'm doing it now! I'll see if I can grow to like it - But EL-S is definitely on my radar (I've set up a few bats with this for some guys at the club and I like it).

Measured as always Carl! I don't mind people offering feedback - Even those who might play at a lower level. I'm comfortable enough in my own ability to know what's right, and what I could improve on. If you ask any of my team mates, it's always "Take the ball earlier.... Stop dropping...

Videoing yourself is really useful for seeing little things - I'll certainly be more conscious of weight transfer and taking the ball a little earlier in future!

The higher up the ranks you go, the more spin and placement take over from power - As I'm sure you are aware. It's one of the great joys of internet forums - Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but as we see all too often, people can give inaccurate assessments, which to a player looking to...

We can agree to disagree on that one - I think there is absolutely a different technique required - It's not as dramatic as some make out, but it's certainly different. There will always be exceptions to the rule, and professional players will be able to handle anything. However, until I see...

Hey Fanz - I think your opinion possibly comes from playing with Chinese rubbers, which requires a different stroke altogether. I also think a lot of amateur players on the forums try and play with H3, or see their idols (the CNT), play with H3, with their specific style, and try and emulate...

Weekends are hard for me - I played much more than I had intended last year. Plus..... 2 whole days for only 8 matches! Eurgh......

Nah I'm not (thankfully) - I played for Westfield 1's last year (which played at Westfield in Wellingborough). Did you play against Westfield 2's?

I've spoken to a lot of top coaches who say to take the ball just before the top of the bounce. I guess if you are close to the table and attacking, that's the way to go. I don't think I'll ever be in that mould - It's just not my style.

Yeah, I'm 6ft 4. It didn't help that in the exercise we were doing, my partner was struggling with consistency - Hard to build a rhythm up. Looking over it myself, the long rally at 27 seconds was about perfect for me I think.

I think 100% of the people would say similar to you. I used to play another metre or so further away - Far too enjoyable, and didn't get as many wins! haha. I'm not as quick as most when I go closer to the table - If I get into a "quick hitting" match with someone, I usually come off worse (I...

Question for you folk - How late do you take the ball? I've always taken the ball later than I should - A byproduct of enjoying "fishing" at the back of the court. I'm trying to take the ball earlier these days - I think the rally at 27 seconds is about perfect for me. Do you like to take the...

Haha - Why do you think that is? I don't think I've seen recent video of you playing, but I've seen some old matches where you look in decent nick.
