Another thing worth trying is using multiple layers of glue!! Enough so you can see the glue layer!! For example 2 or 3 on the blade, 2/3/4 on the sponge, another reason for the 2.15mm sponge, if you use a soft glue like DHS No15 it stays soft and elastic, sort of adds another rubber layer under...

Both the ladies were very consistent, but you can see the difference to that Div 1 lady in your previous vid, much faster!!

Yeah, I remember that vid!! Out and out smash and grab!!! The lady had the biggest b***s in the end!!!

If you don’t want to boost you could also give H8 a try, hard or mid-hard sponges available, a little faster than H3N provincial, tack wears off after a while, but this just seems to make it better!! Spin is also good. Excels when looping on FH. H8 was the first DHS rubber I tried, liked it a...

In golf, ringers are called BANDITS !!!, they have their ‘official’ Handicap, they mainly play in ‘swindles’ which are a group of members that play every week / weekend in their own groups, these can be a large or small group. The swindle is separate from official club events, so the swindle...

I disagree to a certain extent, yep, practice serving before the training on your own, but also get your coach involved with your service as well, ask him to receive your serves, how you can improve your service action and deception of spins imparted. Is the serve setting up your 3rd ball...

Hi Der_Echte, Totally different world!!! Looks like it’s great fun and SO well supported!! more of a social day out, as well as a competition. Bet the post Tourney evening entertainments could be TOTALLY BRUTAL!!!!!

Hi, it would be really great if you could post some video footage, so we can see your level of play!! it looks like you have a good coach, so keep going with what he recommends in the formal sessions with him. It’s, as far as I’m concerned, excellent that he dedicates 30mins for serve...

Hi Der Echte How often are these types of event held? In a particular city /town or region. Events of this size are generally pretty sparse where I live, especially for 20+ tables!!

That’s a question I had, inverted both sides or maybe short pips BH?, Also hardly any short serves, half long at best, the guy that won did maybe 2 or 3 short serves during the whole match. But I guess this is because they want an open type game which suit their style. Opens up the point to...

Hi, I can’t see how to post a review on a product that hasn’t been reviewed before. I’d appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction!! cheers!!

One thing about being in a 'lockdown' but still being able to work and get paid, is that I have more surplus cash at the end of each month than I have for about 30yrs !!! Lucky to be able to work, gotta be hard for a lot of people out there.

Hi 5ply, like yourself, I’ve tried out a fair amount of rubbers and blades over the last year!! it’s been enjoyable and educational. Chinese rubbers, learnt how to boost those as well!! ESN rubbers, BTY rubbers etc, tacky, hybrid grippy, even tried a med pips rubber!! Blades, mainly all wood...

Great review!!!

Everyone always seems to quote Butterfly as having the most expensive rubbers, but actually DHS do!! Their H3 National rubbers cost more than D05 etc. Generally BTY rubbers are slightly more expensive, but ESN are also pretty costly. With the likes of R48 and Dynaryz matching T05. At the other...

Basics stats, such as - unforced errors, outright winners. serve receive %, so maybe 100% serve returned, but only 30% of those points won by receiver. Server would have 70% points won on serve, can then be broken down further, server won x points with 3rd ball attack, y with 5th ball etc...

I take it your dad has a table at home? generally the robots either stand on the end of the table, or are free standing. some have catch nets and feeder trays, some you have to load the balls manually into a bucket which holds 100 or so balls. Butterfly has some expensive robots. Joola do one...

Hi Everyone, Would like some feed back on the difference between Nittaku Acoustic outer compared to TB ALC / Viscaria cheers!!

PK50 is pretty quick and produces really great spin levels, it’s tacky but could do with more!! The sponge is around 50 degree hardness, in another thread I said that I struggle with grippy ESN type top sheets and sponge hardness of 50+ degrees, PK50 just slips into this category for me!! I...

Nittaku H3 turbo orange sponge is way more towards a normal Chinese rubber than a ‘hybrid’ rubber. maybe quicker than Std H3 / H3Neo, but not by much!! When I used it on a Nittaku Acoustic I really didn’t like it that much!! It lasted about 2 sessions then came off the blade rapido!!! This...
