  1. Baracuda

    4 out of 5 rating for Baracuda Spinny, quite slow with good control, using it on my backhand and has been useful to improve my backhand loop. It has a high throw which takes some getting used to. I have this in max, it is quite heavy which is important to keep in mind as it can make your setup...
  2. 3 star 40+

    4 out of 5 rating for 3 star 40+ My local league uses these balls and I've had a decent experience with them, they don't seem to break too easily and seem to be relatively consistent, bounce does seem quite high. It seems quite hard, I've tested this by pressing my fingers into it and it won't...

    Spinny, quite slow with good control, using it on my backhand and has been useful to improve my backhand loop. It has a high throw which takes some getting used to.

    Review by 'Richie' on item '3 star 40+'

    My local league uses these balls and I've had a decent experience with them, they don't seem to break too easily and seem to be relatively consistent, bounce does seem quite high. It seems quite hard, I've tested this by pressing my fingers into it and it won't budge unless pressed pretty hard...
  5. avoiding traps

    Think about what you need to do differently with the current setup you have and why you lost. If someone has a slower game than you, you need to adapt and not rush your shots. Easily said I know because it does take some time and if you're playing a league match or a competition then you...
  6. Need advice for rubbers

    I can vouch for donic baracuda on BH, I love it, if you brush the ball well you can create ridiculous amounts of spin but like Carl says it isn't that fast and it is quite a hard rubber. This rubber has really helped me develop by bh. It has a really high throw angle (higher than tenergy) but...
  7. Help me find a pimples rubber for my grandad

    I do this everytime I go and see him ;). This is why he likes the old bat I gave him so much because when he plays me I just stand back and lob.. or block his shots and let him hit them hard as much as he wants :).
  8. Help me find a pimples rubber for my grandad

    First of all thank you all a ton for the nice responses, I shall let him know about this haha. So I think I need to clarify a bit about what kind of level the table tennis that he plays and the people he plays is. I've tried to improve his forehand, but he pretty much plays every single shot...
  9. Help me find a pimples rubber for my grandad

    Thanks guys, my grandad has never really played seriously just for fun at this club and on cruises etc so he has never developed proper technique, so really I just want something that's simple and will do the job which his previous dead bat sort of did but I reckon pimples will suit his...
  10. Help me find a pimples rubber for my grandad

    Hi guys, my grandad recently turned 80 and has been playing with a dead bat for a long time. I let him play with my old stiga allround classic with a tenergy 05 and stiga calibra lt sound. He loved it just because it was faster and I was just feeding him balls so it was easy for him to get the...
  11. What made you stick with Table Tennis?

    Yes! Seeing the ball spin off someone else's bat due to your spin is also super satisfying. Also the ball dipping or curving because of the spin.
  12. What made you stick with Table Tennis?

    I'm in Canada on holiday at the moment and haven't had the chance to play since back at home and my body is aching to play. What has me hooked on table tennis is the ability to manipulate the ball through spin for sure.. I don't know why, it just brings in another dimension that's so cool and...
  13. What music would you choose if...

    I'd probably go with something different for each time haha.. but for now this:
  14. What is your second passion?

    Glad you like Dan :) and F2 are more regarded as entertainers and arent really involved in the community, they don't even enter competitions because they know they'd get knocked out instantly. They're great at what they do though entertainment wise and at football skilly stuff but it's quite...
  15. What is your second passion?

    I do a bit of an underground sport known as freestyle football/soccer.. been doing it less and less though as table tennis has taken up more and more of my time.
  16. World Tour Grand Finals 2015

    Wow, on the edge of my seat.. absolutely amazing performance from both players.. what a match! Congrats to Ma Long.
  17. Help me saving a relic (blade)

    Do you really want to play with it again? If I were you I'd keep it as a memory somewhere and not take the risk of damaging it. Of course you can do as you please, if it's really important to you to play with it again then you should go for it.
  18. Acoustic

    5 out of 5 rating for Acoustic Nittaku acoustic is an allwood blade composed of limba, limba, tung-tree, limba, limba the limba ply being a soft ply makes the blade soft with great feeling. There is some variation in weight, mine is 91g which is a nice balanced weight to me. The amount of...
  19. My pendulum and reverse pendulum serve variations akin to Zhang jike!

    I understand, I don't mind the angle at the moment, it just might be interesting to some people if you're considering making tutorials :) I'm soon going away for 3 weeks but I'll see if I can put something together before then! It'd be a very good learning experience. Hopefully get some good...
  20. My pendulum and reverse pendulum serve variations akin to Zhang jike!

    Looking pretty good, would be good to get some different camera angles in there too, like from the side so people can see your motion more clearly, for learning at least :) Considering making some serve vids myself as it'd be good to see myself and see what I can improve and I love serving.. for...
