I play a modern defensive sort of game at local league level. I currently use andro rasant beat (1.9mm) on my FH and Curl P4 (1.0mm) LP's on the backhand. My BH is usually used for chopping and the occasional attacking shot, but I'm now starting to think that I might actually be able to perform...

Which do you think is better at holding the rubbers onto the blade? I've used sheets before on the LP rubber that I use on my backhand, but always used glue on my inverted forehand rubber. It's only ever the FH rubber that seems to start coming loose around the edges. Does anyone use glue sheets...

Can anyone recommend a decent protective tape that comes in 12mm (so that it covers the blade and the rubber edges). I play mostly in cramped conditions (office lunch room!) and I'm forever hitting my bat on the table, walls etc because there's hardly room to swing a cat, nevermind a TT bat! I...

I'm curious to know how the sponge on the Tenergy 80fx compares to the sponge on the Tibhar Aurus Sound, are they of similar softness or is there a noticeable difference. I currently use the Aurus Sound in 1.7mm on my FH and just wondering if I might get more out of the 80fx. Playing style is...

So I play with LP rubber on my back hand. I've just switched from Giant Dragon Meteorite to Giant Dragon Snowflake. I'm getting on fine with the switch but one thing that is bugging me a bit is that the layout of the pimples is slightly different at the bottom of the rubber and some of the...

Does anyone know which blade and rubbers he uses? His style fascinates me, and my own playing style seems to be similar (although greatly inferior, of course). I play an allround inverted rubber on my FH and a LP on my BH, I use a light-weight combination blade with a slower BH side and a faster...

I'm currently using Giant Dragon Meteorite (0.5mm sponge in red) on my BH. I play a modern defensive sort of game and am getting on well with the rubber, but I'm wondering if anyone can recommend an upgrade: I'm thinking I'd like something that has the potential to be a tad more aggressive...

Am I just imagining it, or is their a general dislike of LP players at the lower levels of table tennis? I play in the league of a relatively small UK city. It sometimes feels like I get frowns from other players when they find out I'm using a long pimple rubber on my back hand. Rather than...

Between Kokutaku Blutenkirsche 868 Japan Sponge and Kokutaku Tule 007 Japan? I'm deliberating between the two and they seem to be identical apart from the name. Customtabletennis.co.uk even uses identical wording in its review of them both: "Kokutaku 868 rubber with a Special Soft 38 Degree...

can anyone offer any suggestions, ideally something that comes with a softer sponge 1.0 - 1.2 mm. Giant Dragon Submarine looks interesting, but does that qualify as sticky?

When serving, does the ball have to be thrown straight upwards such that it falls straight down? just wondering if the ball can be thrown in such a way that it's flight path is more of an arc- shape so that contact with the ball can be made in a different position relative to the table to where...

Does anyone have any experience with the Andro Kanter ALL+ blade? I'm attracted to a light-weight blade and this one tips the scales at just 66g. That's pretty much the lightest ALL+ blade that I can find. The Andro Temper Tech ALL+ also looks good at just 70g. I generally play an allround...
