  1. Defensive inverted rubbers

    Yes, I did look at reflectoid and it's certainly an option. Do you have experience with it?
  2. Defensive inverted rubbers

    I'm transitioning away from LP's on my BH. I want to become a bit more attacking with controlled and spinny loops but would still like to be able to chop. Does anyone have any experience with Donic Slice 40 CD or the Tibhar Super Defence 40 as these are both rubbers I'm considering in the...
  3. A fun hypothetical situation to comment on...

    TT monster, I didn't say that you said JSH style was superior...instead I asked the question as to whether it is (or potentially could be) superior, and I asked that question in light of your comment about JSH supplementing his defensive shots with strong loops (thereby having a wider variety of...
  4. A fun hypothetical situation to comment on...

    So does that mean that a modern defensive style like that of JSH is the most superior style, all over variables being equal? That sort of makes sense when you think about it from the perspective of shot variety (where someone like JSH can loop but can also chop). So perhaps we could even ask if...
  5. A fun hypothetical situation to comment on...

    I'm fascinated by the various table tennis styles and have been thinking recently about whether or not some styles are inherently superior to other's. Modern table tennis is obviously dominated at the highest levels by attacking/looping style players...but is this because of a "survival of the...
  6. Should I varnish my blade?

    Thanks guys, lesson learned!
  7. Should I varnish my blade?

    I don't belive my blade was sealed when I bought it...but I put three coats of varnish on it myself, which appears to be far too much in hindsight!
  8. Should I varnish my blade?

    So do you recommend that I varnish a blade and then use sandpaper, or sandpaper the blade and then add varnish? Obviously my current blade is already varnished but I plan on getting a new blade in a month or two.
  9. Should I varnish my blade?

    I should add that my current blade is a donic sensor appelgren all play (v1)
  10. Should I varnish my blade?

    I'm really struggling with glues at the moment. I've tried several different brands of table tennis glue and none of them seems to hold the rubber securely. At first I thought I was just being unlucky with dodgy batches of glue, but the longer this goes on it must be something else. I've even...
  11. Strongest Glu?

    thanks. I'll take a look online.
  12. Strongest Glu?

    What the strongest (and legal) table tennis Glue that you can buy? I'm so fed up of gluing new rubbers only to have them lift away from the blade within minutes of fixing them down (and yes, this is after the glue on the rubber and blade has been allowed to dry). Thanks
  13. Playing more than one style?

    Are there any examples of players playing at a reasonably high level that alternate between different playing styles depending upon their mood or who they are playing? I started out playing modern Defence with LP's on the backhand, and I'm now trying to learn to play a looping game with inverted...
  14. Looking for BH rubber recommendations

    Having switched from a modern defensive style using LP's on the BH, I'm having to re-learn my game a bit and am struggle to find a decent inverted rubber for the BH. I'm trying to become a more attacking player so want to focus on topspin loops and aggressive blocking on the BH. I've been using...
  15. How can I watch the Olympic table tennis from the UK?

    Thanks, I'll give that a try.
  16. How can I watch the Olympic table tennis from the UK?

    Are there any live streaming sites I can visit from here in the UK? Looks like the BBC iPlayer is updating with results but I want to actually watch the matches! One of the BBC channels says its showing table tennis (it should be on my TV right now as I type this) but for some reason its...
  17. Glue for homemade return board?

    Can anyone recommend a glue that would be a cheaper alternative to using actual table tennis glue? It'll need to be able to glue table tennis rubbers to varnished mdf. thanks stuart
  18. Tearing my hair out with OX rubber

    I'll probably buy a new one and use a glue sheet instead.
  19. Tearing my hair out with OX rubber

    Yes, glue was dried (so that it turns from white to clear).
