  1. Variations within the same blade model

    Hello everyone once again. Since I’ve been involved in table tennis for a very long time (with shorter and longer breaks, for more than 40 years), I have a question for all of you. Have you noticed how much different blades of the same model can vary? And I don’t mean only small nuances in...
  2. Does glue affect racket performance ? Strange problem…

    Just wanted to share some impressions from last night’s testing session at our club. Using a smaller amount of DHS 15 glue and applying very thin layers (1 on the blade + 1 on the sponge) calmed down the Timo Boll ALC + 2 × MX-P setup quite a lot. The racket now has less vibration, and the ball...

    In the meantime I removed the rubbers from that racket (Timo Boll ALC + two MX-P). I peeled off the DHS glue very easily, almost in one single piece. I even measured the weight of the dried glue “balls”, and was a bit surprised — each one weighed around 4 grams. I’ve never measured glue weight...

    Okay, thanks everyone. Our shipment of Revolution glue should arrive in about 15 days. In the meantime I’ll try thinning DHS 15 a little with distilled water, re-glue the racket, and then share some feedback. Another thing I’ve been thinking about is that the MX-P rubbers may have already lost...

    Thanks for the replies so far. You’re probably right, and maybe I’ve also gotten too used to Revolution since I’ve been using it for years. DHS #15 is almost impossible to apply in a really thin layer because it’s so much thicker. As for drying, I rarely let the glue dry completely on its own —...

    Hi everyone, I've been reading the forum for a long time, but this is my first time posting. I’m still an active player at 58 years old. In our local club, which competes in the third division of our country, I’m more or less the guy who glues rubbers for most teammates and friends. For the...
