I wanted to share my experience with Tinarc 5 (37°) in case someone finds it useful. I used it on my FH for a week, including an official match. Since I was searching for a FH rubber, I decided to give this one a try, it had been lying in my drawer for a couple of years. My playing style is...

If you want to try mid pips without investing much money, just to decide if they suit you, you can try Dawei 388C-1. You can find it on AliExpress for around €10 in different thicknesses (1.0mm - 1.8mm).

I was also curious about how this rubber plays as I came across it on Aliexpress. So far the only info I’ve been able to find are two youtube videos

Apologies for recently spamming the forum with various blade topics. I’m trying to gather as much information as possible about different blades to narrow down a few options that might suit my playing style. My plan is to purchase and test them out after the end of the season. There are some...

T Thanks. It’s probably the same handle shape as W81, since they’re from the same series (I guess). I’ll add it to my bucket list, with Xiom Solo and Pro01, for the end of the season.

Thanks. I think I’m going to get one, I hope the shop will be willing to provide one with a lower weight due to my arm injury

How do you find the handle of Xiom Solo? Is it as thin as most Asian produced blades? It’s still available in some stores, and I’m considering buying it.

thanks for the info, that was exactly my concern, I’m worried the handle might feel too thin for my liking

While browsing AliExpress during my daily routine 😊, I came across the LOKI W91 blade. It appears to have a typical Clipper composition but with the addition of black ayous in one of the layers. Aliexpress Does anyone here have experience with this blade? The handle size is a major concern for...

Yesterday I received my Flextra 5 blade (81g), and I must say for a $17 blade it looks quite good. I bought it out of curiosity to test a 5-ply blade, as it has been a long, long time since I last played with one. Next week I plan to test it with Fastarc G-1 or BD 38° on the FH and Aggressor Pro...

I believe the problem is that the rule isn't enforced in youth competitions. It should be enforced more strictly, so players would focus on learning to serve properly while developing their skills. Otherwise, as I've experienced, players often say, I've been using this serve for 10 years, and...

As a player and an umpire with experience officiating at several European Championships, I’d like to share my perspective on illegal serves. In my experience, around 95% of players serve illegally, and most of the time, a good umpire can detect it. When an umpire does call a fault serve, it...

I saw it too. I’m curious how it differs from the darker sponge. Looks like there'll be one more item in my basket on 11.11

I just ordered Stuor Blue Hinoki, on my first laptop, I got both the Choice Day discount and a coupon, but on my second, no coupon was offered. I'm curious how their algorithm works.

There have been some misunderstandings I’d like to clear up. By testing, I mean using the app in actual leagues or tournaments, and not checking it for bugs. This real life usage is the best way for me to evaluate its functionality. Id you have an existing website I’m happy to help integrate the...

Classic antispin rubbers generally don’t generate much spin reversal, especially with 40+ balls. To play effectively against higher rated players, you’ll need to play aggressively, giving your opponent less time to adjust to the ball coming from the anti. There is still some reversal, and if...

I've used this rubber on my FH for about 18 months, black, 47.5. Pros: Good control, spin, and speed (at least for me). Blocking, 3rd ball attacks, and counterattacks were really good for me with this rubber. Cons: Shrinks a lot. Once you put it on the blade, don't remove it until it wears out...

As a passionate table tennis player and a programmer, I’ve been spending my spare time developing a web app for managing table tennis tournaments and leagues. I would greatly appreciate any feedback from those who are interested in testing it out. For those who participate in testing, I’m...

I've seen a lot of positive reviews about Battle 2 Gold. Does anyone here have experience with it?

I’ve seen some complaints about the durability of Battle 3. I know I said I’m fine with changing rubbers more often if the price is right, but people are saying the tackiness wears off quickly. Did you also experience that?
