  1. What are your top annoyances about assembling your own table tennis bats?

    Definitely reglueing the rubber when it's already cut. Aligning everything is pain, and even more painful if I end up not perfectly aligning it and it ends up being bit more to the side, resulting in edge of rubber sticking out on one side and not covering other side completely. I once ended up...
  2. What song are u listening to now?

    Some nice 90s underground HipHop Godfather Don - Status (1996)
  3. Critique my game [Shakehand FH SP BH Inv]

    Yes! The flat hitting, I noticed that too, just was hesitant to mention as I lack experience
  4. Critique my game [Shakehand FH SP BH Inv]

    Hello! I am quite new to the sport, no expert, however, first things I notice which poke my eye: 1) Your profile is incredibly high, lean forward a little bit, bend your knees, get on the balls of your feet. Your speed and consistency will increase 2) Cannot spot any weight transfer at all...
  5. Old and new Hurricane 3 experience

    Almost every player wipes their topsheets between points. I personally use the DHS Hurricane 3 Neo and the environment gets humid here, so yes, you may say that "water condenses on the rubber", which reduces the tack significantly. Even though every rubber can get affected by a humid...

    Could also be because of humidity forcing rubbers to "sweat"... So, they could be just drying the topsheet

    I see! I appreciate the response, definitely gonna keep it in mind
  8. Assistance/advice with equipment upgrade (1st custom racket) (Update!)

    Thank you once again, some great additional information! I've received my forehand sheet yesterday, I checked and the sponge seems to be pre-glued or whatnot (it's quite sticky), for the DHS Hurricane 3 Neo that is... Just need to remove the protective firm that's covering it. Would that still...

    Thank you very much for your reply! Sounds good. I've watched this video a while ago, however, I thought the glueing process might differ for the Chinese rubbers, so I've decided to confirm, just in case... 🙂
  10. Assistance/advice with equipment upgrade (1st custom racket) (Update!)

    I see! Thank you very much for the input. I guess I'll make sure to check the condition of the sponge after unboxing the rubber - to see if it isn't sticky already.
  11. Assistance/advice with equipment upgrade (1st custom racket) (Update!)

    Hello, everyone! I am here with an update. I've decided to go with: Butterfly Petr Korbel DHS Hurricane 3 Neo (2.1mm on forehand H38 & 2.1mm on backhand H37) Revolution Nr.3 water-based glue After thorough consideration and bit of hesitation, I ended up going for Chinese rubbers and perhaps...
  12. Hurricane 3 neo vs Hurricane 8

    The shoulder pain most definitely comes from getting used to European rubbers, as everything is pretty much done with the arm. Chinese rubbers, due to tackiness, less speed, require more thorough technique using the bodyweight. You must put your body behind the shots using legs and back for...

    I see! Thank you very much for your input 🙏🏼
  14. Assistance/advice with equipment upgrade (1st custom racket) (Update!)

    Ah, very well then. Petr Korbel with H37 2.1 mm on backhand & H38 2.1 mm for forehand. I'll definitely consider this as well. Thank you very much 🙏🏼

    I see! Thank you very much for the tips, I truly appreciate it
  16. Assistance/advice with equipment upgrade (1st custom racket) (Update!)

    Thank you for your input! Yeah, I've heard of Xiom Offensive S, many say it's similar to Petr Korbel, just tad bit faster. I've certainly read great things about this setup, I definitely have it under consideration as well :)
  17. Assistance/advice with equipment upgrade (1st custom racket) (Update!)

    I am looking up DHS Hurricane 3 Neo on Aliexpress and somehow it's super hard to find 2.15 mm H38 and 2.1 mm H37. It's so weird how you can find any other hardness and thickness except these. There are few though😂...

    Oh, well, maybe not. Maybe I was just unlucky 😅...
