Hi Sumitkpaul, It will pair very well (but honestly, very rarely will a rubber pair badly with a blade....) What's your level though? It will be fast!

Isn't this the same as every Junior ever? Looks fantastic against the "traditional" top spin type play, but then looks AWFUL against an unconventional player (pips, chops, pushes etc). The only way for your friends to get better here is to train and put that training into those matches. The...

But are you saying the method contributed to the strings feeling different, or it was just one of those things? My understanding (feel free to correct me!) is that with re stringing a racket, it’s about the strings and tension. In theory, any competent stringer should do it the same. If it...

But with strings, it’s black and white. You’ve got preferred tension, string type etc - there is no chance that someone does something slightly different. With glueing a bat, if I told 10 people to glue up my bat with 2 layers of glue, all 10 people would do it slightly differently. China...

As Just a guess, but stringing a racket needs a much bigger (not portable) machine. Table tennis bats can be made up very easily, with little equipment. Also…. Typically, stringed racket sports will have more money in the sport, so you end up with dedicated jobs like stringing a racket...

Appreciate it! Have a follow back for your troubles….. 😊

Amazing! Was that at Gloucester? I think Matt was there as well. Benji is our least experienced player, but he'll be flying after a few years at the top level!

Much appreciated! We'll make sure to follow back any budding supporter!

Hello TTD! This is a shameless plug, so if you aren't feeling helpful, please happily skip this thread! 😁 As some of you may remember, I set up a new team playing in the Northampton Premier League last year (Bugbrooke Badgers). We had our own team kit made up, and this year, I've got a custom...

Hard to tell. Looks like Bluestar weighs 50g cut (assume it's on a standard 157 X 150 but it doesn't say). Which puts it about 1 to 2g heavier than Dignics 05 and the same weight as Dignics 09C.... But there's some guesswork there.

As the title suggests...... Does anyone have the cut weight of each of these rubbers on a blade measuring 158 X 152? It saves me taking mine off to weigh them! 😅

Couple of questions on this Sergio. 1. How accurately can you make the weight/balance? 2. What's your margin for error? If a customer says, "I want it 90g", at what point do you accept it's too heavy or light? + or - 5g?

Sponsorship and familiarity (on the whole). It's a vicious circle.... Junior player wants to play like hero..... So they use the same equipment (for blade, let's take the Viscaria). Junior player turns pro, and gets a sponsorship. Option A - Sponsored by brand they use (Butterfly) and...

During the season (September to April) I’ll use it twice per week, playing 4 matches each night (3 singles and a doubles), with an average match length of…. 20 mins? So that’s 160 minutes per week for matches, and then I’ll have some tournaments at the weekend as well. I change my rubbers...

You are preaching to the choir on the video point. For as long as TTD has existed (slight exaggeration), I've advocated that people should post a short video of their level (just basic stuff) because it really helps add context. It's not to say a newbies opinion becomes worthless, far from it...

OK, I'll admit that I haven't read every post in great detail. But I'm a little lost with this back and forth. Carl is saying he believes it makes a difference to a very small percentage of players with a sensitive feel (be that professionals who have played for years, or amateurs who simply...

Is there any video of your level of play available? D09C will last many months (probably even a year or longer for people playing twice per week or less). My D09C sheet looks awful, but it still spins, grips and does everything I need it to (it's been on for 6 months now). D09C is different...

Hey Diego, nice video! Can I ask a few questions? Are you actually contracted by Sanwei for a length of time (1 year, 2 years etc)? Or is it a "rolling" contract they could stop at any time? Do you get paid for it, or is your benefit the free kit? You talk about "what you can offer to the...

Wow, this thread escalated beautifully! 😂 Just for a second, let’s bring it back to the original post…. We are talking about an extremely uncompetitive club DOUBLES match. That’s about the least important/competitive matchup you can get, only just beating a back yard outdoor match at a family...

Perhaps the initial "setting of the scene" was wrong (or misleading), but in my 20+ years of playing, I've never been at a "club night" where the competitive nature is to the point where you can't have a laugh. Maybe us Brits are just overly sarcastic, but if you don't say "Ohhhhh...
