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

    I definitely faced that issue when I first started assembling table tennis bats. I feel your pain
  2. What are your top annoyances about assembling your own table tennis bats?

    I wanna see if it's worth investing time etc into solving the key annoyances. I know many of these already and wanted to validate my assumptions 😁
  3. What are your top annoyances about assembling your own table tennis bats?

    For number two, get a precision tweezer - does wonders for removing tiny bits without spoiling the glue job
  4. What are your top annoyances about assembling your own table tennis bats?

    I use two things, a light source pointing at the handle (so your eyes don't get tricked by shadows) and I use my pinky fingers to align the rubber to the handle. I start by lightly pressing the edge of the rubber to the edge of the handle then once I'm sure I start pressing down the rubber...
  5. What are your top annoyances about assembling your own table tennis bats?

    I used to have that issue in my early days - part of the things I did to solve it include: - Pressing down for a while (maybe a minute or two) after gluing - Not cutting the rubber right away and also being careful to have the blade slide through the rubber instead of being dry and pulling at...
  6. Tibhar MX-D vs. Stiga DNA Hybrid (or Platinum) M or H?

    Yes - very true - I initially bought it as I'm not immune from EJing (Which is a massive reason why I went into reselling and setting up equipment for others - almost everyone lets me try their setup since I'm the one who did it :LOL: :cool: The other reason is, well, I just enjoy setting up...
  7. Tibhar MX-D vs. Stiga DNA Hybrid (or Platinum) M or H?

    More on topic, the MX-D has quite a bit of kick to it. I have it on my backhand and it's feeling too bouncy for me. When I get the shots in, it's lovely. More often than not though, I'm overshooting in competitive play since I was previously using the H8-80. It's very spinny and I've also tried...
  8. Tibhar MX-D vs. Stiga DNA Hybrid (or Platinum) M or H?

    I've been using it for a couple of weeks now on my forehand to try it out. Was using Tibhar MK before that and the Sanwei Gear Hyper before before that. I'm mainly a blocker and flat hitter - all three rubbers suit me very well without being too bouncy to play with. With the DNA Hybrid M though...
  9. Pleasantly Surprised So Far With Meteor 845 Blue Short Pips

    My 10 year old girl requested for a short pip setup since she likes the feeling of rubbing the pips with her fingers and her fav colour is blue, so I've gotten a cream sponged and an orange sponged one to finish a setup just for her to have some fun. Have a spare Palio expert blade so at least...
  10. Complete video guide: How to cut and glue rubbers on a table tennis bat

    Reckon any with a curved blade would work nicely. I got the Revolution No.3 scissors and I recall that Donic also produces curved edge scissors
  11. Beginner Friendly Hybrid Rubber

    It's semi tacky. OP asked for semi tacky or tacky rubbers with low catapult. The Gear Hyper fits as an option. It's got enough control to be beginner friendly.
  12. Beginner Friendly Hybrid Rubber

    Sanwei Gear Hyper would fit the bill for you beautifully I think. If you want a faster, springier alternative to that then the Tibhar Hybrid MX though I'd think that's less beginner friendly
  13. Best rubber under $5?

    Oh - I haven't. I don't boost rubbers so would need someone else to try that! :)
  14. What is the best ESN Hybrid rubber for FH?

    I'm now a fan of the Tibhar Hybrid MX on the FH. Great spin capabilities and power without too much of the catapult effect. I'll soon try Stiga's DNA Hybrid M Not sure about there ever being a best rubber for anything though! ;)
  15. What is the best ESN Hybrid rubber for FH?

    I still rate the Sanwei Gear Hyper very highly and the Sanwei Target National is also a very good hybrid (that I switched too many years back from Tenergy 25). The Gear Hyper is bouncier than the STN without feeling like you're playing with a trampoline in your hand while the STN is much...
