I haven't used it before so can't comment on it as an option. Looking at other reviews it does seem good but I also don't know your levels and what you want to focus on. Without that info or, more preferably, a video of you playing, any suggestion I offer may be not a good one. Having said...

Anyway, isn't cho-ing in table tennis much milder than all the grunting which happens in tennis?? We should be thankful https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/09/10/the-science-of-the-tennis-grunt

Since you're still developing how about going for a Yasaka Sweden Extra? Excellent level of control with adequate speed for many shots? Not a powerful blade but you'll be able to maybe keep the ball on the table for longer. It's also all wood so you don't lose any sense of touch you might do...

Well, I think we all found at least one way to get an edge if any of us ever play fais... ;)

Another REvolution No. 3 user here. Find it works very well with a wide range of sponges and most importantly, doesn't coagulate easily in cold weather. I've tried LIDU water-based glue as well and I like the bond it gives but I find it lower quality due to the relative ease of clumping

That's great news. This is probably my most wanted rubber for now especially since i don't boost rubbers. Plan to glue this on the forehand

Really echo this point about paying more attention to shot construction. I had to switch from my faster Stiga Arctic Wood to a Yasaka Sweden Extra and the slower setup there forced me to work on more placement type shots to fashion an attack instead of going in more offensively.

@yogi - That'll be nice and easy then :)

For my 6 yr old girl I set up a Sanwei M8 with kokutaku blutenkirche 868 training rubbers. Cheap and cheerful

Looking to get a new blade and more or less settled on either the Yinhe M201 or the Yinhe 970XX-KLC . Also sort of considering the Yinhe 970XX-ALC. Anyone know the differences? Got a friend with the 970xx-klc and have had a quick knock already so will try his blade some more. Also picked up a...

I actually get this type of question quite a lot and never advise spending more than £50. My go-to build for those transitioning from prebuilt bats tends to be a Yinhe N11 with either Yinhe galaxy 9000e on both sides or Yinhe Mercury II on both sides. Cheap and cheerful.

I just saw Spinnier's post too - https://twitter.com/spinnier_com/status/1229770201991909377?s=19 Looking forward to May!

Surprised I haven't seen a recommendation for the Tibhar Hybrid K2. Plays like a boosted Neo Hurricane 3. More catapult and more speed so it's easier to use in terms of not needing so much energy compared to the neo.

e Oh no :( that's a terrible thing to happen... and I see a previously lovely Senkoh 1 in the pictures too. I've had a Senkoh 1 for over 10 years before it cracked, and the replacement is still going strong after 10 years though I haven't used it as often in recent years since I started using a...

Great write up! I'm still really looking forward to it's official release since I feel it bridges the gap between tacky Chinese-style rubbers with dead-ish sponges and the modern ESN rubbers with strong catapult effects. Great for someone like me who find ESN rubbers generally too bouncy on the...

FH: 1) Sanwei Target Pro Blue Sponge 2) H3N Provincial Orange Sponge 3) Tibhar Hybrid K2 BH 1) Xiom Vega Pro 2) Tibhar EL-S 3) Tenergy 05

That's really helpful thanks! Was curious enough to want to try but since I didn't want to potentially waste money, I wanted to see what other people's experiences were

I've noticed a couple more online shops offering fully customised table tennis blades, for example Playa Ping Pong on AliExpress: https://playapingpong.aliexpress.com/store/group/DIY-TT-Rackets/319599_506770285.html?spm=a2g0o.store_home.pcShopHead_6227769.4 And Sunnywise (Hong Kong) through...

I suggest using a non-stick pan cleaning sponge or a very gentle grade sandpaper to rub on the surface of your blade. I also suggest using another layer or two and after gluing the rubber, use a roller or a cylinder-shaped item to go over the edges of the rubber.

Don't know I'm afraid. I haven't used the Ultraspin before though I've been tempted to try
