  1. Donic Blade/Rubber or a Different Brand?

    I thought I had finally narrowed my new blade purchase down to either the Donic Waldner Senso Carbon V1 or the Donic Epox Power Allround. But after hearing from a few posters that Donic doesn't make many sticky rubbers, I think I may need to head back and take a look at some of the other blades...
  2. Nittaku KVL Defensive blade - can anyone tell me about it?

    Can anyone tell me anything about the Nittaku KVL Defensive blade? It's the blade (with Nittaku Spiral rubber on both sides) I found in my closet when I started playing again a couple weeks ago (after many years away from the game). But I'm having trouble finding out anything about it. Thanks...
  3. Favorite Rubber from Nittaku, Donic, Tibhar, or Yasaka?

    UPDATE...I ASKED FOR ADVICE FROM EACH MANUFACTURER AND HAVE GOTTEN A FEW REPLIES SO FAR. ADMIN, YOU CAN REMOVE THIS POST IF YOU WOULD LIKE. THANK YOU!!! I'm going to purchase a new blade that will be from one of the following brands: Nittaku, Donic, Tibhar, or Yasaka. I know the following...
  4. Pairing Rubbers to Blades...

    I'm currently using the Nittaku KVL Defensive blade with Nittaku Spiral rubber on both sides. I'm thinking of moving towards a more offensive paddle because my 95% defensive game isn't standing up to the 1700+ competition I've been going against since I returned from my 10+ years away from the...
  5. I'm worse, and more ignorant, than I thought!

    It's been 10+ years since I picked up a paddle and I haven't played seriously since my college days, 35 years ago. I went out for the first time about a week ago and after the first 45 minutes of finding "my game", I was playing pretty well. I actually won some singles games against, what I...
  6. Defensive Blade/Rubber Advice Needed...

    I'm coming back from a 10+ year lay off from table tennis. I currently use a Nittaku KVL Defensive blade with Nittaku Spiral rubber and am looking to replace it. Some blades I'm considering are: Yasaka Sweden Classic, Yasaka Sweden Defensive, Tibhar Defense Plus, Tibhar Stratus Power Defense...
  7. Joola, Stiga, Yasaka combo - advice appreciated!

    I'm getting back into table tennis after a 10+ year absence and would like to get an all around paddle combo just to see where my game's at and what I might like/dislike in a 'better' paddle moving forward. Random info about me: prefer shakehand blade/flare handle; smooth rubber; tried to play...
  8. 10+ Years Off - Guidance Appreciated!

    I believe it's been 10+ years (don't really remember for sure) since I actually played table tennis on a regular basis...maybe played twice during the last 10 years. Locally they play twice a week so thought I'd start trying to play again on a consistent basis. I'm not sure how rubbers/blades...
  9. Please tell me about my paddles...

    I used to play a good bit of table tennis in my "early years"...ie: ages 5 to 22 (currently 51 years young). Once I got out of college I didn't play very much until several years ago (5 or 8 or 10 or 15? Who knows!). I think I played for one whole winter :rolleyes: before life got in the way...
