Hi Yogi_bear, sorry to ask an off topic question but do you have any tips/suggestions on managing the blade weight? Please let me explain, I have added Donic Bluefire m2 on both sides, however, I feel the setup to be quite heavy. Will this feeling subside with practice or should I do something...

Hi, there is a difficulty in reading text due to the dark background. But the pictures are awesome. By the way, yogi_bear, I wanted to thank you since your review of Tibhar Stratus Power Wood has helped in my all wood blade selection. Many thanks to you!

That surely looks nasty. If it is the neck part of your blade which is causing this then you might consider sanding the neck of your blade to make it bit smoother. Also, when doing the pendulum serve try hold the blade (with curled fingers) more towards the edge part that closure to the handle...

Blade: Tibhar Stratus Power Wood (FL Handle) Forehand Rubber: Donic Bluefire M2 Backhand Rubber: Donic Bluefire M2

Buddy, I think that you need to get adjusted to the equipment. This is a challenge which we face when we change and try new setups. I am also facing a similar challenge right now. Some of us don't need much time to adjust whereas, some of us (like me) get disappointed very soon. Remember, each...

I really feel that Maze has a lot of potential and superb ball control. However, I stopped liking him as a player once he started showing frustration during matches. To understand what I am saying checkout his match with Dima during olympics.

Any blade which has a harder topmost ply will offer less dwell time feel. For example, try a blade which has Limba top sheet (ex. Donic Waldner Allplay, Tibhar Stratus Power Wood, Stiga Clipper wood, Stiga Allround Evolution) and the one which has Walnut top sheet (ex. Yasaka Malin Extra...

Hi, please share your playing experiences with the new setup. I am seriously thinking of trying chinese rubbers with boosters. The only concern is that I have never used tacky chinese rubbers in the past and I am not sure how will the results be.

http://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/tt-blade-donic-world-champion-89-waldner-off-tt0354599#.U7_7p1Zvts4 I would like to play with this blade because: 1. This blade looks quite awesome and its a benchmark of Donic quality 2. I am a Donic fan and have been using Donic rubbers and blade for...

Explosive and very impressive, however, did you notice the similarities between what is taught in the video below I think that what Ma Long is doing is an advanced form of this tutorial.

I switched to Donic Bluefire M2 on my forehand after playing almost seven years with Sonex JP Gold and Coppa Series (i.e. Coppa Gold and Coppa Platin) on both sides. I must say that using Donic Bluefire M2 on forehand was nightmare initially. I found it really difficult to adjust and always...

Yes, surely it loads fast. It might take some time to get adjusted to the new layout. But nevertheless, it is fantastic effort. Good job Guys. :)

1. Stiff - Stiff blades are the ones which do not offer much flex. A good example would be 7-ply all wood blades which are stiff. These blades are thicker and heavier in comparison to 5 ply wood blades. Adding carbon layers to the blade (carbon-wood combination) also makes the blade stiff. Such...

Try esn-tt.de. Tensor technology is a patented technology by ESN. I think that it is a central manufacturer of T.T rubbers for different brands like Donic, Tibhar, Stiga, Xiom etc. to name a few. Based on specification produced, different brand names are later attached to the top sheet of the...

Hi There, Here I am back with another request. Firstly, I really don't have sufficient words or gratitude to thank all of you for your valuable time and inputs. Friends, I am struggling to get my timing correct. The most troubled part for me is to get my timing right on my forehand loop...

How does it matters which blade/rubber he uses. What's important is that what he does with it.:p

Thank you very much to all, who have posted on this discussion. I wanted to ask you now, how do you proceed against backspin returns which keep really low, are fast, land very deep and skid on you? Also, what would be difference in technique, if the same return bounces slightly higher, holds up...

Hi, I wanted to discuss with you all the techniques which I have noticed people adopt in their forehand topspin against backspin balls. Please share your views on which technique you use and which one you feel is least stressful and best suited for the offensive game. The purpose of this...

Hi, Here is the rule of thumb, which I followed successfully for these kind of rubbers. After sticking the rubber to the blade do not go ahead with cutting immediately. I let this rest under heavy books for atleast 4-6 hours before cutting the rubber. So it sometimes takes me 1 day or more to...
