  1. Need Help for Blade Selection

    Yinhe makes blades with headsize between 158mm to 160mm tall, like DHS blades. Both the Tibhar Stratus Powerwood and the Butterfly Petr Korbel have 158mm talk headsizes do they may be in line with what you are looking for, they are a bit more flexible than the N-11 but I felt they have better...
  2. Need Help for Blade Selection

    Try Yinhe 896 or W6. They have the same headsize as the N-11 but while the N-11 is much thicker and stiffer, 896 and W6 are both flexible. The 896 is softer and the W6 is harder. It's recommended that you seal both these blades with a polyurethane wood sealer, a spray-on wipe-off or liquid...

    I know a guy who uses a chalk-like powder like that which rock climbers use to control hand sweat.
  4. Where are all the old forum members

    I can only hope that my own perceived decrease in forum usage compared to 5, 10 years ago means more people are out there being active in their communities instead of chumming around on the interwebs. Lord knows I have spent more time on forums than I have at the table in the past but I feel...
  5. Blade Replacement - Carbon or All Wood ?

    The main difference between OffS and SPW is the handle size. SPW has a much thicker, bulkier handle, whereas the OffS has a regular width but a thinner thickness.

    'Respectfully,' neither you nor Lodro have contributed anything useful to this thread, and to any normal person it would appear as if Lodro came out with the disrespect first with his statement. Lodros statement can apply to theirself as well, as he appears not to have any knowledge on the...
  7. is baby oil a effective booster?

    Only thing I found baby oil good for is softening the sponge. You can dome a rubber pretty decently but there is little boost effect.
  8. advice on rubber glue

    Stick with regular table tennis glue. Or if you can find it, copydex/tearmender are basically regular table tennis glue. Tearmender is a bit thicker though so spreading it takes a bit more skill. Another option would be to use rubber cement as you can find it basically anywhere (do not use...

    http://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/dhs-hurricane-king-ii-655 My blade of choice is the DHS Hurricane King II/655 with a straight handle. I want a quality blade that has an oversized head (160X150), a Koto/Spruce construction and a straight handle. DHS makes a lot of Koto/Spruce blades with...
  10. What is the best racket for a game in rotation (spin) ?

    A thin, hard, flexible blade is the best for creating spin with hard rubbers, and a thick, soft, stiff blade is the best for creating spin with soft rubbers.

  12. Good blade for learning shots

    For learning, I would suggest an allround speed all-wood blade such as the STIGA Allround Classic or the DONIC Appelgren Allplay. For developing, anything is fine, as long as you stick with it no matter what.
