That’s the issue for both Badminton and Table Tennis, the TV angles don’t do it justice, but I think that isn’t the issue, I don’t think there is currently a good angle to Film at !! There are slightly better angles but you probably need some sort of 3D viewing or virtual viewing. Possibly not...

like TT, Badminton is not a ‘spectator‘ sport (in general) ie TT and Badminton fans are usually players rather than the general public.

I have a couple of questions!! 1) table tennis and ping pong. Is table tennis the F1 version, in other words technology biased, equipment performance biased, by this I mean maximising speed and spin?? In general terms maxing out !!! Is Ping Pong, lets say the F2 car version ??? Equipment is...

slow un-boosted tacky rubbers could be an option, I had Aibiss on my old TAMCA 5000 for a while, this was still very fast, I just put Friendship RITC 729 on it and it was slightly more manageable. But, really I think that a slower All wood blade may be a far better option!!!

I bought a Newgy 2055 and a table during 1st lockdown, because I wanted to be able to a least hit some balls. Single spin only. But programmable so you can do different footwork and stroke routines. 1 part broke after 2 months, a spring. Took 3 weeks to get a new one. Overall I'm happy with...

Hi, not so much any version of H3, H3 National blue sponge, I’ve had 2 sheets, boosted one, didn’t the other. But as far as tackiness is concerned neither had very high tackiness unlike the std sheet of H3 I have, which was very tacky, and 6 months later is still tackier than the Nat version!!

Yeah, well anyone that’s classed as being ‘in their prime’ anywhere between the ages of 10 and 28ish ( before mental and physical fitness has started to drop) should be given a suitable handicap, such as playing with shoe laces tied together, blindfolded, using a racket that is the size of a...

Hi, I used the set up this evening, on the TAMCA blade the rubbers were effortlessly fast !! Good bounce, but not a real catapult feeling. I even found it pretty easy to chop against topspin, more controlled than the donic Allround Dotec blade with R48 (bh) and RakzaZ (fh) on it!!! ( That I...

Better shot of pimple structure, maybe!!

Red sheet has flattened out and been glued on !!! hopefully the pimple structure can be seen on the Red rubber, can just be made out on the Black sheet. couple of points to note - a) slightly less tackiness b) a) has resulted in a change in bounce test, ball now bounces more due to loss of...

Hi, If you're already using Chinese manufacturer's blades, with Chinese rubbers on FH, then the only cost saving to be made is with the BH rubbers, As Attitude has said. DHS are now making 37 degree sponge variations of H3 / H3 Neo etc which they market as 'Backhand' rubbers. I've got the...

yeah, definitely passive aggressive!!!, and more sticking out your bat and hoping than you could shake at a cow!!;);)

curling is now going down. Size remains the same 167 x 170mm i’ll see if it flattens some more by Tuesday evening, likely to be glued on Wednesday !! interesting that even though the doming/curling has reduced the sheet size has remained the same as at max doming. So has the booster soaked...

Possibly age has something to do with it as well !!!! ok a 30 yr lay off is excessive! But I used to play with a TAMCA 5000 blade in the 80’s, Sriver and Tackiness, old small ball. Didn’t even think about it when I was young!!! I pick up that blade and think ‘what the ****’ how did I ever play...

So thinking on things a little more, it’s still awkward !!!!!! Passive play, I would consider as - not trying to change the tactics, allowing your opponent to set the pace, style of play etc in effect it’s a choice of what you are going to do, which isn’t much !!! opponent plays top spin, you...

Sweet as MOG!!!

Red sheet still curling !!! Surprise surprise, no change in size.

bounce test. with protection sheet over, the bounce is similar to ESN type rubber/sponge combo. Without protection sheet, the typically Chinese tacky top sheet kicks in and makes the rubber seem dead.

that’s what this thread is really about!!, a lot of people say let the doming go down before gluing, which I think reduces the tensioning effect on the top sheet, specially if the sheet size returns to pre boosted size. and it just takes too long!!!! Glue it when domed !!!
