Contrary to what most people recommend to beginners i made a different calculation for myself. The most recommended rubbers for beginners are classic rubbers that have next to no catapult effect and pretty low spin capability. That might be nice to train with, but if you start playing against...

The less flex of outer carbon blades make your block and the angle used more stable i guess. Do you block with forehand and backhand the same ? If you loop mainly with forehand and block mainly with backhand it would be worth to have a look at those xiom icecream blades that do have different...

If you are already coming from an carbon blade, the HAL could indeed give you what want, if reviews are to be trusted. That would probably only be a marginal change though, since there is a pretty big chasm between the average carbon blade and the full wood blades I gotta preface that i am only...

who told you that it would be a good option for you specifically ? How long are you playing for and at what level ? They blade may be decent and controllable if you compare it with other carbon blades, but if we would simply look at your requirements beeing good control, good feedback and...

You can of course buy table tennis shoes and wear them on other occasions but i think most people would not do it. The good properties of the grippy rubber sole of the table tennis shoes will simply get destroyed if you slide over concrete with it or do any kind of sports outside. If you dont...

I do have played with the Yasaka Sweden Extra, but not with the Vega Europe (but rather the Omega 7 Europe). I do mirror the recommendation to probably switch rubbers first and then see if a new blade is really needed if you are in continuous competitions where you do not have the time to adjust...

Hi, For regular Indoor tables i would not go below 18mm in table width. Most proper ones got 22mm and above. It does affect how the ball bounces. Only way I can imagine an outdoor table being different is the material of the surface you're playing on. Probably not that much wood and more...

i dont want to be rude, but what did you expect. You post a 08/15 setup and expect strangers who have never seen you play tell you if it is a good one for you ? Feel free to post a video of you playing with it in a match and i am sure you will be helped

Being from germany i can see that you got exactly the "opinion" that the yellow press wanted you to form. If you read up more closely on Dima's grandma you would learn that Dima actually got her transfered to germany in april already and recently she fell down (being very safe in germany...

If you want an upgrade to the YSE you might want to try the Nittaku Violin or even Violin inner carbon. Allegedly it feels similar to the YSE just faster and even better control. They are available with larger handles as well. Edit: Sry, i totally disregarded your budget. Gesendet von meinem...

I am currently not looking forward to throw another 100 bucks for the rubbers at the "problem", but of course making all rubbers the same would be the best way to compare. In the "help choosing a robot" thread i saw a video of somebody letting a robot hit the rubber several times. I will do...

Ok, i got you in the wood vs carbon topic and of course it does feel different. I just can not feel it enough that I would say that I like one feeling over the other. So would you say the feeling is more impacted by the bare bat weight than the total weight of bat+rubbers? If both would be full...

Yes, that can very well be true. I of course also note how many reviews a specific blade or rubber has and if more than 80 people come to a conclusion about the control being a 9.5 or whatever, who am i to challenge this ? All i can say is that 80 people involved enough in table tennis to...

The rubbers may be different, yes and that is something that i will align soon (using a 1.8mm G-1 on the all wood violin that will replace the T 05 FX). In terms of weight both are the same though. Both blades with rubbers end up at pretty much exactly 180g. My prediction is that the wood Violin...

I definitely would not challenge that. Of course all wood blades should be good enough for next to everybody. There are so many different types of woods and ways to process wood to make it even harder that you probably can get a great variety of properties out of a blade consisting of different...

Thank you. I am enjoying it very much. Funny how old one needs to become to find new things that one enjoys. I do share your sentiment about about carbon blades. I was mainly checking reviews on many sites (revspin etc) and saw that the Violin Inner Carbon was rated higher in control than the...

That is the main fallacy of the video. Saying "99% of Beginners do it wrong" while showing a technique that required pretty advanced spin, power and technique is a oxymoron. That is like saying "99% of beginner soccer players do it wrong" and a video showing that you should do a bicycle kick...

I own the Butterfly Amicus Expert robot and i can assure you that it will be plenty fast enough for you. You can change the speed up to 120 balls per minute, which makes it 2 balls per second. You will not be able to return those anyways and yes, you can program it to throw the first ball short...

Hi guys, as a very old table tennis beginner (>40 yo) i found it quite easy to learn the first habbit in table tennis that is being an EJ. Now i do have a fair share of blades that i already tested, but right now there is only the decision for me to decide to play one of two Nittaku blades. One...

i failed to find it when searching the play store as well, so i went for Stupa Analytics. Seems to have similar functionality, but i did not dive into it yet and i am only recording few matches, but i do record my training pretty often to see what needs to be changed still (stance and timing...
