  1. Price increase at TT11?

    There's definitely been an increase tt11's prices, but not 20-25%. I would say about 10%. However what is decreasing is the level of service: For some time now, they've been sending out their orders with TNT instead of DHL Express to save money, even in the cases where the amount of order...
  2. Manufacturing problem in Xiom blades?

    Let's not turn the discussion a "Butterfly vs other brands" debate. I was never a Bfly fan boy after all. All I am stating is my personal experience without doubting anyone other's.
  3. Manufacturing problem in Xiom blades?

    I tend to agree, I've never had any problems ever with Butterfly blades. In fact during the time that TMXi was being repaired, I borrowed a Visacria from a clubmate. Wow, man I'm telling you it's the best blade I've EVER played! I am THRILLED.!!! While it is a notorious blade, I've never...

    Well, I see I'm not the only one with the same problem with Xiom blades... Too bad that they haven't figured it out, after all this time...
  5. Manufacturing problem in Xiom blades?

    I had a Xiom TMXi blade which I have been using for 5-6 months, when suddenly the handle started to wobble and felt like it will come off. I gave the blade to a friend of mine who is a carpenter and repaired it by regluing it. I sold this repaired blade and bought another TMXi, a bit lighter...
  6. Repainting a table tennis table

    In youtube videos about repainting, some use rollers while others use airbrush or spray-cans. I find airbrush more comfortable to work with. But the main problem is this: What type of paint i should use? I asked in a local hardware store and they don't have a clue.... Maybe I'll check with a...
  7. Repainting a table tennis table

    I only found this about the table in ITTF Handbook, which is not very helpful at all
  8. Repainting a table tennis table

    Απο Αθήνα, όχι απο Κρήτη. Yes, I know that I cannot achieve factory quality paint, but at least using airspray and not roller or brush, the outcome will be much better than it is now. The tables are really worn out and in badly need of a repair. A repairman has given me a quote of 200€ per table...
  9. Repainting a table tennis table

    In the club that I play we have two old Stiga tables that need repainting. I am doing some research on the subject and I need help if anyone has knowledge on the subject or has done such a project. Questions: 1. What kind of paint should i use? By googling I found out that the proposed paint is...
  10. Tacky rubber similar to G1

    Having played with Rakza Z for a few sessions and playing with G-1 almost 2 years, I totally agree with you. Rakza Z is significantly slower than G-1 and requires bigger strokes and body mechanics in order to produce spin and speed. It's very good for receives and short game but blocks and...
  11. Anybody else's rubber struggling with the humidity?

    A worn out rubber doesn't produce the "slippery" effect that you describe in your first post. It's just won't produce as much spin as a brand new one. I really doubt that it's even worn out after only 5 weeks, unless you are a real pro. It's the humidity believe me. All self-respecting ping...

  13. ? ? BTY Viscaria price increased massively

    Indeed, the statement that "players move faster around the court, because we've lightened their wallets" seems excessive....🤣
  14. Anybody else's rubber struggling with the humidity?

    It's a well known fact that you cant really play table tennis, when humidity levels are high. The ball is "behaving" differently in every stroke, especially top spins. The only solution is to install dehumidifiers. Buy a cheap hygrometer to check the humidity levels first. If the humidity is...
