Beautiful as always! You recently made one of the same composition except with Diolen instead of Kevlar; how would you compare them?

Hi PingPongPaddy, I think we probably need to bear in mind that Dan and the guys who run the site are table-tennis fans first and website-experts second. I suspect many of us (ie. users of the site) agree with you that version 2 of the site is a 'work-in-progress' and not the finished product -...

For all the good-natured teasing (😉), 5plyguy's main point is a good one: Combinations matter! Some blade/rubber combos feel 'right' (in a very subjective way that will differ from player to player, and may also differ for the same player as skill/experience improve) and others don't.

Well, perhaps not "just as fast", but certainly fast enough. 🙂 It's also worth noting that the placement of the carbon as either an "inner" or "outer" layer affects more than just how the carbon layer is engaged. All other things being equal (which they hardly ever are), the placement of the...

Perhaps it would be more helpful to our new friend if we simply answered his question! 🙂 Dear "Unregistered Guest" If you're making your first foray into composite blades, and haven't had the opportunity to test some different ones at a club, then I would suggest as follows: Pick an...

Hi All! I know there's a trend towards super-hard rubbers at the moment, but I also know there are a good many players who enjoy the feel of soft/medium rubbers. What soft/medium (let's say 40-45 degrees) rubbers have you used that you would call "high performance" rubbers? I've used Joola...

Along similar lines: Is it possible to remove a product that I have added to the database? I added a blade (Vodak Rebel Carbon OFF) and I can see it's there, but every time I click on it it brings up an error message saying "Invalid Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify...

Dingo Swiss make a blade with Aluminium. There's not much detail, but you'll see it at the bottom-right of this page: http://www.dingyitt.com/index.php/en/blades There are contact details on the site if you want to get in touch with them to find out more.

Beautiful handle - very well done!

Agreed. There are not many blades even at double the price that are as good as the Xiom Offensive S.

Xiom Offensive S or, if you prefer slightly slower, Tibhar Lebesson

I'm not sure if Spruce would be an acceptable alternative for you? If so that opens up a whole bunch of options. One that comes to mind in the ALL+ / OFF- area is the Donic Appelgren World Champion '89. I haven't played with a Spruce blade myself though, so I can't comment on how close it is...

I see from your profile that you use Fastarc G-1 as well. I'd be interested to hear how Super Ventus compares to the G-1 in your experience?

Helpful reviews here: https://www.tt-spin.de/tsp-super-ventus/ And here: https://www.tt-spin.de/tsp-ventus-spin/ Both in German, but if you open them in Chrome the site will translate them for you.

87.5g. And that's with a head size of 157 x 150 mm. Something I forgot to mention in my review is that there isn't a pile of stock ready to send, everything is made to order. That means that you can request little changes according to your preferences. For example, they make four 'standard'...

Review: VODAK Rebel Carbon OFF Available at: www.vodak-dreva.cz The website is in Czech but if you open it using Google Chrome it will automatically translate the site for you. Buying experience: I contacted Vodak via their website to ask for advice and was pleased by the quick and helpful...

Agreed. The Americans have an excellent word for the former: Winningest! Without question Ma Long is the WOAT! Personally, I'll still shout for Waldner as the GOAT though.

But that's part of the fun of any sport! Just like soccer players/fans will debate who was the greatest goalkeeper/left-back/striker/etc of all time, and F1 fans will debate Schumacher/Senna/Fangio/etc, and cyclists will debate Merckx/Hinault/Coppi/Anquetil/Indurain/etc, and so on. If you love...

OK thanks. Then, in my opinion, when Gatien was on form his forehand was the best I've ever seen.

What does MBFHOAT mean?
