The group is tight for 3nd position. I presume we go to sets and then even points difference if the Group position is tied? Have to imagine that France will beat Denmark tomorrow, and they will top the group with 5 wins. Then England should beat Malaysia, but by what margin? Let's be...

I tend to wait for Baal to get his hands on them. He knows the shiz.

I think it varies based on how custom you make them. If you take one of their standard designs and just have some printing done then you can have a lower order volume and cheaper price. I think ours came out to an average of £25 a shirt (smaller sizes are cheaper) and a minimum order of 20...

It's been a while since anything new popped up on the ball list, but we have movement today. A new ball from... DHS - D40+ - Plastic with seam - Made in China How is this different from the older DHS ball? Time will tell.

Stiga are master trolls when you think about it. They call their blades "Infinity" and "Eternity", but their plies delaminate after your first rubber change or if your opponent farts in the wrong direction. Genius stuff really. :p But yeah, looks nice.

We've tried a few over the years. Last time we went to a local supplier called SuperSport (they're in Leek, Staffordshire but can post out to you of course) and we're really happy with the outcome. I can't recommend them enough. http://www.supersport.co.uk/ It was a fairly involved...

Perhaps a slight bit of care is needed though. Eventually, all Adidas rubbers will drop off the LARC, and then by the letter of the law they aren't legal to use. I doubt anyone really cares about this at a low-ish level, but still. Worth considering.

No one can deny how much of an impact Tenergy has had over the years. But it has become less relevant as time has gone on. The price has ballooned massively, other manufacturers have closed the performance gap considerably, and it could be argued that the plastic ball benefits from a different...

:eek: A chopper is hard work if you're not feeling 100%...

Nope, Rasant Grip can be found for around £26-28 if you look hard enough. P7 is hard to find these days now that Adidas (or Greenmaster) have withdrawn from TT. RG is a good rubber but throws lower than P7 and is less lively in the lower gears. So you have to put more effort in to get good...

I've ordered a few pairs of Mizunos from tt-japan. Shipping is expensive, but the base price is good so that isn't so bad. They also get newer models in before most european stores. Fab shoes, great customer service. My last 2 orders took around 10 days to arrive. Remember to ask them to...

P7 - amazing rubber, sadly missed. For a close match in terms of similar ESN components, Donic Baracuda or Xiom Omega IV Asia. Not identical, but similar. For a modern alternative (better topsheet for the plastic ball IMO), Xiom Omega V Asia is the best I've found. I've tried a lot of...

Back in her Jo Parker days, she used to use a Matsushita Pro with T05, 1.7mm both sides. Which is a wonderful throwback to a time of long trousers, smoking jackets, and double inverted classic chopping. However, check out hubby Paul's recent Bribar blog post...

It's just marketing nonsense really. Sanwei are appropriating the vague DHS concept of Commercial/Provincial/National and using it for their own evil means. :D Best to just ignore that and just evaluate the rubber based on its own merits. They are quite different, so it's hard to say which...

I had my first 3 hour session with it last week. I'll paste in my initial feelings from another forum: First thing - my sheet isn't perfect. The sponge has a few pits, and the topsheet has some lumpy bits - not quite bubbles, but close. A determined tournament official would probably...

I'll send you a PM with a link to the myTT contact. Yeah, I'd say that most of the blade suggestions made so far are good, solid choices. A lot of blade selection is very personal though, which is why trying things out is usually the way. Shame that isn't an option. Choosing between all...

Wow - county level and pushing for nationals is a very high standard, even when at a school stage. I didn't get that impression from your initial post at all. You're certainly no beginner so I'm surprised that you can even stand to use a premade! When I mentioned playing it safe, I've avoided...

Best advice is to try as many setups as you can at your local club and try to build a picture up of what types of rubber you like or dislike. If you have a lot of players to watch and speak to, try to pick out those players with styles you feel are similar to your own (even if their level is...

Being skeptical is good! It should be the default position on everything IMO. This could be an elaborate ruse - it's happened before. Have a look at this thread: http://forum.tt-news.de/showthread.php?t=204157 It's a series of promotional images posted by the forum's ADVERTISING user, who...

Because they aren't on the LARC yet, don't expect them to be on the market until Q2/Q3 this year at the earliest. A few sheets of Hybrid K1 have appeared on Asian forums, but nothing else has appeared yet. No idea on Crazy Bull at all, but the name is epic and that goes a long way, eh?
