Mine arrived this morning. It must be painful for TeesSport to send things out to customers for free. Free! The indignity of it! As others have mentioned, they look cheap to the eye. The plastic looks a little worn and scuffed when new from the box. They feel pretty hard and are quite...

I've done a few in recent years. Bands 5-6 are really random. Because anyone can enter them, you can end up playing any level. I've actually found band 5 to be easier on occasion because I've had the eventual winner of band 6 in my group. Luck of the draw. I did beat the seed in my group last...

Was that for hitting the table with his bat? Harsh. Very tight match too.

LOL. Excavators. Excavators everywhere!

Me too. Well, it's not for me (Tenergy - pah!), but it's genuine and will make a friend of mine very happy.

Same here.

More plastic ball news today. Joola have gone for a seamless option - from the ITTF's ball list: Joola Flash *** - Plastic Seamless - Made in China. Also, I'm sure many members will have received an email from their regional Butterfly agents along these lines: So BTY will have TWO seamed...

Mega. Don't forget - it will need some breaking in! Don't judge it too much on the first 1-2 hours.

I'd probably give it to the Avenger Carbon - slightly harder and faster. I've only tried someone else's Infinity for a brief hit though - not a Stiga fan.

First up, H3-50 isn't a bad rubber when unboosted. It's slow because of the tack, but does speed up a bit once it's broken in. It feels more flexible than regular H3 Neo, but less powerful. It needs a fast blade (your Force Pro is good) and active technique, but works well with the new ball...

Yup, me too. Consistent bounce is the most important thing to me, and both seamless and NP+ have this. I prefer NP+ because it needs the least adjustment from me, and the ball feel is hard and direct, but these are minor personal things. I will say that the high bounce of the seamless ball...

For those who like to keep track of the plastic ball zoo, some new bits and pieces have arrived on the ITTF's approval list. ChenVul Marura - 40+ Seamed - Made in China Tibhar 40+ SL - 40+ Seamless - Made in China Xiom Pro Select - 40+ Seamed - Made in China So Tibhar and Xiom will be selling...

I think you could well be right. It's hard to say without access to someone on the inside, and there are at least 3 different production methods being used with plastic right now - Chinese seamed (imagine that DHS and DF are pretty much the same), Chinese Seamless, Japanese Seamed - so they...

This is an unusual time in the sport - rather than a constant demand month-after-month of an established product from an existing production line, we have a glut of players/clubs replacing their ball stocks at the same time, in bulk if possible. And it's a new product, using new materials, and...

The NP+ is still available at ttnpp. I've had 4 boxes arrive this week. As to why they are in short supply - they're the best ball IMO. I guess that they just can't keep up with demand.

I finally got hold of a sheet of Aeolus, black, 45 degrees. The sponge has large pores and there is a strong smell of tuner. This is very reminiscent of Bluefire M2 or Joola Maxx 450. But the topsheet is harder and stiffer than those two, while being hugely grippy like the more recent ESN...

LOL - yes, perfect. I would have added more explosions and sound effects, but the words are spot on.

Love em! Arirang is such a brilliant blade. I have lots of fun memories of Oscar too - an absolute beast.

Shout it from the rooftops! People need to speak up within their own local leagues. If enough leagues shun the seamed ball, maybe TTE will listen and try to move away from it too. Unlikely, but you never know.
