Here is a link to TTE's updated plastic ball statement: http://tabletennisengland.co.uk/news/plastic-balls-updated-statement-from-table-tennis-england/ It looks like they are pushing ahead with a date of 1st July 2015 to enforce the adoption of the plastic ball for all "Competitive" TT in...

JP01 is close to T64. Maybe the throw is a bit higher, maybe it's a bit slower. I found JP01 Turbo to be slightly lower throw and a weeny bit faster than JP01, so I'd say that's the closest overall.

If Big Dipper and Moon Speed are as high quality as the original Moon and Moon Pro, these are going to be very popular. You've got a scoop Tony!

Stefan at tt-manufaktur is great. He speaks excellent english, has lots of options, can customise handles, and has access to composite materials. http://www.tischtennis-manufaktur.de/

Hi mate! Way back, I used hard, tacky FH rubbers. G666, G888, H3, etc. Relatively recently I changed (when Tenergy arrived, if I'm honest). After the BTY price hike, I must have tried every tensor going for my FH. I liked Rakza 7 Soft, but M3 was a real eye-opener to me at the time because...

The Under 21 event is testing the "No Let" rule too. A lot going on here.

Thanks both for the topsheet news. Now I am VERY EXCITED AND WILL USE CAPITAL LETTERS TO CONVEY THAT FEELING.

When you say "tacky", do you mean like H3 tacky? Or grippy, like most eurojap rubbers? I'm keen to know if the topsheet is grippier than Calibra Tour...

The sponges are clearly marked for hardness. Across the range, Maxx is harder sponged than Rhyzm yes, but I don't see how that's really relevant. You could just as easily say Rhyzm 425 is harder than Maxx 400. It just states the obvious. As for the topsheets - I just don't agree, but fair...

I have to respectfully disagree with the above. Joola are a solid, mid-price brand. Their tensor rubbers are equal to Xiom's or Yasaka's (after all, they are made in the same factory). Based on your needs (counters, blocking, etc) I'd recommend the Rhyzm range over Maxx. Maxx is similar to...

This year is going to be a real pain for loads of players. Our local league haven't made any announcement yet, so I have to imagine that they'll stick with cell for now. Our best players do the GP circuit, which will be poly, and the British League, which won't. This season will be a hot mess.

The manufacturers will market for the new ball. Just ignore them. They're full of it at the best of times, and this is not the best of times. It's early days, but I'm not sure about soft sponges being the answer. I use a lot of soft sponges on my BH, and I found it hard(er) to generate...

I love this idea from the perspective of the viewer. Will look great in slow-mo replays. It will have an effect on the usefulness of serves though. It will be really easy to spot float and low-spin serves...

Omega V Pro. The best tensor I've ever tried. Close to T05 for topsheet grip, better short game, better hitting, cheaper.

Hurricane is not a Tenergy substitute. A million miles away, totally different. Better in some aspects IMO, but you seem to be looking for a cheaper alternative, and as close to Tenergy as possible. I don't think anything is exactly like it, but recent tensors are really, really close in...

The ITTF specified that the Poly ball MUST be a minimum of 40mm. I think this was in one of the Technical Bulletins they put out. So it has in practical terms resulted in a change of size, even though it didn't need a definite rule change (as Tony mentioned - it still falls within the original...

Old Viscarias (Black Tag, or just without a serial number) used to be 90g+ = it was very rare to find one below 90g. The newer batches seen recently seem to be lighter, coming in at around 85g +- 3g, approx. You've got a lighter one, but not unusual really.

David all the way - he had me at "ello".
