Well, i got a DHS 301 and two AK47 (red and blue) in the mail yesterday. It's going to be torture because i can't try the setup until late August because the club is closed. However, i have a few first impressions: Blade: I think i will love this blade. It doesn't feel stiff and has "good...

There are several companies in Portugal that sell veneers, however they are used in construction so i don't know if we are able to get them in small quantities. Also, i don't know if we are able to specify the thickness we want. Maybe the only option is to order them from the UK, i have no idea...

I'm gonna try to build blades too, i have some experience building guitars so this should be simpler. I would say that in terms of tools a router is mandatory, so you can cut your templates and your blades with precision. You would also need some kind of saw, chisel, etc, to sculpt the handles...

I agree with this. I thinks his arm his way too stiff and far way from the body. To do a proper drive the OP should have the elbow more tucked in to the body a let the forearm lead the movement. I also agree with yogi_bear that a brushing movement should be used. In this case i would describe...

Today i trained with a lightly boosted H3 on the FH. It felt much more confortable. I was able to generate more speed and spin on top spins but had to adjust the block because they were hitting the bottom of the net. Service was also much better. So i will stick with something similar to H3 on...

I haven't played with these rubbers but i've also been looking into them as an option for the backhand. Altough, at about 25€ they are not that cheap. I found this description on a polish site: "The Presto pads are a further development of the Friendship Battle. The Presto Speed ​​is both much...

I played with 3 blades from that list, the Appelgren, Persson and Waldner, can't comment on the others. Moving from the Appelgren i think the Waldner is a safe bet. The feeling is different but they all will be as the Appelgren is very soft. The Waldner is a solid blade, with very nice control...

Thanks yogi_bear, those seem good suggestions, especially the Fell AX which is not very expensive. However, i decided to take a shot on the H301 and it's already on it's way. Now i just need to decide on the rubbers.

Thanks SFF_lib, sounds like the H301 is what i'm looking for :)

Ok, so flextra is out of the question, i don't like stiff blades. The lkt sound was just the rubber that was in the blade and i didn't have any glue, after 4 years it had dried. So i'm looking for something similar/better than a H3 boosted, without the need to boost (preferably). By the positive...

I will try the H3 to see if i can still play with it. If the battle 2 is similar is a cheaper option and i can stick with it.

The Fextra seems a good option. Is it stiff? I played with a PG7 back then which i didn't like very much because of that. However those rubbers seem slow, at least that's what you said in your review. Guess i will have to take a few chances but there are so many options now it's confusing

Hello! I'm returning to table tennis (and also ttdaily) after a 4 year hiatus. The last time i played the celluloid ball was still used. I did a couple of training sessions with the new ball and found harder to generate speed and spin so i´m looking to upgrade my old bat. I played with waldner...

Because it's not as simple as that, both of those aspects don't depend on just the rubber or top sheet, they depend on the interaction between those two.

I think there are 16 years between the signing of STIGA's Liu Guoliang and Xu Xin.

If you are on a budget you can also use hair spray, works just as well

Most of the people who use this blade have similar styles so i would say yes

I think wsc is a very versatile blade. I use h3 on the forehand and it works well for me. My teammate uses tenergy 05 and it also works very well for him. Like ttmonster said it all comes down to your personal style. I'm always changing blades, looking for something faster, but i always come...

I used H3 commercial, provincial and bs. The BS was by far the best but didn't last too long because of broken pimples. The blade has tons of control and dwell with a nice crisp feel, so if you are going for spin its perfect. The speed is enough if you don't go too much far back from the table...

That is what i use, its great!
