  1. 3 star 40+

    Review by 'Matt Hetherington' on item '3 star 40+'

    A lot of people have been saying these are the best plastic balls but I heartily disagree. They are prone to break anywhere on the ball surface and don't appear to be any more durable than the better seamless balls. They also have an inconsistent bounce and are not always round. I tried these on...
  2. Who Needs Equipment When You can Do This?

    That is an interesting idea, I could do it with a digital camera too haha. I have a video on my channel from a few years ago of my friend and William Henzell playing wearing headmounted cameras and it was quite dizzying to watch.
  3. How Many Styles Can You Play?

    That pretty muchly covers everything I think! :)
  4. Vladimir Samsonov Wins Qatar Open 2015 !!!!!!!!!

    Samsonov is so stable you can never really tell what he is capable of in any given event. He's getting to the point where if some players really raise their game then they can win against him but there is no doubt that he is still a top international player and his game is so sustainable he...

    Can you make me a giant concrete paddle? I'll give it a go in my next vid :P
  8. How Many Styles Can You Play?

    No of course not, it is not necessary for becoming a coach, but it is very useful. Sometimes students can be weak in particular areas especially against different styles if they don't have any exposure to them. I like to chop to the kids at the club and sometimes play matches against them...
  9. How Many Styles Can You Play?

    Hey guys. As some of you may know I'm a table tennis coach and so I feel it is important to learn to play all different styles in order to better teach my students. As a result I am fairly competent in a range of styles. I'm around 2000 level USATT playing penhold (with inverted and short pips)...
  10. 3 star 40+

    4 out of 5 rating for 3 star 40+ These balls are in the middle range of the pack, they are ok. We use them to train and they are more durable than some of the other balls like the Joola and the Double Fish. They are difficult to spin, the speed is okish and the bounce is not too bad. They are a...
  11. Super-p 40+

    2 out of 5 rating for SUPER-P 40+ Not much of a fan of the Joola Super P ball. They break frequently and feel a little slower than some of the other plastic balls. Let's be honest, all of the plastic balls are fairly terrible at the moment so it's hard to give a good review. Joola are probably...
  12. Nimbus Sound

    5 out of 5 rating for Nimbus Sound I used this rubber on and off for 2-3 years during University and it was my go-to forehand rubber. I loved the soft feel of the sponge, the ball really sinks in and offers good feeling. It is perfect for producing a high arc and safety on opening balls as well...
  13. Omega V Pro

    5 out of 5 rating for Omega V Pro This rubber is absolutely great with the new ball. It has a good balance of porous but firm sponge with a tacky topsheet. This allows for a high level of power and spin combined with accuracy and a relatively good level of control to keep it all together. It is...
  14. Mark V

    4 out of 5 rating for Mark V This is probably the most stable attacking rubber out and was incredibly popular for many years in the sport. It has a strong mix of spin, speed and control all carefully mingled together. This was dubbed as the perfect rubber for developing and intermediate players...
  15. FX Super

    3 out of 5 rating for FX Super This is a fantastic rubber for it's incredibly low price. It is a typical cheap Chinese rubber, tacky surface for producing decent amount of spin. Firm sponge gives a crisp impact on the ball and the control ratio is OK. It's not the best rubber out there by a...
  16. Acuda S1 Turbo

    5 out of 5 rating for Acuda S1 Turbo This is a fantastic rubber and was one of the leading tensor rubbers. Noted as one of the best alternatives for attacking to Tenergy series and at a lower price. This rubber produces high speed and high accuracy shots with a reasonable amount of control. It...
  17. Airoc M

    4 out of 5 rating for Airoc M Stiga Airoc M is a great rubber for producing spin with the new ball and maintaining superb control. While it lacks power it is well suited as a backhand rubber or a forehand rubber for a control spinning and more consistent attacking player. It produces a good arc...

    Well the Galaxy Note 3 is pretty good. I should write a review for it on here hahaha
