  1. Nimbus Sound

    Review by 'Matt Hetherington' on item '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 as offering a spongy impact for...
  2. Omega V Pro

    Review by 'Matt Hetherington' on item '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 great for 3rd ball and low...
  3. Mark V

    Review by 'Matt Hetherington' on item '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 at one point and is good...
  4. Super FX

    Review by 'Matt Hetherington' on item 'Super FX'

    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 mile but for dollar value it's...
  5. Acuda S1 Turbo

    Review by 'Matt Hetherington' on item '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 is fast and for the all out attacking...
  6. Airoc M

    Review by 'Matt Hetherington' on item '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 and has a great safety margin...

  7. Who Needs Equipment When You can Do This?

    Yea I filmed it last night :P

  8. Who Needs Equipment When You can Do This?

    You can use your phone, I'll use my battery ;) haha

  9. Who Needs Equipment When You can Do This?

    Hey guys, I've been away from the spotlight of video making for a while and thought it would be fun to make a new video playing table tennis with my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I managed to get in some dodgy shots and a few forehands with the battery. What's the strangest thing you have ever had...

  10. Equipment Review Centre

    This is really superb, TTD is expanding and growing into a real centre hub of table tennis on the web. To have such a well-planned and simple to use review system at the fingertips of so many experienced and interested users alike, is really brilliant. Great work Dan, I'll be sure to post some...

  11. Waldner Senso Carbon JO Shape

    5 out of 5 rating for Waldner Senso Carbon JO Shape The J.O Senso is a carbon blade with a hollow handle, has great spring feeling and is superb for control spinning and blocking. Really allows the ball to sink into the rubber with it's softer feel. I have been using the J.O blade since 2011...
  12. Waldner Senso Carbon

    Review by 'Matt Hetherington' on item 'Waldner Senso Carbon'

    The J.O Senso is a carbon blade with a hollow handle, has great spring feeling and is superb for control spinning and blocking. Really allows the ball to sink into the rubber with it's softer feel. I have been using the J.O blade since 2011 and have tried changing a couple of times, but always...

  13. Womens World Cup 2014

    Disappointing final. Xiaoxia definitely showed during this competition that she hasn't adjusted well to the plastic ball yet. The slower speed and different feeling and timing required is clearly effecting the women's game a lot. I noticed Li Jiao who usually relies on high pace was really...

  14. How much is your club membership fees

    I play at Auckland Table Tennis Stadium, it's an ITTF Hotspot Centre with 20 tables. I pay $525 for a year which includes a stadium key. That basically means I can play whenever I want and I more or less play every day so it's a pretty damn good deal. (You can also pay half year and discounted...

  15. Need advice for anticipating 2nd ball.

    Ok here we go. First thing you need to work on is your serve and point structuring. Guessing where the serve return is going to go is not going be good enough at a reasonable level of competition. You need to be serving to achieve a highly probably return, so if I want a topspin return then I...

  16. DHS 3 Star Plastic Ball Review (Video)

    I did do a wobble test yes but my filming of it was tragic so I didn't include it. The seamed poly balls seem to be of a reasonable shape, no major distortions. I remember the seamless Palio balls I tried a while back and they were pretty bad. All in all it looks pretty good, it's definitely not...

  17. China Super League (CTTSL) 2014 Finals

    All these changes to the sport nobody is looking at the bigger picture really > . <

  18. China Super League (CTTSL) 2014 Finals

    I don't see any noticeable difference with the half and half ball. The video quality is not good enough to show us anything in detail and there is no way anyone is sitting close enough in the crowd to see anything on the ball. So I don't see how it's going to be good for spectators unless ITTF...

  19. How to become a ITTF coach

    It's not that difficult, you just need organising skills to get the courses sorted or to attend them. There are ITTF coaching courses going on around the world frequently. I did ITTF Level 2 at the end of last year, it's handy to have as a certification but not really all that necessary, it...

  20. China Super League 2014 (CTTSL)
