  1. Looking for help choosing new blade in off- region

    You could just buy a solid ALL blade and the club along with equipment can take you to a much higher lvl in which you will know much clearer what you desire, want and need. I would personally stay away from Tenergy too but if it's what you're used to and will play regularly when joining a club...
  2. Looking for help choosing new blade in off- region

    Yes thats the one but I retract my initial recommendations. I would say Stick with your blade and change rubbers or if you really want an upgrade go for the Stiga Offensive Classic or perhaps Korbel. I would wait to change blade until you join a club and really get a chance to see where you're at.
  3. Looking for help choosing new blade in off- region

    Yes I would agree with you there. Actually if thats the rating you put them at then I wouldn't even change blade. Better to stick to Classic ALL blades with more forgiving rubbers. Would even dare to recommend Mark V lol. But your Vega Intro is also a good one. Tenergy is a terrible choice imo...
  4. Looking for help choosing new blade in off- region

    He said he played for 3-4 years and then been playing more than a year now. Also the way he words his post I felt like he isn't new and can play TT to a decent club standard. Could be wrong but either way thats where I based it on. The blades I recommended are hardly too fast compared to his...
  5. Looking for help choosing new blade in off- region

    The Primorac and Korbel good options. I personally recommend the normal Stiga Clipper, handle is very nice and a bit thicker than usual. The stiga Offensive classic also good option. You could also perhaps look into the Joola Emotion. All of these are nice upgrades
  6. Footwear/Blister Issues

    So the Blue Tibhar ones are cheap I got from bribartt clearance costing only £25. The ones on the right are Yonex and more than twice the price which I used years ago when I played. Both fit well. I have tried both thin and thicker socks with the Tibhar with no difference. I haven't tried using...
  7. Footwear/Blister Issues

    Ok so I am just wondering really what the benefits are to spending a fair amount on table tennis shoes are. I have a cheap Tibhar pair and I keep getting blisters/hard skin at the bottom inside on my big toes as well as blisters on the outside of small toes. I tried to wear regular footwear...
  8. Been Playing for a Year or Two and Looking to Upgrade My Bat But Need Advice

    I would personally stick to same rubber (FH at least), I have tried all the NEO's except TG2 and the TG3 NEO is the most forgiving in the top spin game while everything else is so slight at a lower lvl like ours its hardly noticed. For blade I would say to go faster and try the Stiga Clipper as...
  9. My vlog and quick review of FL2, Dtecs and 388D

    If anyone is interested. I will post updates and hopefully videos of my TT progress and few training/matches if possible
  10. Sharing my first experiences as Def-Attack

    I would just like to share my experiences as I am super pumped to be finally playing the style I have the most fun with (playing and watching). I hope I can hype others up too So, I had the opportunity to try these 3 setups for 3 hours in training, practise and matches with a few solid players...
  11. Officially joined the dark side

    I found these long pips pretty nice compared to C8 and another one I tried briefly on other peoples bats. The 388D OX were good for me but again as we all know this was just practise through drills and also multiball and very different in match play. This weekend will be almost all match play...
  12. Officially joined the dark side

    haha thanks. Nah I won't be Ejing (at least not too much lol). I will like the Dtecs I think as I have read a lot about them, only asking about the PR1 because also read a lot about them. Those 2 blades are the only ones I will consider changing too also :D Although I don't have an account on...
  13. Officially joined the dark side

    I have been fighting it ever since the coach at my club told me to change styles 6months into TT. But I'm older now and YouTube has got me too hyped up so I have officially committed to long pips for a chopping orientated BH and boy am I glad I did. Went to the centre to do some training with...
  14. Becoming more consistent in actual matches

    Don't worry my friend you aren't the only one. I found for me personally, service receive really mind Fs me and throws me off concentration for everything else. Once I'm stable I find the reason is then simply because the return from opponent is always not what I am used too and so I have to...
  15. London here I come!

    Hey there! I'm not sure if I am good to practise with but you can always come down to my club. https://www.ellenboroughttc.com/ On the weekend evening sessions, Saturday 7.30-10.30pm, Sunday 6.30-9.30pm there are a few good players that come and they usually do a bit of top table fun too if you...
  16. New setup suggestions

    For me it sounds like a technique problem. Mark V can do it all to a decent lvl. try using more wrist to generate more spin. But the xiom vega pro is a pretty good upgrade to mark V. If you lack spin with H3N then you're doing it wrong, try the Mark V on FH...
  17. Blade suggestion for in table play- long pips ox

    I'm not really in position to tell you what are the better options but I have read a few times about the VKMO (Victas Koji Matsushita Offensive). or the orinigal also. For ALL blades I have only ever played around with the Stiga ALL classic. But I haven't played enough to give a worthy opinion.
  18. Blade suggestion for in table play- long pips ox

    did you try any other blades? or only the clipper?
  19. Blade suggestion for in table play- long pips ox

    You look like you're handling it quite well tbh! Would be interesting to see you now and specifically with the clipper cr and long pips. You take the ball very early like a push blocker style. What about for the usual chop like returns? I feel like if someone gave me a decent topspin loop, long...
  20. Blade suggestion for in table play- long pips ox

    Interesting to hear this. I wouldn't be playing close to the table but of course the first 2 or 3 shots are close to the table. How did you find it for long pushes? too quick? Too fast for serve return?
