  1. Calling all Long pips users for info

    Ok so based on the shops in UK that have my blade and can glue them on (i'm really not confident to do it myself), I have 2 choices. 388D OX or Friendship 755 0.8mm sponge. :confused:

  3. Calling all Long pips users for info

    I've had a look online for what's available in UK that is cheap. I got a choice of the friendship 755, dhs c7/c8 and cloud&fog, dawaei 388d/d1. So what we reckon from those choices. Or do I just pick any really? Or maybe give me the 3 better ones.

    I have a H3 NEO I would put on as I have a sheet and that's what I played before. The only rubber I would consider using is Mark V.
  5. Calling all Long pips users for info

    Thanks for the replies guys. I'll stick to my stiga ALL classic then. A lot of options with the pips though. I just checked out the C7 now they are quite cheap also. I have tried feint long 3 with 1mm sponge on a matsushita def blade and it worked quite nice actually. But with my stiga ALL I...
  6. Calling all Long pips users for info

    Ok so I'm gonna make me a 'fun' bat. Chen Weixing style. I don't want to be playing mid distance unless I have to, prefer to stay 1-3ft from the table blocking, chopping with BH and blocking, looping, attacking with the FH. 1. Do I go for OX or get some sponge (no higher than 1mm). 2. Do I get...
  7. Slow down a blade or speed up the rubbers?

    I have played TT for a few years when younger with and without a little coaching here and there. Came back older for a year or 2. and came back again now at almost 30 years of age. I was always an ALL round kind of player and still am. I have been through so many different kinds of equipment and...
  8. Chinese Pro Equipment - Rubbers and Blades

    Oh sorry I had another question. Again about the Women's team. National, provincial, amateur and all really. Do they boost? Compared to the men? If they don't then why? Would it be because they play closer to the table, or they don't hit as hard?
  9. Chinese Pro Equipment - Rubbers and Blades

    oh wow interesting. Thanks for the replies guys :) I have actually never tried TG2, I am curious why he chose TG2 over TG3. I thought TG2 is more for closer table play like the old Ma Lin kind of game? He also uses Orange sponge right?
  10. Good tacky rubber to use unboosted on forehand?

    To be honest you can play any of the DHS NEO rubbers without boosting if you play within 1-3ft from the table most of the time. I haven't boosted any of my chinese rubbers and I even used regular H3 on my BH for a while. But I believe that new H8 rubber has a faster speed glue type sponge...

  12. Chinese Pro Equipment - Rubbers and Blades

    Hi Chen Chen! Nice thread :) 1. I am just wondering what FH rubbers the Women use and why (if you know). 2. Wondering if you know any players using Haifu Blue Whale 2? 3. Does anyone use Skyline TG3 NEO? Wondering why it seems as though they are not popular at all and the price seems lower on...
  13. Control vs. forgiveness

    It is just 1 meaning. Generally if a topsheet is really really spinny it will be really sensitive too. Hard fast spinny loops usually produce more spin, but a very spinny serve can show you just as well. Softer sponge just means the spin and speed of opponents shot will dig in and make contact...
  14. Control vs. forgiveness

    That could possibly be to do with blade difference. I actually started with Mark V both sides on my stiga all classic and I have to say that it is a do it all rubber, i find it very spinny but also quite sensitive to spin. For that reason only I find my setup up now with the Genius and Genius...
  15. Control vs. forgiveness

    Well, as an allround player I put the word control into 2 different categories. 1. With a very active FH or BH and by active I mean always looking to spin and loop and finish points early I find that people often find they have more control with rubbers that can impart more spin on the ball...

  20. It's not table tennis but its cool

    I didn't quite do the same. I quit because my bro and cousin drifted out. So I lost my 2 closest buddies who also motivated me the most. Then I had all that passion to use and found Table Tennis :) Hahahaha thanks but I am definitely not that good. But I definitely love it as much as Timo loves...
