Ask the coach/pro questions that they answer regarding table tennis.
E.g. is it a sustainable sport/can you play it full time and earn enough money to live comfortably,or do you have to have a second job etc
There's a club in South Durban-The Nelson Mandela Youth Centre(KZN)-a very large venue, can fit around 12 table competition size or 16+ training.I dont live close to there,but went there for a tournament once. as far as I know-they train the whole of sunday,nothin else.
To those who say Fan aint using a Stiga blade-Have you seen his blade personally?
If so,you have the right to comment.If not,Shut the hell up,cos you cannot assume by looking at a photo.It is common knowledge that photo's do change a bit.
IMO if you are comfortable and feel you are doing well-keep it.dont listen to others.
If you have a coach,ask him.If he thinks that the equipment doesnt suit you,he will tell you.
I know they dont really matter,its just there to give an idea about the rubber.
but maybe when the new ball comes out then tenergy might drop,so i think we should wait and see.
