  1. New Allround (+) 5-ply blade - Which one to choose?

    I personally think OP should start with OFF-. I don't like ALL and ALL+ in the era of 40+ plastic ball either. I like Tibhar Samsonov Alpha too. The finish is definitely better than Samsonov Premium Contact.
  2. DHS W968 review

    I would trust tabletennis11.com However, the price on TT11 is not that competitive compared to prott.vip
  3. Content Pulled from The Hijacking of GrandMaster's Thread

    That is funny how sub 1000 level players are commenting on a 2600+ level player. Too bad Matt did not post for a year after. I read fast. I tend to ignore unhelpful posts/people.
  4. how comfortable are you with hard (53+) rubber on your backhand?

    I think blade matters a lot. Today I played with Gambler Black out carbon blade with H3 on the FH and Rakza 7 soft on the BH. I am surprised that I could get a lot of balls back on the table and if I have to turn from defense to offense, it is pretty easy. I mean My second favorite blade is...
  5. how comfortable are you with hard (53+) rubber on your backhand?

    Yes I have tried K1 and K2. And Sanwei Target National feels a bit hybrid to me as well (compared to H3). I like it tacky tacky. Gone back to H3 neo now.
  6. Need advice for buying my second bat.

    If you push a lot, yes, any of those ESN rubbers are fine. They are soft. Rozena would be a great choice for you to work your way up the Butterfly ladder. Wish you the best!

    Ohhhhh, got it. I see it on a smaller bottle on TT11. I am wondering if I should get it. I should give it a try. I have tried Donic, Neottec and Revolution 3 glues. Might as well try DHS glue too. Thanks!
  8. The different ways of boosting

    Yes we are all programmed to win, win and win. Even if it is on a ping pong table. But it is more important to be successful in our day-to-day career and we use table tennis to decompress our stress (and NOT to get more angry; lol). :) :)
  9. Need advice for buying my second bat.

    I am pretty sure TT11 ships to New Zealand. TT11 is great! Buy enough and you get 30% off. They unfortunately get you Butterfly products outside of their area. Blade: I like Tibhar Stratus Power Wood. Off -. Great at looping. Well balanced. Handle is comfortable. If you want to go with...
  10. Is my h3n National real or why is it shiny?

    Thank you for your feedback back. Yeah I would like to try provincial blue sponge at some point. However I am just experimenting between a lot of different blades. All the blades have H3 neo (or H3 regular or TG3 neo) on the front and Butterfly/ESN in the back. if I were to buy provincial or...
  11. Is my h3n National real or why is it shiny?

    I agree. Some of my old H3 neo commericial sheets look beat up and cloudy.

    What is #15 sponge? Thanks for your answer ahead of time!

    Got it. I have always used DHS H3 neo 39 degree from TT11 because that's the only degree offered at TT11. I am used to it. Like it on the forehand side. For backhand, I have Stiga Genesis on two blades. Impression. Heavy. But it actually is catapulty to some degree and I know because the other...

    Oh....for 10 years he has used H3 on both sides. No wonder I am not aware of his earlier days when he was using various equipment. I have always thought that Ma Long is well known for being one of very few Chinese players who use H3 on both sides. Most most Chinese players have Butterfly (or...
  15. New Allround (+) 5-ply blade - Which one to choose?

    Agree with Neottec. They make very very good Japanese made products at very good price. Nothing wrong with any of the Neottec products (glue, blades and rubbers) that they have made.
  16. New Allround (+) 5-ply blade - Which one to choose?

    Lol, I EJ way too much. I don't think I should buy a Yasaka Sweden Extra into my collection. You need to see my collection of paddles right now. It is out of control. I need to see how I can unloaded some to my club mates.
  17. Playing with non-dominant hand

    Nice videos! I have read about that in the other thread from you. crazy so his parents brought him up playing left handed. I thought about doing that to my kids but let us be honest, my kids aren't going to be Ma Long or Chen Meng of table tennis so I squashed that idea fairly quickly.
  18. The different ways of boosting

    I agree. I don't know why people get so angry at the sport. I mean, everyone hates losing. I think it is known that Michael Jordan is competitive about everything including playing card games with teammates. I think some people, even if money is not involved, would like to cheat and win on card...
  19. Illegal long pips are actually very fun to play against.

    It is LOUD!!!! But looks to be very exciting!
  20. Illegal long pips are actually very fun to play against.

    Some local tournaments probably don't have empires. Even I have to google to make sure I remember how expedite rule works. If we are not calling illegal serve in tournaments, I highly doubt someone will pull out expedite rule.
