  2. Forum Game - Who is in the picture?

    that must be Stum Boll Up On
  3. My rubber is broken, but I've never seen this before...

    I have exactly the same thing (on only one place) on my 2,5 years old Andro Revo Fire (red 1,7mm) , on the spot where i hit the ball with more agressive loops. This happens when one or two pimples get loose from the sponge , when you remove a rubber from the blade to reglue (tune) it , you have...
  4. The best wood blade

    Stiga Tube Allround , very good feel and control , still fast enough (i would rate it AR+) You can't go wrong with this one , in general the Stiga wood range has a great quality ! ( I also know the Andro Super Core cell All+ is a great allround wood blade, it is faster than the Tube Allround...
  5. Waldner or Ma Long?

    There was also Jean-Michel Saive (who beat Waldner several times and was world no 1 for something like 15 months ), he also beat as good as ALL the Chinese players at that time.
  6. Give a try or just stay in the confort area? - Blades, rubbers and money questions!

    I would also buy a Rakza 7 soft or equivalent more expensive rubber for the FH and then the cheaper lkt on the backhand. Just like Kevzar says , if you clean your rubber (with water and a soft tissue or sponge) regularly you can play a long time with these ESN rubbers , I have personally played...
  7. What is the best alternative for Tenergy 05?

    Indeed you may be right, i found a picture of the Yasaka Rakza 7 (backside of the packaging) and there you can clearly read : made in Germany. Strange because Yasaka is a Japanese company ,which is also visible on the picture).
  8. What is the best alternative for Tenergy 05?

    Rakza is NOT a ESN Tensor rubber (ESN is a German company), Rakza is made in Japan ! Not one ESN rubber is made in Japan ! This list is a list that suggest rubbers that are similar to T05, with similar he means equally speedy and spinny and performing rubbers. These rubbers may not be equally...
  9. What is the best alternative for Tenergy 05?

    Hi guys, A Belgian player ( i think he is a B4 so i would say about USATT 2500) who has a TT-shop has listed the rubbers he thinks are a good alternative for Tenergy 05 and here is his list : Andro Hexer HD Andro Roxon 500pro Donic Acuda S1 Donic Acuda S1 Turbo Donic...
  10. Change to Tibhar range

    I have tried a Calibra LT Sound in 2 mm red and i find the spin is not enough , also VERY difficult to play a SHORT push , even a long push is difficult, the rubber is just too bouncy (tried it on 4 different blades (from ALL to OFF-) I am convinced that very few players (want to) play this...
  11. This info will save you a lot of money !

    all top players boost their rubbers and the better amateur players too or even the ones who want to make their rubber more dynamic (for example a Tackiness C is rather slow, so boosted it is a very spinny and fast enough rubber) has anyone tried the WD40 or lamp oil boosting/renewing yet ? what...
  12. Adidas Challenge Speed Prototype and Full production model

    I think Adidas just doesn't develop anything in Table Tennis, they just have a company (this blade looks very much like a Stiga product) make a blade for them and put on the adidas label. Also their rubbers P3, P5 etc are most likely made by another company. I think the products can be good ...
  13. Which long pimples for modern defence?

    Well , these long pips are not helping table tennis as a sport, they can also be treated to be frictionless (or become so after a long usage). I am convinced that this material should be banned by ittf because it doesn't bring anything useful or beautiful to our sport, just strangely playing...
  14. What table tennis rubbers & blade do you use?

    I tried it on a Donic Waldner senso carbon, which has normally a good control, then i tried it on my Stiga Tube Allround and then on an older Donic Persson Powerplay and it was always the same problem of really no feeling of control and not enough spin. I have to say that i first played with...

    Well euh i will just give one more : http://www.mostpopularsports.net/in-china Again basketball in first place !
  17. Just a thought about making TT rallies longer and more watchable by the public...

    TT has been popular in China because of reasons of COST (the communist regime wants to give a large population a cheap sport that requires only limted space and equipment). In the meantime it is basketball that is the most popular sport in China, i quote an article from USAToday ...
  18. Just a thought about making TT rallies longer and more watchable by the public...

    Tennis is a bigger sport because it is more fun to WATCH so there are more viewers (and not the other way round)! Tennis rallies (especially womens tennis which has had the most increase in popularity) are on average significantly longer than table tennis rallies. People will get interested if...
  19. Just a thought about making TT rallies longer and more watchable by the public...

    Indeed , one little step ahead would be banning the long pimples, funny way of play, just disturbing and creating strange effects that are horrible to watch. I even know a player who plays long pimples and the top half is treated (to make them completely spinless) and the other half is not...
  20. Just a thought about making TT rallies longer and more watchable by the public...

    In order to get big events , big sponsors and more media exposure you NEED a big audience , so watchability is the most essential element in order to promote the sport. Failing to understand this is a fundamental and basic error. A sponsor will have to know how many people will watch an event...
