I'll drop you a PM shortly! Watched that friendly match - It's always hard to tell how you'd fair in a video like that, but I reckon the player who won would be too good, but the player who lost is perhaps at the top end of our level (he may be better, and it just doesn't show because he was...

Budget dependant, but I reckon it'll be between 5 and 7 days. Ideally (regardless of whether we are there 5 or 7 days) I think we'll try and arrange 3 evenings (or days) of Table Tennis at 3 different clubs across the country (whatever country that may be in). We are very happy to drive across...

Thank you! But yes..... Back on point! Please keep the suggestions coming. I'd rather not focus on ability right now, because I think that detracts from the main purpose of what we are hoping to achieve. So if you know of nice clubs (good facilities etc), in your area, please let me know...

Not quite yet, but very soon! I asked Sergio to make me an Ovtcharov ALC with the Badger logo and colours.... It's even the same weight as my existing blade, so it should be incredibly similar! He smashed it out of the park....

Quite possibly - It would be great to see video of the various levels (but that's probably asking a bit much). But as I said, at this point, I'd love just to be able to plan a little route and visit clubs along the way. The actual "friendly matches" are very secondary. We'd be happy simply...

Sweden, Germany and France were my first thoughts, just because of the TT players. But I'll definitely look into Sweden/Finland and may drop you a message if we go that way 😁

Great question, one I've asked @NextLevel before as I really don't know (and struggle to understand some of the USATT ratings at times). I know 2000 is thrown out as the magic number, and I'd like to think, on average, we are higher than that? I dunno, maybe 2200? You likely have a much better...

And there's me channelling that "Do you not know who I am?!" sort of energy! 😂 Valid point (although, again, I'll stress that the TT is secondary to simply finding good clubs in Europe). I did a little video a while back (for this forum), to showcase what we ask for when we say "is there any...

The Ovtchorav ALC is being retired this week! The "Badger Blade" from SDC should be arriving on Friday! Are you coming over to Europe so we can have a match!?

Do you have any recommended clubs? We'll likely stick to one country, but happy to travel across it to visit different clubs/see parts of the country. We'll probably do 3 clubs in the week!

That's the million dollar question! Let's get some obvious ones out of the way..... Pro's.... Not quite 😂 Give us time! Beginners - Again, not our level. Our team would play in the top amateur local league across the UK. It's a big guess as to how that translates in Europe, and how...

To add to the above..... If anyone knows of any clubs (European) that are worth visiting (even if we can't organise a friendly), please let me know. We'd love to go to some of the nicer "purpose built" table tennis centres!

Hey TTD family! My UK based team is looking for some European clubs to play against in September 2025 (dates to be confirmed!) We have absolutely no preference as to where to go, so I’m looking for suggestions of European clubs who would be happy to have a friendly match next year! We are...

Hi Sumitkpaul, It will pair very well (but honestly, very rarely will a rubber pair badly with a blade....) What's your level though? It will be fast!

Isn't this the same as every Junior ever? Looks fantastic against the "traditional" top spin type play, but then looks AWFUL against an unconventional player (pips, chops, pushes etc). The only way for your friends to get better here is to train and put that training into those matches. The...

But are you saying the method contributed to the strings feeling different, or it was just one of those things? My understanding (feel free to correct me!) is that with re stringing a racket, it’s about the strings and tension. In theory, any competent stringer should do it the same. If it...

But with strings, it’s black and white. You’ve got preferred tension, string type etc - there is no chance that someone does something slightly different. With glueing a bat, if I told 10 people to glue up my bat with 2 layers of glue, all 10 people would do it slightly differently. China...

As Just a guess, but stringing a racket needs a much bigger (not portable) machine. Table tennis bats can be made up very easily, with little equipment. Also…. Typically, stringed racket sports will have more money in the sport, so you end up with dedicated jobs like stringing a racket...

Appreciate it! Have a follow back for your troubles….. 😊

Amazing! Was that at Gloucester? I think Matt was there as well. Benji is our least experienced player, but he'll be flying after a few years at the top level!
