Aha! You must be be the same as me then. Have a look at the thread I posted recently (Butterfly vs Mizuno sizing). You'll want a UK11 in the energy force (I added photos so you can see the difference).

Good luck - I recently looked for some of the older Energy Force shoes and came up short (I'm a UK12). I do still have the Mizuno Wave Drive 7 (Brand new with tags), that I was going to send back to the shop tomorrow. They are yours if you want them (£72 plus shipping).

Guys, this is purely troll food right here. The OP can help out a newbie to a certain extent - But it then becomes the blind leading the blind. I actually have admiration for the fact the OP is wanting to help newcomers to the sport. However, to then post videos looking for praise about how...

I've updated the original post with all 3 sizes - Bit of an anti climax in the end!

There is very little feedback you can get when your opponent doesn't put the ball back on the table.

Bizarre - Haven't ordered anything recently (I missed the "recently" part in your initial question) - Spoke to Bill (Thornton) a few weeks ago though - Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Thorntons are great - Ordered loads from them before. Surprised they aren't answering though - Which number were you calling?

Out of curiosity, are you normally a UK9 in TT shoes or general shoes? I'm a UK12 in most trainers, but wore a UK11 in Butterfly TT shoes.

It's the length which is the issue for me - It would annoy me having so much room at the end. Hopefully tomorrow will bring the right size!

They were (some of them at least) - But not anymore. At the price they are, I'd want someone as good as Asics making them - I'm not prepared to spend that cash on Butterfly own shoes.

Hey guys, I looked extensively for info on this, and had really mixed opinions which didn't help. I have worn Butterfly Energyforce VIII for the past few years, and had stuck with Butterfly shoes before that. I'd always ordered a UK11 (even though in 99% of all other trainers/sneakers I'm a...

I think Liam won 11-4

So even in that scenario, game 2 couldn't be Y serving to B?

Hey guys, This one gets brought up at least once a season, and I can't find the definitive rule! in doubles, at the change of ends, can the serving team decide who serves first, or does it have to be the person who received the ball in the first game. Subsequently, can the team serving first...

Hey XO21 - Welcome back. Sounds like you have followed my footsteps - I had a 10 year break (bar 1 season), and came back to the sport last year. Again, like you, I used Bryce (with speed glue), before the ban, but I did have a quicker blade (Schlager Carbon). Regarding rubbers - Tenergy is...

It's also worth noting that whilst it appears the UK is doing fantastically well (we have a solid league infrastructure, and the bronze at the Worlds was way beyond expectation), the harsh reality is, that it just doesn't provide enough money for most (as noted by others here). Even the top...

I used to in the speed glue days, but not anymore. I personally find that a lacquered blade doesn't hold the rubber as easily. As as long as you are using the new water based glue, and peeling off carefully, you'll be OK.

Miah, The original post was from 2013. If he still wants to play TT.... He might be a bit stiff lol. If you are looking for TT news/clubs, check this out - https://www.tabletennis365.com/Middlesbrough/News

I'm not sure where I said it'll increase injuries? Although if you class "arm ache" as an injury, I suppose that counts! Dan mentioned the injuries, I just mentioned having to do a bit more with the ball to generate the spin. I stand by my comments that for me, and my style of play, it hasn't...

To start off with, I'll echo the sentiments of the others. My main gripe is the HUGE differences in playing characteristics between the balls - I play in 4 different leagues in the UK (there's around 8-10 teams in each League), and pretty much every individual team uses a different ball. There...
