Just a quick update for anyone interested. I had my first hit with the VSU last night, and I was very impressed. Comfort was excellent - If you like Butterly straight handle blades, it is almost identical. The "feel" was increased no end vs my previous Garaydia/T05 set up - Obviously the...

OK - The Freitas blade is a good option - It won't be far away from all the Butterfly ALC type blades. I would absolutely test out H3 though - It's a world away from T05, and you will probably (at a guess), absolutely hate it. As a an English junior, I wouldn't get caught up in the H3 hype -...

Just taken delivery of it! Really impressed with the build quality - Usually I find Butterfly to be a touch above here, but this VS Unlimited is absolutely on par with them. It doesn't have the same sense of "premium" feeling that the Garaydia did, but I've never felt a blade quite like that...

Hi Joe, What level do you play at mate?

I'm not sure you understand exactly what I'm saying. But recommending long pips, because a junior can't return a serve, is terrible advice (sorry to say!) If you only care about winning at a very low level, then sure, put whatever rubbers you want on. But if you actually care about developing...

My comment was half a joke, and half serious. I don't think sticking long pips on to cover a technical deficiency is the right thing to do. It immediately limits your ability to progress and effectively shoe horns you into one style of play. If you developed a decent back hand, and then...

OK - Well..... Any rubber that you've used previously, and liked, will be fine. The blade will not drastically change the characteristics of a rubber you've used previously.

Long pips is never the solution...... to anything! ;)

What's your style of play? Any video online?

Hmmmm - I'll possibly give it a try if I don't get on with MX-S. I was convinced by this mini review from a few years ago - Completely forgot it existed! lol https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?14035-Tibhar-EVO-MX-S-vs-The-Tenergy-Club!

Doing well buddy! Just keep practicing as much as you can. I'd say the investment in coaching early on, will be the most valuable thing you can do. Once you've got the mechanics right (before you fall into too many bad habits), you'll be well on your way to improving. Good luck!

By "fall of a cliff", I mean the MX-P is excellent straight out of the packet - Good for 2-3 weeks, but then the performance of it is perhaps 50% of when it was new (making up the figures to demonstrate what I mean). Whereas I've found Tenergy to be a gradual decline - It's excellent out of the...

A few reasons - None of which are concrete, and I may end up changing anyway! But..... 1. I wanted to increase the spin on my shots, whilst still playing a full stroke - I found that with T05, I'd occasionally punt the ball long, and with reports of MX-P being as quick/quicker than T05, I...

Clearly no one is using it ;) I've just ordered one - With MX-S on both side (moving away from T05). I'll report back when I've had a knock!

Hi Joe, no need to apologies - I think people jump to conclusions about similar threads, because 99% of the time they end up being a complete waste. However, in your case, I can see exactly where you are coming from, and why you are asking. If you can try a few different types of blade (ALC vs...

Hey everyone, Potentially looking to change my set up - But wanted some feedback from anyone whose used this. Firstly, I seem to have come across conflicting information - Is the VS Unlimited absolutely 100% identically to the CAA Unlimited (apart from the colour of the handle?) Secondly -...

I'm 6ft 4 - I rarely work on footwork (I probably should)..... Some thoughts though. Standing close to the table for quick exchanges are not going to end well for you - You can block, and punch on the backhand, but if you are playing someone decent, you'll always lose out here. I stand 1 to 2...

Hi Keenan, It would be useful if you stated where the info came from, and if it's absolute fact - Or rumour. Take the Dima "Tenergy, heavily boosted" comment - Is that a fact? If so..... Do you have the source? Cheers!

I'll be completely honest and say that I haven't read the entire thread here - Quite frankly, after the first 40 posts, I got the message. To me, an online forum troll is someone who repeatedly (key word), looks to take things off topic, and generally cause a nuisance. I have absolutely no...

Awesome stuff! Good luck with the coaching!
