  2. Waldner Offensive 2016

    Review by 'S2000' on item 'Waldner Offensive 2016'

    This blade fits very well with modern ESN or Japanese rubbers. Gives very strong spinny loops. Blocking is good and particularly with faster rubbers. Smashing is good with faster rubbers but not with soft to intermediate sponge and speed rubbers. Can though be done with a flicking motion...
  3. about knee surgeries

    Hello, I had really severe knee problems. After RMI it showed tears on meniscus. They were though very reluctant with surgery. I got in contact with a sports medicine therapist and got treatment - consisting of three times cortison injections into the knee combined with physiotherapy - main...
  4. WTT Finals Hong Kong 2025, 12/10-14

    There is another thing - there is an opponent and the opponent might just have played better the longer the game went.
  5. Donic true carbon inner

    Hi - I started again playing table tennis a bit more than a year after a let's prolonged hiathus. Being Swedish I for sentimental reasons tested Waldner Offensive but also because the allround woods was to my liking too slow. The playing style of the Stone Age was when smashing with a flip...
  6. Returning player (AR+/OFF–) looking for versatile rubbers for Xiom Hugo HAL [no longer: Cybershape Wood]

    Mantra Pro is less spin sensitive than Rakza 7/7 soft. MP in medium maybe more controllable than R7 - R7soft controllable but more spin sensitive than mantra Pro. G1 I have not used. All of these rubbers make many blades faster so maybe better to start with new rubber than with new rubber and...
  7. Flared(FL) or Straight(ST)?

    I agree handshake is important but so is size. I have found that most flared really get locked in my hand, i.e. the ends imply get stuck. I can play with most straight I have tested. My preferred is though Donic Anatomic as done for the Waldner 2016 offensive but also the A from yasaka ML extra...
  8. Flared(FL) or Straight(ST)?

    In other words give us s larger selection of handles since we are not all clones 😂
  9. Flared(FL) or Straight(ST)?

    I think size of hands is also important. Flared is at least for my hand difficult since it gets locked into the hand. I have not small hands glove size 10-11. Straight one must train with a few sessions before you get the hold of. Otherwise, some people feel like they will drop the bat.
  10. Truls Effect - Table Tennis Becomes the Fastest Growing Sport in Sweden after Paris 2024

    See this is old part of thread - but I will answer anyhow. Actually it started already in the 60s with almost every athletic/skiing club having a table tennis section. Then with Stellan and together with Alser and Johansson it really bloomed. However, the big thing was that you could find table...
  11. Returning player (AR+/OFF–) looking for versatile rubbers for Xiom Hugo HAL [no longer: Cybershape Wood]

    Mantra Pro - if you have soft touch works really well for short play. If you push a bit harder then there is a point where it will go too far. If you have good feeling you will learn rather quickly. It has catapult but so has most modern rubbers including Rakza 7. If you are OK with Rakza 7 then...

    If you are close to Stockholm Stiga has a test centre at Söder. I came back after many years. Tested some "easy" rubbers and has for now ended up with Mantra Pro M.It is an offensive rubber but not an extreme one. Has more development capacity than Rakza 7 and more forgiving for incoming...
  13. WTT Champions Montpellier 2025, 10/28-11/2

    OK this kind of trash talk leads nowhere and is not interesting. I can only cite another compatriot down hill skier Ingemar Stenmark when asked about failure : I cite Do it yourself! I fail to see any substance in this citing trying to prove superiority. They are all good players let's enjoy...
  14. WTT Champions Montpellier 2025, 10/28-11/2

    Cannot agree that Moregardhs open game is crappy. Look at how he won Europe Smash outplaying Lin Shidong. Further, his strength is variety and often not so predictive. G4 he lost because he lost focus at the same time as Dang Qui improved his level. True his forehand is strong but backhand is...

    I think Truls was nervous in the beginning playing Dima. How much noise he makes is more about his general feeling sometimes not necessarily who's the opponent. He has actually been beaten by Anton a few times. If Anton has confidence he is really dangerous to almost any player.
  16. WTT Champions Montpellier 2025, 10/28-11/2

    Dima has real sportsmanship - very strange yellow card!
  17. WTT Champions Montpellier 2025, 10/28-11/2

    Dima has been acting as a mentor for Truls.
  18. WTT Champions Montpellier 2025, 10/28-11/2

    Truls did not play Euros because of injury. It might get intense a match between him and Kallberg having played each other many times.
  19. Best Viscaria higher quality alternative

    OK thank you - personally flared is too small for my hands. The bat gets locked into my grip and I loose a lot of flexibility unfortunately!
