  1. Change in equipment

    Looking at your rubbers I assume you are a looper? Given BF JP01 is a medium hard rubber you better settle down with a all wood or wood+ALC blade.
  2. Penhold bat recommendation

    I'm a penholder myself. I do RPB close to mid table. Yes a soft one would give you better control. If you have a small budget, try Friendship/729 Snipe 3 only $15. Great control and light. But you need a medium stiff blade. More premium BH rubber- R7 soft, Andro ransant beat, Donic F3. these...
  3. Penhold bat recommendation

    With the right combination you can assemble a very versatile racket Sent from my ONE E1003 using Tapatalk
  4. Penhold bat recommendation

    Not really. You can get a Yasaka Extra Offensivel + 2 sheets of 729-08 or H3 + 729-08. Sent from my ONE E1003 using Tapatalk
  5. Penhold bat recommendation

    £15 is a bit tight to get a blade + rubbers. You can see if anyone can lend you a penhold racket to try out Sent from my ONE E1003 using Tapatalk
  6. New equipment

    You can't go wrong with Mark V on FH. It's a rubber for all types of play and that's why it's been around for so long. HPS was introduced after the booster ban. So it's a faster version. I would also recommend a non-tacky rubber on your BH ( Mark V is semi-tacky from memory) . A cheap light...
  7. New equipment

    If you have strength - try getting a Yasaka Extra Offensive or Stiga Offensive Classic. If you need more power with control - try Stiga Intensity NCT. More budget options include DHS PG7, PG13.
  8. New equipment

    All depends on your style. Do you think you will stay close to table? Do you think you will play more speed than spin? Or more spin than speed? Are you a penholder or shake hand? Sent from my ONE E1003 using Tapatalk
  9. Regarding h3, and boosting

    Bring back the legendary H3 with booster!! Sent from my ONE E1003 using Tapatalk
  10. Blade and Rubber combination?

    Good point. H3 requires some techniques and training. But you can buy 39degree which is not that hard. Alternatively try Sanwei National Target, Vega China or Yasaka Rising Dragon Sent from my ONE E1003 using Tapatalk
  11. Blade and Rubber combination?

    Or Hurricane 8 which is faster than Hurricane 3. Sent from my ONE E1003 using Tapatalk
  12. Blade and Rubber combination?

    Get a cheap piece of Neo Hurricane 3 it goes well with your wooden blade. It's a looping machine on a wooden blade. Sent from my ONE E1003 using Tapatalk

  14. Regarding h3, and boosting

    I know several people have said/experience this. I must have just had good luck with the Dhs stuff I have received. I have never had a bubble basically only thing I have noticed was that two rubbers (one h3 neo one h8) were not as tacky as they normally are. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk...
  15. My top all wood blades.

    Hinoki is my favourite. I am a penholder. My favourite and only blade is Darker Speed 90 10mm. I can do RPB. I like it because it's soft and low in short game, yet explosive in counterloop and power loop. Sent from my ONE E1003 using Tapatalk
  16. Online retailer/ Store

    Prott is legit. They tend to have more options and the price is pretty competitive. I shop with TT11 as well they are great too. Sent from my ONE E1003 using Tapatalk
  17. Looking for BH rubber recommendations

    A few andro rubbers are light but fast for BH, such as power sponge and beat. They also gives your wonderful control. For half the price you can get 729 snipe III which is slower but I can play mid table loop with it. 729 Aurora is the first Chinese BH rubber that can match Euro speed for half...
  18. Recommending a bat to a beginner.

    If you have a bit of money I highly recommend Sanwei Target National ~$30USD. The blue sponge is medium soft with a tacky topsheet. It's slower than hurricane but has enormous control. It can be very fast if you have the right technique. Hitting, looping, close or far, blocking and chopping are...
  19. DHS Hao/ Hao 656/ Hao III

    Hao is thinner and weaker than Hao2. I have played with both. Both bend and rebound to give your powerful loop. Hao sucks when far from table. Hao2 is good mid from table. When far from table you start feeling the vibration and weakness. I haven't tried Hao3. I have heard Hao3 is too fast to...
  20. Hurricane 3 rubbers - what is the main difference?

    Unfortunately ESN rubbers or tenergy are "pre boosted" that's why they shrink over time. They are just boosted within the ITTF limit. A Neo prov H3 is softer and more lively than the commercial Neo H3. So you can play prov Neo without boosting. And the money is better spent than tenergy. Sent...
