I tried the new Tihbar ITTF approve 40+ ball on Sunday. It basically feels like a slower easier game. Yes there is definitely less spin, but this is relative to the slower speed and results in a very similar arc and bounce to previous balls, just at a bit of a slower pace. The bounce seems more...

Is there any particular injury you're concerned about? Elbow's and knees seem to be quite common injuries. Best advice I can give is to get to the gym and lift weights, the stronger an area is and the more supported by muscle it is, the less chance you'll get an injury. It also means muscles...

I just use anatomic handles now, as long as it's not stupidly thin I should be okay. Good, would hope a company like Adidas would produce good quality blades. Tried the Tihbar Stratus Power Wood and it's breaking off at the edges quite bad after a month or so.

I think they'll delay bringing it in for another season, haven't heard anything from the ITTF for ages.

Is the TT ball still supposed to be coming in for the 2014-15 season? I was informed that it's definitely not being used in British League next year.

Sounds good. Definitely sticking with the combination of rubbers, suits my game. Joola Flame Extreme blade is really good but they've discontinued it for an unknown reason. What were the handles like compared to other brands? Do they feel thin or thick?

I'm thinking of buying an Adidas Fibertec Extreme blade (I love a quick bat), and was wondering if anybody had tried this blade or any of the other Adidas blades and can comment on their quality?

Ahh right, I'm once or twice a week for 1.5hrs to 2hrs. I've used them in two tournaments as well so that's quite a few hours play. Will see how they are in another 3-4 weeks.

I've been playing with them for about 6 weeks now, they've been fine so far so I'll see how they are when I play tomorrow night :p

I'd second that with Mendo, especially on the backhand. It's a good steady rubber like Sriver and feels hard to miss with! Doesn't do anything special but will definitely be good for improving your technique. In terms of rubber thickness I've always got on best with max but that's my...

I love my Joola Rhythm rubbers, really excellent control and spin. You have the choice of 3 different levels of hardness, I use the original 48 on my backhand to suit my fairly flat shot, and the 42.5 on my forehand. I had Joola Express One and Two before, which I got on quite well with but the...

I think in the Men's event Zhang Jike will win.

Great review! Impressed with the amount of depth and detail it went into compared with other reviews, vital if you're thinking about trying it.

Only train about 2 hours every two weeks if I'm lucky!! Plus league matches. Not enough local sessions on for me, have one practise every other Sunday. Got to drive for about an hour or so to get any more practise.

I think the ball is number 7 also!

Don't know if this helps at all? http://tabletenniskingdom.com/ttk_products.php?cat=equipment

Hey all, If anybody's interested in rock music please check out my new band that I drum for. We've got just the one song up at the moment but will be putting up more on a regular basis, and a vid for our first song goes up on Friday. Looking forward to uploading our new tune sometime next week...

Has anybody else tried using Yinhe Sun or Moon??? I've been using Sun for a couple of months and I can't believe how good it is for £7 a sheet! It's their equivalent to Tenergy 25 so it's important to be close to the table and keep attacking, but the control and spin is as good as Tenergy...

Hopefully it won't play much different else it will suck but I also think it could be a good thing if it makes balls last longer from taking away the seam, which is the bit where the ball cracks the most.

Hi all, Would it be possible to implement a feature on the site where you can upload a video of yourself playing and get tips on what you're doing wrong from the experts!? I don't get any coaching and never really have so it would be good to get any advice available on what I'm doing wrongand...
