Euro rubber for beginner? Sure: Do consider Donic Baracuda to learn how to spin the ball properly which, to me is the most enjoyable part of the sport TT. Read my signature: I use Donic Baracuda on both side of my blade. It cost about USD30 per piece and I am unsure how much it is when it is...

I wanna pen my two cents. When Matthias Falck came into the scene and won Ma Long the Dictator is a ITTF major event, I was intrigued and tried buying a cheap Short Pip ( Yinhe brand ) and glue it to my blade. The result was disastrous for me as I even lost 11-1 to a regular club mate of mine...

How about this plot twist: FZD to ML: I am feelin charitable tonight, I'll take the silver. I want to have another Grand Slam winner in our camp. This is my parting retirement gift to you. ML to FZD: Thanks a million brother. Let's get the Team Gold together, shall we?

I know that there is an ongoing battle to curb illegal boosting of rubber at high level tournament. I thought of an idea. Hear me out:How about asking the players to glue their blade with fresh rubber straight from unopened factory packaging like 1/2 hour before game in front of the officials /...

Hi everyone,I just want to share my experience as a TT player ( I started around six years ago ). My first rubber was the Japanese rubber TSP Ventus spin which was recommended by a local coach from my city's TT association. After playing a while, my EJ'ing nature made me switch to European...

If you find you like the DHS rubber and wishes to remain using chinese tacky rubber but think the blade is a bit slow, then you can move on to Stiga Infinity VPS , Stiga Clipper CR or Stiga Carbonado ( in ascending degree of speed rating ).If you think you the chinese tacky rubber does not suit...

I too have been playing a lot on a rebounding board as my country is under complete lockdown for more than a month now. I will share with you what my coach tell me when using the rebounding board: 1) Keep your knees bent, as a guide, your waist should be lower or or on par with the table...

If you want to emulate Ma Long style: 1) DHS Power G7 2) DHS Hurricane Hao 3 3) Nittaku Acoustic all wood 3) and finally you reach the final frontier - DHS Long 5x which is what ML is currently using. The prior three are what ML had used before in his TT pro career before coming to DHSL5x so I...

I have been using Butterfly Free Chack 2 for some time now and I am very happy with it. Easy to apply and most important, easy to remove rubber with it leaving residue that is easily removed. So far all the rubber sheets that are glued do not come off. Very happy with its performance thus far.

The heaviest I have played with is 218g. It was an old Nittaku ( maybe Violin or Acountic ) blade with two sides H3. Very nice to loop but I'd reckon if play in match, especially if prolonged seven match, can be tiring.

I have played with a Tibhar Stratus Power Wood paired with Donic Baracuda and Xiom Vega Europe before. My memory of it was a very nice controlled offensive set up. It was easy to play, you can play according to your rhythm and not have this hurried feeling. I have fond memories of playing with...

I was happily happily EJ'ing away with godsknowswhat I have tried: Tenergy 05, 05Fx, 05Hard, 80, 80Fx, Joola Rhyzm, Rakza 7, H3, M2, etc. In the end, I still ended up with Donic Baracuda, my old favourite / reliable buddy who has never let me down all these years. It is like one has the...

What is BTF? Top 10 Best Backhand Rubber for Modern Table Tennis • PingSunday Read this article, all your queries answered.

Today is my inaugural practice with my DS9 as it arrive on my doorstep this morning. It is amazingly easy to play with the blade in the sense it is so so so controllable. I really have no idea what One ply hinoki feels like and wasn't sure if it is a hitting or looping blade. I am playing two...

I am having a trigger happy moment and I am about to hit the buy button for Darker Speed 90 but something is stopping me; I have no idea what rubber to put on it. I asked my vendor and he said anything goes, which to me isn't that helpful. So, after thinking and pondering about it for...

Something further for me to add: 1. A long stroker would probably benefit from a more flexy blade with tacky rubber which produces a spinnier curvature ( low throw ) trajectory. 2. A short stroker would benefit from a stiffer blade and bouncier rubber if his / her playstyle is a hitter. 3...

Here is my take: Short stroke: Elbow is closer to the body, Better control and faster recovery time. Best for those who play fast counter attacker near table style. Example Harimoto and many female pro players uses this style. Long stroke: Elbow is further from body. Utilise whole body...

want a slow set up? Yasaka Ma Lin Offensive; choose the five ply all wood instead of the seven play. Glue two sheets of Yasaka Mark V. Should be a slow & controllable set up for hobbyist.

No No No, you are all wrong. As what Connor Macleod of the Highlander series says, "There can only be one". And that will be the one and only Xiom Vega Europe, add DF if you want extra spin. 😂
