So..... Blades and rubbers I've tried since I bought my first proper racket in 2007 : Blades : Tibhar Lucjan Błaszczyk All + Butterfly Andrzej Grubba All + Donic Waldner Allplay Donic Waldner Diablo Senso Andro Temper Tech ALL + Stiga Azalea Allround Stiga Azalea Offensive (Using Currently)...

Won 2, lost 1 in club training today. Revenge for the loss on Thursday :)

You can look for any balsa blade if you want it to be lightweight. Most of them are 75 grams or less. This is one with balsa core https://revspin.net/blade/hunter-flame.html

Not to mention in boxing it is far more common for orthodox fighters to fight in southpaw stance to get the advantage of stronger jab, for one.

I'd suggest Nittaku Fastarc series. For me, S-1 and C-1 (both have 45 degree rubber hardness) perform well on my backhand and forehand, respectively. It lasts quite long and I play with it appr. 4-6 hours a week.

Fun fact, TT legend Andrzej Grubba was the opposite. Natural left-hander who played with his right hand. I think it was because in those times, people were supersticious (religious stuff, I think, thinking left hand is 'wrong hand', etc.) and were forcing left handed people to 'switch' to their...

So.....saw that Aliexpress had a big sale on TT items. Never bought from that site before but I saw that there were 2 Loki Kirin K1 and K2 blades for about 10 PLN each (about 2 euro each). Bought two along with Double Fish Volant Phoenix for 22 PLN (about 6 euro) in 37 degrees hardness. 40 PLN...

As I wrote above : 22 PLN, so at current rate, little over 6 euro.

Well, I only say how I felt and it felt really good for me. I play a more allround style with emphasis on active blocking and Diablo Senso felt really good for me during matches and training. Only thing I didn't like was the handle which was little too thick for me (Stiga Master handle is...

Don't know how much speed you want from the blade and I think it is discontinued but I've played with Donic Waldner Diablo Senso (3 ply wood + 2 glassfiber) Amazing feel, light and good speed for me :).

So....went for a bit of training session in my club (I was only person in the group over 15 years old so me being 32.....felt a bit old xD ). Did few basic elements (Forehand + Backhand topspin, serve, recieve -> attack 3rd ball, practising countering topspins). Then came the games....Dang those...

I never played with G-1 myself but from what I've heard, they are more controllable (G-1 has 47.5 hardness while S-1 and C-1 have 45 degrees sponge hardness.) I can say that from my experience, S-1 is more oriented towards speed while C-1 is more oriented towards spin. Both are best suited for...

As I play little bit of a counter style close to the table from both sides, I'd recommend Nittaku Fastarc series. I use C-1 on my forehand and S-1 on backhand. I really like S-1 on my backhand : blocking is really nice with it, backhand flicks are consistent and going over the net and on the...

I'd recommend Nittaku Fastarc S-1 :). Medium rubber, great for blocking and punches, good serve recieve

What about the hardness ? How hard you'd say it was ?

In my opinion (and that opinion is just mine, so do with it as you will), with right technique you can generate just as much spin, power and place balls well with expensive blades with carbon layer or other stuff and with a less expensive, all wood type blade of same type (OFF, ALL, etc.). Not...

Hello everyone :) I saw the video on youtube about DHS Hurricane 9 rubber and was intrigued by it. I wanted to try a DHS rubber on my forehand, since I need to practice on my stroke and I thought that kind of rubber would help with it, forcing to use body and arm correctly and all that. I wanted...

I actually got into table tennis because I just liked it when I began playing with my first pre-made bat :) Later, when I got playing with a group of friends and started to watch some matches on TV, I'd say those that influenced me the most are : Kalinikos Kreanga - for his backhand...

Well, managed to get 2 hours of practice today with my teammate. We usually do the routine of pushes, H and X drills, topspin, etc. I think we both got better :). I am starting to finally use the entire body to generate topspin on my forehand instead of just my arm, but it's a slow process. Got...
