possible, but not everyone like the feel of Chinese rubber. I hate it. it's ... I can't even describe it, I had Chinese rubber for a while on my backhand, because I had to improve some things but when I took it off and finally got a nice, freshly glued BTY Ekrips my hand was screaming of joy and...

ha, test event ... in my old days, during tournaments, table tennis equipment providers would come to this tournaments with all the flashy new blades and rubbers and whatnot. of course you would try. of course you would want something new, something different ... but that might not be the right...

honestly, I was never fond of Chinese type of rubber ... I used to play with original Friendship 729, later on with BT Tackiness Drive, which are fairly hard rubbers and never particularly like playing with them. but had to, because club would provide them for me and to progress with my...

hi all! so, currently I am trying to get back into table tennis. after cca. 20 years of hiatus I started playing at the end of 2023 again. table tennis was quite different now then it was when I stopped playing. I was playing professionally, on top national level (top 10 in my country in...

hm ... my 50 cents on glue sheets and why pros are not using them - could be, that they are going through rubbers way faster than an amateur player does. which could prove costly. when I was still playing professionally, I was going through 4-6 pairs of rubber per season. sometimes we even had...

yeah, that's why I am asking, because I got some Xiom rubber to test and had to put two layers of glue (somehow it wouldn't stick properly to the blade) and it was very peculiar rubber to play (extremely low arch, no speed) ... but it was also quite worn, with a noticeable layer of old glue on...

thanks. yeah, that is still the same as it was - you have to wait for the glue to dry up, except, now it is easier to determine if glue actually dried up or not ... :D

recently I got back into table tennis and when I stopped playing it was still era of speed glueing the rubbers ... so I am in process of finding right material for me and was wondering - does the current water based glue add speed or not? or, better but - does it affect playability? I was using...

I am currently using Free Chack Pro II - what issues might I expect? I am used to old, speed glues from 1990's and early 2000's and am still getting used to these new glues ...

adjusting to new serve rules (FH underarm no longer allowed) and my backhand topspin/loops are a true pain in the tuchus (well, not tuchus, but my elbow was broken, twice, and it can be painful) ... and as a player relying on loops on both sides this is quite a project to be solved.

you could try Donic BlueGrip S1 ... or maybe the regular Rakza 7. Acuda S2 - what thickness? I just read the whole thread - didn't see there were more posts. I know it's a medium-hard rubber but give it a try - Donic BlueGrip C2. if you would want to change the blade - OSP Expert is a great...

I was quite worried when I got back into the game in the end of 2023 because I was so out of the game, that I didn't even know there was a change in ball technology. I didn't even know that speedglues were forbidden! 😂 and when people told me what this plastic ball did ... I was worried it...

well, currently I am playing with an interesting combination - OSP Rosin IC 6.5, Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft on forehand and Donic BlueGrip S1 on backhand ... but there is quite a story behind it ... I played table tennis professionally until 2004 I think. I played since I can remember, my family says...

mostly because when you advance your play and technique further, this under the table slow loop becomes too slow. but too start and learn looping, this is the same way I was learning it in 1990’s a junior player. once you nail it, you can start taking shots earlier. actually, you have to...
