  1. Best footwear for a beginner.

    Nike Lite 2 (https://www.sportsdirect.com/nike-lite-2-womens-hard-court-tennis-shoe-146174) could be what you're after. Very happy with my men's version (https://www.sportsdirect.com/nike-lite-2-mens-hard-court-tennis-shoe-145224/). They last forever (including the cushioning and soles), can be...

  3. Where to play in London?

    If you're up for it, we could have a practice session at the Barnet Table Tennis Centre (https://bttc.co.uk/about-bttc/how-to-get-to-bttc/) on Friday 12th or Saturday 13th evening (19:30 - onwards). BTTC is just a 10 minutes walk from High Barnet underground station which is the last station on...
  4. Dilemma with cost-benefit on European vs Chinese rubbers

    I recall reading somewhere that Mantra's have a reputation for poor longevity. Probably any other medium-hard rubber will last longer.

  6. Feedin in multiball

    Try to avoid tossing the ball up and hitting it when it's dropping after reaching the top of the bounce. Just drop it on the table and tap it while it is still on the rise. The most advanced way is to grab several balls and hit them almost directly out the hand, before they touch the table...
  7. Where to play in London?

    I'm glad you had a good time at our club (luckily it wasn't too busy that evening). Hope IB66 did too. We're a small club so it was great to meet and play other forum members. P.S.: My apologies for not mentioning more explicitly the various tourist and drinking attractions in St Albans :-)
  8. Harimoto serve

    Ma Lin hands down, imo. King of both ace serves and 3rd ball attacks.
  9. Ma long serve

    It's not a side under serve, but a float/no-spin serve. Joshida's flick clips the net probably because he tried to flick the ball aggressively while keeping the return as low as possible and did not quite compensate for the lack of spin on the float serve.
  10. Alternative to TB Spirit

    I recall Nexy Calix 2 described by reviewers as a TBS with a slower low gear. God, 10 years is a long time ... 🤣
  11. Where to play in London?

    Which club is that?
  12. My serves

    Serve half-long.
  13. Where to play in London?

    Hi BRS, Here is a list of all clubs in the Central London league. Table Tennis Fight club should be within walking distance. https://www.tabletennis365.com/centrallondon/Clubs If you're not afraid of travelling just a little outside London and free on Tuesday or Wednesday evening, feel free to...
  14. Very clever business.

    Tony's right. Also, considering that most players do not use sticky protective film on their rubbers when not playing, a very big factor in rubber degradation is oxidation. No need for TT equipment vendors to do anything ...

  16. BH rubber advice

    Possibly. My understanding of Andro's markerting blurb is that the *Grip generation of rubbers is different, not better or worse, that Rasanter or the latest Rasanter Energy Cell generation. The former is really about prioritizing control and spin generation. I've played with AHG for more than 2...
  17. BH rubber advice

    Andro Hexer Powergrip would be the easiest step up from the regular AHG.
  18. Problems with dandoy.eu

  19. Problems with dandoy.eu

    It also seems to be one of the most complained about here and mytt.
