wow seams really like a high praise by many members for that sueke no.2! then i need to check that out. i just don’t know what i should do with 260 ml :D but nobody tried that new “Pro” glues by andro, tibhar and donic? they say this new glue formula makes the rubber more elastic and gives more...

you can try to either take the ball at the highest point and go more through the ball, that is what i mostly do and this results in the most winning points, but can sometimes go into the net if you misjudge the spin or timing (dependend on the quality of your opponent). or play it safe and spin...

so tacky rubber is better then a grippy one and thinner is also better. nice :) but would you also suggest getting a harder one?

for me personally it matters more the overall composition of the blade. you can have outer carbon blades (mostly hard) that ‘hold the ball’ and innerforce blades (mostly soft) that don’t and are more responsive. i don’t know how they do it, maybe it is more about how stiff the blade is, maybe...

hey everyone, one of my clubmates plays an untypical defensive game with two inverted rubbers and i wanna help her find the best solution. since here most people ask about offensive equipment made for pros i wanted to open a new thread for intermediate defensive players playing with grippy/tacky...

wow this was an amazing game!

for me the colour doesn't matter too. what messes with me more if i trained on a stop table but play the match on a slide table. sometimes you don't know this before and then it takes a lot of time for me to get the feel for it. sometimes i even need to change tactics.

'all over the world' is a big generalization. i would say it could be just a country / cultural difference, because in germany the tables usually are getting cleaned before a matchday and therefore a lot of people doing this 'touch the table' routine. i would not play a match on a table with...

no offense, but that says more about where and with whom you play than about the habit itself

i was teached the same by my coach. you will always have a forwardmotion in a topspinstroke, but against underspin it is from down to up coming from the legs and against nospin it is more from behind. the more underspin the more up you go, but you need always a forward momentum to give the ball...

since the price updates over the last years i would say yes, tenergy is a good choice again. but something like dignic 09c? that is some money making tool for me

i noticed the same and sometimes when i play against people and see their paddle first and think: "wow they play with viscaria super alc and dignics 05 both sides? oh shit they must be super good" and then i start warmup with them and they can't get more then 5 balls on the table i am seriously...

i also do it, i get really sweaty hands while playing and since you can only get a towelbreak after every six points, it helps. then at one point it became a calming mental thing and now i do it even without sweating :D

yes that is true, we have the luxury that many TT brands are coming from germany, so maybe in countrys where you don't have tt shops and are only able to buy online there will be not much difference between butterfly and tibhar except for the price

but i think that is so sad, because tabletennis is such a niche sport and most companys invest in clubs, sponsor players or even tournaments, so there really connected to the scene. while butterfly is doing this weird marketing strategy of beeing super exclusive and disconnected.

i was actually kinda shocked when i registered to this forum and saw how many people play or praise butterfly or DHS, because that is really uncommon in germany. here you have the opposite and the most played companys are andro and tibhar

that is true, a lot of tt shops in germany don't sell butterfly, or when they do then not officially and just 'behind the curtains', because butterfly has a really restricted selling policy. i don't know many people playing butterfly in germany and when you do see one then there mostly full...

for me it plays like a slower viscaria with a higher throw, but feeling wise it is so different, because it feels really soft compared to viscaria and has a lot less vibrations. it also has a really fast rebound and therefore plays like an outer carbon blade with the forgiveness and feel like an...

that is correct, you need to start that habit even during warmup and it will take some time getting used to. i think the second drill i wrote is the easiest to adapt and gives fastest result when you start that drill with serve and receive based on my own experience.

i would decide purely based on the handle. is it comfortable in your hands and do you have a good grip? you will need to change feeling anyhow by changing from a slow flexible 5ply to a rather fast and stiff 7 ply. try it in a shop or try someone elses bat. personally i like the handle of...
