As Lazer said, there are plenty of cheaper options that are easily accessible to you. But..... I'm a Butterfly man. I use the brand, just because I like it, and always have done! I would use the Korbel rather than the Primorac - Your strokes look good enough that you'll be happier with the...

Firstly - THANK YOU, for posting a video. I will continue to say this until I'm dead, but it makes such a big difference being able to see the person you are supposed to be giving advice too! OK, some thoughts from me..... You are better than I thought you'd be (based on your own...

From memory (and looking at the flight of others who use it), I would say that FX is slightly lower, but there really isn't that much in it. I feel FX is a touch slower as well, which contributes to the lower arc.

For anyone else reading this, and wondering quite how good this is..... Let me try and explain. Now, this is based on first hand experience of other juniors around this ranking - I don't know Jamie personally. Typically, juniors will have learnt an all out offensive game. They will *look*...

I think this very thread will highlight that "best" is very personal, and whilst it may be "best" to you, it won't be to others. I use 09c on my Forehand - I think it's "best" for me (offers more control, spin and touch than D05 for example). Is it the "best" rubber for everyone? No. Not even...

If I had to guess..... Most pros use D05 and before that T05. It feels like the "05" rubber is considered the "best" - Not many people used T80 and I've not seen much fanfare for D80 (other than you saying you like it! 😂) It's also expensive to "try" Dignics if you aren't sure you'll like...

I've already answered this in other threads, but for ease.... Tenergy 05: • Easier to generate spin on slower shots (good if you have a slower arm speed or find yourself out of position a lot. • Softer sponge, but it's not an issue after some practice. • Bouncier and more spin responsive -...

I love the typo there, but I assume you mean spin? 😂 T05 can produce tons of spin on slow shots, passive shots, and shots where you are out of position. For *most* people who don't play at a high level, but want to produce lots of spin, this will be better than Dignics. Dignics 05 has a...

😂 He looks like how I imagine every internet table tennis troll! Also.... and I mean no disrespect.... But that other guy does not look like a 2215 rated player...... (I know I know..... videos can be deceptive!)

Table Tennis is one of those sports where watching YouTube videos can broaden your knowledge on things, but there is no substitute for hands on 1 to 1 coaching. The only reason I can watch TT videos and actually learn some things, is because I've had years of 1 to 1 coaching as a junior, 20...

Ahhhh the Backhand, the single most important stroke in "non professional" Table Tennis in my opinion. Why? Because *most* people learn a decent forehand if they play for long enough, and it's usually the side they are most comfortable on from the outset. But.... Even at the higher levels, I...

What level are you playing at? Tenergy 05 offers far easier spin than Dignics 09C or Dignics 05. What don’t you like about Tenergy 05?

Looks like the Meteor Liu Xing blade. If there’s anything I’ve learnt on the internet….. There’s always someone willing to buy something! I shouldn’t think you’d get much for it though.

I feel like half of my posts are the same, boring advice…. So please excuse the repetition 😂 There seems to be some kind of unwritten rule that says you can’t possibly want to buy new stuff…. Just because you want to. It seems that people feel the need to justify a new purchase (to...

Hey, welcome to the forum 😃 Do you have any video of you playing? Even 10 seconds of forehands/backhands is usually a good enough picture! It sounds like the Viscaria/Tenergy combo is too fast, and this isn’t surprising as it was the main set up of many professional players! My...

Is that US rating or Ukrainian (based on your flag)?

Hey @7sagittarius7, Which part surprised you? As I've said before, I don't know the USTT rating system very well, other than "2000" is the benchmark for a "good" player. If you are playing in the top league in the UK, I'd guess that you'd *probably* be rated at 2000 or above - But it's very...

I've realised that as someone who is allowed to comment, I've not posted footage in a while! Pretty sure this video has been posted before, but I've taken a few years off from the forum! This is from "Pre Covid" days - I'm the man giant in red! Some caveats...... • I'm 6ft 4 and 290 lbs...

In fairness, I recognised the name of the guy in black, and knew he had (or, has had) a solid 2000+ rating. I guess the better question here would have been..... "Based on this video..... what does their rating look like?" Perhaps that video does not showcase their skills, but that's all...

Have you played against pips much? It looks like the guy in white has them on one side at least, and this is why it doesn't look like there is much spin. The guy in black (blue?), is serving long and "fairly flat" - The idea with a serve like that is against pips is to get a long/medium long...
