  1. Evolution of rubbers

    Tenergy 05 revolutionized the sport of table tennis. Then came the Dignics series. Andro, Yasaka, Tibhar, and others followed. There are options ranging from soft to hard rubbers, and from tacky to non-tacky surfaces. Have we reached the end of the road when it comes to rubbers? Personally, I...
  2. Stable All+/Off- setup

    I'm looking for a table tennis racket that is forgiving in offensive shots but stable in blocking play. I had the Virtuoso Plus together with Tenergy 19 and Dynaryz ACC. It felt too fast for offensive shots. I switched to an All+ (Inzone Columbia All+). It felt good for offensive shots but too...
  3. Soft rubber for backhand

    Looking for a soft backhand rubber on my Cybershape Clipper. Tried Stiga platinum m - too hard. Tried Fastarc c-1 - better control, but didn't like the "woody" feeling which I think is due to rubber thickness (2.0mm). I really like the feeling of the ball sinking into the rubber. My backhand...
  4. Shoes with good floor contact?

    I am looking for new shoes. Tried Stiga Liner 3 and Mizuno wave drive 8. Sold both as they did not feel comfortable. Too stiff and clumsy and did not sense the contact with the floor. So now I'm using my adidas adizeros as they feel better and lighter, but the grip is not good and the lateral...
  5. Serve tactics

    Hello all, It doesn't help to serve a mega-spinny serve if you're not ready to handle the spin you get back, right? I realized that now and have started to serve less/no spin serves more often which gives me more predictable returns to attack, I understand that everything is dependent on the...
  6. Overwhelmed

    Hello, any tips on how to organize one's mind when trying to develop to a better tt player. I read a lot about teqnique and tactics, but every time I go to practice I just play the way I always done. For example, I use to think, "this practice, I must remember to reset my stance quicker after my...
  7. Acoustic 82g vs 90g?

    Hello, I recently bought an Acoustic-blade and was surprised by its low weight, 82g. Some years ago I had an Acoustic that felt much more stable and punchy, as I can remember. I may remember wrong but I think its weight was around 90g.The current one feels much more hollow which I dislike. Is...
  8. Serve strategy

    I'm interested in hearing about your serving strategies. I use 5-6 different serves but rarely have a plan for how to follow up the game. Are there any general principles that can help me develop more control over the serve and return game? Any advice much appreciated.
  9. Wood vs Composite and rubber combinations

    All-wood (sweden extra, osp expert etc) with hard rubbers (>48, Rasanter r48, dignics 80 etc) or composite (e.g. Viscaria) with softer rubbers (<45, Rasanter r45, Tenergy 05fx). What differences can I expect from these two combinations? Which combination is more balanced in terms of speed, spin...
  10. Allround/Allround+ blade?

    Hello! After testing around with different blades (Stiga carbonado 45, Nittaku Acoustic) I think I've found what I want. I've borrowed and been practising with the Stiga Allround Classic for two weeks and it feels almost perfect with my tenergy 05 (fh) and Rakza 7 (bh). So much more consistent...
  11. Stiga clipper wood vs Stiga carbonado 45

    Hello, My first post, so be gentle with me ;) ​​​​​I'm thinking of selling my carbonado 45 and buying the clipper wood. Can anyone describe the difference between the two in terms of feel, control and speed?
