Hi everybody. My club is seriously considering buying a table tennis robot. Does anyone expect difficulties with the introduction of the new balls? Will the robots be able to handle them well? In addition, has anyone got experience with the Donic 'Newgy' 2050 robot or with the Tibhar Robopro...

It would be extremely great if someone could provide subtitles for this documentary. If you don't know how to add them to youtube, just put them in a word or wordpad or any filetype you want, and I'll put them onto the video... Especially the service parts would be great to get translated!

Hello there Below you can see a video of myself (in grey shirt) warming up my topspin forehand. It is my favourite stroke and although I'm working hard on my backhand all the time, I tend to rely and depend on the topspin FH to win the point/match. Therefore, I can't afford to neglect my FH...

Hi there I wonder what you guys would recommend as a good alternative for the BTY 05fx rubber. It doesn't feel ultrasoft to me, so has anyone any idea where it would be situated in rubber hardness compared to the other brands. For example, if I would like to substitute it with Rakza 7, Hexer...

Hi everyone I can't decide on my next rubber setup. (you can see my current setup in my signature...) Offensive Rubbers (for FH): ------------------ Stiga Calibra LT Vs Yasaka Rakza 7 Vs Donic Acuda S1 Vs Andro Hexer + Vs Xiom Sigma Vs Joola Phenix Defensive / allround rubbers (for BH block...

Hi everyone Yesterdaynight something terrible happened during training... I totally destroyed my 1-month old long-anticipated and well loved Timo Boll ZLC blade by counterlooping... against the table next to me (instead of the ball...) :( As my wife will surely disagree with me concerning...

Hi everyone I came upon this Estonian site: http://www.tabletennis11.com/ They have really exciting prices, some even half normal price (like stiga Ebenholz at around 50€, or Xiom Zetro Quad at around 50€). All other prices being at least 10-20 % lower than average. So I start wondering...

Hi everyone I would very much like a decent review for this Shifter Rubber. Has anyone tried it? What about the 0° Vs 90° application (you can choose how to apply the rubber to your blade according to pimple-inclination) Thanx in advance...

Hi everybody A few years ago I was ready to change to Waterbased Glue due to the speed-glue ban. I bought myself some Tensor Rubbers and applied Waterbased glue, but I found these rubbers too slow. The next step was boosting, but with the 3Days or at least 24 hours - in advance - boosting, I...

Hi folks I came upon these documentaries on youtube. One of them featuring Michael Maze and the other one featuring Jun Mizutani. Now, I speak Dutch, French, English, German and a little bit of Latin, Greek & Spanish, but I really don't understand a word of Danish nor Japanese... Can someone...

Hi there I've been struggling last weekend during competition. I lost a match against a much worse player then myself, because I couldn't handle his service. The guy just used his forehand to do a kind of drive - dead spin - service extremely deep into my FH or BH and I couldn't predict where...

Hi Just recently I had a (friendly) discussion with an opponent, who stepped in close to the table and started waving his hands wildly as I was to smash down a very high ball. My point of view was that this was uncalled for, AND that an official referee would probably at least issue out a...

Since we've been discussing the stamping thing, another item popped up in my head: If a player sighs/grunts/shouts/curses during a rally, is that legal? Some examples: 1. A player curses because he thinks he mis-hit the ball, yet the ball still lands on the table. 2. A player shouts out...

This is my new blade. I love it, and I think anyone should try it! Just have a look...

Hi everyone I just wondered if you put a layer of varnish / VOC-free sealing onto your blade, will it alter its performance? What about layering up a hypothetical 15 layers, would it change the specs of your blade's outer ply? It seems logical the feel of the outer ply would be...

Hi everyone I just got the Idea to give an overview of the different wood-types and what they do to a blade. If you have any remarks, please let me know. 1. Balsa: Forest tree of lowland Central America As it is low-density but high in strength, balsa is a very popular material to use when...

Hi everyone I'm looking for someone who has played this Giant Dragon TopEnergy rubber (or the soft version). Is it good enough to replace (or nearly replace) Butterfly Tenergy? At 20 euros a piece, it's worth while looking into... Is it Asian Tacky, or does it feel more European? Thanks for...

Has anyone got any information on this rubber? Can't find anything anywhere! I only know it exists (or is being manufactured as we speak) Thank you in advance...

Before I begin, I must say I have never done any reviewing before, so please forgive my noobiness on the subject. First some general info: Name: Tibhar Aurus Sound Price: € 36.90 (Which is cheaper than the 'older' Genius Optimum+ Sound and Primus at €41,90, and the new Tibhar IQ at €46.90)...
