  1. Why does this happen when gluing?

    i clean my blade well and made sure there’s no old glue. clumps appear 5 seconds into swiping the glue. often i didn’t even have enough time to cover all areas before it starts clumping up.
  2. Why does this happen when gluing?

    hi guys. i’ve tried two glues, haifu and dhs15 but somehow this problem still persists. gluing rubber is easy peasy but the blade, the glue always clumps up. am i not using enough? using too much? i’m using sponges provided with the glue, and gluing at a place that has no ventilation and no wind.
  3. Does rainy weather cause change in rubber performance ?

    Hi everyone, i play table tennis on the porch outside my house and there’s something i notice happening persistently every time it rains. When i play during rainy days, it feels like my rubber is very slippery and has no grip at all, balls that i could normally loop up just can’t seem to be done...

    all i needed to hear. thank you
  5. I am in deep deep dilemma

    i just need you all opinions on whether i should still switch to the rakza and adapt to it since it is realistically a better rubber than the ak47 and worth using
  6. I am in deep deep dilemma

  7. I am in deep deep dilemma

    You guys remember i said i didn’t like the palio ak47’s? i eventually settled on buying rakza 7’s to replace the ak47’s. After ordering and waiting for my rakza’s to arrive, i developed really good feeling with the ak47’s, being able to topspin like i never was able to, backhand punch when i...
  8. Why Lin Yun Ju Losing Lately?

    I am a big fan of LYJ but recently he isnt winning against these top players which he was easily doing and named the silent assassin. why is that? i’m not a pro, just a beginner so i was hoping i can get some pretty detailed explanation.
  9. Moaning

    I tend to make some subtle groans too when using a lot of power to hit a shot. i’m not doing it intentionally and i guess it’s just natural and almost like giving urself an extra umph of power.
  10. First blade for begginer

    i would recommend sending a short clip of yourself playing to moderator Carl and let him analyze your level and your strokes and he will give you a list of blades that are suitable for you. This is way more effective and accurate than describing with words and letting the experts here recommend...

  12. i need explanation

    thank you everyone for your reply. i have decided i will put rakza 7 on my TSPW and stick with it for as long as i can, hopefully without damaging my blade too much that i’ll have to change to a new one. my next problem will be gluing the rubber which i have struggled with even after many videos...
  13. i need explanation

    i don’t see the need to record a video when i feel like this can be answered through “knowledge?” i’m doing the same stroke pattern and strength for both blades. however the pg5 flies out instead. just wanna know if it would be the same thing if i put the rakza on the tibhar since it’s not a...
  14. i need explanation

    what will happen if i put the rakza on my tibhar then?
  15. i need explanation

    i used a dhs pg5 with rakza 7 and is currently playing with a tibhar stratus power wood with palio ak47. when i picked up the pg5 again, all my shots went flying off the table, even with a soft hit. is this the high throw of rakza or carbon blade just tends to be more bouncy?
  16. Help me decide on a rubber (final)

    so the final decision is to buy a new set of rakza 7’s yes?
  17. Help me decide on a rubber (final)

    i know they aren’t much of an upgrade but i just can’t bring myself to remove the rakza 7’s from my old blade. i feel like letting the old blade be would feel better. so i’m considering new rubbers for this NEW blade which is the tibhar. do you think the best decision is to buy rakza 7’s again?
