  1. Is tt-shop.com legit?

    It's a great site and you can choose different shipping options depending on how fast you want the items. Just beware though, especially if you order a large quantity of things, that your own border customs might charge you import duty. That can wipe out all the savings you've made. Small...
  2. I’m qualifying for the English nationals help

    What are these English Nationals you’re referring to? When/where are they?
  3. Stiga quality

    In that case try contacting Stiga direct and asking who they recommend or you could try www.thorntonstabletennis.co.uk. They're the UK Stiga distributor and very good. I highly recommend them but you'd need to check that they ship to Portugal.
  4. Stiga quality

    That was my problem. Dandoy didn't respond when I had the issue. I then went directly to Stiga and they stepped in and made Dandoy sort it. I wouldn't recommend Dandoy as a result. Look for a reputable Stiga supplier in your country. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Stiga quality

    We'd bought the Infinity from Dandoy in France. When the blade delaminated I contacted them but could get no response so I contacted Stiga directly. Stiga acted instantly and got Dandoy to send a replacement without further delay. They even sent us a Stiga shirt and socks as an apology. Any...
  6. Stiga quality

    We had an Infinity which delaminated and was replaced under warranty. The replacement has been faultless. Other blades we have: Eternity, Carnonado's 145, 190 and 90 have been fine too. My son uses Mantra M as part of a sponsorship deal and loves the performance but they are very fragile. They...
  7. Hello from Sunny Somerset

    Hi Darren, At Cleeve and Banwell you will find a gentlemen by the name of Mike Withyman. Mike was Somerset TT Chairman for many years and knows every person and club in the county. Have a chat with him about your plans and he can tell you exactly what your options are. From what I understand...
  8. Hello from Sunny Somerset

    Hi Darren, Have you sorted out a club yet? If not, PM me and I'll give you some contact details of people from the Somerset leagues that can point you in the right direction. You are probably closest to the Mendip league but there are also active leagues in Bridgwater, Yeovil and Taunton that...
  9. How to change to new equipment

    His only complaint so far was he thought it felt a bit too light at the start. The 145/Evo set up is 195g whereas the Eternity/Genesis combo is 185g. It could partly be because we were asked to try 2.0mm rubbers first whereas the Evolution rubbers are max. He's always had a preference for...
  10. How to change to new equipment

    It's because I made a hash of it last time that I'm being a lot more cautious this time. Last time I listened to your advice but I always seem to learn better the hard way! :D TBH we knew all along the 145 wasn't the perfect blade but it was better for him than the Infinity. When the Eternity...
  11. How to change to new equipment

    Thanks Tryzerlol, the challenge is there is always a tournament coming up. As it's the last week of the school holiday he's going to use that time to practice with it loads and them compete with it at the weekend but hopefully by then he'll be much more used to it.
  12. How to change to new equipment

    Thanks TTHopeful, he trained with the new set up yesterday. Interestingly it's in the short game he found it trickiest to start with.
  13. How to change to new equipment

    Advice needed on how to transition to a new bat My son has just turned 11. He has been using a Carbonado 145 with Evolution rubbers (MXS/FXP). He has got on well with it (won the u11 nationals using it) but has hankered after the control his old Infinity had. He just found the Infinity far too...
  14. Ask ITTF President Thomas Weikert a question on the TTD podcast!

    All sports are dependent on external sponsorship to grow and thrive. Table Tennis is a massive international sport and yet operates and presents it's biggest events like a much smaller, obscure sport. The presentation quality of the TT world championships is put to shame by even English county...
  15. Review of the STIGA Genesis Rubber

    For someone considering new Stiga rubbers, but who is more used to the Tibhar Evolution type, would it be wiser to wait for reviews on the Mantra before deciding? Are they more likely to be a closer match?
  16. Tabletennisdb

    The site is fine. I was looking on it earlier today. It could be an issue from your country or with your isp but it's definitely not the site.
  17. TT Japan

    Theoretically you could be charged by customs but the reality is it doesn't happen. At least, it's never happened to me and I've been buying from overseas for years - since the heyday of region 1 DVD's. The admin overhead for trying to tax every little package entering the UK would be...
  18. TT Japan

    Yes. I've used tt-japan.net lots of times and I really can't fault them. Their prices are superb and you can buy and pay in sterling so you don't ever get a nasty currency conversion surprise. You do have to watch the impact of postage on the overall price though. Best to try and order several...
  19. fake or not?

    A lot of fake stuff on Ali express. If you ask a vendor up front they will say whether it's genuine or not. The Chinese have a very different mindset when it comes to copying. We are conditioned (by big companies trying to protect profits mostly) that copying anything that is theirs is theft. In...
