Thanks for all the replies. They were all really helpful. I’m going to go forward with my plan and I’m going to give it a go. I believe the change in playstyle could give me some more fun and variation in the game. And it could help me to stay at a decent level, even as I get older and slower...

Hi all. I’m table tennis player from Europe who is playing for +-20 years. Its hard to convert my rating to USATT but I’m pretty sure it’s above 2000. My play style is pretty offensive, my game is centered around my serve and heavy spin. I mainly win points with my serve and third ball...

I know someone with a similar play style as you. He plays with a butterfly tackiness C on backhand and joola express ultra short pips on forehand.

Hi Jurgen, I took a look at your results and rating on the website of the Belgian table tennis federation. I don’t think tenergy 05 is the right choice for your play style and level. A blade in the allround category and more forgiving rubbers would be a better choice. As some people suggested...

Too early to tell.These are pictures of my rubbers after approximately 25 hours of play against a robot. As you can see there are already some obvious wear marks. The discolorations on the red rubber already happened after a few hours of play. I guess it happened because I have the bad habit of...

Counter looping consistently with FH and BH in a match situation is super advanced. I don't know any intermediate player who does that. Even the best players from the clubs I play in just block or punch most of the time. Consistent high quality loop against loop rallies in matches are quite...

Not my experience. A big majority of the intermediate players I know play with an allwood blade. And rightly so, a flexible allwood blade is a lot easier to handle than a stiff carbon blade for most players.

I think you will play just fine with any of the rubbers you mentioned. I would just choose the one with the biggest discount.

5 out of 5 rating for Sweden Extra Well, after buying and playing with multiple fast expensive blades like Viscaria, Vega Pro and Liu Shiwen I wanted to know how I would play with the cheapest blade I could find. I played three league matches with it and I came to the conclusion that I play...

I'll share my experience about "downgrading": I'm playing table tennis for about 15 years. I have no USATT-rating since I play in Belgium but it should be more than 2000 according to various sources.The last 5 years I have played with a Butterfly Liu Shiwen blade and a Xiom Vega Pro blade. I...

Yeah, your question is kind of pointless. You already bought a setup and you ask us what we think of it. Maybe you could play with your new set-up and see for yourself? Bye.

Yes, I did. Oh well, I’ll keep it. Maybe one day I will like light blades.

He will be fine with such a setup. Maybe take a non-tacky rubber for his backhand instead of the Hurricane 3. Rubbers that come to my mind are Xiom Vega Intro or Yasaka Mark V. Every table tennis brand has entry-level rubbers so you'll have plenty of choice.

Your blade is quite fast for a beginner. If your setup is too fast you can glue the xiom rubbers on your yinhe blade. That should be a more controllable setup for a beginner.

Looks real to me. I ordered A Viscaria from the butterfly webshop a month ago and it looks identical. It only weighs 78 grams though and the performance dissapoints. My next blade will not be a butterfly blade.

I never experienced any problems with shop-ping.be. According to my experiences, shop-ping is a reliable provider of table tennis equipment.

Maybe Tibhar evolution mx-s? It has approximately the same hardness as the R47 but is more controllable. It is an easy rubber for safely opening up against heavy backspin, blocking and short game. Risk of the rubber is that it is also not very forgiving when your stance or movement is not...

Okay, so I couldn't resist to buy a dignics 05 because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I tried it today on a Xiom vega Pro Blade. I'll try to answer some questions about it. Is it a good rubber? Yes, definitely. I used it on my backhand today and I am very pleased with the...

Good advice and of course you are right if you say that his coach is in the best position to give advice on equipment. Maybe there is a legitimate reason to tell a pupil to take two Tenergy 64 rubbers but I have never heard a good coach tell something like this. Sometimes a coach here gives a...
