Looking for recommendations on decent Chinese rubbers that somewhat resemble European non-tacky rubbers like Xiom Vega Pro. Not for me, but it is nice to have an ok racket to lend to someone or even as a cheaper recommendation for both beginners and intermediate players. This is to be paired...

I have noticed the infographics during recent world cup events. Sometimes from the side, sometimes from behind. In this case it is shown from the side with each player name assigned (?) to one half of the table. I find it a bit confusing though, since this shows both serve and shot placement...

I noticed that one of my weak points is receiving a short right sidespin/topspin backhand serve short to my forehand. The serve is usually right sidespin with varying amount of topspin and from a right handed player. For me the easiest options so far has been to either go with the spin and get a...

Hi there, I use scissors to cut my rubbers. The result is never perfect, but it is kind of decent. Over many years, having tried all kinds of knifes (even good British surgical scalpels) I always go back to scissors. With a knife, the result is sometimes an angled edge which I hate and punching...

Hi there, I think it would be nice to recommend a decent allround blade and rubbers for people not wanting to spend a fortune on a racket. This is mostly for people having some basic technique on forehand and backhand, typically playing for on/off for some years but very often do not know how...

Hey, I am helping a left hander out with learning a better forehand drive. Right now I notice that he either crosses over in front, lifting his elbow a bit, or does not finish the stroke in front at all. I am trying to communicate that he should move the forarm from the side, perpendicular to...

Just noticed this video released by Tom Lodziak with Paul Drinkhall. As always, a good video presented by Tom with quality content. What I am unsure about, starts at 1:20. Paul mentions to take the ball "just before the top of the bounce". Does he really mean taking the ball earlier, like...

Just looking for some suggestions for decent online stores in Europe that might be able to send a table abroad (Norway). We bought a Sponeta 25 mm table from Sport Tiedje earlier, and it has been great. Unfortunately now the price is 50% higher than a year ago. I would rather use a local...

Hey, I think I want to try a Chinese rubber on my forehand for some weeks. Mostly as an experiment to see if this can positively affect my stroke, by getting more body involved on the forehand side :) I will keep a tensor on the backhand side. ! don't want to mess with, or spend a lot of time...

I recently tore off a good part of Tenergy 05 by hitting a table corner, while trying a half-long loop. Quite a sad and expensive moment, since the rubbers were just a few weeks old. Anyway, I then continued to play with a Nittaku Acoustic blade with MX-P rubbers I had lying around for a long...

I got a small dilemma with regards to measuring net height. Usually you do want to have the net as tight as possible and with the correct height. I find this impossible to achieve if you measure both at the net posts and then in the middle, there will always be a small difference? I usually...

Hey, I just watched this video recently: Which is about changing your topspin stroke for the 40+ ball. The chinese top coach talks about changing the snap from "inward, to more outward". But I do not get it, anyone care to explain? Probably pointing the elbow more forward, but I am not sure.

Bought a pair of 2.1mm Gewo Nanoflex FT40 from contra.de, they have been on sale for some time. I must say that I am very positively surprised by this rubber. Just tried it on today on a Viscaria blade and it felt really good. Actually so good that I think it might be difficult to pinpoint any...

I noticed that Buttefly has released this Free Chack Pro glue. Has anyone tried it? It is possibly thicker than the regular Free Chack, which I currently use. The regular one is quite ok and comes off easily.

Just being curious, I do not want to start another all wood vs. carbon/composite discussion. It would be interesting to know if there are any, both men and women that still use an all wood blade.

Hi, Just wondering if anyone got any experience with ordering cheap, generic replacement nets. Only the textile/plastic net itself with a drawstring, not the whole assembly. Do they usually fit net net posts from the larger manufacturers, like Sponeta, Stiga, Butterfly etc? It is a bit...

I am looking to buy a pair of these rubbers, hopefully from a reputable online store with a good turnover to avoid getting old rubbers. For the most part, I have been ordering from tabletennis11 and always got good products. I might order from that store anyway. Just ordering a pair of rubbers...

In general, what would you say that is a good timing when performing topspin shots? This is with regard to the backswing and the transition to the forward swing and finish position. Usually I think one should already be done with the recovery and swinging forward when the ball bounces on your...

Hi, Where I work and study, we might try to buy another table tennis table. I am in general used to high quality tables, but in this case we probably have to go for something cheaper because of limited funding. Our minimum requirement is that the table is ITTF approved, has wheels and is...
