  1. What is the best way to learn serves for kids?

    My son just recently started playing TT. He is developing fairly quickly, and now he wants to start playing games. However, he can't serve at all yet unless he just flat hits it. Since I am not a TT coach, what would like to know what is the best/correct/easiest way to learn some basic useful...
  2. Dignics 05 1.9 or 2.1?

    Hi, I am looking to buy Dignics 05 for BH for Viscaria, but not sure if I should get 1.9 or 2.1. I don't like too hard of a feeling, but want to make sure I have enough control. I have slightly faster rubber on viscaria right now, but I tried 1.9 today on Jike Super ZLC, which is a slightly...
  3. All to All+ looping blade for a child who is starting to play

    Hi, any advise on an All to All+ blade for a child who is starting to play. A couple of requirements: 1. No more than $40 2. All wood, not fast, but not super slow. 3. Weight no more than 75g 4. Preferably limba outer layer as it gives more feeling and usually limba is good for looping. 5...
  4. GEWO Nexxus EL Pro 50 or 53

    Has anyone tried GEWO Nexxus EL Pro 50 or 53? I am setting up my new Viscaria, my BH rubber is going to be EL Pro 48 which I have on my Hurricane Long 3 and very much like it, but I was looking for a good FH rubber. I previously used Rasanter R47 and liked it, but like EL Pro 48 better on my...
  5. Apolonia ZLC or Viscaria?

    Hi, I currently play with Long 3, which is an all wood blade, but want to try carbon. Butterfly handles fit my hand very well, so I've been looking at 2 blades, Apolonia ZLC and Viscaria. Thoughts and recommendations? Apolonia is similar to Innerforce Layer, and everyone knows Viscaria. I think...
  6. Zhang Jike Super ZLC Handle

    Hi Everyone, Today I fell in love for the second time in my life. I tried/played with Zhang Jike Super ZLC. The feeling, control, power, everything was amazing. The only problem is that the blade is not mine. Switching from DHS Hurricane Long 3, which is also a very good off+ but all wood...

  8. Setup for a kid just starting out.

    Hi Everyone, Wanted to get an advice on a setup for my son. He is 8, started playing recently, seems to be enjoying it and this is the only sport so far that I see him doing well at. Still at the very beginner level. Right now he is playing with Stiga Evolution pre made. So far it is fine for...
  9. Gewo Nexus EL Pro 48

    Has anyone tried Gewo Nexus EL Pro 48? I've heard its a good backhand rubber, but can't really find any good reviews.
  10. Thoughts on rubbers both FH and BH

    Hello Everyone, It is time to change rubber at least on my forehand for sure, so wanted to hear some thoughts. I have DHS Long 3 blade. I have been using Xiom Vega Pro on my FH for 8 months, and Rakza 7 on BH for 3 (Vega Pro as well before that). I am an attacking player (both smash and loop)...
  11. Anybody used Victas V15?

    Anybody used Victas V15? They have 3 versions now, Extra, Limber and Stiff if I am not mistaken. Read that the rubber is good, but most reviews on all of them are somewhat similar.
  12. Replacement for Xiom Vega Pro

    Hi, I currently have Xiom Vega Pro on both sides with DHS Hurricane Long 3 blade. I am happy with speed and control, but I think I can't generate enough spin on FH, or at least I feel like spin coming to me is a lot faster than I can generate. I had Vega Europe before, but even though it was...
  13. What is the best Glue?

    Hi All, What is the best glue that will work with just about any rubber and will allow to change rubber no problems later on? Is Chack 2 good?
  14. FH Rubber Suggestions

    Hi All, Got a new blade Hurricane Long 3 a couple of weeks ago with Xiom Vega Pro on BH and Xiom Vega Europe on FH. I love Vega Pro on BH, and liked it on FH when I tried it there. However, Vega Europe is weird. Its a bit unpredictable, even though gives you lots of spin. Control feels horrible...
  15. Blade for a child/beginner

    Hello, My 7.5 year old started playing table tennis. He is using my old paddle now, but I told him that if he makes sufficient progress in 3-6 months, we will assemble him his own paddle. A few requirements from me: Light blade. Allaround blade. All wood blade. Fairly inexpensive but quality...
  16. DHS blade authentication?

    Hi All, I just received DHS Hurricane Long 3 blade from tabletennis11.com, already assembled with rubber. The blade does not have authentication code. The paper that is in doesn't have a 12, 16 or 22 digit number on it anywhere. There is no stickers of any kind on the paddles handle either. How...
  17. Choosing new blade

    Hi All, I am choosing a new blade that I want to stick with for a long time. Narrowed it down to DHS Hurricane Long 3, Carbonado 245, Viscaria and Timo Boll ALC. I am leaning towards Long 3 or Carbonado 245. Thoughts?
