Table tennis dream equipment

Joe141 · Mar 25, 2019

Hi all, just interested to see the responses to the following:
You have £600 to spend on all the table tennis equipment needed for yourself if you trained about 4 times a week, go ahead and splash the virtual cash on whatever you want! ( includes clothing, bat and case,but doesn’t include tables/ robots)
Have fun!!

Avalox p700, Waran short pips and 25 spare vega pros for the next 10 years

Nittaku Acoustic and Acoustic Inner along with some version(s) of Tenergy rubber.

Jersey autographed by Joo Sae Hyuk. That should do it, I can cover the rest of equipment out of pocket.

100 sets of generic paddles from Walmart for my friends.

Maybe the shirt of RSM and the shorts of YSH. Why do South Korea produce the coolest players?

A Banda waldner blade with his autograph?

I would hire a personal coach until the money runs out.

FruitLoop · Mar 26, 2019

If it has to be equipment, £600 worth of my current rubbers. I would imagine this would be most non EJ's answer. Because they probably have everything else they need!

If it can be anything then definitely £600 on one to one coaching. That would be 30 hours. Nothing will improve you faster or more efficiently than that.

won't change my blade but would try the Dignics80 for my FH, and spend the change with coaching lessons

lasta · Mar 26, 2019

600 may not be enough, but I would try to buy as many representative blade composition/constructions categories so I know what every "type" feels like. Call me an intellectual EJ.

I'd hire Ma Long as a coach.

Nah, if you're going this way, Liu Guoliang or Kong Linghui would be a better choice.

RidTheKid · Mar 26, 2019

Yes, perhaps from a learning perspective but seeing as Ma Long is my favorite PERFORMER I'd like to get a TT lesson from him

Two pieces of Xiom Vega Tour blade, three sets of Xiom Omega7Asia and three sets of Xiom Omega7Tour.

£600 is about 700€. Sorry 500€. Sorry 600€. Sorry 550€. Sorry 650€. Sorry 800€. Sorry 700€. (yeah, that was a bad brexit joke). Let's keep it at roughly 700€.

Easy:
- Blade: Stiga Nostalgic Offensive (~70€)
- FH: Stiga Mantra M (~40€)
- BH: Yasaka Rakza 7 (~35€)

(yeah, that's my setup obviously)

which makes it about 140€ a racket. Now wait for it... x2! You never want to destroy one of your rubbers during a competition and be forced to forfeit (or continue in subpar conditions that will put more load on your willpower).
That makes it 280€ and I still have 420 to spare.

Let's spend about 20€ on a case to make it a round number again.

Now I definitely want at least a full set of clothes for each practice.
I'm counting about 70€ for a shorts + shirt set which makes it 280€ give or take.

I've still got 120€ to spare on a tracksuit and a pair of shoes. I'd wait for discounts and could probably fit quite fine in the original 700€ budget.

I wonder which of the current crop will make the best coach? Best player doesn't always mean best coach but given his playstyle, careee and what I know about his personality my bets would be on Ma Long.

If I had 600£ (About 800 dollars) to spend on table tennis equipment, I’d buy:
• Acoustic Carbon
• 2 Fastarcs G-1
• 2 Mantra M
• 100 pack of DHS balls
• Mizuno Wave Drive 8 shoes
• Shirts and shorts

That’d be about 550$.
I’d probably buy more rubbers then ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ
