advice

Hello everybody! Recently, I have had the chance to buy a Butterfly Ryu Seung Min G-Max in good condition. But then, I read that it would be more worthwhile to buy either an TSP Special Dynam 10.5 or a Butterfly Cypress G-Max. But what should I buy now?

So, basically i'm playing tt for like 4-5 years now and i'm a decent player. I want to get a new racket but i'm not sure if it would be ok for me. I was thinking about getting harimoto alc, rozena 1,9 mm backhand and stiga dna pro h 1,9 mm on my fh. I'm an attacking player fh dominant. Active...

Hello everyone, I wanted to know which blade should I go for. I'm way stronger on my forehand than my backhand. I like to topspin and loop with my forehand. I prefer blocking, short touch with my backhand. What rubber should I use for my backhand ? I would like a hard rubber and quite tacky.

Hi, all. I've been lurking for a while. I have been playing once a week for an hour or two at home or at a friends house each week for the last two years. My friend has been defeating me the majority of our games ever since he got a new racket a couple months ago. I would like to get a new...

Hi, is it worth the extra bit of money for blue sponge in H3 NEO? I'm not looking to boost it. Should I just play with the orange one, or maybe stick to the commercial? What do you think?

Hello everyone, I'm looking for some advice on Tenergy 05 Hard. I currently use the original normal 05 rubber. For those that don't know, I'm a defender who doesn't tend to chop on the forehand. I'm more close to the table attacking or when I'm further back from the table I fish or counter...

Hello! I'm not sure if hardbat gets any love on here but I have a couple questions I'd love advice with! I play with just a hardbat racket I got from Walmart, but I'm not sure if it is legal and am looking to upgrade to something approved by ITTF as well as USATT. The current one I have is from...

Hello all, I usually just lurk but made an account to ask for some equipment help. I've been using my current setup (Yinhe E-3 + Palio AK47 Red FH / Black BH) for the majority of this year and it's now wearing out. I have no problems in controlling it and I was looking to try something new to...

Rubbers: I am looking for something spinny and quite fast but not too fast. Maybe like Rasanter R50/R47 or tibhar evolution series. But I am not sure. Blade: A 5+2 ply blade under £90. Has anyone got any advice for me

Hello, I have recently gotten into TT more seriously and asked a few tips to my brother in law who is Japanese’s, he’s a club top (but old school) player. My in-laws visiting us took a present from him. He apparently plays with fast blades and Chinese rubbers. I got a present from him, a...

What went wrong?

I’ve previously made a post of me in China 2 years ago in a TT shop where I bought some DHS rubbers. I’ve now come back to the same place to check it out and the guy remembers me! He was so nice and said that he would give us a discount on the stuff we buy for our loyalty. I’m thinking of...

Looking to get into reviewing table tennis equipment and thinking of getting a slim, compact, and cheap scale for blades and rubbers. Budget is about £5. Any recommendations? AliExpress seems to have a ton of options

Hey all, I'm after some advice on upgrading my equipment. I've been playing with a Yasaka Sweden Extra penhold blade with Rakza 7 soft 2.0 mm on both sides for about 3 months now and feel fairly comfortable with it but I find that when I hit really hard the rubber bottoms out and I can feel the...
