Hi I put out registration of interest for table tennis at my school. I am a high school teacher. There's no table tennis player at my school. To my surprise, 6 kids turned up at our first meeting. One of our regional coaches are visiting us every two weeks to coach the kids. I am sourcing...

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...

Hello, I am an average to good recreational player in search for a new custom blade and would like some help in making a decision. I have been using for the past years a YINHE N9 with a Gambler Reflectoid on FH and a DHS PF4 on BH. The paddle is pretty worn out and since I experimented a bit...

Hi, I am new to the forum. I am a beginner/intermediate level penhold player. My blade is a CS Butterfly Firehand. I currently have H3 on my forehand and Skyline 3 TG on my rpb backhand. My rpb is not great yet, but I am trying to find a good rubber to learn the rpb stroke better. I recently...

Hello I'm going to change my bh from sp to inverted because I think it makes a lot of confusion whether to loop or flat hit so it slows down my development. I use a 6.4 mm thick clipper like 7 ply all-wood blade rated "OFF". I'd like something a little bit slower but still stiff enough for...

Using Spectol Red 1.8mm on bh since new year, some good results and I know this is not what they are primarily used for. However does anyone have any advice or video of how to loop correctly with them just off the table against chop, top and nothing? I know Patrick from TT11 blog often mentions...

Hi Guys, as a left handed shakehand player that is FH dominate but with a good and consistent BH loop and BH+FH flick, I was wondering what tactics to use against right handed players in a singles match. I only have a few basic tactics to use to set up the 3rd ball but experience players tend...

hey! So I'm kinda new here and I haven't even done an introduction post yet since I don't really know how this works all too well but I'll just get this post done before I forget about it completely. I have started training in mid 2018 but I have played for a few years before that, and although...

So I've taken a few videos of some of my decent serves a day ago, and I've sent them to the Table Tennis Subreddit, along with the Table Tennis Discord Server. Different angle of view at 1:20 Slo-mo at 2:09 Any advice on how I can improve my serve farther is greatly appreciated. So far, I...

I play a mostly backhand oriented game. I would say my level is about intermediate. I am currently using Sriver in Max and Sriver FX in 2.1. I would like to change for something a bit faster and spinner without losing much control. Some of the rubbers in my mind are Rozena (On sale for a great...

I'm currently using rakza 7 and I'm looking for a medium to hard rubber that is spinnier than my current one. The speed is good, but I'm fine if it's a bit faster, but definitely not slower. Here are some rubbers that I'm interested in. 1. Tibhar MX-S 2. Tibhar MX-P 3. Xiom omega vii pro 3...

...i have taken my decisions about the blade and the BH rubber and i need help about the FH rubber. Avalox P-500 with Joola Phyzm-P for my BH. My current set-up is: Stiga Off Classic with Joola Phyzm-P for FH with Maxxx-P for BH. My playing style is: i am FH dominant player,i like to open-up...

Hi so ive been playing more seriously for 6 months now and recently started attending training at a local club with intentions to join the league in September later this year. Im currently using a half decent pre made bat however I wonder if its worth now getting a custom bat with my choice of...

Starting in tabble tennis Hey guys, I want to start practicing table tennis and I'm wondering what would be the best rubbers and blades to start. I was seeing the Rakza 9 for my FH and Xtend HS for my BH, both from Yasaka and a DHS Wind SR-A blade. I'd like to have a speed+spin on my FH and a...

Hi Guys I was wondering if you could give me your opinion on the Friendship 729 Focus 3 Snipe and Yinhe MC-2? Should I use them together and if not, what should I use instead? Also should I boost it? I wanted to buy a cheap Chinese bat Also what are the different clones that Yinhe and other...

Bat for intermediate player Hi, I'd like to have some thoughts on the new bat I'd like to buy. I'm an attacker/allround oriented player and I'm trying to transition from a beginner setup to a new one without buying something that's too fast. FH and BH : Xiom Vega Pro Blade : Butterfly...

Hey folks, im looking to replace my sunnysix7 fh rubber for the time being. The sunnysix7 is pretty much a hurricane 3 national rubber and very tacky. I have two main reasons to replace them: 1. I am too lazy to boost them 2. i need sth that is easier to smash with while i love the topspin...

I am currently using Butterfly Rozena rubbers on both sides of a DHS 301. I use the backhand a lot to block, flick, push and loop and the rozena is great. My forehand is more limited and I can only loop and my drive and short game is weak. I am due to replace my rubbers and would like to try a...
