change

My coach has suggested that I use a lower more relaxed neutral grip. He wants the V between my thumb and forefinger to be lower down the handle. When I do this my thumb isn’t on the rubber and my forefinger just about is, admittedly I have small hands. I’ve been testing this out for a few weeks...

Curious how people adjust their tactics or playstyle as your fitness wears down over the course of a day or tournament. My first coach Brian Pace used to say 'your technique breaks down when your fitnes breaks down.' This is definitely true for me. I play a very standard looping game, and...

should i change my rubber after 5 month of using ? or just reglue it?

Hey guys! I just joined the forum, however, I used my Facebook account to register which has made my username that of my real name. I'd prefer to change it but I just cant seem to see the setting to change it. Could anyone help me? Thanks,

Hi everyone, I'm playing table tennis for 2 years with euro/jap rubber (sriver, tenergie and now mx-p) and now I want to test something different. What rubber do you think is the easiest to adapt without booster? I thought in something like yinhe big dipper in 38 degress. All sugestions will...

Hello, everyone. Long ago, I bought the stiga pro carbon, but with the passage of time, I changed the rubber (Cornilleau, Donic, DHS, etc.) Now I have a question, is it a good idea to continue using this blade? (It is Stiga, 5 layers of balsa wood and 2 layers of carbon). What should I change...

Greetings, I am playing with stiga infinity for 1 year.I think that this blade has a very good control but i think its also slow for me. I am thinking to go in a butterfly viscaria,I have tried and its fine for my FH shots. But I am playing an offensive pimple in my BH and I dont know if...

Hello everyone. I'm new here. I hope you can give me a hand with this. After some years without playing, I want to start again. I used to own a Joola K5 blade with Sriver rubbers but unfortunately the blade cracked. My idea now is keeping the rubbers which are in excellent condition and...

Hey guys Just wanted to know how often does table tennis 11 change its 4 for 3 rubbers special? Thanks

Advice needed on how to transition to a new bat My son has just turned 11. He has been using a Carbonado 145 with Evolution rubbers (MXS/FXP). He has got on well with it (won the u11 nationals using it) but has hankered after the control his old Infinity had. He just found the Infinity far too...

these people are too stubborn. my older sister (Joanna Song) plays with anti spin and holds the paddle wrong (half seemiller, half shakehand), and is basically a blocker/smasher. She's been around the same level (1600~) for years. I keep telling her to change to a normal setup, or at least long...

Anyone who has seen my play a year ago would conclude that Der_Echte REALLY liked opening up real heavy on BH then playing out the point. (if opponent could handle the surprise spin) I have only become recently aware, that when anyone gives me an underspin, my immediate reaction to it is to...

Hi Everyone!, I tend to play table tennis 1-2 times a week. When i do play, it is from 3-4 hours each time as that is the only time i can play. With these playing hours, on average, how often should i change my table tennis rubber. For example, i have been playing with my rubber since...

The dust has now settled on the 2016 World Championships. There were some great matches and fantastic rallies to enjoy. However, there was one big disappointment:A lack of spectators. With the exception of the final (5,000 Chinese made the trip) there was hardly anybody watching in the...

After 2 years of training, I impoved a lot and now I play in Division 1 of my local league instead of division 3. But somehow I felt my backhand has always been my weakness and it stopped me from improving further. I have spent a lot of time practicing Penhold reverse backhand. I use RPB...

So I change my equipment a LOT. My stroke doesn't change much between the change in different blades or rubbers. Adjusting to new equipment takes about 1 hour MAX for me. Anyway, i have a friend who used 1.8 thickness bluefire jp03 on both sides of his blade. He decided to test out tenergy for...

Hi, this is my first post after being recommended this forum by my friend. I have been playing table tennis for 1.5 years casually for about two hours a week (one with a coach) and recently I have joined a club and im now playing for about 6 hours a week and I had my first tournament last week...

Just curious how often you replace your rubber. For me every it seems to be every 3 months. Sometimes even more frequently.

Great read that may change your mind on what equipment you should be using. https://thoughtsontabletennis.wordpress.com/2015/04/25/introduction-to-table-tennis-blade-design/
