To tell you a bit about my game, I have an overdeveloped FH (compared to the rest of my game) and a very controlled BH which is my weakest area in my game.
Recently going against 1400-1500FFTT players (around 1850–1950TTR / 2100-2250USATT), my BH is becoming a big bottleneck. My only option in...
hello all,
I'm an intermediate player, I currently use a BRIBAR bat with Friendship rubber, and while I generate good spin, everyone agrees it's time to upgrade. I'm looking for a high-quality setup that delivers great spin, strong attacking power, and excellent control. My main concern is...
Hey, I need some help understanding control in a game.
When people talk about a "control" style, does it just mean playing passively with lots of blocking and placing? Doesn't that give the opponent all the initiative to attack?
So, how do you actually win playing a control style? What kind...
Hey fellas im technically new to table tennis but ive been studying alot bout it
Ive been playin tt for the past year including this one nd i feel like the rubber im using is dragging me back quite a bit so i wanna ask yall for advice

I've been playing with my current setup; Jonyer Hinoki with Rasanter c48 on Forehand and Hexergrip on Backhand for sometime and recently noticed that I can generate considerably more spin if I replace my current blade (Jonyer Hinoki) to some all wood blade. The allwood blade that I tried was...

Hi there!
I just bought a Viscalia and I seen that the lens is inserted into the handle in an uneven way.
As can be seen in the photo, the right side (as in photo) is recessed more than the left side.
For sure, the blade is not a fake. It was bought from the local Butterfly store.
This is an...
Hi TTD,

TLDR: looking to buy bty innerforce alc, am i overestimating my patient to learn and practice, or is there other blade recommendation i should look into?

Hello! I am an intermediate player. Have used Butterfly Schlager OFF+ Tamca 5000 Carbon ST with Sriver on FH and Vario on BH for some time because the speed was too high to control initially. I want to change these rubbers and would like to know what would be a good switch for FH and BH. I have...
I'm curious about the experiences of those (particularly loopers) who have used blades like Viscaria or other carbon (outer or inner) blades in the past, but have moved onto an even faster set-up while still maintaining decent control. What sort of blades have you tried? I know there are some...
Hello Team,
I am Akshay from India. I have been playing TT for about 5 years now, i would like to consider now, myself in the intermediate category. Since the last two years i have worked on playing a more serious game. So for my practice to get know all the different nuances of the game and...
I have been using Sriver and Sriver FX on a Petr Korbel blade. I'm not sure what I should get. My club is a butterfly distributor and the coach recommends me Zhang Jike Super ZLC or Viscaria with Tenergy and Rozena. I tried my friend Zhang Jike Super ZLC and it was very fast. What rubber should...
can you explain about: stiffness and hardness, vibration and reaction, control?
I think: hardness depend on the top-ply, the subsidence when the ball touch the blade.
stiffness depend on the core, affect to the dwell time.
vibration is the felling? and reation is speed...

Hi guys, I try to give topspin but sometimes it goes with backspin. And I try to give backspin. It goes with topspin. How can I control them? How can I serve with underspin or topspin. What are the differences?
Have too many blades and looking to offload. Posting to see if there is any interest. Blade has about 10 hours of playtime. Rubbers changed only once. Bumped the table with top left edge leaving a small indent. Both rubbers barely used (approx 2 hours). Looking to sell for $95. Will post...
