    Hello, I have an old blade from 2011, the Gergely Tamca 5000 and I would like to have suggestions about the rubbers suited for it. My game has lot of looping on FH and Looping, flicks and chops on the BH. And of course I need to have some ease of control. My regular blade is Timo Boll ALC...

  4. Control/placement blade and rubber recommendations?

    Hi, I'm a middle intermediate player that plays a control/placement spin/block style of game (à la Samsonov) and am looking to replace a composite blade/Calibra LT with a new setup that will provide more control and spin. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I'm quite open to an all wood...
  5. How rubbers' "Control" should be read?

    Hi, I don't have too much experiance with so many different rubbers, but with time I've noticed that in many cases I play better and with much more "control" with rubbers, marked with less control. And on the opposite - I fail with some rubbers, presumed to have a lot of control. When I tryed to...
  6. Question regarding H3 Neo's speed+control

    Hey there, I want to try H3 Neo again, I tried it in 2010 the last time and back then I didn't know much about it and that is why I was so disappointed. I expected some Tenergy speed and the balls dropped into the net. Today I know why, different stroke, no catapult etc. Since I want to try it...
  7. FH rubber - control close to table + strong for from it

    Hey guys, I am looking for a FH rubber which would give me control close to the table (short game, blocking, engaging in TS) but power when I start to step out from the table; any recommendations? I currently play with RakzaX 2mm, which I find great far from the table, giving me plenty of...
  8. Blade or rubber when trying to get more control on Long Pip chopping?

    Hi everyone, I'm currently trying to figure out how to get more control when I'm chopping with long pimples. Is it blade or rubber? I use the Joo se hyuk blade and Hellfire Long pimples. When I get into a rally I chop well, however I find that if come up against someone who loop drives...
  9. Speed, Spin, Control Ratings. Are they any use?

    I usually buy rubber from Bribar and they tell me that the ratings they publish are based on testing the rubbers (which would seem an awful lot of testing!). However, when I compare the Bribar ratings with those on the table tennis database I find huge inconsistencies. For example, when I look...

    This is what the Slovenian National Team get up to during the break of their training session! The control is so impressive! Thoughts?
  11. more control on ZJK ALC

    Hi , I know it is not good for a beginner/intermediate player to buy such fast blade, but it is a pleasure to have one. I'm very comforable on my BH with T64 on it but not the FH with T80 FX, the ball just jump away and gives zero chance to develop the right stroke, I'm suffering on loops, they...

  13. Why Do We Let the Returner Control the Pace?

    I have always wondered about this - why does the server always have to wait for the returner to be ready, even if the returner is taking a ridiculous amount of time? Shouldn't there be a maximum time between points for umpired matches at least? Or will that just cause trouble as another...

  16. Good combination of speed and control

    Hi everybody, Reading the posts in this Forum I came to idea (may be not quite correct) that if a blade is very fast rubbers should be slow to have good control without loosing the speed. Thus, which is a better combination for an optimal ratio of speed/control (Running with the hare and hunting...
  17. Control vs. forgiveness

    I'm considering upgrading my equipment from an old Stiga 2000 with Mark V to something with a little more speed and spin, preferrably without loosing too much control and what is often referred to as "forgiveness". When reading reviews many rubbers are referred to as having good or even...
