Hello! It's my first post here. My setup is Acoustic Inner Carbon with Fastarc C-1 on both sides and I'd say I'm a low intermidiate player, my backhand is my weaker side and I think I have relatively good feeling and blocking. With that said, I'm looking for a new BH rubber to try when the...

Just noticed in WTT Champions Chongching that Patrick Franziska isn't using his Signature Innerforce ZLC. I wonder if there is a new one coming. By the looks of it, it is Viscaria or Super ALC, interesting change. As a fan, this is a welcome change if he gets a new ALC based Blade.

What is the diference between Innerforce alc vs original senso carbon in terms of speed , hardness, built quality ?

Hello! I've been wondering what Jpen blade I should go and buy. Do you guys have any suggestions? I prefer a 1ply hinoki blade which is good for short pips!

I’ve recently been meaning to advance from my sanwei T5000 blade with rakza Z fh and genesis M bh and I’m confused between these two blades, as apparently they are amongst the best blades at this price range. Could I get a recommendation between the two. I want to prioritise dwell time and...

Hello! recently I've been thinking about better rubbers for my blade. I came across these two rubbers, renowned for their greatness. Of these two, which is better, more specifically in terms of speed and ability to block. (I am a Jpen player)

Hello everyone, I've been playing table tennis for 2 years and have already reached an advanced level. My playing style is offensive at a medium distance from the table. My backhand is very strong, but I'm having issues with my forehand. I use a Xiom Vega Europe, and because it has a soft...

Hello! I've been thinking, and I wanted to find out is bamboo blades are possible and legal.

I am using the Sweden extra blade and the Rakza 7 rubbers on both ends. What are your opinions on upgrades...I'm trying to decide if I want to only update my blade, and keep (or buy) the same rubbers. Or vise versa or just upgrade all at the same time. I've been interested in the Timo boll alc...

Hey all, beginner here. For some context, I've been playing for about 2 months now, but I think I've been able to improve extremely quickly. I'm able to consistently backhand rally with either blocking or looping with intermediate players. On the other hand, while I'm able to consistently block...

Hey there, I will be traveling soon for vacation to London, and since here in Mexico there isn’t a physical table tennis only/exclusive store, I would love to visit one there. So if any of you guys could give me some options I would really appreciate it. Mostly looking out for shirts and if...

Hello! I'm a beginner and have played for about 6 months. I'm using premade Palio Legend 3.0. As the rubber's quite worn out, I'm considering what should be a reasonable replacement. I think I'll do OK with the current blade for some time as I'm still learning basic techniques and developing a...

Hi guys, I‘ve been eying since a while on some cool t shirts but they’re only available in their market (butterfly America/Asia-pacific), is there another way than literally asking someone who lives there to get it and send it to me ? I’ve seen lots of fake so I would like to find a trustable...

Hi all - I could use some advice on a new setup. I've been playing for about 2-3 years, but over the past 6 months I finally started taking lessons (though only sporadically--1 a week at best). I'm rated roughly 1400 in the USATT system. I am learning to be a more offensive player, though if...

I have noticed that this Rubber (Magician II) is better than Grass Dtech for inverted spin. Is that true? Does anyone have any experiences to share? Also, what is the difference between the two versions: Top Curated and Full Curated?

Let me know! On the east coast of the US and very interested!!

Looking for a replacement to D09c. I love the rubber, but I find it’s not that long lasting and it’s really expensive. So I’ve been looking at other hybrid rubbers with that tacky top sheet to decrease the slippage I feel with an older D09c, but I am still concerned about shifting away from the...

Hello, I'm a new member to the site. I had played table tennis in middle school for two years and is returning as a (semi-)casual in college. I mostly score through forehand flicks and forehand/backhand loops. I usually create opportunities for forehand flicks through hook and shovel serves...

They still close now., when they comeback .

Hi, it might be a silly question, but as I was looking at the impressive U2's Adam Clayton's signature basses inventory, (yep, nearly all of them bring him royalties when one's sold anywhere on the planet... talk about a businessman !) I thought it would be interesting to know which player in...
