What are good websites to buy TT blades from in the US? I'm in India and have a friend coming over from there. Hard to search from here.

Playing style: Defensive Best Shots: Over the table backhand flick, Backhand drive, Forhand loop and drive, Chopping on fh and backhand. I used to have a KTL instinct+ with Mark V both sides, but then a coach came up to me and told me he’d coach me for free if I’d play modern defence. I took the...

I have Donic Balsa Carbo Fleece(OFF+) with MX-P on my forehand and Rakza-7 on my backhand. I got the entire set-up second-hand but it was still pretty new. I have been practising with it for almost a year and although it has improved my shots I still am struggling to find good consistency...

Hi, I want to buy some table tennis stuffs and sell them in my small shop in Vietnam and looking for some distributors that offer good price like tt11. tt11 does have a very good discount policy (upto 30%) and I have very good experience with them but they does not sell Butterfly rubbers to my...

Aliexpress has a host of table tennis products that are much cheaper than other online western retailers - obviously customisation is limited because you will have to assemble your racket yourself or buy one of the preset 'combos' that the sellers sell. Example: DHS pg7 retails for about $21...

Hello! I am 25 years old, used to get some lessons about strokes technique, got some decent practice vs robots and had access to a coach for couple of lessons. There he explained proper technique in basic strokes and helped me understand how to take a shot. This was over 1.5 years ago. Before...

Since many of the clubs in the US have closed for a few weeks and "Social Distancing" is being recommended, I was wondering if there were any tips or guidelines for disinfecting things like tables, balls, nets, rackets, etc. Hand-shaking is now discouraged, and I hope the practice of wiping...

Does anyone know what Equipment the chinese/japanese kids use when they are starting to play table tennis? And what they are changing while improving? Harder Rubber? Faster Blade? Are they using Max sponge from the beginning?

Hi guys, I have been playing for 10 months now and I had a feeling I needed to upgrade my equipment. So I did, My first rubbers were 61 seconds dst lightning 1.8 on FH Tibhar Vari spin 1.5 on BH and Donic Epoxpowerallround is my blade. I bought the Friendship 729 bloom power 2.2 for my FH and I...

Several years ago, I played table tennis at a club for about a year. I recently moved to a new city and discovered a new club right next to my apartment. I took some lessons previously and got a paddle through a coach at the old club. I can't seem to find out any details about the blade...

Perhaps the members of the forum can help me. I have been playing for about a year. I consider my level somewhere between intermediate and advanced. I play mostly on Saturdays. I try to model my forehand after Ma Long, I try to loop every ball with spin and speed. I have been working hard to...

Hi, I am relatively new to this forum. I tried to add new products (and reviews thereof) to the TTD database using the submission form but without success. I tried contacting the site admins but haven't had any response. Is TTD no longer adding new products to the equipment database? Thanks...

Hello, I can describe myself as an amateur who knows the basics. Currently, I own a premade Stiga 5* Flexure, received as a gift. Even though I've made some progress in my game, I don't think this will help me on the long run since I play daily at the office and 1 or 2 times a week at the local...

Hello guys I am thinking of buying two rubber bands and a blade in a Spanish store, its name is Zona TT. They have service of lacquered blades (seal) and racket assembly. + How was your experience with that store? + What is your opinion about your lacquering and assembly service? Thank...

Hi!:) I am a coach only once a week and I would love to hear from other coaches or players with experience what you would recommend to a beginner. And I referring to beginners who have played perhaps 1-3 years, in age 7-15 years old. I guess the age really doesn't matter but still... I have...

Hi, I think, I'm somewhere between a beginner and Intermediate level player as I can already perform basic shots quite consistently, but I'm still developing technique for regional level tournaments. About a year ago, I "re-started" playing (I've played little bit in my school as a hobby and...

What's the term used for a player who is fanatical about buying all the new equipment? In photography they refer to GAS: Gear Acquisition Syndrome. It's a common complaint, of course, and we can all fall victim to it, if we don't watch out! I seem to remember TT had a term for the victim rather...
