  5. Is European TT shops discriminated vs Asian TT shops ?!

    After taken up TT again after a 30 years break have I tried out a lot of different blades and rubbers. I normally buy my items from Tabletennis11 and UK shops, but after experienced some problem to order some "new" rubber because of some brands marketing policy and perhaps favor Asian shops and...

  7. Which is best to be- ranked 6 in China or the top player in a european country?

    Which would you prefer to be - a player ranked just below the best in China with little chance of making the top team, or to be the top player in a European country like France or the UK. It seems that a superb player in China may play second fiddle to the likes of Ma Long or Ding Ning but, if...

  11. European Players & Tacky Rubbers

    .... or lack thereof. Can anyone explain why not many Euro pros use tacky rubbers? Hell, any non Chinese for that matter. I mean im sure its common at the amateur\semi-pro level. But i've yet to see a top non-Chinese pro use tacky rubbers. Anyone care to explain that to me?
  12. Differences in how to spin the ball: Chinese and European rubbers

    I'm not an equipment expert at all. I feel like I'm asking an extremely common sense question, but for softer rubbers, you generate spin mainly by using the sponge? (as opposed to closing your racket more to spin the top of the ball for tacky rubbers) I heard this while going through...

  20. DHS Skyline 3-60 vs european tensor

    I was wondering how the skyline 3-60 (medium) holds up against a european/japanese tensor rubber. I'm searching for a rubber that is less speedy/bouncy then currently used tensor (fh) without losing the possibility of really killing a ball with a fast drive. I tried the skyline 3 neo but to no...
