Dear table tennis enthusiasts, I started playing table tennis again only one and a half years ago, but am making great progress. Mostly, because I had been introduced to the proper techniques in a proper club when I played for 2 years as a child. I am (extremely) forehand dominant, play...

Hi, I have been using andro R53 on both sides for about a month. It is perfect for me on forehand. It is okay for me even on backhand to punch and block with but when out of position it is tough to loop on backhand side as it is not very forgiving. But, I am confused regarding soft vs hard...

Hello, My friend plays with an all+ blade with carbon ; V47 on FH ; short pips on BH. He hits on both side but he struggles to loop backspin on his forehand. I think he may be better off with a softer rubber on his forehand but not fully sure what rubber could be nice to also hit I was mainly...

As tittle says I'm looking for a suited rubber to improve my game. My actual setup: Stiga All Round Classic WRB FH DHS Hurricane 3 National Team 39º OS BH Giant Dragon - Talon National Team OX Style: FH looping (more side spin than top spin) and eventually some block. I make the side/top...

is he still using Skyline 2 bs or has he gone to h3 bs?

I've been a fan of adhesive protective sheets for some time now as well as some other club mates of mine. Problem with these are is that they get dirty/grimy relatively quick and they're overpriced IMO. For example a local carrier I know of is currently offering Butterfly's adhesive sheets pack...

Hi everyone. Right now I'm using a chinese rubber on the forehand side. I've noticed that the rubber lose pretty quickly its tackiness. How can I prevent that? How should I clean the rubber to regenerate the tackiness? Please let me know you experience with this.

Hello, I am looking for some options to clean the bottom side of the inverted rubber, the part right next to the handle where the details of the rubber are marked (e.g Butterfly Tenergy 05, the Butterfly logo, ITTF, serial number). The dust will sit between the letters and it will harden there...

I'm so confused on the rules of rubber thickness, and rather than waste any more time trying to figure it out I thought I'd just ask some experts! I guess I should mention I only want to use "normal" inverted rubber, which I think is what the rules call "sandwich rubber" (please correct me if...

Hey guys, Reading through the forums, and some people say they have problems with shrinking rubbers. Since im going to, for the first time, glue my rubbers, do they mean they shrink while leaving them on the same blade, just after time they somehow shrink. Or do they shrink when you peal them...

Looking to treat myself to some new rubbers as my old ones are looking worn now. I've played with various rubbers for the last few years and I have a reasonable idea of what I like. I want control over speed and prefer to achieve spin with non tacky, grippy rubbers. Sponge hardness of...

Hi, Does adding more thin layers of glue on rubber and blade give more control, feeling, speed and spin too? Like is there benefit to using 3 or 4 thin layers of glue on rubber and 2 layers on the blade? Or is it not true? Would like to know different experiences about this. Thanks.

Timo just revealed in a year-end review, that he plays a new rubber on his backhand since the beginning of this season. He mentions that this new type of was developed by him with Butterfly and that it is one of the reasons why he made a step up since then. He also said that it is already on...

Hello everyone, I wanted to know which blade should I go for. I'm way stronger on my forehand than my backhand. I like to topspin and loop with my forehand. I prefer blocking, short touch with my backhand. What rubber should I use for my backhand ? I would like a hard rubber and quite tacky.

Hi, I am a returning player, ive played since my childhood days.. I am 39 now, havent played since 2012-13.. ive a health issue and was advised to take up exercise/sport by my doctor, so table tennis was the obvious choice, I purchased the TB ALC + Rakza 7 (R7) for my first blade, as it was...

Hello Low intermediate level player here. Was wondering if anyone has any reviews for the dna series for the Medium and soft variants (ttd only did the hard). Recently damaged my bh rubber so looking for a new one. Main concern is its looping ability + BH flicks against backspin. Was also...

Hello guys! So ive got a bit of a problem, im playing with bluefire JP03 on my forehand right now and i can feel that i need a bit more speed. So i have thinking about changing my forehand rubber to something a bit faster. I like the control and spin that bluefire produces but its a bit...

Is the H3-50 a "viable alternative" (for us plebs) to the rubbers used my ML and XX on their backhand? (Similar to how the commercial H3 is a "viable alternative" to the H3 provincial/national?) Or, are their backhand rubber not some variations of H3-50, rather a completely different beast? I'm...
