setup

I am a beginner player playing with a Palio Master 3.0 premade racket. It has an all-wood 5-ply blade with cj8000 rubbers on both sides. I can play counter on forehand and backhand decently well and am learning to topspin on both sides. I am pretty fit and like to move quickly and push myself...

Hi guys, I am looking for a light set up with evenly distributed weight across the bat. This is very important to me as my current bat is a hinoki blade j tech with andro hexer grip/powergrip rubbers. While it is a great bat its very top heavy and seriously affects how i can flick my wrist. It...

Hi all,I hve been browsing the threads and learnt several insights. Very informative forum.Im starting to get back into the game after 10-15 years (i use to play TT in school team) and im looking for a budget setup that wont break the bankI used to own Stiga Offensive Classic back in the day but...

I have a question, for a female player who wishes due to upbringing and comfort to use a penhold. The idea for cpen is that only one side of the rubber is used for backhand and forehand, unlike RPB. - is this understanding correct? For a bat, i was thinking a 5 ply all wood blade like YSE or...

Hello everyone My younger brother has been playing for about 1 year now, religiously. He's seriously young and lacks some basic fundamentals in some aspects. He has received no formal coaching that kids his age usually get when they are serious about the sport. Current FH:cheap hard and tacky...

Hey y’all I was wondering what you guys think would be the best setup for the maximum amount of spin. If you could include why too that’d be great!

Hi all, My current setup is: Blade: Xiom Ignito FH: Tibhar Genius (max) BH: Tibhar Evolution MX-S (max) I recently came to know that it's not recommended to use hard rubbers on a stiff blade. This setup works decently while playing far from the table but I have trouble receiving serves and...

Hi all, Do you guys use a practice racket and a match racket ? I use the same equipment for practice and matches. I was thinking to have a separate practice racket to increase the durability of main racket. I thought about some rackets cheaper practice equipment from aliexpress as I can replace...

So, basically i'm playing tt for like 4-5 years now and i'm a decent player. I want to get a new racket but i'm not sure if it would be ok for me. I was thinking about getting harimoto alc, rozena 1,9 mm backhand and stiga dna pro h 1,9 mm on my fh. I'm an attacking player fh dominant. Active...

Is Donic Appelgren Allplay(Normal) with FH Xiom Omega 5 Asia + BH Xiom Vega Europe a good combination for a intermediate offensive player(a.k.a me)?

I was using acuda S2 on both sides of my korbel before I stopped playing like 2 years ago. I recently wanted to start again and decided to buy some cheap decent rubbers to get me on track. I bought Palio AK47 yellows and put them on both sides but after 3 months of training with them I find them...

I have now played table tennis actively for almost two years now. And after a good while with the Primorac Off- and Mark V on both sides, i found that i lack in pace of the game. My strongest hand i definitely my forehand. Even with pretty slow equipment i find my loops to be powerful and...

​​I'm amateur, played in the "basement" with friends as a teenager and came back to it 30 years later and enjoying it very much. In last several month I took number of group classes with Chinese coach and I'm improving ( trying to get rid of bad habits too), started to go to the club to teach my...

Looking for a couple of practice setups with specific rubbers to improve my brush/loop forehand. Based on my research here in the rubbers forum, here is what i'm considering. Any feedback greatly appreciated! 1. DHS 301 w/Hurricane 3-50 and a Battle II reg or Provincial (both sides will be FH...

Hello, I wonder what equipment pro really use, especially as it often seems very similar to what amateurs used. For example we see in Dan reviews that Pitchford plays with viscaria and T05, Drinkhall with a carbon blade with MXP. But these combo are often also found in the hand of amateur...

Hello, I am interested in finding out what someone has to take into account when he wants to make a new palette and how those aspects are matched with a specific equipment. Since there are a lot of rubbers and blades available on the market, we will not talk about a specific brand; instead we...

Hello, I have checked out a lot of the blades available on multiple websites and done my research on what kind of blade is well suited for myself. However, I've always wondered: What kind of blade and rubber setup is good for someone who has never touched a table tennis ball before? I'm wanting...

Hello everyone, I've been playing on and off for about 10 years now. Back in the day I had some coaching and have become pretty consistent with the basic strokes. I'd call myself a beginner-intermediate player. I lost my last paddle in my office a couple years ago and want to get back into...

I have ordered Palio Ak47 blue in red to use on fh. I hopefully find a cheaper rubber than the normal ones from all the expensives firms. And will use my black Spinlord Gipfelsturm 1,8 on bh. I use Fextra 7 as my main paddle. Tonight at training i will test how the Ak47 blue is playing, im so...
