  1. Need help with a too boucny/high throw setup

    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.

  2. Help me choose a good setup

    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...
  3. Advise needed from pros: new setup

    ​​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.

  4. High spin rubber setup (2) for brush/loop forehand practice

    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.

  5. Why pro and amateur have similar setup ?

    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...

  7. A good custom setup for someone who is COMPLETELY new

    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.

  8. New setup recommendation

    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...

  10. Suggestions required on getting or updating the Customised setup

    I have used Stiga Eternity VPS V blade with Tibhar FXS on forehand and Stiga Mantra M on backhand. I find this setup too fast to control and all the smashes which used to land on the table when I used to play with a premade bat are now landing outside. I'm not able to return the side spins with...
  11. Is double inverted the most viable setup to play?

    Hi all, I would like to hear your opinion about this. Most top players play inverted on both sides. Is that the most viable setup to be a great player? For example why are less players to play FH short pips(like Mattias Karlsson), BH short pips(like Tan Ruiwu) or modern defense with LP? I think...

  15. Why is my new setup so slow? DHS 301 and Rasant.

    Hi guys - I recently bought a new DHS 301 composite blade after playing with my Andro Temper Tech OFF for 3 years as I wanted an upgrade. I did my due diligence and read lots of reviews online about the 301 before purchasing and most reviews seemed to be glowing. Most reviews seemed to agree...
  16. My setup weighs 205g

    I'm thinking of changing blades because the Hurricane Long 5 has a terrible handle, it's too thin and makes the head of the racket super heavy. Currently Im using the Nittaku Hurricane Pro 3 Turbo Orange on FH (heaviest rubber I've ever used GEEZ), and Hurricane 2 Neo on BH. I'm thinking of...
