where'd you get the h3 national/provintial version?

This must have slipped through. Sorry.
There is a reliable TTD member with very good contacts who can help you on that.
Actually a good friend just was in China and brought me two new ones, but they weren't easy to get, so i'd just recommend my friend Chen Chen.
His stuff ist definitely 100% authentic.
Here's a link to his latest sales thread:

Well, I've been digging. I didn't find all my old equipment, but well...

So first, an allround frame I used when very young, labeled "Tibor". It has a 35+ year old purple Friendship rubber that is still quite tacky, and the classic Sriver.
IMG_3976.jpgIMG_3978.jpg

Then, also 30+ years, "Carbon-hit the master series". I don't recall quite where that came from, vaguely recall it was imported (smuggled, probably) from Czechoslovakia early eighties by a table tennis store owner with Czech connections. There's a new Friendship 729 Super FX on it, I tried this for a while when I returned to the game after a long hiatus. This frame is quite heavy, has very little dwell and is a speed monster. Together with the (hard!) 729 I could kill anything, but didn't really help me redevelop touch.

So I replaced it with a Stiga Allround frame and Mark V. My first frame was a Stiga "Stellan Bengtsson" Offensive frame, I felt the need to get back in touch.

After a while, it still didn't feel right though. I did redevelop my spins, but blocks, flat hits and touch games became messy and I lacked power when away from the table. So when a friend slid me a used slice of Tenergy 05 I slapped that onto an OCC and played very happily with that for a while:

After a few months of playing the T05 started deadening, so I needed a replacement. My game had developed properly by then, with no real structural weaknesses, except maybe the less than absolute control in the short game and on passive service receives. So I got something close, but tamer and with much more control. Keeping my existing stuff as an emergency backup, I got me a Treiber K frame with Rasant Grip and I think I'll be sticking to that in the foreseeable future.

Beautiful! Great that the purple friendship is still sort of alive.

The ones im currently using. Most may find them slow but theyre just perfect for me. Better use your body than use super fast stuff to generate speed.

My current collection:
Stiga Carbonado 145, Butterfly Tenergy 05 Max, Butterfly Tenergy 64 max. That's my new blade and rubbers had the blade for a month but I got the rubbers last week, first time I got Tenergy rubbers, and my first impression is positive.
Butterfly Schlager Carbon Off+ Adidas Tenzone Ultra Max, Xiom Omega V Pro max
Stiga Ulf Tickan Carlsson about 30 years old.

Hey guys. Here is my still quite new setup.
fh.jpgbh.jpg
Doesn´t somebody here has any experience with Stiga Offensive Classic, which is on the picture? I like this setup much after few weeks of testing. Just the wood has really strange, loud, hollow sound. Is it normal for all of these?
Thanks.
