  1. is it a grip issue?

    Maybe the ball is wet with sweat? A wet ball can cause a "What happened?" moment.
  2. Recommend Butterfly Blade - (Petr Korbel or Maze Advance or Falcima)

    Been playing with a Korbel for a year, very nice blade. I think it's a good choice for your offence/defence style. If Gionis Panagiotis can play high level TT with a Korbel, imagine what you can do.
  3. New innovation rubber

    Oh, that explain why i spend so much time in my basement playing with my TT rubbers...
  4. why wait to dry the glue?

    Maybe you glue is bad? I had Victas glue turn bad. It dried too fast and turned in a grainy mess. Tried to thin it with water, but didn't work. Ended in the trash.
  5. Can rubbers achieve even more catapult than currently?

    I'm more interested in a rubber that would keep it's catapult over its entire life.
  6. What's the best way to practice near table counter-loop?

    1) partner misses - Find a better partner. 2) loop is too low - Find a partner with Tenergy 05. 3) loop is out of position - Improvise, adapt, overcome.
  7. Yeah! Baby yeah! Let's go retro. Retro is the new sexy!

    I play with a Petr Korbel, does that count to be old school? I think it was first produced in 1996. :cool:
  8. Rubber alternatives for Return Board?

    I also have a return board. I don't think that rubber only, without sponge, will have enough rebound or the returned ball will have a weak spin. The magic is in the sponge and pimple. I use Elmer rubber cement, and rubber installation take maybe 30 minutes. They last for more than a year. I use...
  9. Aliexpress Anniversary Sale 2024

    Got some Mantra Pro M, and rubbers for my return board. I'm ok for a year... Please block my Aliexpress account. 😎
  10. Speed Upgrade on FastArc G-1

    Tenergy 05 have the same arc as G1, but it's faster. I could switch between T05 and G1 without problems. But it cost 2x more. I don't have experience with MX-P. You might try Mantra Pro M. Lower arc than G1, faster, more direct. Not as spectacular as G1 or T05 but i have good results in match.
  11. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    Anyone noticed that Jang Woojin almost fainted after his match? He walked like a drunk men for a split second. :ROFLMAO:
  12. Question about ABS balls

    Keep in mind that new balls have a rough surface, they will grab more on rubber and table surface. They will play and bounce differently than older ball with a smooth surface.
  13. What is more profitable: regular reboosting a cheap Chinese rubbers or buying a Euro/Jap Hybrid?

    If you take into account all the EJ you have to do to finally find your replacement, i think it's more expensive. Then you buy the real thing, find out it's not really the same, and the process start over again.
  14. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    I have played with Mantra Pro M on FH and BH for 15 hours now and it's a really good rubber. I'm still getting used to it, but i think i will use it for some times. I really like the grip and the sponge feel. And it's so easy to play with it. If durability is good then it's a keeper. I log my...
  15. Weak Forehand & Weak Flick Technique - Rubber change - harder, softer what?

    You can try Tenergy 64. It is very fast and feel soft. You can generate good speed with short strokes. Or play like Noshad Alamiyan and backhand everything everywhere. It's a unique and entertaining style.
