  1. A good 'can do anything' short pips for BH?

    I have very little knowledge on pips - but is there a good short pip (to be used on BH) that can be used for everything. Pushing, chopping away and hitting/topspin close to the table? More something that is easy to use as a transition rather than really specialised in any one area atm. Any...
  2. Alternative to Giant Cropcircles

    Hi - a guy at my club has been using Cropcircles for ages but said its out of production so has been trying alternatives but not finding anything that he likes. Are there any suggestions people know? Plays close to the table but can chop with it and twiddles.
  3. A little bit greasy topsheet - can i clean it?

    Hi - so I've been playing in a new venue once a week that is quite humid and sweaty (for 4/5 months) - and what ive noticed on a couple of my bats is a slightly greasy touch to the topsheet. I always have clean my bats with Tibhar grip spray and a sponge after the session. But recently they...
  4. Modern defender setup

    I wanna try a modern defender setup over the close season. I did tried it out a bit last summer. But went down the LPs route and it was just too much to change in one go so I want to pick up some reverse rubbers, or a SP BH rubber, that are good control pushing over the table and chopping...
  5. Spinfire short pips – @WRM-TV

    Just curious after watching some videos on https://www.youtube.com/@WRM-TV - a channel I really like. Theres a few players and reviews of a SP rubber called Spinfire by Der-materialspezialist. Just wondered if anyone has used it or tried it but seems a really interesting rubber.
  6. Korbel alternative

    Hi all Im enjoying playing with my Korbel after downgrading from my TBS. what I'm looking for is a cheap alternative blade to help try other rubbers on - and with playing with boosted H3/Neo on would be good to have something very similar that I don't need to wait for boosting to finish on...

  8. Alternative to TB Spirit

    Im thinking of getting a spare(ejing with rubbers) blade to my current TB Spirit – as its not made anymore I could just go down the Butterfly route of Viscaria/TB ALC/etc – but wondered if there were any other options that are very similar Butterfly or other brands (Xiom brand interests me). I...
  9. Generating spin on serves

    So I think a key problem I have, that I need to work on is generating heavier spin on serves and the ability to serve to get the best shot back to follow up on. I can serve short - but it tends to have little spin, longer serves have spin but in comparison to how well I can spin up, or loop a...
  10. A happy accident – do i go for a wood blade?

    So last night saw the last league match of the season and I was asked to step in for the first team in the Premier division, I have filled in a few times this season - and even though haven't won any games in that league, have been competitive and great learning experience. It was short notice I...

  12. Spinny backhand rubbers

    Hi peeps, so my season is coming to an end and my team are in with promotion so has gone pretty well. I do think I might make some setup changes or try out some options during the off season. I started with D09c on both sides but ended up swapping to back to T05 on BH halfway through as just...
  13. Korbel

    Is there a massive difference between Euro and Jap Korbels? If so what apart from build quality? The reason I ask is I have an old Primorac, probably 10/15yrs old (not sure when they came out but it’s a black tag one) that I switch to, now and again, for practice and if I feel I need to work on...
  14. Olympic singles qualifiers in Doha

  15. Am I mad? Thinking of changing style to modern defender

    I imagine the answer is probably yes and its the wrong idea, but.. I have been toying with the idea of changing style to a modern defender. What do you think are the skillsets or key strengths that fit that style? To see if they align. Ive always played with two reverse rubbers in an...

  17. Rules on where you can stand to receive

    I was playing in a league match last night and in the doubles one of the opposite team (when his team was receiving usually) stood past the end of the table on their lefthand side so seemed really close to me when i was serving from the right quarter :-) We won pretty easily so didn't matter...
  18. Tactics you always use

    Hi guys, i know we talk a lot about equipment - but wondered what unique tactics people have too. Now we all adjust certain aspects of play while we play different players – targeting weaknesses or making the most of strengths, but was looking for tactics people might have that they always use...
