Hello everyone. For anyone who saw my last post researching a good build i increased my budget a bit enough that i was thinking of buying rozena for my backhand. Thoughts? Current build is boer dragon 7 ply for the blade and rxton 5 as a fh rubber. Fh is my weakest so i thought a cheaper rubber with a bit more control do the trick and spend a bit more with my backhand which i have the most confidence in

Hello, im new to buying custom rackets, even though ive played table tennis for a few years now, i never really got into custom rackets. I have enough budget for any of the combos that are currently on Colestt main page, but i don't really know which blades or rubbers to go for. My play style is all-round, leaning more into the defensive side of play (i tend to chop and block more than I attack). I was wondering, with this in mind, what would be a good combo that I could buy. Or if i can find something better suited for this play style somewhere else. My budget is around 70 USD and preferably something that comes pre-assembled since i don't have experience. Again thanks to anyone that helps

Where can I see free WTT broadcasts in mainland China?

Table tennis is all about mentality. Controlling oneself is the key to success, the most composed and positive player will almost always win.

So, on to the story, I was playing a bo7 tournament match recently against a chopper. I was 1-0 down and I won the second game.

I was quite confident about myself and I start the third game. I go 0-1 down, then 0-2 down, then 0-4, and eventually I was 0-7 down.

After every point, I thought about why I'd lost them and they were all silly mistakes - let's say I hit the ball with the edge twice, underestimated or overestimated the backspin of a chop twice, whiffed one ball and got attacked twice. I was down 0-7 but I felt like the scoreboard didn't tell the whole story.

So, when I went 0-7 down, I realized a way to think about the score that really helped me. Instead of thinking hey, it's 0-0, which also may help, I thought about it this way:

If I beat him 11-4, then I'll even the score (11-11). I can definitely get an 11-4 game off of him.

And so I did and I won that game 11-9, I beat him 11-2 in that split of 13 points. This way of thinking "I can beat him 11-4" set a very hard but realistic challenge for myself and it changed my perspective from a negative one (I'm 0-7 down, let's just get this over with) to a positive one (Let's win 11-4!)

This goes to show just how important believing in ourselves is and how keeping our calm while trying different things is the way to go.

After the match, we talked about this with my opponent and he told me that from 7-5 onwards he got really nervous and he couldn't keep it together, helping me secure my comeback.

So, even if you're 2-0, 10-0 down, if you're still playing, you can still win the match hehe

DHS and buying anything from AliExpress seems like a clear consequence, but are there any others?

Recently, I've been trying out this new tactic where I would serve short to their backhand with heavy pendulum sidespin. After they predictably push it to my backhand side I step around for a big forehand loop. I tried it a few times and I can get the ball in the table, but do you think it would be better to just do a backhand instead of stepping around for the forehand?

Can anyone tell me if this product from Aliexpress its original? https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005006108933508.html?src=google&pdp_npi=4%40dis!CLP!92016!60422!!!!!%40!12000035786165745!ppc!!!&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=298-731-3000&isdl=y&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&aff_platform=google&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&gclsrc=aw.ds&&albagn=888888&&ds_e_adid=&ds_e_matchtype=&ds_e_device=m&ds_e_network=x&ds_e_product_group_id=&ds_e_product_id=es1005006108933508&ds_e_product_merchant_id=5083321326&ds_e_product_country=CL&ds_e_product_language=es&ds_e_product_channel=online&ds_e_product_store_id=&ds_url_v=2&albcp=21627889158&albag=&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAqfe8BhBwEiwAsne6gU15Vv072GMU-9tmZsSGvJsVeaiRcgp8Anhl9jghzyMHpC2wp3iBAhoCYZcQAvD_BwE

Hi, i have sheet of dawei 388d and id like to cure them. ive heard about leaving them in the sun, microwaving and soaking in sunflower/olive oil. personally id like to try the oil method, but ive never cured pimples before, any suggestions/help? thank you!

1-Palio Energy03, AK47 Red + Ak 47 Blue

2-Yinhe T11s, Jupiter 3 + Moon speed.

3-Yinhe Y12, Jupiter 3 + Moon speed.

More info about me, I'm exiting beginner level, and I'm planning to purchase a combo pre-glued racket, so I can advance more. And I prefer spins, and control over speed. (but a fast racket wouldnt harm)

I was thinking of getting a joola setup Dinaryz Agr (purple) for the fh rubber And some joola blade. Is joola any good or should I stick to butterfly? I’m an offensive player.

Thx for your help 🙌🏻

I have been playing TT for almost 2 years now and I experimented with several rubber combinations and I finally settled with either the T05 or G1 for my FH. I can easily open the game on the FH with either of these rubbers. Chop block both long and short are a breeze now for me in the FH, lifting heavy backspin is second nature with either of these two rubbers.

I'm now willing to acheive the same on the BH where I have problems sometimes (not always) with short and long chop pushes, lifting heavy backspins. I used to play with Rakza Z for that grippy top sheets but they come at the cost of being heavy which is something I would prefer to avoid.

I have the following options in mind:

1. Nittaku C-1

2. Tenergy 05 FX

3. Tenergy 19

4. Rakza 7 Soft

I'm leaning more towards softer alternatives, but out of that bunch, C-1 is the hardest. So my questions:

1. Are softer rubbers easy with opening up backspins? Will the softer rubbers give more feeling for the ball than the harder ones?

2. What do I miss with softer rubbers? Speed? Can a softer Tenergy compensate for that?

On that day, Harimoto stunned the world defeating Omar Assar at the QF of the Safir Open 2015.

He also defeated other top players before losing to Xu Hui in the finals. Omar was 24years and ranked 43 in the world, Harimoto was 11years and ranking was unknown.

On Monday they play against each other in the R64 off the Singapore Smash 2025 🔥

I got this blade and the lens with the name is missing, i think it might be some blade by gewo? thanks for helping

Over Christmas I back-ordered the Jo Waldner Gold edition blade with some decent rubbers after looking into it a bit. With that said I honestly can't find much on the internet about this blade, so If anyone has bought & used this, or has had the opportunity to use it, please give me some feedback. Good and bad are both appreciated, just trying to get a better grasp of this blade :).

so due to the way that i hold the racquet the end of the handle comes into contact with my wrist and i cant find anywhere if i am able to shorten the length of it with it still being conforming to ittf rules. i know i could get a penhold grip blade but i cant find any that have a flair to it. thank you for any help.

Hello! Which rubbers are suited for this kind of requirements for a player:

- likes to play with FH mid - long distances, on BH I caractherize him playing like an allround (chops, pushes, topsins, eveything);

- preffers durability;

- not heavy or very fast rubbers (ex. MX-P);

- wants something softer or medium-soft;

- his blade is composite (Timo Boll CAF);

- don't want very, very expensive rubbers.

Hi guys! So I checked out where some of the top Chinese players from the past 25 years are from, and I saw a really significant number being from the three northeast provinces. Some big names that come to mind are Ma Long, Kong Linghui, Ma Lin, Wang Hao, Wang Chuqin, Guo Yue, Li Xiaoxia, Ding Ning, Feng Tianwei, Liu Shiwen, Chen Xingtong and Wang Yidi. Considering that the region holds less than 10% of Chinese population it's very interesting that almost half of their best players come from there. Also even the ones that aren't from the Northeast are almost exclusively from the northern parts, with very few exceptions. Does anyone know why is that so? Is it a cultural thing? Is it specifically about table tennis or sports in general? It would be really cool if anyone has any info!

Hi all,

Wondering if people have tried both these rubbers what did you prefer out of these on your Forehand ? How would compare the speed, spin and control between the two blades? Thanks

I'm a beginner to intermediate player, have been playing on and off without coaching for about 2 years. I'm more attacking but I prefer to play spinny shots than power shots (due to lack of confidence mostly). I like to play close / mid-distance from the table.

I'm currently using a Palio 2 star premade with Palio CJ8000 on both sides. It's rather heavy (I've tried a friend's Viscaria with DHS Hurricane 3 and it's quite light comparatively).

I'm eyeing a setup of DHS Hurricane Bo B or B2, with 729 Battle II 39 degrees on forehand, and Palio AK47 Blue on backhand (someone on XHS recommended me DHS PF4 for backhand, too). Will this setup be too hard for someone at my level to play with? And should I go for the 7-ply wood version or the 5+2 arylate carbon version?

Thanks so much, cheers.

My friend is looking for an inner carbon blade that's not too fast. I was thinking something along the lines of an andro synteliac vci, or maybe an innerforce ALC.S. He likes to play with a lot of arc, so I'm thinking that MX-S could be good for him.

Right now he plays with a korbel sk7 with t05 on fh and g1 on bh. He wants to switch mostly for it to feel different. How do you feel about my suggestions?
