I'm not very sure about the rackets, but most probably yes, as the coach there does lessons for beginners, and should have some rackets on hand. Fee is P150 per person, and you can play all day.

Hi, sorry, it's just a personal hobby. I don't provide this service to the public. But if you have further questions about the process, please feel free to ask.

Not ALL of it off. Leave a thin layer. Although, the wood absorbs the ca glue, especially if its the thin kind. So it will still keep all the dirt off even if you sand it down to the wood.

Yes po!!!! Sobrang convenient. Pag baba mo ng MRT, aakyat ka na lang, andun na.

Hi, yeah, there's regular players there, especially on Saturdays and Sundays. You can just go down to the court with your racket and join them.

Its 5 layers Poplar, interwoven, plus a thin Wenge veneer.

Yes, open during mall hours. P150 for the whole day. So you can come early, start playing, have lunch, then come back to play some more.

Buy it yourself

You can start with a really cheap one. I think you can find one at less than $5. This one I'm using is about $15.

@@phtabletennisvlog4473 personally anything less then 10 usd for a racket isnt gonna offer you the best play. Even if you are a beginner i would recommend buying trusted brand such of butterfly, dhs, u get it. Would recommend getting a cheap butterfly racket though, ladt a long time and offers good spin too

It actually has a slightly bigger surface area on the upper half part of the racket. Which I think is more important. Although, the difference is negligible. What I like about it is the narrower neck. It doesn't hurt the palm, so I don't have to round the edges.

Super glue is thinner, so it gets absorbed by the wood better. And most of all, it's a lot cheaper then any TT branded sealer. It's a preference, I like the feel of smooth plastic handle better than wood. Also, it prevents the blade from absorbing your sweat. I have a Joola Kool blade, about 15 years ago, it was 85 grams in weight. After years of use, absorbing sweat, now it's 110 grams. So I do recommend sealing to keep the handle clean and retain the blade's qualities.

@@phtabletennisvlog4473 is 502 or X2000 good choices? Can you recommend one if the ones I mentioned wouldn't work well? Thank you!

Thank you sa game JM!

Hehe. Yeah. Tumiming lang dumating sila habang andun kami. Walang ibang player kundi kami lang kaya nakapaglaro ng madami.

Most of that dirt and oil and grime are embedded into the wood. So you might need to sand a bit of the surface until the color of the racket lightens. I'm not aware of any product that would be able to remove the dirt that's embedded into the grains.

Thanks din! Sobrang close ng mga laban namin! 100% sure ako sa rematch namin, mabubugbog na ako! Haha! Thank you! Hope to see you again soon!

Copy sir pasyal ulit kami jan 😊

From my experience, old dirty handles become very slippery and uncomfortable to hold. Sealing makes it feel like hard plastic. But if you sweat excessively, then it may make it more slippery for you. There are days when my hands become excessively sweaty, what I did is I stick a small piece of sandpaper at the bottom part of the handle on the backhand side. This really worked for me. But on most days, my hands are pretty dry.

@@phtabletennisvlog4473 ok thanks!

100 for the whole day na. So pwede ka punta 10am, then uwi ka 10pm, 100 pa rin. Madami din kainan kaya pwede talaga mag whole day.

Yeah! Magaganda din tables. Bisita kayo paminsan! Dami din dumadayo galing Bulacan

Not sure about that. The absorbed sweat makes the blade heavy overtime. I have a Joola Kool which I bought in the late 2000s, it used to be 85 grams. Now it's 102 grams. If you want to make it last, you'll really need to seal it. You can use a cloth wrap, the ones used in Badminton rackets, if you sweat a lot in the palms.

@@phtabletennisvlog4473 indeed. good thinking for long term. By the way this reminds me of my racket of 20 years. I should restore it just for fun.

@@androixus10 Yes definitely! It is so satisfying to see your beloved old rackets look new again. I also restored my Joola Kool. I even replaced the brand label, printed on photo paper. photos.app.goo.gl/oHrJCC9TXWKynrpm6

my finger is in pain everytime I want to change new rubbers

@@Jk-ov8fg Do you mean from the Rubber or from the Blade? I don't usually get this problem with the blade, as I put on a thin clear coat of clear paint (acrylic spray paint) on the blade face, which prevents glue from staying after removing the rubber. And on occasion that it does, I do the same as you and use my fingers. Sometimes, painter's tape or even duck tape help to capture the glue and remove it from the blade face. Try it out. As for the rubber, this is very hard to remove. For rubber with really thick build up, I dip the rubber on a pan of Paraffin Oil for about 24 hours. This softens the glue and then I scrape it off. It doesn't completely remove all the glue, but it does make it a lot thinner. Warning though, this will make your rubber grow, you can use it as is, which makes it feel boosted, or wait for it to shrink back to its original shape.

Cyanoacrylate hardens with moisture. So if you keep the tissue and the surrounding dry, it should work. You could also order from AliExpress, if you think it's the local CA Glue formula that's the issue. But mainly, it's moisture that's the problem. If the tissue is even a bit wet, the CA glue will harden immediately.

@@phtabletennisvlog4473 Yes, it has nothing to do with humidity. All the formulas in my country are fast drying. Thank you very much for the reply.

@@paulispaul1974 Oh ok. Then yeah, try ordering one from Aliexpress. Might be even cheaper than your local ones. Cheers!

Thank you! Yeah, super enjoy siya sa doubles. I don't know bakit ngayon ko lang naisip mag-doubles kami. Hehe.

Eto mismo, mga super glue na nabibili sa shopee. Pero pwede mighty bond. Piliin mo lang yung manipis, wag yung gel type.

Any Cyanoacrylate Glue should do. You may even find it as Mighty Bond, Superglue or CA Glue. You can order in AliExpress from China. The thinner the glue, the better.

You got me. But you wouldn't want to polish the blade face, as it might lessen the grip of the glue. But I do seal the whole blade.

Hindi po eh. Talagang ping pong lang sports ko. Kayo po ba?

Actually, if you coat it now, it will never look like this. The coating will keep your handle bright, clean and shiny. Also, it will prevent it from absorbing your sweat, and won't make your blade heavier in the long run. I had an old Joola Kool blade, I bought it at 85 grams. After 15 years of use, without coating, it weighs now at 100 grams!!! Lol. That's when I decided on coating all my blades.

@@phtabletennisvlog4473 Yeah i coated it twice but not the handle my hands get to sweaty for that sadly, I have a few custom made blades replikas which are totally sealed and I ended up putting a grip tape on it. So for the yinhe I didnt seal the handle although I thought about it a bit. Thx for the heads up. Wasnt aware that the sweat adds weight over time but it does make sense. Might actually seal em all and than put grip tape on em. :D

@@ajoydas-Watch-It Yeah, I didn't use to be bothered with sweaty hands. But for the past few weeks, my hands have been getting massively sweaty when playing. Experimenting now on what to do about that. If I find something that works other than a grip tape, I'll let you know.

Nope. But you have to at least have a resident sponsor your visit.

Kayunya agak lembut, terbuat dari 1 lapis Ayous. Brand-nya Yinhe.

Haha! Thanks sa games din!!!

Lakas umispin ni Gin!

Haha! Di naman. Pero nakarami na ako ng laro nan. Tsaka manipis tshirt ko. Haha.

Yup! Tapos taraflex pa yung flooring, kaya kahit mga lumang sapatos, pwede ipanglaro.

Haha! Dinaya ko yan. Pinakita ko lang yung magagandang palo. Hehehe

Pero pumoste ako nung araw na yan. Minsan lang mangyare yun eh. Haha!

Nice!!!! Glad this video helped!!! Cheers!

Yang sinampolan kong raketa is mga 15 years old na. Nangingitim na din yung handle. Baka kaya pa, depende kung kano kalalim sumuot yung dumi. Pero usually nasa ibabaw lang yung dumi.

Yes, pwede. Right now, nasa 2nd floor yung laruan. Alam ko hanggang 9pm ata bukas. Or lagpas pa.

Nice!!! I should try that. It doesn't become slippery?

@@phtabletennisvlog4473 No. If you sandpaper it, it will feel like wood, but the wax is already embedded into the wood fibers and pores, especially if you use a cloth to smear it in when it is still in liquid form. Also don't drip wax all over it like I did on my first experiment on my childhood Stiga Clipper from over 20 years ago. The first time I did it, it has "water stain" marks all over it and I panicked. I scraped the wax off and sanded it down back to the normal wood color after 2 hours. I found out that it is not necessary. On all my newer blades, I just LIGHTLY crayon the candle over it and melt it with fire. And then smear with cloth. Then lightly sand it until the feel is right. Is about 30 minutes in total. I put 2 VERY LIGHT layers of wax on all my rackets.

@@DaigoParry Cool!!! I'll try that on my next racket! Thanks!!!

For the face of the blade, usually, you wouldn't need to reseal it at all, as the wood will absorb the sealer and keep it there permanently. But there may be cases where the sealer gets peeled off. Although, I have never seen it happen.

@@phtabletennisvlog4473 thank you

May I ask why? How do you remove top surface dirt/grime? Thanks!

Sure thing!

Thanks! Pag mapadpad ka ng Manila, palo tayo!
