after study, all your videos about blades and Rubber the difference about Chinese and European style I change my paddle to Stiga Infinity VPS V Forehand Tenergy 05 Backhand DHS Huricane 3 Provincial (orange Sponge) what I really change is the blade .. So now with the new blade I feel more secure I think its take time to can make an statement but I have more felling and I will thank you for open my eyes and stop to be an EJ (equipment junkie) .. thanks a lot, and I wish you all best for you and your family.

Great explanation. When a person speaks a language which is not his / her mother tongue, it is essential to go slow. The reverse is also true, to communicate to a person with a language which he / she is nothing at, it is essential to go slow as well.

I took your advice and just switched from soft rubber on carbon blade to hard rubber on all wood blade, and I'm playing terrible. But I will listen to you coach and give it at least 6 months!

[@leotrannnn]

DrivingHawaii if you play with a hard blade, you want a soft rubber so that the ball contacts the blade. If the blade is soft, then use hard rubber so the ball hits the rubber.

[@Waingro808]

[@waffle168]

[@Waingro808]

@@waffle168 Gambler Zen blade and Gambler Burst w/Thor's Hammer sponge. I live in US, so Gamber is a great value. After 6 months I might switch to Hurricane 3 to see what it's like.

I play with a TSP Balsa 8.5 and I find that it's great for looping, blocking, smashing and pushing. I've tried countless baldes and haven't found a better trade-off between control and speed for an all-round attacking game.

[@anastasionas]

Very useful video. I start playing table tennis after 20 years. when I stopped I had a charly roesch 6 ply blade. I started again with a donic baum esprit which is a carbon blade and the point is...I have no control over the ball. Since my charly roesch is destroyed, I am going back to my old George Bohm allround blade and see what happens.

In the video when you mentioned all-wood blades you listed 5-ply and 7-ply. May I know what is the major difference between a 5-ply and a 7-ply all-wood blade? Thanks and I love your videos!

[@solidsail]

Lihao Yeong 7 is faster and 5 is weaker but you have more control. Most champion still using 5. 7 easier to play. Technic is more important. And then blade then rubber.

[@carlatduty6776]

You can't compare Waldner with us mortals

[@ACDandMe]

My favorite blade is Stiga Clipper

[@HKUSAPDX]

@ 4:30, The one ply blade shows it has been cracked and repaired. I used to be a one ply Hinoke player, and a few of them got crack at the grain while accidently hitting the table. One of the biggest disadvantage by choosing One-Ply. The blade would not play the same (more vibration) even putting it back together.

[@allenlee3839]

How about have a lecture on type of rubbers , the difference on hard ,soft ,etc.

[@brodino]

I am an intermediate player. And I have the Timo Boll ALC blade. I like it very much, it is very fast, powerful and mostly, it doesn't vibrate too much. I hate blades that vibrate, i.e. the ZLC. But sometimes I feel like it is too "dead", since the ALC system basically removes almost any vibration. And I feel like it lacks a bit in control. I would probably play better with a blade that has slightly more vibration, and a bit less faster. Maybe an all wood blade. Do you have something to suggest?

[@larryshrekker916]

What do you recommend looking for when buying table tennis shoes for competition?

[@vladshults5395]

[@alfredw.f1445]

Wow to day I was thinking in changing my equipment for a faster blade with this video but now I won't , I have train more because I'm not consistent with my forehand thanks you know a lot I always think that the rubber was 80% of the playing style and 20 rubber % but now think it it true the blade affects more on the playing style :)

[@piyushrocksss]

Hi Coach, Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, you are making a big difference for players like me who do not have a coach to guide us. I am an intermediate/progressing player who is still learning the correct techniques and I would like your suggestion on a good racket set-up. please suggest me good blade and rubbers for forehand and backhand... I am a backhand dominant player who plays close to table and mid-distance. I have a attacking game. After watching your videos I went back to a very old Stiga pre-made 20 dollar bat and found that it gave me great control and feeling. It was very light and had a small dimensions(small i size) so I was able to switch between FH and BH easily which made me feel that the bat was an extension of my arm. Your advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

[@drgaurav75]

i have been playing with Waldner black devil blade for the last 2 years.Only after seeing your video ,i understood my mistake. i have now narrowed down my blade choice to waldner senso carbon, ma lin extra offensive and ma lin carbon. which in your opinion is a better choice.

[@mathematechxblackboard1942]

Hi! Have you created a video specific to "How to choose a chinese rubber?" You mentioned in your other video that you will make one. Are commercial hurricane rubbers good enough to start with? Thank you.

[@citrayuwono1491]

Hi Coach. I have been watching your videos and it has been very helpful. Thank you. I want to ask, I have been playing in the office, so mainly just short games, but I want to develop my strokes now. Before I watched your videos, i have purchase several blades; a mazunov, primorac carbon, clipper wood, xiom vega pro, stiga intensity nct. I can play ok with all of those, but I am wondering if I should get an all around (maybe stiga all around classic) to improve my strokes. What do you think? Also, I have been using Hurricane 3 on my forehand, which I like a lot, but I do not have a go to backhand rubber yet. I am looking at Stiga Mantra S, or Rakza 7 soft, or donic acuda s2 / baracuda. What do you think? I mainly push and receive short serve with backhand while loop with forehand. Thank you.

[@solidsail]

Citra Yuwono technic is more important. If you can’t find the difference from different blades. You are not powerful enough. Stay with one blade till you feel you improved first. The rubber is the least important thing

[@mrtopramen]

I like how much you shit on non-chinese table tennis Hahaha totally agree though :D

[@Unstapables]

This is very informative but like you mentioned it is based on the fact that you start off with a good blade (1 that is recommended for you ) , i play 3-4 times /month so once a week (self thought), about a year ago i bought a new paddle for attack since i like that play style. While the paddle was an improvement to the blade i was using till then , i got no way of knowing if my new paddle (5 layer wood) is good attack blade or bad compared to whats on the market. Every person i played against and they tried my blade, was shocked to learn that im playing with a 210Gram forward heavy paddle.I am thinking of switching the paddle to something lighter in hope of getting more power , but if i switch to something at 180 gram i fear my control will be terrible.

I'm a penholder with RBP and ofensive player (OFF - or OFF) and I play since 2010. I would like some advices about equipments (rubber and blade) and techniques for this playing style.

Hello. Could you advise the Allround blade rubbers ? For example, I consider: Donic Appelgren Allplay, Yasaka Sweden Classic, Stiga Allround Classic etc. I am a self-taught amateur and have made a lot of progress as a recreational player. I had three rackets folded by myself. 1. Donic Waldner Exclusive AR +, Donnic Akkadi Taichi fh and bh 2. Donic Persson Seven, Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft bh, Rakza 7 fh 3. Donic Waldner Exclusive AR +, Donic Bluefire JP 03 bh, Bluestorm Z3 fh Something must have been wrong because the balls were flying behind the table or stopped on the net. Of course, I am aware of technical shortcomings. Overall, I would describe myself as an Allround with an ambition to play offensive. I am looking for a suitable board and cladding for the first years of basic training. I heard that the best allround blades are 100% wood and soft rubber to start with. I am asking for help and Best Regards.

Thank you so much for the video. Could someone please advise, is the new poly ball is referring to the new plastic ball?

Hi, what are the thoughts on "Tenaly" blades? it's the ones with the slightly curved handle made by Nittaku.

[@rikitoy]

I used Tenaly before. It's an acquired taste. I play penhold, that's why it's an easy transition to shakehand. The head is quite small, and at the same time, have to decide which one is your FH rubber and which one is your BH rubber, as the cut of the rubber is not the same.

As a shake hand player, I found the balance to be"off". It seemed to be heavier in the "front" due to the head hanging lower. I just hope it doesn't affect my mechanics in a bad way
