Added you to our TT whatsapp group

Your gears are expensive.

If you really love TT, find a coach to coach you. The coach will teach you the proper TT basic. Once you get your basic right, you will improve very fast. If your TT basic wrong, you will wrong all the way

To me, it is hard to find a suitable backhand rubber. I found it in YinHe Saturn Pro. Sticking with it. My first satisfying combination is YinHe/Galaxy Saturn Pro (BH) and YinHe/Galaxy Big Dipper (FH). I loved this combo. These 2 rubbers costs about RM160.00 (From www.tenryu.com.my). Very affordable.

But I bought the DHS Hurricane 3, Provincial a few months ago. After wearing off the old rubber, I am now having Saturn Pro (BH) & DHS H3, Provincial (FH). Before starting to play, I already feel the weight of DHS rubber. Its heavy. Will try in a few days time.

Yasaka Rising Dragon is the top rubber right now in tabletennisdb.com. As they said, plenty of spin and very good control.

For beginners, the type of blade is not really a concern until they are strong with the basic skills. A wooden is most suitable to beginners and it is cheap as well.

Continuous multi ball drill of forehand and backhand drives. With correct technique of holding the blade (shakehand or penhold).

Wow!!! Your basic skills is quite solid then.

On serves, you need lots of practice. I spend lots of time practicing serves. In general there are 3 types of serves:

1. Side spin serves (side underspin, side topspin, reverse side underspin, reverse side topspin)
2. Spin and without spin serve
3. Fast serve

I guess you have problems with the first type of serve. This comes with experience when identifying opponent's serve. Also, you must also know how to consistently create side topspin and side underspin serve then only are able to identify those types of serves come from your opponents. Good players tend to serve with the same motion but they hit the ball at different part of the blade or different part of the serving curve generating different type of serves.

To me it has nothing to do with the blade but identifying the opponent's serves. Also, depending on the rubbers you choose. You return the same serve differently with different rubbers i.e. pimple (long, medium and short pimples). anti-spin and inverted rubbers

I haven't used non tacky rubbers before. All the rubbers I used are tacky. That is why I love YinHe Saturn Pro.

We play every Wed at KSL Puchong, starting 9pm. Come join us.

Different type of rubbers

Its KSL Puchong for me, every Wed.

Yes, we are playing at KSL Puchong tonight.

I going to gym from next week onwards. I will how that goes. Thanks

Hi ungka,

Hmm.... you seems to be more concern with the surface size of a blade that other criteria of a blade such as weight, stiffness, type of blade (offensive/defensive/allround) and etc

I can't help you on this maybe others can. I am a c-pen player already on the path to learn RPB. Changed from jpen to cpen. I am using YinHe blade. Chinese blades are heavy and with thickness about 5.6mm-7mm. You have to look for japanese brand blade Juic. By the way, Juic is not available in Malaysia as far as I know.

As for ALL/Off/Off+, I have all of them. Each differs greatly from each other. Too hard to play with OFF+ blade, too slow to play with ALL and in the end, I chose OFF.

Not easy to learn RPB from a traditional penhold (push and block). Need a lot of practice even after you have gotten it right. Then, another plenty of multi ball drills. This is because I have a seen 2 very good players with awesome RPB skills during their practice. They seems to unable to use RPB in match play.

The only player in Malaysia I have seen so far to use RPB with ease is Chu Kim Huey ex-Melaka state player.

Yes, there are players going to AK to play today. Look for CS Lee.

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone celebrating.....

Hmm..... anyone will be playing TT during CNY week next week?

My Setup:
1. YinHe D-K4 penhold

2. YinHe Big Dipper FH

3. YinHe Saturn Pro BH

Putrajaya Precinct 9 has many good players, it is too far for me unfortunately. If it is convenient, please drop by KSL Puchong on Tue, 9-11pm. I have a group of friends playing there.
