Come and join us today (Monday 30/11/2015) vanpersie and conholio.

This week I'm not free to join, sorry

thanks for the invite, will check it out if time permits

sorry for my noob question, for handshake player what would be your favorite serve style?

If you ask 20 handshake players here you may get 15 - 16 different answers.
Go back to BASIC.
Basic Service - Topspin, Back/underspin, Side spin (either left or right) and No spin.
If you combine back and side spin, you have a variation. If you serve short or long, also a different variation.

Watch how the Pro.s player serve. Handshake - Jun Mizutani(Jpn), Zhang Zike(China), Timo Boll(Germany) just to name a few. There are more players, chck it out.
Practice on that service with the Basic in mind.

The style that allows me to attack the next ball the best.

wow ver.2
anyone could help me with some info?

looking for c-pen size blade with j-2 holder.
currently using j-pen planning to change to c-pen due to wider surface area
but i'm not comfortable holding the normal c-pen holder.

i found 2 blades seems to match my criteria but
by just looking at the small pic online i can't be satisfied.

anyone know if these 2 blades comparable to most c-pen blade in terms of
surface size

1. patitan II - PJPATJ from here

2. ligh-carbo PJLICJ from here

3.yinhe 986 from here

really need some feedback
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

Agreed with szewooi2001.

Ungka,
If you are looking for a round shape J-pen blade/bat, those days you can get a Butterfly J-pen bat with round shape. YinHe brand also got such bats.

akahao, cs - coming?

kind of since the current j-pen have smaller sweet spot
some times i tried other people c-pen nice feeling. seems like more room to improve

i'm off type of player.
for those few blade i already check:
its either allrounder/off/off+
also weights around 70+
thickness about 6+
(not many to choose for this type. the normal c-pen may have thinner/lighter one)

but if i need to state... of course
i'm looking for the lightest one. trying out RPB thus rubber on both side will make it heavier.
so weight around 40+ and thickness around 4-5+

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.

For larger sweet spot using Jpen, can look for hybrid bats like carbon bat which has a larger sweet spot compared with its wooden counterpart.

I am using a 1-ply Hinoki (> 30 year old blade) rated OFF by Butterfly Japan. It's a round shape J-pen. My regular training blade is a squarish 1-ply Hinoki (about 20 years old) rated O/ALL.
Search the web, maybe there's one for you. In fact I got mine (comes with a mint looking Tenergy rubber for RM150/= as the owner has given up on table tennis )

Counting down - 8 or more posts, and we will be looking at Ver. 3. (Note: current version started by Steven_G)

But some one (I think it is a member named ufaik) already posted Ver.2.5 forgetting that there is an active table tyennis thread in Ver. 2.

Hope the Admin. can link these two (Ver.2 & Ver. 2.5) together once the "quota" have been met.

If I'm not wrong, we can go up to 120+ pages. Once the mod request us to create a new thread, we can do so. We can use ufaiq's thread that he created to reduce confusion.

Oh ya, 2,500 posts. (equivalent to >120 pages). Still long way to go.

Yes, agreed with you Steven after ver. 2 has reached its limit, to use ufaiq's thread as ver. 3.

this looks like where i'm heading. from jpen to cpen.
looking at yinhe 986. seems like the good option for now.
maybe i'll give it a try first anyway.

IMO jpen seems not suitable for RPB. based on i dont see people with jpen doing RPB except me. haha
currently using dawei blade with rubber on both side. its the squarish type one.
pretty heavy but thanks to the jpen cork i could hold it with confidence.
never used the round shaped before.


anyway thanks for some heads up.
still doing some searching though.
