For yinhe bats, if you are in Klang valley, you can visit tenryu shop in USJ subang jaya, they have alot of Yinhe blades for sales.  As you can see from their website, lots of them to choose from https://www.tenryu.com.my/store/?m=cat&cat_...3&ft=&bt=20&tt=

This shop is opened by a famous former national player, so you can be assured those bad are not fake and are of good quality. Because they have the knowledge on what to stock up and what not to stock up.

for table tennis bat, it is better to be able to feel/touch before buying.  You can also use their weighing machine to check the bat weight.  You know exactly what you will get but online you only have a picture to refer to. OF cos sometimes we have no choice because shop is too far. then just buy online, otherwise it is better to visit the shop.

nice looking bats, yes... those backhand rubbers can be very confusing because everyone use it differently. Sometimes very hard to read the body movement to anticipate the kind of shots coming from those backhand. 

I am also player from the past,  I have not been active for more than 20 years, Started playing during my school days from 1980, peaked in 1992 and stop around 1995. My current bat was bought in 1991, still in good playing condition ( although I do change the rubbers ). Now at 49, feels like getting back into active table tennis.

Few month back I join a small table-tennis competition, still can give my opponents a hard time. Most importantly, it was was so fun, hope to play more in the near future.

I wonder if we can get some video on how to use such combination. Never came cross this before.

Double sided with pimple up

sorry for a long delay in reply, I went away before Christmas for holiday, came back just before new year and have been sick since then. So darn unhealthy nowadays. Missed those days when I was young, can play in the hot sun for hours, rush out to play football in the rain... yet never worried about getting sick. Nowadays just hit by a few drops of rain, few days suffering in the bed.

anyway, I m located in Subang Jaya. Ya, I would love to have friendly games.

double sided pimple are very popular among old people   Actually any kind of rubber also can play well as long as the player can master it well. However those smooth rubber do have more advantage over pimples. Pimples are very impressive to confuse people but once people are used to it, it could be an liability. Pimples just don't have enough grip to control the ball, you have to depend on your opponents spin. The only type of pimple that is deadly is the short one, they can do those crazy high speed flat smash regardless of what spin you give him.

Yes, I agree with you about the accuracy of those short pips, needs a lot of practice. Not just short pips, even the smooth rubber also needs a lot of practice. I have met many people with excellent skills and techniques, most of them have trouble to be consistent in their shots due lack of practice. So your idea of playing defensive+offensive may be highly rewarding, just wait for opponent to throw away points and you can still attack when your opponent becomes accurate. My style of play is different, it is all out attack, unfortunately as I grow older it is becoming more and more difficult, get tired very fast. Sometimes I do feels like trying defensive game but for now I still stick to my original style.

What type of service you like to do with your pen hold ? I always envy pen-holder service. You guys have so much luxury wrist work to twist and turn your bats during service

Average player looking for TT kaki at Kajang area.

Where and when do you usually play?
I dont mind going to Jln Ipoh.

ya, those new generation rubber do feels nice to play, they do generate very strong shots but the problem is the price. No way I am spending that amount of money on them, unless I am sponsored by someone else. Sometimes we think all the national players are using tenergy, therefore we must use it also. The only reason I believe the national players are using it is because they are not paying for it, they are all getting tenergy for free.

Although those tensor rubber do generate greater speed ans spin, on paper it is an advantage over a player with lower grade equipment, but in reality it might not be true. Producing heavy shots sometimes can be a liability, if you get a good blocker with a regular smooth rubber or pimples rubber, your heavy high speed top spin may come back to destroy yourself. 

So  I feel, a decent rubber with a good grip and consistent in play is good enough.

yes, that is the biggest problem. players are all over the place. Not easy to travel as some of the traffic condition are horrible,
