lanatir, wat rubber u using in ur YEO??

H2#19 but i will change to something faster next time. this one gives me a lot of control and spin though

how about back hand??
cj8000 tensor
?

nope. just dr evil. i am not an RPB player.

Short pips?

I am using Penhold Grip btw, i am interested in Butterfly bats..How bout Timo Boll 500??

yes i know u're penhold... but chinese or japanese penhold? why timo boll 500?

just realized, timo boll 500, is a shakehand premade bat right?

Would like to apologize for my mistake

Actually i am using the shakehand grip..need to get my facts rite

The price is quite cheap

for a good low priced premade SH, i've heard good things about the butterfly primorac attack. i think the price is ard RM60-70. the rubber on it is flextra. if u buy just the rubber only it's already ard RM50 each.

I was wondering too, Timo Boll 500 is a SH bat. Anyway Notoriez, Butterfly Primorac Attack is nice as it comes with Flextra on both side like what lanatir mentioned.

Today I washed my Stiga Innova, washing off all the speed glue I used before this, applying new layer, was thinking, if dont want to use speed glue, any alternative VOC free glue that available in the market right now ? Suitable for Tensor rubber ?

yes there is. it is best to use those specifically for tensor (as we may not have any idea what happens if we don't). currently using andro free glue for tensors (free meaning VOC free not FOC ) on my strad with the zeta. it is water based and takes a bit longer to dry.

fyi, i've used a regular glue for my Yasaka Pryde tensor on my DHS HHao to no ill effect as far as i can see.

Suits my play?

Any more bat to recommend? Thanks ya

most of the premade bats are mediocre in most aspects and are quite ok to play with. i never really used them so i can't say much. u can also decide on a cheap DHS with 2 chinese rubbers that may fall just under your budget.

the other shakehanders should help!

I see..will definitely get a better ones with custom rubbers + blade but for now just want to upgrade myself with a slightly better ones from my company's RITC bat..

Which shop that you can recommend so that i can get a better price? Pertama? Subang area dun have?

I'd say get a good blade so it can serve u for a quite some times. You can get cheaper rubber first, after a while you can upgrade your rubber without having much headache on your already bought good blade. Perhaps any shakehanders to recommend you a good blade.

Subang ? Hehehe. You should visit www.presports.com to get urself poisons and antidotes, mind you its venomous

If you want all around blade, I think Stiga Optimum Sync is just nice. My little brother currently using that blade and it has good loop/spin and speed, not forgetting it has good control too. But I think other shakehanders will recommend you a better SH blade later

p/s : My brother got 3rd place for KL MILO HOPES Under 13 Table Tennis Competition yesterday, he seemed very confident of himself before the tourney but once in a while u have to take beating in ur life in order to make u a better player in the future, furthermore he's just standard 5 this year, still has lot to learn.

wah i'm sure your brother can beat me!

yes presports/triox is in subang square ss15 (building in front of secret recipe).

u can get the bty timo boll yuki or bty primorac attack there. both uses flextra.

pertama is of course lucky sports near uncle win kopitiam.

anyway mizi gave good advice. i hear ppl talk about the stiga a lot. buy a good blade and use cheaper rubbers then slowly upgrade. i think if u can find milkyway/yinhe blades, u will find them excellent value for the price (i know some people swear by them).

btw mizi, i hear on mytt that KKT cho super cho is currently out of stock at iruiru!

Yinhe is one of find blade too, followed by Dawei. Both also produce good blades with cheap price. One of the forummer (afosz) using Dawei Torrent with Palio Maximo and Hidden Dragon. The blade itself cost like RM120, is a 7 or 5 ply with carbon. Quite good (as you actually quite impossible to get a BTY carbon blade for that price), a decent blade with speed and spin (better if pair up with chinese rubber). But if you particular about brand, then Stiga offers good price range too, like what I recommend earlier. Isnt that good, when u have a good blade in the future all u need is upgrade the rubber rather than buying low range blade and after that you find out it doesnt suit your play (as your skill will be improved) and think it limits your skills and techniques then u have to upgrade your blade too, kinda waste IMHO.

Serious ? Even KKT Cho Super Cho ? At presports KTS also sold out liao. But I thot ur getting Darker Speed 90 next ? If so when and where u get it from ? Graeztch ?

And dont think so my brother can beat you la, he's good I have to admit but to compete against adult like you it takes more than just good

And anyone here interested in playing in Menteri Side Spin 2009 on 31st Jan 2009 ? Here's the form - Menteri Side Spin's 2009 Registration Form

thats what i heard lah. some ppl tried to order KKT cho super cho and iruiru told them habis. no surprise though bcos cho super cho are produced in limited numbers every year. u can give it a shot and telephone them to ask. my plans for the speed90 is derailed due to exchange rate now (but if i were to get it, it will be from iruiru). i'll be playing around with my current blades first anyway. as i have found great success in the zeta/stradivarius combination, i want to improve that. i'll probably put an inspirit quattro on my YEO next to see if i can make an even better combo for myself.

i love my KKT super cho with tenergy as nothing beats that for speed in my collection but sometimes it's just too bloody uncontrollable. the day will come when i will finally use my KTS or cho super cho with the most preferred rubber i have experienced. right now, i don't think i'm good enough yet to handle those blades with a fast tensor or tenergy variant.
