Senkoh-1 is a 1-ply Cypress (Hinoki) wood blade. Suitable for an offensive game but not for me as I play an all-round game at the moment. In fact I was trying my friend's Senkoh-1, YinHe J-1 and Champion Bipa (all 1-ply blade) and I must say they have the power for offensive play. A slight movement on my wrist and the ball careens over to the other side speedily. But the speed is too much for me when I push and chop. Senkoh-1 is the better blade, IMO among the 3 and Champion Bipa is the least.

I also have tried carbon and other composite blades (glass fibre, arylate, titanium etc). My comment is that most of these blades are super fast except the LKT glass fibre and Palio Titanium blades which I would ranked (in Butterfly ranks) as ALL+ / OFF-.

There are other pricey blades apart from Nittaku Violin, blades made by TSP, Kokutake etc.

Mark V can also be obtained from Gold Medal Sports Trading (office at UE3, next to Taman Miharja)). Am not sure of Table Tennis Trading in Taman Miharja if they do stock Mark V rubbers.

Can be found from presports

From manufacturer remarks : Made with CROSS (CROsslink Synergy System) Technology, at the core of innovation in rubber. The bonding system between sponge and top-sheet guarantees superior built-in fresh glue effect. The result is a combination of resilient top-sheet and more powerful top-spin shots with bigger arc.

Yes, apparently there are 2 types of Bipa - one RM40.00 and the other RM80.00.
I was informed the difference is in the thickness.

Added on March 9, 2010, 11:51 amFor auto wheel loader, can a film slide rotator be used? Just a suggestion.

In photography, during those film days, there are people taking photo by slides. The slides are mounted in a tray (which can move) to the projector equipment to show the pictures taken. The circular tray where the slides are mount is call film slide rotator, I think.

Another suggestion, using a funnel to channel the ball towards the roller; but the issue is how to make the ball goes to the roller at your wish and not randomly "dropped" from the funnel to the roller.

TTT = Table Tennis Trading at Taman Miharja (Yap's place)

This Saturday, only morning free. Afternoon & evening not free.
Normally when do you play at TTT, Thalis?

Sorry Thalis. This weekend cannot make it.

Long time never log in. Been busy with the Malaysian Youth Championship (technical delegates) last week and went overseas after that and only back yesterday.
Have not been playing ping pong for the last 2-3 weeks already. Will have to readjust this week as some one ask to play friendly against a Klang club this weekend.

Agreed. Bluten is not a good blade, but is a cheap blade.

Keep the old blade, but change the rubber, maybe Nittaku Nanucross.

Thanks tsd.
Check with Terry (of CKK) when can he bring you to the Sunway club to play, I will be there.

As for the Palio Macro Era, I believe it is a tensor rubber, the cheapest if compared with others brand of tensor rubbers. Thalis is correct that TTTrading has the Macro Era at a reasonable price. Buy more can ask for discount.

We played at the Sunway Lagoon Club Tuesday & Thursday 6 - 9 pm. If you are around, just give me a tinkle. H/P No - will PM U.

Wah! See you all enjoy playing already.
Me, still recuperating from shoulder injury (cause by lifting heavy stuff)

Anyway, hope to play with you all sometime in the future.

pp4m tourney won by national player, Mohd syakirin.

Watch Team World Championship held in Moscow on Astro last weekend.
As usual Team China retain the Mens Team title against Germany.
As for the women's team, just like in the Uber cup (badminton) where Korea was the victor, now it is Singapore Women's Team are the new World Team Champion.

FengTW, the "anchor" of Singapore, won against Ding Ning(world #4) in the 1st single and Liu SW(world #1) in the 4th Singles to clinch victory over China 3-1.

Thank you for the info, tsd.
So R U playing in this event?

Yes, Sham called but I was busy with my cousin brother wedding, so I couldn't make it.

To make a team, min. 5 pax, max 7 pax.
I have 2 persons in mind. Terry knows this guy too, a Mr Goh (used to play at Sunway, now mostly at OUG) and another teacher friend, who is currently in China.

Dunno if Terry is interested. Will liase with him once he is back from his overseas holidays.

I think it is good to join for the exposure.

OK. Will update all once I get confirmation by end of next week.

Have not touched table tennis the last 2 weeks, as I have been concentrating on darts for the company I work with Sports Carnival. They have other sports like carrom. badminton, darts, futsal etc.

Most probably will pick up tt bat for a light practice this weekend.

Have a nice day, everyone.

This post has been edited by pingpang: Jun 17 2010, 09:53 AM

Play more often with the bat and the "stickiness" will slowly rub-off.

Congratulations to you and Terry !!

At least the couple of days practice at the SLClub helps!

Oh ya. Played with Terry last week when he first uses his LP and gave him some practice for the church games.
Practice includes me giving him topspin, underspin as well as float balls.

Well, do join us when-ever you are free tsd.
