ya getting to play for casual ? more "serious" ?
hmm, most i think use , butterfly or STIGA, carbon graphite.
what about sponge and rubber ?
last i know of is , rubber must have the ITTF to play in competition, and think the thickness of sponge got limit too (dunnoe this rule got change anot )
does the vaneco sport do custom carbonfibre graphite board?
I play short hand too...but am trying to practise more on the long hand.
currently my short hand bat is erm...butterfly but its a one sided rubber
everytime reverse and hit the ball, can't stand the sound ...."PPPPIIIIIIIAAAAAAKKKKKKK"! and i don't have control over the spin LOL
machiam like the ball going to break liao...
anywayz i still old schooled....still using previous championship 5 star balls....coz they are smaller and heavier....makes GREAT smashes....dun like the new enlarged lighter balls......very **** ....travel thru air oso like "hang" there so long LOL
:bsmilie:Yeah... the old kind is 30mm while the newer one or the one FTTA? is using now is 40mm.
I think the idea of bigger ball is to slow down the speed n spin of the ball thats why it like 'hang' in the air!:bsmilie:
As for the bat Long hand or short Butterfly is good enough just got to choose the type of rubber which suits u!
IIRC for short hand u are allowed to stick rubber at the back of the bat (meaning both side rubber) n can be use! Can be use even in tournaments...not sure abt latest ruling!
yar lar...its supposed to slow down the speed and spin of the ball...supposed to make it more "enjoyable" by all ages ........ now is fttc?.....duhz...the ones i still using are HKTTF, ITTF GERMANY Sunflex and for the training ball?........hehehehe....double happiness
LOL!
but hor....too slow lar...LOL...i prefer it fast and furious ....can u imagine maybe super slowed it down till, smash oredi...the ball still travel so slowly....wah lauz...will sianz one loh...
lol
Hmmmm... right now because its only 1 side rubbered for my butterfly...., its light and i can react fast...if i put on another rubber the other side......hmmmmmmmmmmm.......maybe need to go for finger physiotherapy :bsmilie:
my wife's using the donic control but long hand one..... wah lau heavy loh :S... so maybe i should go custom mine.....carbon graphite............yum yum
Still have the bat from my secondary school days. Back then, custom-made bats were pretty expensive with the bulk of the money going to the bat. Bought the Stiga All-Round Classic and their discontinued Syncro rubber which was very thin Good for spin but I am a very defensive player
Will be great if can meet fellow CSers who are also into table tennis
I've played defensive player b4......very stress siah....the ball keep coming back......haha....
Would be great if we can play together....haha... Maybe we shall start a clubsnap TT group or something....:bsmilie:
i very louya at spins one
i like to play fast and reactive game ..... maybe i should learn how to spin LOL!
