please need your advice about which the suitable blade and rubber for me, I'm not a beginner and not a professional, I'm good and i'm improving, but I'm wondering about which the best kind for me. I see this blade and rubber (http://www.megaspin.net/store/default.asp?pid=xiom-cmb-off-2) what do you think about them?. I'll be very happy with your quick reply. 

 regards.

Hi Muhannad,

This looks like a reasonable option.  We also have the PingSkills Touch that you can look at as an option.

Dear Alois,

Thanks for the very quick reply. As I watched the video, I think Mark V is the right one for me cuz this is my first time purchasing racket. But still one more question I have about which one now you prefer for me honestly, as I trust you to give me the honest answer cuz I liked both of them, and if I purchase the Mark v does glue come with the package or not ?.

thanks in advance..

Hi Muhannad,

They are both similar so go with whichever you prefer.  I don't know enough about the other one but know the Touch is good quality.

Hi Alois,

sorry, I just read the article, so if you gonna glue the rubbers onto the blade, so will you send a glue tray with it or not ?

Hi, Alois,

I was searching about my country name (Iraq) but I couldn't find it in the country field, so what I have to do if I wanna buy?

Hi Muhannad, The best thing to do is contact PayPal and check with them.

Hi Jeff, Alios,

Thanks for your interest about the subject. Well, I really get upset about trying to find a way to contact you. As I asked, there's no contact with the PayPal in our country!, and I tried with another site to pay by master-card cuz the one I have is LOCAL, So I have to open account in another bank with at least 250$ and I have to pay 145$ fees for the master-card! and I have to wait for 15 days till I get the card. So I gave up, and I have contacted my uncle in Sweden to purchase for me and send it back. Sorry I couldn't purchase something from your site as I was very interested to get a one. I have purchased this blade [http://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/tt-blade-nittaku-kiley#.UmW7IDgwuIU ] and this rubber [http://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/tt-rubber-tibhar-nimbus-soft#.UmW7JDgwuIU]. I'll be very pleased with your feedback.

Sorry about the long essay I've wrote!, but just want you to know what I suffered. It seems to me that the world go forward while our country go behind!..Thanks for your cooperation again.

warm regards.

Hi Muhannad,

Sorry for your hassles.  The blade and rubber look like a good choice.  Let me know when it arrives what it is like.

Hi couch,

Thank you for the quick reply, of course I will do. It will take round about one month to arrive.

I meant (Coach*), sorry for the slip.

Hi Coaches,

please need your help ASAP. the blade and rubber delivered now, but I did a mistake, I purchased one rubber instead of two (cuz I thought it's already has two in one pack!), and this is the rubber (http://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/tt-rubber-tibhar-nimbus-soft#.UnDK5DKTKIU) and I purchased the red color.

So my question now, should I purchase the same rubber for the forehand or backhand or I have to purchase another kind ?

which is the best solution for that please?


Alois Rosario

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 10 years ago

You can just purchase the same rubber in black for the other side.

Dear Coaches Alois-Jeff,

I am intending to order the rubber (ROZENA) from Butterfly, but I was wondering what is the main differences between 1.9mm & 2.1mm thickness in term of playing style. thanks in advance.


Alois Rosario

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 5 years ago

The 2.1 mm i faster and more spin.  Depends if that is what you are looking for.
