but with innova it is really slow unless you speed glue it, after all its a speed glue rubber. thats what i found out so next time you read that amazing marketing campagin about feel, speed, control and whaterver the hell crap they are trying to market, make sure you hear form others and get opinions! i must say that innova was light as...felt like i was holding nothing. great control but works much better glued.

offensive is really hard and fast, great for a game that is far from the table but as i have crap fitness, i dont go far since then you have to move more lol, its got a great whack to it.

deosnt matter if you dont play comps, do you train? do you go to clubs etc to play wht others? thats the best way to learn, you play comps to learn more and try to win a trophy :) id like to challenge you if i could!

edit: you guys can pay whatever the hell you want for a bat, the point is that poeple will pay for goo d quality equipoment, and it also depends on the reason. i dont expect a recreational/novice to invest in some technologically superior bat unless they have that ability to handle it and are playing with it instead of using it as a show piece and cant handle the bat. I admit i used ot be like that too, wanted the best, but im better with my present combo which is easy to use and has good quality that i need instead of those crappy dunlop ones at kmart.
I don't go to clubs, but then again, if I had time/money :D i would...

I play quite a lot though, with my friends and used to play with my dad. Also, I play at school with random peeps. A couple thought they were good, so me and my friend played against them in doubles and smashed them :D. Too bad I can beat everyone I know. I've been playing for ~ 2 yrs. And can loop from both forehand and backhand pretty consistantly i think...

yeah, well.. you'd probably smash me seeing i have had no actual coaching. BUT, i watch table tennis sometimes and saw some coaching clips which explain how you do the strokes.

My current bat is a stiga scorpio (2 star pre-assembled bat from rebel). I just need more speed cause i like playing from a good distance back but the bat is kinda constraining, often the ball hits the net if I don't give enough force.

Well, I don't want to use speed glue... is there any good blade that doesn't need speed glue and is fast?

thnx

funniboi and YBK, which schools? Funniboi, are you form CAnley vale ?

anyway, guys if you want to watch some TT, asian champs 1 1/2 hrs, its on SBS at 2.00pm toaday!!!!!SUnday 11/9/05
woohoo, just found out, gonna tape it.

oh ic funniboi, dun worry about the rubber than, you should sell it to YBK! Mark V is a really good rubber for beginners and pros alike.

MY old HS [im at uni] is Cabra High adn yeah not many peopel play or thinks its a sport...but anyway, i put some interet in it a couple of years ago and the teachers have kept on withthat legacy...

edit: YBK, nah im not that evil to smash you straight away, plus you need to play advanced palyers to help yourself, see hwo they do things and copy their styles, i mean thats how i learned, after you can do exactly as they do, you can then understand hwo to do it and learn. e.g. serving and you can learn other ways of doing it as long as you understand the need for friction, relaxation of grip and where you brush the ball.

I used to play tabble tennis.

Made the state squad. But I quit. Travel was too hard on my family, and the skill level down here was too little for me to keep up without making constant trips to sydney to train.

My last bat was a joola cat (i think thats the name, i cant remember), with 2 sheets of sriver.

I probably played a lot of you guys.
