“Where can I rent table tennis or ping pong blades, bats, frame or rackets and rubbers?” I hear this question so often from serious players as well as novices alike. To some, the equipment junkie-ism takes them through a journey of one equipment after another. They are so thirsty to try one equipment after another. [...]
Have you seen the XIOM catalog? Have you looked at their blades list and the blade performance chart? If you have, then you may be one of those who are confused by its rating.

We are talking about the professional table tennis rubbers available in market that you can buy and attach to a blade. The official colors of table tennis or ping pong is Red [...]
Everyone needs an explanation what does a cutman means. The TSP Cutman is a defensive rubber for the moderan defensive players. I have not seen a similar rubber to TSP Cutman in the market. I can think of Dr.Neubauer ABS, but that is an anti-spin rubber. The TSP Cutman is not an anti-spin rubber. It’s [...]
I’m not a Chinese rubber fan. They lack quality and consistent performance. My dislikes to Chinese rubbers happened few years ago in the speed glue era. I did not use speed glue, and none of the Chinese rubbers could give me good performance. I have to reconsider this facts again when I have looked at [...]
