Contrary to what most people say, Hammond Alpha Pro has a surprisingly grippy top sheet. Its not tacky at all but not smooth either. You could compare it to that of Bryce if it is well maintained. Not exposed to dust, water, oil, those shenanigans.

Hurricane 3 has always been my all time favorite rubber. I’ve tried lots of different forehand rubber like Haifu BW2, Hammond, Sriver EL, Sriver, Sriver FX, Sriver G2 FX, Mark V, Bryce, Tenergy 05, Bryce Speed FX, Bryce Speed, Neos Sound, whenever I go play with Hurricane I’m always playing my best.

Top quality ball from Nittaku. These balls are very consistent and they always fly exactly like they should, give you great feeling. Durability is not too bad compared to DHS balls. The only concern is the high price, but if money is not a problem, you can’t go wrong with Nittaku’s ball.

While it has better control and feeling, Acoustic is a bit slow compared to carbon blades. Must have very good technique to produce really fast ball with this blade, especially since the glue ban. I think it is good for control loop play from both wing, but won’t work for 3rd-ball attackers. Where it really shines is away from the table, great feeling and control for counter topspin. And finally, I love its design and build quality.

I found Waldner Flex a very light-weight and comfortable shoes. The styling is not too bad, but not as sleek as Mizuno’s. The support (cushioning) is not very good, the sole is thin. I guess it’s pretty durable as one of my friend has worn his for one year and it’s still in good condition. In short, if you want a light-weight and comfortable that can help you move around faster, this one is good but if you need good support, go look else where.

The Austrian table tennis superstars Werner Schlager and Liu Jia produced a pop song with the sport colleagues from their country. The song was released on the occasion of the gala night of sport.
The Austrian sports department wants to polish the negative image of sport cause by several doping issues in the recent past.

varnish is really essential to protect your blade. i used this varnish back when vocs were not illegal, but i can not be sure wheter this has them or not. one of my blades sealed with this passed a VOC test, maybe after long periods of exposure the vocs will all evaporate out.

the glue is VOC free, with a synthetic rubber as a basis. you kind of get the feel of speed glue, but actually, just kidding, you do not!!
