Joola Mambo H Tuning 2.0 mm Review

March 27, 2008

I was in Europe last year. I had a chance to meet Alexander Karakasevic of Serbia. I had to confirm the rumor that I was hearing from a lot of people about the forehand and backhand rubbers he uses. He handed over his paddle to me to hit few balls. I could not withstand the [...]

Joola USA Table Tennis Super Camp 2008

March 23, 2008

What kind of feeling you will have when you see a man, whom you have seen over and over on TV for many years, enters your room and also close to you and you can hand shake with him - butterfly in the stomach?
I have been watching Chen Weixing’s tournament videos – plenty of them [...]

XIOM Omega II (2.0 & MAX sponge) Review

March 22, 2008

Before I opened this rubber from its case, I had a pretty good idea about what it was going to do. I normally don’t have that intuition of any new rubber that I haven’t tested before. It met my expectations of an offensive rubber for extreme top spin game. In few words, I would say [...]

Xiom Guillotine 1.2 mm & 1.6 mm Long Pips Rubber Review

March 13, 2008

XIOM Guillotine
The XIOM Guillotine is one of the long pips rubbers that I liked a lot and use it. This rubber has a lively feeling because of the tensor technology that built into it. If you have used Joola Octopus, TSP P1R or Dr.Neubauer long pips rubber before, the XIOM Guillotine does not have a [...]

XIOM Yanus DF Rubber Review

March 11, 2008

I occasionally use this rubber and love a lot. This rubber is not for a classic defensive player. This rubber suits a modern defensive player – for his forehand or backhand. It also suits an attacker who needs a variation in his backhand.
The XIOM Yanus DF rubber has a soft top sheet and sponge. I [...]

March 9, 2008

A regular question that comes to me often from long pips players is that what long pips has good spin reversal which is close to a frictionless long pips rubber can generate. After using Joola Octopus for a while, I would say this rubber has good reversal comparing with many other long pips rubbers.
This is [...]

How somebody can spoil your good day at the club?

March 3, 2008

Believe it or not! I hate it when someone sits behind the table where I’m playing - within just feets away - and murmuring a long story to someone else. That keeps me out of focus while I play. That’s what happened exactly at the club yesterday. A guy who was absent for some months [...]
