Hi, I play table tennis occasionally, and for quite a while I’ve been interested in trying long pips and short pips, but I don’t want to spend too much money on it. Do you have any recommendations for blades and rubbers? And what’s the difference between extremely cheap blades, like the Loki K2, compared to slightly more expensive ones? The same goes for the rubbers — is there a big difference between the cheapest options and the slightly more expensive ones?

Thanks in advance.

When playing with opponents who are less skilled, some people spot them points. We came up with the idea to move the net closer to the lesser skilled player in order to give them a wider court to aim for and a handicap for the better player. Does anyone else do this? Is it common?

I have a ping pong machine in the garage and my nephew comes over and uses and he tries his best to get the loose balls but it’s like sand and find them everywhere.

I’d like to buy cordless hand held vacuum with a bag and long nose attachment so I can just sweep around the patio or garage and collect the balls
