TTNPP for $38. Also, Paddle Palace will match pricing. |

Paddle Palace does price matching and they'd match an overseas company? Can you send me a link to that information?

I cannot link you to my personal experience.  I've ordered multiple sheets of BFM2 from them for $38 per sheet, multiple times, and each time I cited TTNPP as a source. You just need to call them. There are limits to what they'll match, though. Even though they matched TTNPP, a Chinese website, they said there are certain overseas sites they won't match simply due to the frequent "fake" issue. So you'll probably have to call them and determine the price on a case by case basis. |

Good to know. I wonder if they'd match tabletennis11 + their discount

This was a great signature until I realised it was overrated.

Looks like I broke the system.
Just spoke with Judy from PP due to a shipping issue. When she found out what Les gave me the BFM2 for, she was not at all thrilled. She said she is going to contact Donic so we'll see where that goes, but it may not be possible to get the M2 from PP for the TTNPP price of $38 anymore. You'll just have to order from TTNPP and wait the extra week or so, if you want that price. |

Going rate in Europe is 38 euros, about 50 bucks.

You may have broke more than PP's price matching. It sounds like PP is going to try to get Donic to pressure TTNPP to raise their price.  |

That's the impression I got (though I'd argue it wasn't my fault). I ordered M2 and received M3 and Judy was simply correcting my order and happened to see the price he charged me. She claimed that TTNPP is in "a lot of trouble" with a lot of manufacturers for selling things as cheap as they do. |

PP isn't the 1st nor will it be the last store to complain about ttnpp's prices. The manufacturers won't do anything until it impacts the orders they receive from the large merchants like pp because unless that happens, their profits remain the same. This is unlikely because a lot of people either don't know about ttnpp, or prefer not to order from them due to shipping time, or their customer service issues.
You could make the argument that the manufacturers like ttnpp because they probably make large orders and because it's cheaper it gets their equipment out there to build popularity. |

ttnpp isn't the only place with those prices. Apart from our own tibike, there is also timtts.be which has a similar thing going not only with Donic but with Joola. I think if paddlepalace doesn't want to match and if rubber manufacturers want to charge the hell out of the US population, that is their prerogative. I will continue to look for the cheapest price.

Actually, I didn't mean to imply that it was your fault. Many vendors with price matching policies get upset when they are forced to honor them, and many complain to the manufacturer to try to bring pressure on the lower priced seller. It can lead to an antitrust violation called resale price maintenance. But that is a discussion for another forum. |

Like what the other said, if you don't have a good technique and agility plus endurance, T05 is quite meaningless. Ive tried 05 and 64 the first month after the release, frustrated because of my inability to use their full potential. Never the less, they're mind blowing.
Been sticking with Palio Thor's and yes using speedglue (not tuning but there's no other glue available). This rubber got the speed but not that spinny. Alas, I've been beaten by those who used BTY classic rubber.

Yes, I am the adidas fans and I was just learned that from the Japanese table tennis magzine. My skill is not at the level to tell the difference between T05 and TenZone. There are many good rubbers out there and I am sure Bluefire M2 is a good rubber as well.

Good point! Another issue is that some retailers get better pricing from the major manufacturer, because their local market in their country cannot afford the higher pricing (ie. poorer countries). Obviously the intent of the manufacturer is that the goods get sold to their local market, but if these stores start selling internationally online, they have an unfair advantage over other retailers. |
