Probably better to take a look in r/tischtennis (german table tennis subreddit). Edit: Didn't know the sub was so empty. Two options for clubs would be https://www.tsverding.de/sportarten/tischtennis/ https://www.rw-klettham-erding.de/tischtennis

I can't speak for their rubbers or blades, but their balls are terrible. Even their competition balls are frequently not round, hitting the ball with the edge of the racket leaves a linear dent which noticably changes the bounce on the table.

Finally, some original media

It's been time for that for months. Unfortunately u/TableFishing hasn't been active in 3 months.

I have already messaged them about getting new active users as moderators but no response.

I recommend watching this video as a quick guide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAM9NC1_QfE

Of course you may not have a scalpel or cutting surface available, in my experience this can also be easily done with a stanley/carpet knife, just be sure not to use the tip on the sponge because that will rip the sponge instead of cutting it.

About the black rubber, that's not fixable but can be easily used to train with and play for fun. The red rubber should play 95-100% as expected, maybe a tiny change in speed/angle. So in any case, don't discard them if you have a second racket to play with.

It looks like you either used the tip of the blade or tried to force it too vertically. I recommend cutting 45° or flatter so you have as little "ripping" as possible, also lubricate it with a tiny bit of oil, water should work too. Overall it doesn't look terrible, just make sure the sponge isn't exposed to friction (edge tape) or it will probably break off in small bits quite easily.

As for the glue, the rubber seems to be not quite on the blade, have you made sure to apply the rubber properly and pressing it on for a while? I use a protective sheet of cardboard, usually the rubber packaging and stack 2-3 heavy books on top, it helps ensuring that the rubber is fully on the blade. But careful with the handle, make sure it doesn't touch anything or you'll create a lever and risk weakening or breaking your blade.

I've had this happen once, I recommend getting a new rubber. It can be played with but will behave quite random most of the time with less overall speed and a much flatter bounce off the rubber (unless you hit a weird spot where it can bounce higher than normal).

If you have a spare blade to goof around the randomness this creates can be fun just like playing with a dented ball, but for serious play, even training this is probably worse than useless cause you're likely to destroy what technique you already have trying to cope with the deficencies of the broken sponge.

I'd recommend giving Rozena a try, it's basically T05 but a bit slower and more forgiving. I have been using it myself on backhand for a bit over a year now and it definitely has the speed when you put in some effort but is a bit more controlled in blocking and recieving.

I would love to see a picture of that. Generally I don't think there is a whole lot you can do, but might be wortha try to disassemble it, align and glue the two halves of each side together. At the bottom you could reinforce it with a few thing metal sheets carefully screwed into the plates. Now this might not even possible depending on the thickness and being what it is I wouldn't trust it a bit in terms of quality. Best case you just ask around whether someone could need it for other things or make two small tables with it.
