My vote is either Yasaka Sweden Extra or Butterfly Petr Korbel. Can’t go wrong with neither of those blades as your first custom one Alex Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

interesting idea, hmm... :) On a second thought, I'm not yet comfortable bringing a camera to the gym and setting it up to videotape myself... a bit self-conscious, I guess. Maybe in a few months...

As I suspected, this thread has not chance... :( Come on guys, I'm looking for some interesting ideas to feed my EJ!

Let's keep it to within equipment :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Folks, I know you have it - that one item you tell yourself you'll get "next month", or "next year" or " after I get my tax refund or a Christmas bonus", or "after I improve my technic/legwork/consistency/stamina"... You know what I'm talking about, that one thing that you resist buying because...

Folks, I think I'm a little stuck here. Can't quite make a call on Vega Pro vs Vega Europe, and Rakza 7 vs Rakza 7 soft. Would I be completely off base if I were to get one of each and just try them all on BH and FH? Or would it be too much emphasis on the equipment and derail my development...

Ok, you guys caught me. "Backup" blade was just an excuse. I want a second blade.

Hello gang, I think my game is a pretty decent balance of off vs def. But I am working on transitioning to being a more offensive player, concentrating on being able to consistently attack/loop chops/short chops being used against me by defense-oriented opponents. I'm currently playing with...

That's what I thought, thanks! Alex

currently using Mark V on YSE. Clearly noticing that its becoming a bit too slow for me, especially on the FH side. While I'm definitely going to upgrade the rubbers, I'm also thinking of boosting the Mark V, to learn how the boosted rubber plays. Going through threads on the forum, it seems...
