Archosaurus's latest activity
-
Post season testing is fully underway! Tonight we have a thin 7ply in Sanwei Fextra, clad in Fastarc G1 and Mercury 2 medium. The blade...

Archosaurus replied to the thread Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat.The Stratus Power Wood is a little bit too controlled for me after getting back into the game for a few weeks now, so I was thinking to...
-
Archosaurus replied to the thread After changing the setup.Without seeing you hit, we can't really tell. You could be doing anything. If you want me to guess, not enough bat speed, not enough...
-
Archosaurus replied to the thread My 6-Month Review of SANWEI Target Europe Soft: How Control Changed My Mind.Huh, taking another look at it, it's probably the Japanese sponge one. Oh well; can always try both! Traditionally I've used sticky...
-
Archosaurus replied to the thread How often do you change rubbers?.For what it's worth, my backhand flick was not landing at all and I was resorting to flat hits. Later I rubbed the ball on the sheet and...
-
Archosaurus replied to the thread Psychology in moments of frustration in Table Tennis.A lot of people at lower amateur level give up games or matches because they stop what is working and "change it up" for no reason...
-
Archosaurus replied to the thread How often do you change rubbers?.The Allround Evo is probably not the fastest with the modern ball when using conventional rubbers. It wasn't exactly fast with the cell...
-
Archosaurus replied to the thread Dignics 05 backhand alternative.As far as I can tell, thinner sponge is less spin sensitive on block and push and tends to not throw the ball as far, so if the OP...
-
Archosaurus replied to the thread How often do you change rubbers?.You have those rubbers in your signature, so I assumed you had used it. Either way, I got years out of mine. It was still totally...
-
Archosaurus replied to the thread My 6-Month Review of SANWEI Target Europe Soft: How Control Changed My Mind.Pretty lame ChatGPT summary, but either way, I've also opted to go for this rubber for my backhand for my next setup as I've found one...
-
Archosaurus replied to the thread Thinner rubber inherently less spinny than thicker rubbers?.The slopes seem pretty different too, although to me it largely seems like lower spin and spin reversal potential = lower slope, and the...
-
Archosaurus replied to the thread Thinner rubber inherently less spinny than thicker rubbers?.I'm talking in absolute terms for any sheet, but yes, adhesion is just an extremely rapid increase in the CF at low loads, which will...
-
Archosaurus replied to the thread Thinner rubber inherently less spinny than thicker rubbers?.Sponge thickness has a huge effect on the throw angle and spin reversal on blocks according to some old testing. I'm not sure exactly...
-
Archosaurus replied to the thread Thinner rubber inherently less spinny than thicker rubbers?.I believe that lighter strokes utilize more hysteretic friction from the topsheet and are more dependent on pure coefficient of friction...
-
Archosaurus replied to the thread Thinner rubber inherently less spinny than thicker rubbers?.In theory, a stiffer blade with a stiffer sponge and higher friction topsheet should be able to produce the most spin at some kind of...
