  1. Calderano and his new equipment

    That is not what I said. The meaning of what I said is that Joola has the capability of providing Calderano with the same equipment that he used when he was sponsored by Xiom because they have the same rubber and blade supplier. It does NOT follow that those suppliers are only capable of...
  2. Calderano and his new equipment

    What a moronic interpretation of what I said. It only means that he can still get pretty much the same equipment whether he is signed with Xiom or Joola.
  3. Calderano and his new equipment

    How do you know that? What equipment did he switch?
  4. Calderano and his new equipment

    Both his rubbers and blade still come out of the same factories as before. So I doubt there is much change.

  6. UPDATED 22.07 !! New Gear Recommendation

    That would be a terrible idea. The Anders Lind blade is way too similar to V-14 Pro. Anders Lind is basically an outer blade in disguise due to the thin mid and top layer. You can also compare the values of ttgearlab.com Name Avg.Wt (g) Ep Ec Ec/Ep Vp Vl Vl/Vp Yinhe V-14 Pro 89.9 1.98...

  9. Helix platinum 55 and summer of trying

  10. Light shoes for faster footwork?

    I'm also using Xero HFS but with a bit thicker Freet Ortholite insole.
  11. Flavien Coton's blade : Donic Relevant, any feedback ?

    It's pretty soft and flexy but explodes in the medium-high gears. I found it difficult to control there, but I didn't try for long. It also has an unusual factory sealing. Which does't really let the glue penetrate into the blade. Rubbers were holding fine though and came off super clean.
  12. Discussion: Is it worth trying to slow the game down again?

    True. Google AI comes to same conclusion with more realistic numbers though: AI Overview Table tennis has less time between ball contacts on fast rallies. Because players stand much closer to each other, the table is smaller, and the ball travels a shorter distance, table tennis requires...
  13. Discussion: Is it worth trying to slow the game down again?

    This should really be provided for all rubbers.
