It will depend on how much you will boost it. But you'll have nothing "somewhat similar". Your Dynaryz is maybe close the my NUZN48, and on heavy top spins, it's not far from the STN I play with, but on any other sector, it's very different. You have to get it for what it is, a Sanwei Target...

I don't know because I don't have played with the Sanwei Website and the Player edition. Among the 3 others, I can't tell the difference because I did not test the Pro and the Gorganda enough. But none of them will feel like your Dynaryz that is more dynamic because of the heavy tensor effect.

At least 5 : dark blue cover on aliexpress (the one I play with for the last 10 months), player version, gorganda version, Sanwei website version, Pro version.

Which "new" Target National ?

In 4 tests you should already have something quite close to what you need. You test 2 extreme setup, to know what kind of speed/control you want. Then something in the middle. Then, something on the middle of the 3 setup and the slowest or the fastest one. And already you're in a the right spot...

You should get used to your new blade after 2 hours. Then, if it's too fast or too anything, it depends on how hard you train, how far the blade was from your original capabilities and your potential to improvement. Thus, there is no definitive answer. I can play in competition with setup I only...

So what, do you want a game where in 3 years you can have the same skills than after 10 years?

Yes! When I came back to TT 3 years ago, I saw 'low ranked' players do things that I never did even if I was 500 or 600 points above before. I even believed it was pointless to play again seriously. But I saw myself being able to develop a very different game than before, and it all became very...

I have to add that the game is easier also for myself. I stopped 13 years between 2010 and 2023. And now, I can do way more things than I was able to do in 2010 when I was at my peak. The drawbacks are that my BH and my serves are less lethal than before, but in every other sectors, I'm "better".

I have no splinter at all on my King aCB or 301. I sealed them with Gewo varnish and I use Sueke/Suke glue.

Ping pong is pretty accessible to low level. People play ping pong casually everywhere in the world, on stone tables, with stone or steel nets. They enjoy it. In every camping in the world you have tables and people can play. Ping pong is way more accessible than tennis, that requires a lot of...

Vary Spin, Mark V and any other rubber that still existed in 1990. That's ridiculous to let them in the catalogue of the different brands, and they still cost 40€ when any 3€ AliExpress rubber has better performance. Edit : Yasaka Mark V exists since 1969. Almost 60 years in the catalogue. How...

Why would we create that? Ping pong is slow enough for hobbyist. Whatever the change you'll make, bad players will lose to good players. At the end, the most capable players are prevented to express their skills because of the rules asked by bad players. We have the perfect example at tennis...

For people wanting to slow the game, have you played with the 38mm balls, or even the celluloid 40mm? The game is so much easier for amateur player right now. At equal level, people can do way more thing than before. Even in not even regional level, people can do top spin regularly during a...

Slowing down TT like it has been made for tennis will kill it. Speed and creativity won't matter and only power and stamina will prevail. Standardization of the surfaces in tennis killed backhand players and volleyers. You have only one kind of player now, and the same finals on any tournament...
