Yes its a good combination. Hurricane helps you lift heavy backspin with ease and provides fine control in short game(especially important in doubles). The blade itself is hard wood which gives sufficient power even if you forehand loop far away from table. Never tried stiga rubber, but as long...
Yes I totally agree that new ideas don't come by all of a sudden and what we enjoy right now(both phones and TT blades) are products of years of hard work and step-by-step progress. What I meant was that at least they could have tried some new materials or new layer-combinations (like new fiber...
Exactly. I hate that butterfly changes the design of the handle and claims it's a new blade. They already lost their creativity and boldness, and can never make sth new. Basically the Apple in table tennis industry.
Hello Kristian. May I know what would be your tactics if you are against a very fast player like Ito who just smashes every ball back like a machine gun?
yes thats exactly how it went. Just the lady from my local store reminded me to remove glue every time I peel it off the blade so I thought it was a common practice.
I have a habit of changing and reusing rubbers from time to time. Lately I tried to remove glue on a donic bluefire m2 but the surface of the sponge fell off together with the glue layer. I dont want to damage the sponge. Is there any better way of removing the glue?
Yes my footwork is poor so I usually get myself into third ball attack position at the bh side. I think this is a bad habbit that made me do the running in case1. But there was also his wrist. He was quite skillful in penhold and could alter the speed and direction of ball at the very last min...
well said. Apart from international games, ITTF may also introduce competitions that allow players to form their own teams and play. That way nationality will not be the main concern.
You dont make a knife blunt if you carelessly cut yourself... Change to Euro rubber may work for you. All CNT use H3 not because its the best, but more of a sense of national pride and commercial reasons.
I serve first If i win the toss, but not a tactic just a hibbit. My serve two serves are always 1. Heavy sidepin to short BH and 2. No spin to short FH. I jsut want to observe opponents prefered serve-reveiving style and footwork when reaching to far side of table. Then I will stick with...
Just had a few sets of games with a friend and he played penhold with long pips on FH. That was a disgusting rubber that dissolved all my attacks ( yea, dissolved not just blocked ) wonder how u guys counterplay long pips
Basically 3 scenarios happened
1. I serve no spin on his short FH , he...
