I feel you and can see many similarities with your story. I don't know any answers either - but am intrested in seeing the replies.
Ive also downgraded my equipment significantly. I think fundamentally I personally don't read play quick enough, and unfortunately with the speed of the game now...
Let us know what you think. Ive been using it a little while on FH and even though it was a bit of a slow start im enjoying it. Wondering whether to try N48 on Fh and then N45 on BH next.
Ive bought a second N45 too to put on an innerforce style blade with 05fx on bh to compare.
Has anyone used this one. - without the the press?
I just found this on AliExpress: £23.20 | Malathorne Table Tennis Rubber Cutter Frame Knife Set for Cutting Rubber Sheet, Rolling Stick and Gloves Included https://a.aliexpress.com/_EGhTQ6o
100% echo @Tyce post. My second blade has arrived from @Catenaccio and its immaculate, really well packaged and to be honest for the cost saving to buy in the UK the wait for it to arrive in the UK really isn't that long.
Have bough a few items now and all have been excellent. Really recommend...
Wow - so strange. I guess easy to reconfigure for later rounds when less tables needed. Bit it looks totally amateur. I guess theres hardly any seating for the later rounds as theres no banking.
So weird.
