but you are ranked highly nationally, right ? sorry, what kind of power is missing if you block or counter ? If the rubber or blade is too fast the error margin on blocks will become an issue and counters are usually not done with "power" to win points, since there is quite a low margin for...

Ready position and anticipation are indeed some very important factors when replying to incoming balls and i am on a journey to change my "after-serve" ready position from a forehand dominant approach (where i would pivot for balls to my backhand) to a more neutral one, because i want to...

i do like his side as well, but over time i somehow get the feeling that the saying "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.". It seems like he (i assume it is a he that does the tests) has the ability to measure 4 values only. With these values EP, EC, VP, VL he tries to...

I think anything non chinese will be quite different. If we stick to chinese brands i would recommend 729/Friendship. The real question is if you actually experienced a well boosted h3 blue spongemor if you are just parrotting what others say about it. I would recommend you to try the following...

What are you talking about? I said i had one lying around and if the experiment with his 5ply was not sufficient i could sell it to him

It is an innerforce HL5/W968 from a well known brand so most likely way higher quakity than the chinese clones/knock offs you'd find on aliexpress. I'd be willing to part from it for 60€ but i'd still recommend that you try your allwood 5ply first

Ok, so that would not change much. Got one of these lying around if you are interested https://yasakatabletennis.com/product/atletico-power/

How heavy is your current blade? Are comfortable with blades that weigh around 90g ? I might have something for you

On the ZL Pro i got Rakza Z both sides. I am playing the Nittaku Acoustic with Battle 2 Gold prov currently though. I like it a little harder and sticky. Bayern is quite far, but if you ever come to the region of the Ruhrpott like Essen hit me up and we book a table and do a spinsight session...

If you are really bound on using artifical fibre i'd go for the xiom ZL Pro which is an innerforce version of the xiom HAL/SAL. There might be others like the DHS 301Z or some Donic blades, but i recommend the ZL Pro because i played it. I actually have one lying around here. From what part of...

Wow, what kind of weird recommendations in a situation where it is clear that a way too stiff and fast blade makes OP fail to get good use out of really quite easy to play rubbers like the fastarcs. Instead of recommending something just a little less stiff and fast can easily be a total waste...

If he also said that he spent billions to influence U.S. democracy, then yes, one would be inclined to think so. I don't doubt that this is what the ukrainian investigations resulted in, because it is very plausable that russian snipers would be on the roof top of a hotel besieged/under control...

I guess we are all influenced by some kind of propaganda. Nobody denied the experience people from the ukraine have made. Some people who have put in an effort to not only trust one source but rather get multiple angles might have compared the different narratives and followed whos narrative has...

Leave netanjahu out of this discussion you antisemite

Your "Putin is worse than hitler and wants to kill all ukrainians" story falls apart for every non propagandized thinking being the moment you know he could have just nuked kiev in a heartbeat and then clean up the very little swastika tattooed azov men that would be left to resist. talking...
