According to their ratings this rubber compares like this to the older ones Hammond z2 : spin 13.0 speed 16.0 G-1: spin 12.5 speed 15.0 Genextion: spin 13.5 speed 16.5

Damn, i thought i could settle on my equipment, but unfortunately Nittakus latest rubber is now available on tabletennis11.com https://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/nittaku-genextion I guess it's time to setup my second blade with it.

I think you can. Did you see the glasses of the opponent fly away? An enemy not able to see can't continue and will forfeit

Tossing the ball too low will not allow much spin to be generated, so the only advantage they got from it is higher consistency, since this makes hitting the ball way easier. There is pretty much only one way to answer this serve with a special serve by your own:

I have switched to K3 on the forehand in the meanwhile, but still took your advice to hit through the incoming topspin ball. This leads to an issue though: the old technique with a very closed bat would lead me to "outspinning" the opponent so that his shot or block would go wide. Now with the...

Rakza Z is notnsimilar to Rozena in the slightest, but it is way more grippy, even tacky and will last longer.

Don't do big swinging ever. If it is long and slow it is easy to hit the ball with a short stroke as well. If it is long and fast you will not have enough time to do a big backswing neither. So what is left ? Half-Long balls that bounce on the middle of your table side can be looped or flipped...

Just no. Hybrid M can be faster than Vega Pro H and Hybrid H is definitely faster. What is good with the Hybrid H is, that it is very controlled in the short game and you don't accidently activate the catapult of the sponge if you don't want to. Hybrid M has less spin then the vega Pro h

how long does he actually play table tennis for ?

The name is wrong. It is called "Xiom Vega Pro H" and even though it is saying "china hybrid" on the packaging it is NOT really remotely playing like a tacky chinese rubber with a tensor sponge. It is a more controlled/slow Vega Pro with slight tackiness. That is all about it. It is worlds apart...

I don't know, but perhaps you should ask professional high jumpers how efficient it is. They only jump off of one leg, probably because they don't want to jump too high, right ;)

You can loop the topspin or blocked balls the same way you loop backspin balls if you let them fall enough,but it is not the most efficient. Can you make a video of you exercising against backspin, then block and then against topspin? 10 attempts should be enough to compare.

@Zezima I really would not change rubbers yet and try to fix the problem by adjusting the power you use while looping. If you really need to change rubbers and want something spinny but less fast (which would reduce the length of your loops) you could try the new Xiom Vega Pro H which is really...

That sounds like awesome progress. Now you just need to make this your default topspin stroke without needing to actively think about it. Give it a few month and it will be ingrained enough.

This is simply wrong. The Vega Pro H is very controlled like the regular Vega Pro just with a slightly sticky modern topsheet. This is a rubber that will not turn a lot of heads, because it is so close the the classic Vega Pro.
