Me and my friend who is my only friend who plays seriously. find that watching matches of the pros actually do help. watching a lot of getting the vision in your head what it looks like to have a proper stroke actually does make your stroke better. obviously it cant be your only form of...

Where is the 2013 Zhang Jike series?

i think you should definitely go with the Timo Boll Spark

hmmm. well i know some rubbers tend to shrink after you glue, maybe they are giving a little extra for that. or maybe they just dont care. they get new rubbers constantly, there isnt really a point is making it look nice

you are using T64 on a blade over 200$ without having a good backhand? you must have some money to throw around. i would recommend the butterfly inner shield ALC, for pips, I would say Tibhar grass d.tecs, or grass defense would be fine too. forehand. it depend show offensive you want to be on...

good to know, I have had Genius 2.0 on forehand and Genius sound 2.0 on BH for over a year now (same set of rubbers, but i dont play or practice nearly as much as i would like so) i just got some xiom omega pro on fh and omega europe on bh. so far i still need a little adjusting, but i do think...

I cant even describe how much i love seeing all these. it gives us, (especially Americans such as myself) to see the other side of these players, that i have never seen otherwise. please keep them coming... Forever :p

well they didn't for the Timo Boll series (as far as i know at least) so i doubt it

pretty much what ive seen is its like t05 but better away from the table, but not many people have touched on what is WORSE than t05, like serving? flicks? and more all around type of things. is t05 still the best close-mid range?

well ive only ever played with my soft or medium as far as i know. ive played with M. Maze, timo boll ALC. Donic Epox offensive. and i wanna say there was another one, but oh well. but will i find it hard to switch to a hard blade? like lack of dwell time? lack of control? any difference on...

^^^ yes?

be patient? lol :P

from what ive read a carbon blade like that would be alot more uncontrollable than a t5000 blade

considering they are allowed to use any blade they want, and the majority of the time they are using a blade NOT in the highest price range, i would imagine they are are actually using these blades. and zhang jike doesnt play with the super zlc, at least yet i imagine if anything he will play...

i tend to lose against defensive players. lobbers because smashing real high bounces is awkward alot of time, i am quite short as well. i lose to choppers, but i enjoy playing them. i do better against, steady topspin attackers. but not super aggressive players because my footwork is garbage
