I just took mine off, and it left a residue as well. I removed some of the glue, but it still looks discolored. Any way to safely remove the discoloration?

This was my experience when I actually played at my club with the new setup. Fastarc g1 allowed me to return serves more effectively. I hated that my baracuda was so spin sensitive. Do you guys use edge tape on your 1 ply? If you do, what measurement? 12mm or 10mm?

This is exactly how it felt. I was shocked how it wasn't fast nor did it have that 1 ply hinoki sound. I am also really liking fastarc g1. Somehow, Vmax and fastarc g1 feels more controlled in the short game than my garaydia and baracuda.

I just finished playing around with my robot and serving. Obviously, robot training is waaay different than an actual opponent or multiball partner, so who knows how I'll do next time I go to my club. The blade behaves exactly like everyone said it would, it's such a unique feeling. I started...

Guess which dictator is responsible for more deaths than both world wars? :)

Honestly, I think even the baracuda would be too fast on this blade lol. I haven't played with it yet, but just bouncing a ball on this setup scares me. I expect to overshoot everything for a couple of weeks

Yeah, I was expecting this to be fast, but didn't expect it to be THIS fast. I am blown away by how fast this setup is. How long did it take you to get the technique down?

I just glued the fastarc g1 and holy shit, it's so fast and bouncy. Definitely the fastest blade I've ever owned. I may want to slap on a rubber that's a little slower, a hybrid but am tempted to put a skyline or hurricane to see how it behaves

Thank you! Can't wait to test it out, but it's currently like 96F

She's a beauty. I feel sad that I have to start sanding it

Finally!

I think TT is more like heavyweight boxing. Sure, being fit helps, but it's not a requirement.

This dude is describing me, apparently lol

It's finally happening. After over a month of waiting, Butterfly NA has 4 Cypress V max in stock. They are sending me a 98gram one, I wanted a little lighter but I will take it since their stock is so low. Hopefully, I get it sometime next week!

It's impossible for a 2000 USATT Bay Area player to be at the same level of a 2000 USATT in the Midwest. The competition in the Bay Area is waaaaaay better. It's a drawback of the elo rating system. There is a reason why the Naresh brothers had to move away from the Midwest, and to the Bay...
