It's a good blade overall. I felt like it matches ZJK's powerful backhand style and flicks. Forehand had lots of spin when I used Boosted Dignics 09c, but it felt weird, something I can't describe tbh. Maybe it was due to adjusting my technique so I can use more wrist and lower body or even...

After using the blade for a few weeks and really going hard at practice with it, I think I prefer my Viscaria Super ALC blade over Zhang Jike's blade. I followed Zhang Jike's method for his blade and it feels softer than my Viscaria SALC. Maybe I would've liked it better if I had gotten it when...

Chinese rubbers help with absorbing the opponent's ball more, so the ball tends to slow down more (which can help you with placement honestly), Hybrid is faster, and Tensor I feel comes off the bat the fastest. I would say tryout the H8-80 first since it's cheaper rather than the Trinity...

With the harder versions of Chinese rubbers (39°-42°), you definitely benefit with the longer strokes. With the 37° version, you can definitely play more short strokes and Chinese rubbers benefit from brushing the ball and benefit more if you do full acceleration since the tacky topsheet helps...

Hybrid or Chinese rubbers might be a good option to explore since the tacky topsheet will help with more spin. Since it seems you like softer rubbers, then these seem like options without needing to boost: Forehand Options: DHS Hurricane 3 Neo 37° DHS Hurricane 8 37° JOOLA Hugo Calderano...

Hmmm, I might have to give it a try since I'm going back to DHS on forehand and possibly backhand (depending on how the JOOLA Hugo Calderano Trinity Charged feels) 🤔

The only thing you need to pay for is the items and the shipping, but I never had to worry about the tarrifs and other stuff since it seems like they deal with those things). I agree a lot of people say it's sketchy because the prices are better than other places, but also people try to buy the...

They have different versions of HL5 for good price on PROTT (from what I've seen, they're much higher than those depending on the model you are looking at). I've bought the Hurricane Long 5x and Hurricane Long 5 Golden from them before, but not too sure if there's cheaper prices out there...

Started off as a 3 sport athlete that involved no racket sports, so table tennis was a brand new sport for me. The main reason I started was because I bet my friend that if he won his tournament match at our college, I'd join. I've touched the bats that come with the tables less than 5 times...

I ordered my DHS Skyline 2 Blue Sponge 40° for FH and JOOLA Trinity Charged for BH so I can use and get used to since I have months until my bigger tournament May 2027, but will do smaller tournaments starting January 2027. When using my Dignics 09c, I actually was using proper technique and am...

Fast rubbers can be fun during training, but you might not have the confidence with your shots because of the control. For example, I really liked Zyre-03 on my FH with the Viscaria Super ALC I was using, but I always felt that I wasn't able to perform the shots I could with my Chinese rubbers...

I haven't really looked on AliExpress so I'm not too sure how prices are compared to other places, but I'm glad you're able to get the best prices for you 🙂

Hmm, well I've never gone against opponents that high on the USATT rating scale, but I would hope they can beat me that easy.

On PROTT.vip, H3N Blue Sponge is about 40 USD, which is huge discount compared to other places on the market here. I'm not sure the conversion to where you are, but it's definitely a website you could checkout. From China to USA, it takes anymore from 2-4 weeks to get here, but I'm not sure how...

Practice matches. Every other serve he does is legal, except the pendulum serve. All he has to do is just move his arm more before he makes contact and it would be legal. I rarely play him since he always has his students when I go, but he's fun to play and it definitely shows the gap between...
