There are strong table tennis connections between Skåne - Sweden south and Denmark - no surprise if they were looking for a new coach. Not surprising at all if Sjöberg decided to step down.

Lol I assumed I1 because Luma is not at this moment available in Sweden :)

Yea - I think they advertised here in Sweden that i1 was made in Sweden. I think some people think that wood craft is not so great in Sweden because handles often are a bit rougher. Reason for the rougher handles is practical - too smooth they slip out of the hand. As to woodcraft this has...

The picture I saw had Made in Sweden tag at the bottom of the handle. As why Swedish blades have non-smooth handle it is to avoid having the racket slipping out of the hand.

I like it. I'd do would like a blade with a bit more "dwell". It could be that it will change name like the myth series did.

No made in Sweden on the sticker.

För me the handle is. very important. I cannot play with the concave type of Atletico series. Ergo, Falck with selection of both straight and concave is more versatile for me.

Being able to express opinions is the difference between democracy and dictatorship. Ukrainian elections have allowed people from the outside to control validity. conclusions have been democratic elections. We should also respect the FACT that it is Ukrainian civilians that are being killed...

One could add grip: Helix > Mantra/Platinum - difficult to compare Mantra and Platinum very different type of rubbers IMHO. I do not think Helix is slower than DNA Platinum. It could be that when a lot of spin is induced more momentum goes into the spin. However, I feel that the Helix gives...

Actually for me the Donic Waldner Offensive have the longest available handle. The anatomic for me to be perfect is to sand down the bottom part a bit that stands out like for concave. You are right that this part for some blades obstruct large/XL hands. The straight has not that limitation but...

Yasaka straight handles fits large hands - anyhow those I have tried (Goiabao, Yasaka Myth Extra Offensive both Falck) also Yasaka anatomic. If you have very broad hands it is advantageous to take down the wings by sanding. Another blade suitable for large hands is Donic Waldner Limited - both...

Hi - top layer is definitely not spruce. Spruce like pine have so-called two year rings and if cut along the grain of the blade as the top here is should be clearly observed. Also at the edge in this case bottom of the handle but also part of the side of the blade.

If you like your current setup but want something faster then a natural step would be the Waldner Ultra Senso Carbon is a natural next step. It is faster but not so much to make it an impossible step.It is also controlled and you can choose a handle that is very close to what you are used to if...

There is another factor not discussed here. This event is played in Europe and for this time there is an advantage to the Europeans in terms of time shift, home crowd etc. I think it is fair to have a change of scenery. JO Waldner said it was extremely if not impossible to win in China due to...

I have a few points: The information this thread is based upon is firstly no information it was questions to the coach. That there are negotiations between top athletes and the Swedish table Tennis Federation - such things takes place in most individual sports in Sweden. In fact this is a free...
