5 out of 5 rating for Rigan I like the quality of the rubber and felt it was very controllable. It is listed by Yasaka as having built in effect (their way of saying tensioned or tensor rubber), and I think it is a lot like a "tensioned Mark V" and for that reason a good step up from Mark V for...

I finally bought some and so will give a brief review here. I like the quality of the rubber and felt it was very controllable. It is listed by Yasaka as having built in effect (their way of saying tensioned or tensor rubber), and I think it is a lot like a tensioned Mark V and for that reason...

Amazing! Our city just put a table in its park. I gotta get down there and play sometime soon.

I used to play a slow loop, very much brush contact and so when I recently got back into Table Tennis and knocked off the rust playing with Mark V I decided to try H3-50 and just didn't care for it. I even tried playing with Yasaka Rising and Shining Dragon as a transition (which you might want...

There should be a proscribed manner in which to do a draw and thus no reason to ever change it. I would immediately think the fix was in if my opponent was changed on me. It is not normal in any other legitimate tournament style sport in the world.

Your sig says you are using Fastarc. I use Rakza x and RakzaX soft. Not as sensitive to spin as 7 in my mind and I feel a little bit better to control when looping. But it is pretty subjective.

I agree in spirit with what Xylit says, but I also know even high level players are sometimes EJ's and most all of us like to talk about the sport and equipment as a form of entertainment. A lot like those who hang around fly fishing shops - not to tie flies but to bullsh*t the time away. So...

The InfoSec group I belong to held our monthly meeting at a bar locally and when looking at their website for a menu (service was slow) one of our members noticed we were all logged in as Admin to their website. On top of that they were using a way out of date version of WordPress and PHP. We...

Mattias Karlsson uses Yasaka Rakza PO. He used to use Xtend PO also from Yasaka. But then he is on team Yasaka, so you can only take so much away from what rubbers are the pros using.

First make up your mind if you are going to use averages or best speeds since you mixed the two it confuses your point. The average professional tennis serve is around 110 mph not 150 mph (those are out of the ordinary), likewise fastballs are down around 90 mph with 100+ being extremely rare...

Point out that the slams of world class players are in excess of 90 miles an hour, and that even those are returned from a mere 15 feet away. Compare that to the leisurely pace of a pitch in baseball, or cricket, or tennis serve, or hockey slapshot.
