  2. Best all wood blade?

    I can only highly recommend the OSP Virtuoso+, the build quality is unrivaled (hand made), great control, it's faster than a Korbel, and you can choose among a wide variety of handles (e.g. elcon, if you so wish), and you can also specify the head size. It's just over £100 if my memory serves me...
  3. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    This was my shot - like you say, it's definitely part sidespin and not just pure backspin (partly also because the serve had a lot of sidespin). We named the clip as a backspin forehand because if we'd described it as sidespin forehand people would have expected a top+side spin shot which it...
  4. Sleeping after a late TT session

    I have the same sleep issue. In the UK league matches often finish after 11pm and sometimes after midnight, so it's already pretty late and the last thing you want is to struggle getting to sleep. I have a 45 minute drive home and used to listen to music and would sing along. However, since...

  7. OSP Virtuoso+ vs Vurtuoso AC

    I've never really found this to be a problem with G-1— my technique is pretty biased to brushing rather than hitting through the ball and I find I can play slow spins pretty easily. Did you previously have hard, tacky rubbers? If so, that might be why it feels tricky to brush and not engage the...
  8. OSP Virtuoso+ vs Vurtuoso AC

    I use Extra Thick (one level lower than MAX) on FH and MAX on BH. You'll see that I don't have a very power-oriented game, but when I hit through the ball with good technique it does go! I find the combo of virtuoso+ and a relatively thick G-1 super stable, it has so much control and I can...
  9. OSP Virtuoso+ vs Vurtuoso AC

    >> Here's a video with a player (in black) who plays with the Virtuoso- with Fastarc G-1 both sides with no boost. Small clarification on this video of me — I use a Virtuoso+, not Virtuoso-. Though I think the difference is relatively minor, with both blades using the same construct (I believe...
