Many ESN rubbers have seen a price increase recently. All new Evolution rubbers MX-D, EL-D, FX-D now have a MSRP of 52,90€ before discounts. Rakza X, Rakza Z, V>15 also now over 50€, Rasanter R45,...
That's not a crazy idea... Boosting causes similar changes as good old speed glue did. A bit more speed but more spin. More spin = more control = more balls on the table. Tiefenbacher and Durey found...
If you never played with H3 or the like than you could start with the Hurricane 8-80 instead and go on from there if you like it. No need for boosting. Depending on what rubbers you played before...
Neither trained by a Chinese coach nor started playing in China but switched to (heavily speed glued) hard, tacky rubbers on my FH in the mid 1980s ;) Restarted TT in 2018 with ESN junk on the FH and...
Just try out what works best to block these loops. Loose grip, tight grip, passive, active (mini loop/brush), try punching (Truls Moregardh style) through the ball to add pace, vary the distance at...
Great teams, great matches, great videos! This is how TT should be!
Thank you guys!

I just wanted to post something like "Not too many fs unless you want to schlafen on a schlaffen tablet" ;)

Don't know if they can get the 52.5 and 55 versions but they have red 48 and black 50 in stock.

That's 91€ (136 SGD) for the Stiga Royal 5 Star premade bat... Bad value for the money at least over here...

Definitely a good blade. I've used it when starting with TT again three years ago. It's a quite linear blade so might not be the best match for hard, tacky rubbers and it has a relatively thin and...
Stiga OC is thinner (5.3 - 5.5 mm vs 6 mm), slower, lighter, more flexible, vibrates a lot and is maybe All+/Off- depending on weight. The YEO is usually (never heard of anything below 85g) solid OFF...

I never played with a Rakza X and the Etika 47 is currently only on my list of rubbers to try if I do not continue to use the X5-S on my backhand.
Good to know. The firmer, less elastic topsheet might explain that I have to use more wrist action/acceleration to produce spin with the X5-S than with some other rubbers. With the harder sponge of...
