Think about the sponge hardness and responsiveness of the rubber which you want on the backhand. I am not sure that the alternatives which you mentioned and which are suggested by our members are falling in a narrow spectrum of hardness and trampoline effect. Also, it is important to mention...

I don't have a good flick and even if I try it against a no spin serve my chances are 50-50. Instead, what I try to do is that I take a bucket of balls, and I practice solo by bouncing the ball close to the net bend my torso and try to take my body close to the ball, then I try to do a side spin...

I think you should check out the video on Backhand by Andres Lind. He explains a very important concept of loading energy and releasing it without a break. That is the core concept and it takes time to get it in the muscle memory.

In short - keep wrist relaxed and let the snap happen as a result of quick motion/momentum of your forearm. Do not force the snap of wrist.

I have been using Hexer Powergrip and Powergrip SFX for close to 1 year now. The durability and spin generation is pretty good in my opinion which would be close to 4-5 months with 4-6 hours play every week. Throw angle for Powergrip would be medium to medium high and for SFX version would be...

Ok, my favorite topic. My solution works for me if I trust it, but your mileage may vary and this approach takes lots of observation from your end. This is how I do it - Let's say you and I play a match. Now, you have some services which are tricky, either with spin or with the point of...

May be Shakespeare first subscribed to this course and then wrote 'Much ado About Nothing?'. Not sure.

For a Handicapped game, if I know the player (strengths and weaknesses) then I will first try to match my strength against his weakness to level the score. Let say I started with 0-3, then first 3 points, I will play on my strength. Next, 2 points, I will try to match my strength against my...

If I play against hitters, I don't try to match speed to speed. But instead I try to work with my placement and always make sure that my opponent moves for each stroke.

I would suggest that you try the newer generation rubbers from Nittaku. I believe someone suggested Genexation in the earlier post and I agree to that. The reason is that you should try to stick with the same manufacturer until you determine that you requirements are not being met. I feel that...

I really wish that these new rubbers last longer than C-series. I tried C48 on both FH and BH and liked them for the stability and spin generation capability. But the topsheet deteriorated in a month with 4-6 hours play per week.

I own both ZJK ALC and TB ALC in ST handles since last 9 years. ZJK ALC feels a bit softer whereas TB ALC feels more crisp after 8-9 years of usage. I believe handle and wings make a difference on the feeling here.

Yes, I do have this cleaner and I do not play with hybrid rubbers. My choice of rubbers is based on my physical fitness and level of play which is medium-hard rubbers. But I do notice that this cleaner makes the topsheet a bit grippy. However, one question - which might be slightly off topic...

I believe Donic advertises it as speed difference. However, you won't notice much of it to be honest. Other than that, both have a similar feel to them.

I have done a review of a variant of this blade - Donic Waldner Senso Ultra Carbon. I used it close to a decade and still have 2 blades with me. Please check the review and let me know if you have any questions.

Trade offers are also welcomed. I am looking for following blades preferably in 88-89 grams weight. 1. Viscaria SALC (ST) handle 2. Harimoto SALC (ST) handle 3. Joola Vyzaryz Trinity (ST) handle

Hi, I can ship using FedEx or any other similar service. However, shipping cost would be extra and based on actuals. Secondly, if there is any customs issue like additional taxes or duties then that has to be born by the purchaser.

I have one but I can only ship within US. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/for-sale-xiom-blades-hugo-hal-fl-and-stradivarius-fl.36174/

Yes, I agree. On a fast serve, you need to do the following - 1. Read the first bounce on the server court to check if the serve is long or short. I myself, sometimes ignore this part and pay the price. So, as I write, I am also making mental notes to ingrain this habit for myself. 2. This is a...
