  1. ALC only above semi-pro? or also viable for Intermediates

    From what you're describing, I think you can handle it but anyway if you're looking for a cheaper alternative to just give it a try, I also recommend Yinhe Pro 01, it plays almost (90%) like Viscaria and it costs only around 50Euro. Coming from 5-ply, you'll definitely have to adjust to the...

    Fan is OUT! WTF
  3. Using H3 41 on my BH . . . .

    I KNOW, a buddy of mine has the exact same thing on his BH and it's a nightmare to get used to it. The ball literally drops when he blocks my loops, it feels like you're playing against anti. And sometimes he does this really super exaggerated upward stroke and you think the ball is loaded...
  4. Need advice: how to transform qualities from training to match play

    This is something that I'm working on too. In practice my BH was super good but in match I could never be satisfied with it but usually the problem was not the backhand itself. Here are a couple of problems that I personally was having: Lateral positioning (side to side): I noticed that I was...
  5. Big Dipper

    Reply to review by 'Nima Abadi' on item 'Big Dipper'

    Well I mainly picked it up to learn the Chinese stroke and for that it worked perfectly. It was unforgiving, demanding and linear, but fast and spiny when used correctly and still livelier than the classic Hurricane 3, especially once the sponge was broken in. Didn't do me a favor in...
  6. How to play against Hyper-Aggressive player?

    If your opponent serves one type of spin "all day long" then you don't have a problem anymore, it's the variation of the spin that causes problems. If you constantly serve long for example with backspin disguised as top, I might get it wrong once or twice but if you don't vary the spin then I...
  7. How to play against Hyper-Aggressive player?

    My serve receive is the weakest part of my game so here's what I do early on when I struggle against an opponent's serve when I can't read the spin. If it's a mid/long serve then I pretend it's topspin and try to loop it as hard as I can with relatively closed angle. Usually (but not always)...

    Review by 'Nima Abadi' on item 'Big Dipper'

    I used Big Dipper H40 for over a year unboosted on my Yinhe Pro 01 blade and loved every bit of it. Obviously there are pros and cons with playing with each rubber so it all comes down to preference at the end of the day. Do keep in mind that BD H40 plays very differently from its H39 and H38...
  10. Progress is very slow, and only 4 months before the next tournament

    Hey Delerious, My suggestion is figure out how you're losing points. The other week, I had a club player asking me why he's losing matches to players around his own or lower ranking but when he plays with higher ranked players then he does relatively well. So I played a few sets with him and...
  11. Best Chinese Alternatives to D09c Tier List

    Well, it's not a BH rubber. It even says so on the packaging but some people can play with anything on their BH and might even recommend you to try it but usually it doesn't work out. If Big Dipper feels soft on your FH then try the 40degree variant. I played with it for over a year unboosted...
