a lot of assumptions here, but let's go: i have seen beginners play balls that are long (dont bounce twice on your side of the table) with an upward lobbing movement and just make it actually hit the table by trying to use the right amount of "upwards" force when hitting. This is the wrong way...

because it would be too big of a shock to Zezima. V20 Extra i tried as well and it was not a "slowed" down version, but rather gimped in many ways (even spin) compared to the V20 DE. I don't know about the V15 Sticky Soft but similar to the K3 FX these are not for impactful looping since the...

R48 will be easier to spin, yes, but much less controlled in the short game. It is perhaps wise if you can start testing that soon to know if you actually want to go back to the "regular springy tensor" rubbers. if you get discount on victas, then go for victas v20 double extra. That is...

if we want to be picky, you dont play to ITTF rules, but rather the local league association's rules which may mirror the ITTF rules, but are not necessarily the same. If you are not playing internationally that is .

Vega Pro is very different from "Vega Pro H". The question is why you would only want to buy from a local store. If it is about them glueing the rubber onto the blade i could probably understand it but if you are capable glueing yourself then there is nothing wrong ordering online for a better...

i don't know why you are so adamant on buying the rubber on a discount. Butterfly you surely dont get a discount (at least that is the policy in germany) and the other rubbers might be cheaper in the first place than the other options. A Xiom Vega Pro H is 47€, Rakza Z and Z Extra Hard are 51€...

if it is only about looping easier in general i would not go for C55 or g09c, the former i did not test but the pure hardness would not make much of a difference (even though different enough in characteristics from the d09c). The g09c will indeed make you land more shots on the table, because...

I would not go with the Victas TDE (even though i never tried it) simply because according to reviews it will require even more strength to activate it. What you really want is a rubber that is not that picky about the bat angle so that your shot percentage counter looping increases even when...

i did not want to mention it in the other thread, but since you are coming to the realization yourself in here i think the dignics 09c does more harm than good. It's high requirement on precision and techniques make you lose your confidence in games too fast and you resort to being passive and...

Do you actually use a wide variety of serves in a match ? If you choose a vastly different serve each time the return will also vary greatly not making you adjust to a specific return of the opponent, because you get thrown into a new situation every time. Usually you would know how your serve...

You should vary the serve depending on how the opponent is setup to receive it. If we assume you and your partner are right handers and your opponent as well there are two option for him to receive: either standing there with the backhand or standing in the middle to receive with the forehand...

@SleepyMaster Yes i totally agree, there is a performane ceiling with the long pips tactics. That guy has 1450 points currently and i would estimate (by checking how often these long pips players appear in higher leages) that most wont reach more than 1600, because at that level there are very...

Know a guy that i could win a match here and there approximately a year ago. He played Harimoto ALC and double inverted. Now a year later he gained 300 Rating Points (played a lot of tournaments) and is playing an Alround Blade with MXP and Long Pips. Now best i can do is perhaps win a game or...

Tibhar Hybrid MK would probably be the closest with the least amount of adjustment needed, but be aware that it does not last that long. Durability is worse with hybrids most of the time

Lol, that is not Igor in that video

No, it does not. It is more of a hitter/smashers rubber not excelling at spin.

Z2 is not a hybrid

If there is underspin on it you can't smash from below net level, but i guess what you do is a lob or lift.

That was obviously against a way epweaker opponent. Here he is playing against one of the best players of the 3rd division iirc

Iirc there was a thread about AI evaluation of table tennis players in a German forum as well and the result was that none of the AIs actually is able to analyse the videos and just parroted the video descriptions it found for other table tennis videos found in the internet
