that's a very good point by @Matteones ! if you set yourself up and get acustomed to a setup with H3 (boosted) and a stiffer blade, will you be able to activate it with gyms having a temperature lower than 15 degrees celsius ? Your rubber will feel like a brick and the ball might just fall of...

given that you play a pretty soft forehand rubber on an ALL blade does not indicate you being ready for a faster and stiffer blade with a harder rubber. The only thing that will happen is that you will create less spin and less spin means less margin for error, more balls overshooting the table...

I think you might have run into the same mix up like me. A few years back i wanted to buy the dragon grip, searched for it (probably on tabletennis11) did not read properly and ordered the 52.5 hardness version. Put it on my blade, played with it and wondered where those supposed hybrid...

I doubt that a few months with the G-1 setup would magically teach you properly how to loop. That is why I would advise not to go back to hurricane that early. You probably don't even have good enough footwork and technique to consistently loop in matches, so what is the point in switching to...

Less spin on looping between 5ply wood acoustic to w968 inner with same rubbers, but that is to be expected

chintac sounds interesting, but since ESN somehow can only manage to produce sticky rubbers for Rakza Z i dont have high hopes that chintac is actually sticky.

Totally the same for me. I focus on being prepared to backhand loop after serve and getting into the right stance and when the ball comes to my forehand i suddenly am off balance and F it up even though it would have been the easiest ball to put away. i guess its just how our brains are working...

i watched your video before reading your annotations and tbh the first 5 minutes ( i did not watch more) i asked myself if my memory was failing me or if you always had such a "terrible" backhand loop if i can even call it like that. Whatever you do when you dont push with your backhand and try...

whats the platform that is available on ? if it is available on android i would definitely use it for training

Yes you did. 10 weeks is plenty of enough time especially if you also play matches in that time range. You have experienced what the new blade with your old accustomed rubbers looks like and if you did not adjust to the additional speed on your fh by now, you probably wont at all with that...

You have to take into account that the pips out player has one distinct advantage on an amateur to intermediate level and that is that he is basically very used to playing against inverted rubbers all the time. It's not like these are the rocket scientists knowing long pips reversal in and out...

players dont play bundesliga, but club teams do. You need to join a club that plays in one of these leagues and simply be good enough for them to put them into the respective teams.

had a game against a long pips backhand, short pips forehand guy who is rated around 130 points higher than me. the instances where i used that "long backspin serve to the long pips" were quite successful, enabling me to attack pretty much 80% of his returns. Reviewing the footage it seemed...

had two revealations in todays trainings. First was me playing against somebody who played much in the youth and now with 50 returns to the sport (she is actually already playing for 4 or 5 month again) and one can see how many things are intuitive to her. He can hold herself in most rallys if...

reviewing 3 of the matches with the H8-80 '39 on the backhand (which i thought from memory to be the matches where i would fail more looping with the backhand) i saw that i actually was playing better with the '39 version of H8-80 than with the '37 version. So the thought of changing backhand...

coming back from a "training" session with a few training matches where i only played two matches with the PowerType (on the forehand) it boils down to it being a very safe spin rubber. If i ever wanted to have a more controlled rubber that i can create good spin with and land a lot of shots...

i only tried it on backhand in a few training matches and can't say too much yet.

after another session with the robot and the three rubbers RZEH, H8-80 '39, Nittaku H8-80 PowerType the results were somewhat to be expected. In serves the H8-80 '39 and H8-80 Power Type fared nearly identical, but a hint lower in spin than my Rakza Z EH. When performing a power loop against a...

I think i will definitely try this on forehand first, even though the soft sponge would not be something that i like there. What i did notice at the robot was that there was significantly less speed/acceleration needed to loop the underspin ball, so a lazy swing was enough. I don't think that i...

the question here is if the manufacturer description says that they specify overall rubber hardness or only sponge hardness.
