The point is that the op wanted to make use of his backhand. It is very unlikely that the receive will end up on his strong backhand. The only situation where the ball would be played to your backhand is when you actually don't impart sidespin in your serve which in turn does actually make your...

a hook serve's return drifts to his forehand. How does this help his strong backhand ?

At No level, because at first you will most likely play worse and get less spin and less consistent results. After adjusting which is actually you getting better into position for every stroke and getting more acceleration to use the harder sponge you will gain in gears. You will probably...

That is not no spin. Due to the grippy rubber of fzd's lifting touch you still get back backspin, just not as much with a chop. The lifted return was quite high. That is why wcq decided to power drive it instead of looping it. Fzd's decision to lift it actually made much sense, since wcq...

I watched the first 3 minutes and what i saw what very different from what i was expecting. My memory of playing Nittaku Huricane 3 Turbo Blue unboosted was it being very hard and lower throw. I expected to see at least anything similar to what i experienced, but what i saw was a higher throw...

For me the Acoustic had the best mix of feeling and feedback of the strokes and where I hit the ball, while not being too limited at the power department away from table. This fit well with the above 50° esn scale rubbers that i like to play. I am talking about the full wood version of the...

I sold the two cybershape Woods that i had because it was more fitting for a power drive, block and smash style instead of spinny looping. Sold the two HAL as well. Sticking with the Nittaku Acoustic currently.

Wow, what a throwback. I did not even remember these posts of mine. In retrospect i would make it dependend on your current level of play. Do you play from mid distance or close to the table. Close to the table i would go for the Cybershape Wood and if you are more of a mid distance looper, i...

No, Rakza Z does not have a low throw neither does the Rising Dragons. Rakza Z might be higher though, but close enough to easily switch between rubbers.

Rising Dragon 1 and 2 are like a more Chinese flavor of Rakza z. Still very playable, but while Rakza Z leans more towards tensors, the Rising dragons lean more towards Chinese hybrids. The difference is not that huge though.

there is no reason not to order from tabletennis11 the tariff would be the same according to grokh this here is everything you need with very good quality for a beginner who does not like to glue himself. https://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/pro-racket-baracuda-powerar on the other hand...

as a ultra beginner without a coach (youtube does not replace this at all) you should not use the Loki Arthur China because it is simply to hard for you to properly engage. The result will be no spin in your loops and you probably rather lobbing the ball over. you simply wont have the...

Another cheap alternative which (to me personally) does feel close enough to a hurricane 8-80 with more control is the PF40 from DHS. It's sticky, spinny and controlled, so that you dont pierce holes into the walls of your gym

And i thought I was the one that did not listen much on the physics lessons in school... This is what AI/Grok will tell you: More Spin in Table Tennis: Fast Blade vs. Slower Blade with Constant Racket Speed and Tangential HitWith constant racket speed and a tangential hit (i.e., a stroke where...

i will not go into the topic of tiefenbachers studies, because i have already read through it in the past and found several points that make it not apply to modern table tennis or rather all the factors that exists nowadays. The study was fine for what it is. a study pre 2000 with the...

In what universe would an outer alc blade boost spin compared to a korbel ? i guess we really live in a multiverse with different realities.

i think a good reality check for these "i think i should upgrade to a faster setup"-thoughts are to actually make a video of your matches that clearly show that you do great spin and placement using complex strokes like chiquita and chop blocks with your current setup and that you simply lose...

Probably marginal, because it should only be a different topsheet. Orange is sticky, green is not

Do you think you could create an Nittaku Acoustic or W968 clone ? I was even probably thinking about a hybrid with one side like the Acoustic and one with ALC. Is something like this (which would mean having one side having more layers than the other) even possible with your service ?

Why would you assume so ? Did it say that somewhere ? FZD did play H3BS on forehand and probably Dig09c on BH because he is told to do so by BTY. There is no reason why he would compare it with something he is "forced" to play, but rather something that he himself chose to play with (namely...
