  1. Greetings from a SANWEI Official

    Player Edition has 37 for backhand and 39 for forehand. I am playing with 37 on a single ply hinoki. Lots of control, nice top, not heavy, ... 37 It plays close to an european tensor rubber but not bouncy and half sticky so you can receive short and serve short. For serving long you really...

    Let's see Liu Zihang what level reaches as he grows:
  3. TPB Penhold Short Pips or Inverted

    If you cannot close the angle enough I recommend you: Try to block at your left, not in front of your body. You will see the angle gets lot more closed and the back fingers support much better. If you have to block in front of your body, then be sure to put the elbow really touching the trunk...
  4. Good JPEN rubbers (budget)

    I tried S1 in my jpen 9mm: - 2.0 is too fast. it goes really fast and direct. Most of the balls will go far from the table. - 1.8 is a bit strange as the sponge is soft, you will hit always with the blade. Strange sound. With S1 you have control but is difficult to loop. C1 is similar but much...
  5. Good JPEN rubbers (budget)

    I recommend you Sanwei Target National Player Edition 37 if you want a non-bouncy relative low-throw. If you want it bouncy (similar to T05) then: Fastarc C1. If you want more spin, less bouncy: Fastarc G1 For backhand punch is better the first one as it has lower throw angle. G1 has higher...
  6. Review: Sanwei Target National - Player Edition (Gordanga)

    I answer myself as today I tried Player Edition (Gordanga) 37 for the first time Gear Hyper is good in the beginning, when the clicking sound is heard. I used one for 2.5 months (I play single sided) and the click was not heard anymore and the touch gets less reliable when I do a topspin (but...
  7. stupid question: Can you glue two sponge together.

    Hello, I am curious about this. on the packaging you can see ITTF on both rubbers: limitless and taichi. The rubbers + double sponge are approved or not? Checking on LARC: https://equipment.ittf.com/#/equipment/racket_coverings I see 729 Taichi 27-022...
  8. I'm not looking for a unicorn, just a hinoki donkey that will do the job.

    Hello, no I am not involved in that store. I personally know Valentí, and I bought many things to him and I always appreciate his support and Nittaku quality. But I'm not involved with them. Cheers
  9. I'm not looking for a unicorn, just a hinoki donkey that will do the job.

    If you want 1 ply, I will recommend Miyabi. If you want a more standard blade but with really good hinoki feel, then Septear (7 ply) If you like Nittaku, you have both and 5.22 and 7.22 on 100x100pingpong.com...
  10. I'm not looking for a unicorn, just a hinoki donkey that will do the job.

    Looking at your list, I suppose you want Shakehand, but please specify as hinoki 1 ply is the main trend on jpen. On your list you have some 1 ply and many n plies (regular blades with an hinoki finish on external layer). Are you sure you want 1 ply? what is your style? Note 1 ply it needs a...
  11. Why is this forum so obsessed with the Japanese women's team?

    I like to follow women playing because their strength is more similar to mine. What they do as women is closer to what I can do than a professional man player. I like to follow Japanese players, as well as Shin Yubin, Kim Kum Yong, Bruna Takahashi, Adriana Diaz or Sabine Winter. I follow them...
  12. Review: Sanwei Target National - Player Edition (Gordanga)

    I have gear hyper 37 on my penhold hinoki 1ply 9mm. I play single sided. It goes amazing for block and play with low effect, return services... Also easy to do topspin from far away. The only thing I do not like is when the ball comes with underspin and I am out of position, lift that ball is a...
  13. I am a TPB-only player for now. Out of curiosity, is it easier to do TPB with Cpen or Jpen?

    - In cpen you move your wrist faster, so is better if you are close to the table. - Jpen is IMHO more stable but a bit less fast too switch, so better a bit far of the table. If you like fingers curled is better cpen. If you want extended: jpen. jpen can be played with soft rubbers (also with...
  14. Jpen why take back handle cork off

    As I said in previous comments, it is much better, and many blades come this way. For example new Tibhar Jager: https://tibhar-japan.com/catalog/ (page 13)
  15. Who is currently the Highest-ranked JPEN player?

    IMHO main characteristic of jpen is with the big handle. Use to be more squared (but some are a bit rounded), and use to be grip with the fingers more extended. If people decide to put a rubber on the back, it is also jpen. Note some jpens blades are done for having rubber on the back like the...
  16. Doubts-should i go to jpen rpb or stick to one sided jpen.

    Watch this: It helped me a lot in doing the correct swing on jpen forehand topspin. And yes, it's nice to watch also Tsubasa.
  17. Barcelona TT Action Request

    Now the average level of the young people is much better than 10 years ago. But Spain is (and will continue being) a soccer-centered country.
  18. Barcelona TT Action Request

    Reina Elisenda is neutral (not a club). Best is start there and there decide if he wants to move to other place. https://www.fctt.cat/programes/instal-lacions
  19. Nittaku Hurricane 8-80

    Can you compare with genextion or with g1? if you used them. I am having trouble pushing balls with genextion.
