why not? how good these players usually are?

I get your point and tend to agree. But with that said, how do you know when it's time to upgrade because you improved? I'm with G-1 2MM on my FH. It's working great. I'm improving. And enjoying it. But maybe I should switch to G-1 MAX now? to get more spin and speed? Hard to tell when is the...

great videos Jackcerry, fun to watch this funky style game

I have the sg version. It's very similar to g revision. Both are much better then regular if you don't have small hands.

I feel my nittaku acoustic gives good feedback when hitting..can't compare it to stigma blades, but the feel is stronger then some butterfly alc blades I tried for a little while

Didn't know its possible to change the handle...have you ever done it? can you describe how it's done?

Appreciate the info. I guess C1 is worth the try considering it's not expensive and durable. Sounds like a rubber I could work with to improve BH technique, maybe a better fit for me then rakza7 or G1 on BH. Don't expect it to solve my issue, just hoping it would feel more natural and help me...

Would you say C1 has more catapult then G1? How would you describe the difference between G1 and C1? I'm not sure why people prefer C1 on backhand over G1? I didn't feel G1 is hard to control..so why prefer the slower C1? Assuming C1 is slower

I'm totally on board with you're thinking - I agree that technique > everything. I'm not trying to cover or hide my BH topspin weakness - I want to ipmrove it. The question IMO is only - which rubber will be most helpful for me to work with while I keep training and improving it : 1) A rubber...

I tend to agree with everything you said, fundamentally. BUT - I don't think it's a black or white issue. True - the key thing is for me to improve my topspin generating ability on BH. BUT, at the same time - a higher throwing rubber might help at the moment, and might be more suitable for me...

I used to play other sports at a higher level and the tips that I always liked are : 1) try to relax, even for just 5 minutes - before starting the practice. Just focus on breathing, music - disconnect from the hustle of the work day. 2) Eat a banana and drink enough, especially if you missed...

I'm definitely hitting too flat - which sometimes results in awesome winners but it's not a safe enough shot to hit consistently. The core issue is 100% my technique - I don't produce enough strong top spin when hitting hard with my BH. Because Rakza doesn't have a high throw It doesn't help...

thx guys. When I wrote that I hit the net too often, I meant that it usually happens when I go for very aggressive shots. With G-1, the ball clears above the net much easier. But with G-1, I have to bring all the power (Less catapult then Rakza7).

unfortunately, my Backhand technique isn't nearly as good as my forehand. I'm currently playing with Rakza 7 on BH and I find that I hit the net too often, the throw of the rubber feels low (for me with my current technique). On forehand I play with G-1, which has a higher throw, but It's not...

Thx for the update, I'm glad you like your new Falk W7 blade. Sounds like it's the same upgrade i'm thinking about, and I get that you feel it fulfilled your desire for a bit more power. Would you say there is any downside at all from switching from acoustic to Falk W7? Is anything feels less...

Thanks for all the Great info Marc! Are you currently playing with the Falk W7? Do you feel it's the upgrade you wanted over the Acoustic? I guess the 7 ply wood is the real bridge from an offensive 5 ply to a inner carbon blade..

Cool I'd love to hear which blade you like more and how much of a difference you feel between them

thanks for the explanation. I myself have the Acoustic SG which stands for Standard grip, and i find the handle to be just fine as a 6'1 guy. I know the regular Acoustic has a much smaller handle. Just to be clear, you're playing with the regular "Innerforce Layer ALC" and not the "harimoto...

Wow very surprised by your post, I didn't think an Acoustic can be HARDER to play with then a carbon blade. I myself find the Acoustic to be very easy to control, but sometimes i do feel it lacks just a little more more speed/power. When googling "Innerforce ALC" i get all kinds of different...

So Is there someone who used to play with all-wood and then moved to a somewhat similar feeling Carbon blade and can explain the difference?
