  1. First Time Penholder: Help me out!

    What do you mean with leaving a gap? so that only the tip of my index finger touches the blade and the rest of the index finger is not really in contact with the blade? Curling the fingers help but its still not a relaxed grip. can you also show the backhand side, how and where on the blade...
  2. First Time Penholder: Help me out!

    the problem is, I cant find a grip where my RPB is fully open without putting straing on my index finger
  3. First Time Penholder: Help me out!

    It makes sense. But if I look at the second picture, your angle is quite closed, e.g. for blocking. Yes, it is possible to play like that in shakehand too, but an open angle has many benefits, as you can let the ball sink into the sponge and dont have to extensively brush on every shot. Is that...
  4. First Time Penholder: Help me out!

    but how do you play RPB with that grip? I tried it but I cant get an open angle at all. The way I held it, the angle is very nice and open for blocking and looping If I adjust my index finger, yes it gets more comfortable on FH but RPB I can only use the edge of the racket :D
  5. First Time Penholder: Help me out!

    Another example, I overexaggerate the grip here a little bit to highlight my problem. When I press the thumb for RPB, my index finger naturally goes up. So I have to close it purposefully. And , it sorts of acts like a "counter balance" between the thumb and the middle and ring finger for...
  6. First Time Penholder: Help me out!

    the picture that is named "BH" is already my backhand grip. as you can see, my angle is quite open, so my success rate on backhand topspin was very high and easy to spin and put on the table. but with this grip, the side of my middle bone at index finger is under constant pressure, which cant...
  7. First Time Penholder: Help me out!

    Attaching some pictures how I held the racket. index finger has noteable pressure on fh, but strong (after a while painful) if I press the my thumb on bh to get an open angle thanks for your help!
  8. Is Ovtcharov blade good? Comparisons and reviews

  9. First Time Penholder: Help me out!

    So guys, I played my penhold setup today. tons of fun, yinhe pro 05 blade plays very nicely. I enjoyed penhold alot there is one major problem I have. The side of my index finger hurts alot. its not because of sharp edges, because I sanded the wings well so I used a grip similar to dang qiu...

  11. Xiom An JaeHyun TMXi blades + Jykell & Hyde Z/H review

    I tried Omega 7 China Guang on my friends AJH TMXi Pro. It plays nothing like H3. The only thing that is "Chinese" about it is, that it has a very hard sponge. The way it grips the ball is totally different. I believe that playing with H3N is not difficult in the sense that, you can easily put...
  12. Xiom An JaeHyun TMXi blades + Jykell & Hyde Z/H review

    you have been trying out alot of combinations on your tmxi. The original combo used by AJH himself and most other xiom pro-players has been chinese rubber on forehand (hurricane 3 neo) with omega 7 pro on the backhand. I would highly recommend you that combination, and you might even stick to...

  16. Xiom Vega Hybrid Rubbers

    I tried Vega Pro H sometime last year on my BH. It was painfully slow, I couldn‘t finish points with it. The spin level was good yes. But considering the overall performance I‘d just go h3 37 instead of vega pro H
  17. Performance of light vs heavy pieces of Viscaria

    Hi Community, I want to ask about the current models of Viscaria / FZD ALC. I tried several pieces of viscaria over the last months (club mates rackets), e.g. 82g, 87g.These Viscaria's feel a bit dull and metallic in terms of feedback. I have read a few times that heavier pieces of Viscaria /...
