I think they're gimmicky... one side cannot be hit in isolation, as the whole blade composition results in whatever feel is given.

It depends on your style and how well it translates to the game mechanics/controllers. For instance, spin in the VR is less effective than in real life. I play a spin based style, so it doesn't feel as useful to me. The angles required to return the balls are much less precise, and even...

It's more of an old school style, you'll have to look back a number of years to see any pro players specializing in that method. http://www.tabletenniscoaching.com/node/39

I contacted the devs and they also said a twiddling button is in the works - swapping forehand/backhand side. I twiddle a lot and always serve BH inverted, so that will be a BIG help in having my game translate. My blades have a fast rebound, so I feel the 100 speed is better/more realistic...

I got accepted into the beta and toyed around with it today. For me I like the bounciness at 100 and the spin at 5 to simulate my d.tecs. I forgot the co-efficient and throw angle... have to login back in and see what it was. I think it also depends on your usual blade speed and how quick the...

No, that would be nice! Are they still letting users into the beta?

Did you try playing with the settings? I set the spin to the lowest, co-efficient lowest and the rebound very high. For me, that plays very similar to my OX d.tecs in real life. Not perfect... but close to that style. To anyone else, I'm sure many will write this off as some gimmicky toy. But...

Wow Every city has its own gym... so it really is like Pokémon! 🤣

Ah yes, good ol' brokenball! :o I like his world famous 'coefficient of the restitution' explanation Across all sports, you find coaches babbling about what happens and what you should do... and rarely does it line up on the molecular level or scientific fact! When I try teaching people...

Another great addition to the Rambo loop saga! Your posts on the different clubs and various players (long pips mainly), along with the insight into how other countries view and structure tt, have been some of my favorite!

Without watching it yet, my money is on the team's actual best... the Chairman!

Get a rubber protector or some kind of plastic sheet like that, stick it to the rubber after cleaning, and then put rubber face down on a table with some heavy books or a 10+ pound weight on it. Leave for several hours

There is when it comes to usability. The long pips/some anti take spin off the ball or reverse it slightly. That gives a greater chance for the 'random' wobble ball. So when it comes to rubbers having high 'disruption' what it means in reality, is that the rubber provides the best kind of ball...

You cant really go by product description. Better to use forum posts. Just search for any alternative to d.tecs and you'll be good to go. Tough to tell in videos either unless the quality is high enough to see the reversal. But pure reversal is not the gold standard. If you want that, get a...

I dont know about all that, as a good player who happens to use lp could also step around, twiddle etc. So it depends on your opponent. To the pips question... now you're just being silly! What rubber is really difficult for opponents but not for me to use!? That's the kind of mindset that...

Well, there ya go! Probably not a great alternative then. I've never used them so it was on his recommendation that I recalled talon. To me d.tecs is the tenergy of ox blocking pips. Others don't really try being different, but seek to replicate what it does. Only downside is the speed and...

Wanting a d.tecs alternative is like asking for a tenergy alternative. Other rubbers do similar stuff, but none can replicate all of the qualities. A cheaper one that pushblocker uses is giant dragon talon https://revspin.net/pips/giant-dragon-dragon-talon.html If you use sponge, you probably...

Depends how much of a shock you want! D.tecs is generally regarded as the most difficult to use lp, but the hardest for opponents to handle. So going from inverted to d.tecs will take a lot of adjustments! If you can mentally tolerate that, I'd say go with d.tecs or if you want slightly less...

Lots of people still play with pips, and still win. If you enjoy it and it fits your style, give it a go! For amateur play I don't think long pips is a death sentence!
