  2. Sanwei Fextra 5, new blade?

    Does anyone know if Fextra 7 and Fextra 5 have the same handle design? Thickness, length etc. ?
  3. Upgrading from Sanwei V5 pro to DHS 301z or Viscaria - Help me to choose !!!

    V5 pro is a lot harder and faster than 301z. and it doesn't produce this loud noise/sound as the v5 pro does. V5 pro has thicker handle, 301z is very thin so beware of that. it's not a hard blade, rather soft. Viscaria is indeed good for chinese rubbers. It's good for a certain type of play...
  4. Does a slower blade with a Viscaria-like feeling exist?

    have you tried it yourself? I wonder if it is softer/slower/ has less or more vibrations comapred to original viscaria
  5. Aliexpress Anniversary Sale 2024

    bloom power is definitely harder, weighs more and has lower throw than regular B2
  6. My Personal Guide to Rubbers on Aliexpress

    AK47 will be the lightest. Red version weights 43-45g cut to 157x150. Blue sponge even less I think
  7. Suggetion / experience about Anti

    balls from anti spin come a lot higher and most of the time they have no spin instead of reversing it so it’s a bit easier if opponent know this but it’s harder for those who don’t know what’s the difference between anti and long pips
  8. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Lookin for constructive criticism and feedback on my game I’m the one wearing glasses in a black shirt the game starts from 5:32 https://www.youtube.com/live/NS0jchCNg5c?si=EJtlVdtS0uBBDFg-
  9. What are the must try composite blades from common Chinese brands such as DHS, Yinhe, SANWEI and Sword?

    Ive tried it for a month as well. Mine was 83g, the handle is ST and super thick but still head heavy, even with such a light rubber as Palio AK47. I would say my blade had a lot of vibrations, but they are not like on butterfly blades, not informative, but rather annoying. And yes, the blade is...
  10. Timo boll ALC vs ZLC

    Have been looking all over for head to head comparison and couldn't find one before I would pull the trigger on either TB ZLC or ALC. So here is a little review of my experience with the two blades. TB ALC: feels somewhat softer, has less vibrations, is a faster blade. TB ZLC: feels a little...
  11. Palio AK47 appreciation topic

    can't wait to read your review (:
  12. How to get better at reading serves and returning them?

    If you struggle with side spin it's usually a pendulum serve. Doesn't matter if it's reverse pendulum or regular pendulum, it's always going to have side spin on it. Now you have to crouch down, eyes a little bit above the net level, and look at the contact point. If the racket goes down = it...
  13. Palio AK47 appreciation topic

    True, it's just that I don't notice that difference. Since I know a lot of people said it is not that grippy, and less reactive to incoming spin, more shots end up landing on my opponents side due to this so it's all good
  14. Palio AK47 appreciation topic

    I have bought mine in March and it did detoriate a little bit on the sides but nothing crazy, the topsheet remains very grippy still. I never experienced any ball slippage though. Probably because I live in a very dry climate
  15. Palio AK47 appreciation topic

    Anyone besides me really likes palio ak47 rubbers? I prefer red for FH (as it has lower and longer throw) and yellow for backhand as it has less speed, higher and shorter throw. When I switched to another racket that had new sheet of Tibhar MX-S on it, I could barely see any difference between...
  16. Rubbers from AliExpress with NOT MAX thickness

    nope, it says 2.2mm in the description, but someone measured it and it was 2.0mm and it said 2.2mm max I don't know if that's still the case, I tried big dippers before, to me they did feel like it was 2.0mm. Very easy to engage the sponge all the way to the blade. Now things can be different...
  17. Latest T05fx alternative?

    xiom vega europe, but it has lower and longer throw
  18. Help choosing blade!

    it is not. V14 pro is more like timo boll alc, but even then there is a lot of differences between the two. V14 pro is more flexible, speed is around the same, a little bit less controllable and handle is thicker, also less vibrations. I like timo boll ALC better but it is not worth 4x the price
  19. Rubbers from AliExpress with NOT MAX thickness

    big dipper even though it says max, the maximum thickness for it is 2.0mm as far as I remember. But I would never go below 2.0mm because you lose spin and speed potential, which is crucial in fast modern table tennis.
