  1. The Myth of the Perfect Forehand

    also to add, its folly to watch professionals and say "they focus on winning points so I should too" they have coaches for hours each week to improve their technique too they mean quirky stuff like: sometimes serving long or playing a down the line shot here and there as they already have...
  2. The Myth of the Perfect Forehand

    The "perfect" technique is one that works in context of your whole game. somone with pips BH might be able to have a more quirky forehand at a higher level because they don't have the same system. Focusing on point absolutely makes you worse in the long run if you dont have coaching and play at...
  3. WTT Contender Muscat-2026 (19- 24 January 2026)

    Xiang Peng needs an X factor, he is super consistant and plays "the right shots" but he seems to regularly struggle against anyone with decent defence. I note he frequently struggles against people who block his inside out forehands or who keep him pinned on the BH he seems to lack the X factor...
  4. Xiom new collection (2026)

    Does this mean Xiom Striker will be the only available hinoki zlc blade that is from a mainstream manufacturer
  5. My $1000+ setup, my opinions on Golden Viscaria + Zyre 03 2.7mm

    lol we can all beat people worse than us at anything with anything. If your suggestion is that don't use equipment unless you can beat players with significantly better skill level than you no one would be allowed to play. Unless the rubber is hurting their development then it shouldn't...
  6. My $1000+ setup, my opinions on Golden Viscaria + Zyre 03 2.7mm

    I use Z03 on the w968, its awesome for me. I also like D05. Zyre is much more like a brush looping H3 than a hit looping 05. Great rubber has massively improved my leauge results compared to controlled BH rubbers.
  7. WTT Star Contender Doha 2026 Jan 13-18

    What rumour? Sorry this just loops back to a comment about fanzhendong's legs
  8. Butterfly Zyre 03

    It's interesting I found the opposite, I couldn't stand D09c and found Z03 to be a fairly easy conversion but used Rakza Z EH and H3 provinical as my main bat since about 2021. It's probably my funky azz amateur techniques.
  9. Butterfly Zyre 03

    As a user of H3 mostly forehanrd or Rakza Z Hard and Control rubber backhands (Dynarz CMD/Rakza Z) it plays very fine to swap from H3 and Rakza but very different to T05 or CMD. Brush looping and spinny flicks are no issue at all with an inner carbon blade (W968) but harder drives are difficult...
  10. Pushing the ball without bounce. So stupid rules it is.

    Tbh Igor this is below even your nonsence it is clear in the rules anders is wrong here no need for revision.
  11. From what level on does the right "modern" style matter?

    Depends on age and levels. The crux of this issue is that it is probably the most demanding style in terms of practise as the fast drive looping needs much more precision than brush looping to land on the table. Also two winged looping requires more physical ability than predominantly one sided...
  12. Most consistent BH rubber for opening up the game

    Depends on level if you are playing where any topspin opener is a winning tactic even is slow or a bit high then a grippy non sensitive rubber is best. Something like Joola Rhyzm CMD or Rozena But at some point these slower openers become an easy point for the opponents even when played deep...
  13. Pro Z RSM???

    In 2004 I think he used bryce boosted and BTY KTS In 2013 interview for TT Blade - RSM G MAX Rubber - T05
  14. FS: Butterfly small collection

    I am unsure of how successful this approach will be but it's honestly none of my business but it is against the rules to comment on prices on FS threads.
  15. Offtopic - Car you'd buy for your family and team

    VW ID 7 if i could afford it!
  16. Lighter weight DHS Hurricane 3 alternative ?

    Maybe Rakza Z extra hard, the issue is that hard sponge is heavy and so is the H3 hard topsheet, there is not a perfect alternative while sacrificing the weight at all.
  17. Should I buy specific equipment or experiment?

    if you can reliably loop backspin pushes forehand and backhand then just get a viscaria/fzdalc with d05 both sides and let rip if you want to gt better. If you just wanna play around with equipment then do that too whatever you prefer is best.
  18. What’s Better: Playing Hard or Playing Smart?

    Both, whatever wins points is the one. Yeah against players who practise looping every day then looping at them isnt as good as moving them around but against old savvy men who tie you up with pushes but slow reactions its better to play hard. Whatever wins points is best but past a certain...
  19. Opinion on Golden Viscaria

    Tbh this is a reach/projection, sure i dont loose much ability playing with MXP and a Waldner WC89 but I can easily afford £600 on a hobby so why not. Not understanding guitar maintenance is different to saying I like using the same blade as my idol. As long as people dont think that the...
  20. Opinion on Golden Viscaria

    Probably awesome, definately not worth the price tag. Same as my W968, only worth it as a useable collectors item, performance between W968 and HL5/Innerforce ALC is not much honestly but its more about how cool it is to have a rare blade than performance (like the black tag nonsence)
