Revolution 3 rejuvenator works great to restore tack.

Hi, I am relatively new to this forum. I tried to add new products (and reviews thereof) to the TTD database using the submission form but without success. I tried contacting the site admins but haven't had any response. Is TTD no longer adding new products to the equipment database? Thanks...

One of two things are going to happen: 1) My club will pay for my subscription to be able to enter league results (I will not be coerced into buying a USATT membership or rating subscription), or 2) We will move to RC which is a scientifically more sound rating system anyway.

Short pips are low-throw and low-spin sensitivity rubbers. If you want to transition back to smooth rubbers, I would suggest to try out the Stiga Calibra LT (i.e., the hardest in their range), which also is low throw and spin insensitive. It has less grip than top-end modern smooth rubbers, but...

FH: 1) Hurricane 3, 40-degree, Nat'l version, blue sponge; 2) Nittaku Hurricane Pro 3 Turbo Blue, 3) Hurricane 3, 40-degree, provincial, orange sponge. BH: 1) Spinlord Waran 2, 2) Nittaku Morristo SP AX, 3) Spinlord Waran

Given that it is unlikely that any the speed during driving/smashing comes from a sponge catapult effect, I wouldn't be surprised if driving/smashing actually is a little faster with the thinner sponge. I don't know it for sure though.

4 out of 5 rating for Ovtcharov Senso V1 I like the Donic Ovtcharov Senso V1. It offers awesome robustness without being too stiff, which otherwise could have impeded spin generation on slow loops and serves. It allows for a balanced game play with equal potential for looping, flat hitting...

4 out of 5 rating for Stratus Powerwood The Tibhar Stratus Powerwood is a well-rounded, modern take on the classic 5-ply blade with ayous/limba veneer constructions. It is a little thicker, providing more speed and stiffness than traditional iterations of such blades, rendering it a better fit...

4 out of 5 rating for Violin I am intrigued by the Nittaku Violin, especially because I played better in matches with this set-up than usually. The control and feeling on most FH shots (with the exception of smashes and power loops) is very appealing. Soft to medium-hard European/Japanese...

4 out of 5 rating for Ebenholz NCT V II The Ebenholz NCT VII is probably best suited for all-out attackers who use power loops, flat hits, and blocks as their primary game strategy; who have excellent footwork and technique; and who enjoy heavy blades. I think the Ebenholz NCT VII will pair...

5 out of 5 rating for Rosewood NCT V II The Stiga Rosewood NCT VII is an incredible do-it-all blade, and it is, therefore, suitable across a wide range of playstyles (two-winged loopers, aggressive short pips players, blockers, flat hitters) and skill levels (from intermediate all the way to...

2 out of 5 rating for Nostalgic VII The Stiga Nostalgic VII caters to a narrow player segment. Highly advanced players with excellent and consistent technique and footwork, emphasizing speed over spin will be able to harness the blade’s unique qualities and produce extremely deep and dangerous...

4 out of 5 rating for Clipper CR The Clipper CR WRB is a well-balanced, light (or so it feels), and linear blade for close-to-the-table control- and spin-oriented all-round players. The blade reminds me most closely of a more robust version of the DHS Power G7. When combined with relatively...

4 out of 5 rating for Ovtcharov Carbospeed The DOC is a very fast and stiff blade that offers a surprisingly high level of control. In my opinion, the DOC pairs very well with slower and tacky Chinese rubbers and short pips. The DOC is best suited for highly advanced players who remain relaxed...

Brilliant. Thank you very much. I did try to contact the owner of the blog to see if we can get to access to it again since it was an excellent series.

Digging through old messages, I think it was called "Thoughts on table tennis"

I tried to find a blog series that I read several years ago, written by a physics Ph.D-student (I think) explaining various aspects of TT in a scientific manner. For example, whether to combine hard blades with soft, medium or hard rubbers; or why Chinese rubbers result in the highest amount of...
