That's not a very expensive blade to modify. What you could try is using some strong thread or wire. Starting at the head facing part of the handle (my used blades tend to have a small/tiny, easier to access gap at this part) and "saw"/pull the thread/wire through. Worked for me on a V14Pro and...

Soft despite being an outer carbon. Blue Advance and Crazy Victory 1 are on my list or maybe the national version (729 NB49) if I can find a good deal. No Inner carbon blades for me. My BH doesn't like them (at least the ones I could try) ;)

Depending on store three to four 729 Blue ALC = half a Viscaria in Germany ;) V14Pros are "light" 87g and 88g, the 729 Blue ALCs in use are all over 90g. V14Pro have a thinner top ply, ALC kicks in earlier and they are overall a bit faster. 729 Blue ALC feels a bit softer and I find it easier...

Wow... I thought I had a lot of setups... Main setups (all setups with H3N 39 OS on FH): - 2x 729 Blue ALC with H3N 37 OS on BH Test setups: - 2x 729 Blue ALC, 1x Codexx EL Pro 52 (heavily boosted), 1x 729 Taichi 39 in/37 out on BH - 1x Loki Telson CNF with Telson 100 on BH Fallback/old setup...

Hard to tell without pictures or videos. Usually your first method should work if you're pinching just slightly and your blade's handle and wings fit to your hand 1) The second method should not be used because it always reduces how much and easily you can use your wrist especially when playing...

Some of the topspin is converted to forward motion. How much depends a lot on the table's surface and the ball used.

This is something Tiefenbacher and Durey (The Impact of the Table Tennis Ball on the Racket) already did in 1994 but I haven't looked through all the other studies' references and searched for it. T&D keep the well known coefficient of restitution (which they call E_par) and introduce T_par the...

What does acceleration do? It just increases (or decreases) the racket velocity over time and therefore the impact velocity. Do any of these studies show that contact time increases with higher impact velocities? No, they all show that contact time decreases with higher impact velocities.

It doesn't matter if the racket is stationary or not (we are not talking about relativistic velocities ;)). What matters is the impact velocity either this is only the ball or it is v_ball + v_racket. I agree that we might have a slightly longer contact time or rolling contact when we loop...

Of course this slow motion video was shot with 16 kfps otherwise we would not be able to see any of the blade's vibrations. The blade tested is afaik an Avalox BT555. Some measured this with around 1300 Hz (16k / 1.3k ~ 12.3) and this is what we see + some faster vibrations of the blade. On a...

Super Slow Motion Table Tennis Ball and racket physics Shot with 16000 fps. Impact between blade and ball (at 76 km/h ~21 m/s) and blade with long pimples and ball (44 km/h ~12 m/s). Contact time <= 1 ms Impact prediction between ball and racket in table tennis...

Uninspiring or just good enough😉 or They say basically the same: good spin, good speed but less than D09C/Dynaryz ZGX and slower when further away/when hitting hard. That can be both positive or negative. Less errors vs harder to overpower an opponent, safety vs speed and so on.

Not really. Just a couple of hits when it was released. G09C for quite some time maybe 2/3 of its lifespan. Boosted it slightly (nice but not enough) then I used too much and it became too mushy with low trajectory...

It is something special. Just 43g to 44g cut on a 157 mm x 150 mm Bty head for such a hard sponge is special. Codexx has lower trajectory, is not really faster (maybe for a short time until the factory booster has worn off) and it's harder to generate quality shots/spin with the Codexx. C53 is...

Butterfly uses koto, koto, kiri, koto, koto for the Falcima. Result is that it plays a bit like a balsa blade when using high input power. More speed than my YEO with similar weight and thickness but less spin. The Hadraw 5 uses ayous for its core so should be more stable than the Falcima...

Rakza Z is definitely not the slowest but slower than D09C and this is not just because it's tackier than D09C. Codexx EL Pro 52/EF Pro 54 may work but is also from ESN like the RZ. Similar tackiness, a bit harder (52°/54° ~ 39°/40° Shore A vs 50° ~38° Shore A), lower arc, and faster than RZ...

To quote a well-known table tennis playing chemist (PhD): "There are two main types of non-VOC boosters, i.e., paraffin/mineral oil-based boosters like the Haifu Seamoon booster (very popular in Asia) or Falco Tempo Long Booster (popular in Europe/US) or limonene-based boosters."...
