But does ML want to be back in the CNT? And can his body take the punishment?

I remember a post on here and a vid by Timo Boll which included where he puts his edge tape as well. He really only likes the tape on about 1/3 of the edge, where it gives some protection when pushing. He said that the ‘feel’ was very different compared to a full wrap of tape around the blade.

I watched Yuan Licen v LSD, LSD won 4-1. What surprised me was what appeared to be lack of spectators, lack of noise etc especially for a semi final match. I haven’t been following these games, so maybe the amount of spectators was much higher for the earlier rounds? This raises another...

I think the OP may have answered his own question in post 1 with the attached video !! Perhaps, more for us amateurs rather than Pro’s.

I’ve also put Z03 2.7mm onto 1 of my Defensive SDC 7+2ply blades - controllability on BH side was easier than the 2.5mm on the Primorac allwood SDC clone. Blocking especially. On the FH, when looping, the difference was less noticeable (to me).

One way to look at this subject is to - 1) Try and play with a sheet of rubber - no blade!! 2) Try and play with a blade - no rubber!! Without a blade the rubber (be it LP/MP/SP/inverted) is basically useless, where as, a blade on its own can be played with. So from a practical point of view a...

It’s now been a couple of weeks playing with Z03 on FH (2.7) and BH (2.5). still on the all wood blade. I played a match tonight and when I got my FH loop going it was very good, high spin and fast. Accuracy was pretty good too. No problems with FH short game touch and control. In fact I would...

Not sure if you have seen Hugo on Pongfinity? They are doing a series where Pros do a trick shots, serve at targets etc the usual pongfinity stuff. One ‘test’ is to produce max spin. The other pros used forehand, Hugo his BH - resulting in the highest revs/second recorded. Can’t remember exactly...

Decathlon website is not functioning!! So I couldn’t compare to the Sponeta table. I have a Sponeta table, the S6-12i which I believe is one model below the S7’s. I bought this table for home use - in my garage. It’s a very sturdy table, supplied with a really good quality net. Sponeta is a very...

Interesting video from Zhang Jike.

The coaching sessions that we run have a very mixed standard of players. From TOTAL beginners to advanced players. When coaching a total beginner we usually have to supply a bat for them to use. with beginners, we show them grip, ready position, the basics etc. I like to get them to just bounce...

When using the ‘best’ rubber DHS have, there was no where else to go. Over time the blades were upgraded.

Maybe, but why did he change his blades more than the rubber? Obviously, it appears the change of blade was making a difference not the rubber.

The spectrum of available rubbers types ( LP, MP, SP, inverted, sponge / no sponge etc ) means that the ‘effect’ a rubber has is WAY more than that of a blade. if you ‘upgrade’ your blade it’s usually (not always) for more speed. TT is a fast game, any time you can take away from your opponent...

DHS sponsorship of CNT meant he HAD to use a DHS FH rubber.
