  1. Is it worth to switch to defence style?

    I switched recently to my own style of modern defense - inspired by Muramatsu and Joo Saehyuk. Although I am still adapting and mostly attacking currently, I do not want to go back to full offensive style. I will not become a pro or realistically make any money by playing, so I try to enjoy the...

  3. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Had a training session today with robot and partner practice. I tried the hip rotation and it really helped - before that I sometimes did it and sometimes not. I put a lot of emphasis on coiling with my hip and hitting the ball a bit later and it worked better than expected. While that...
  4. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Just wanted to share this training video. Even if you don't want to use it for technique, it's just amazing to watch. Especially after 1:45 I am currently fixing some flaws in my FH technique and I like to take these kinds of videos for orientation. Right now, my timing on FH loops in open...
  5. New Blade Journey and Jinshi KLC

    Sounds very similar to Yinhe Pro 05. There can be little to no feeling on some shots. This is how I described it in a different thread:

    Victas Spectol S1? Fits to your description except for being cheap and Chinese.

  8. GAN reviews Rxton 9

    I agree with @TensorBackhand . LAC could also be used as BH rubber, whereas I struggled with R9 on BH. I also use LAC without booster. Overall for me, LAC is slightly easier to use, R9 has more of a "Chinese"/ H3 type feeling to it. Both are good, I was successful with both rubbers for a...
  9. Why does everybody say Pro 05 is HL5 clone?

    GHL5 has the most "feeling" on almost all shots. Most flexible, best on semi-full swing forehand loops. Most dangerous arc + speed + effect on the other side of the table. Also the most satisfying, but requires better footwork and overall better technique. Slowest, and for me personally, the...
  10. Why does everybody say Pro 05 is HL5 clone?

    The stuor HALC is stiffer, less flexible and has less "feeling", than the Pro 05, imo. A lot more control and less power - even before I glued the SP and had a normal BH rubber. With SP its only 170 ish gram, which makes it like I cannot miss a forehand loop. Blocking is almost automatic - I...
  11. Why does everybody say Pro 05 is HL5 clone?

    Yes, I play best with my Pro 05 and I love it overall. My main issue with it is the "low/medium" power range where I sometimes struggle with blocking or looping slowly with less power and overshoot the table. But looping underspin on FH and BH and producing spin and speed on loops simply too...
  12. Why does everybody say Pro 05 is HL5 clone?

    Same for me. Same weights for both of my Pro 05s.

  15. Why does Dima twindle on smashes?

    Back then it was D09c +D05 .
  16. What is the technical reason Ma Long and top pros love W968?

    Wdym by snappier blade? Inner ZLC? The one player that comes to my mind is Franziska, and although it isn't a big sample size, nor does he use H3 on forehand, but in his technique you can see how he "holds back" in close/medium distance to the table with his movements. He rarely goes for...
  17. What is the technical reason Ma Long and top pros love W968?

    Idk why exactly it is like that in, but it requires much less adjustment in terms of blade angle etc. . You can basically swing with decent/good technique and you will hit the table with good quality.
