The Forehand is the biggest factor. The dwell and hold on the ball, ability to almost "ignore" the incoming ball combined with the outgoing shot quality is really different to any other blade.

Yes, still legal. You can always check here: https://equipment.ittf.com/#/equipment/racket_coverings

It has a lot of spin and control for chopping, blocking and pushing. Loops are always dangerous with it and can easily win you the point right away without leading to Topspin-Topspin rallies. Especially as a chopper, where you are Emphasizing spin over speed.

I'd say D09c is good for you, but obviously expensive. I personally use Loki Arthur China for my Chopping and it's really good for both offense and defense, it lasts a long time, is cheap and similar to D09c. It won't hurt to try, under 20 Euro from AliExpress. Hurricane 3 is also an...

Just played a match with LAC in red, green package. Glued on my Yinhe Pro 05. Idk what it was, but my first impression is that it's strange. Something felt off and not right. Couldn't hit a good forehand, nor a good backhand with it. The balls just flew off the table. It was only 1...

That's why more and more people are doing it. Don't hate the players, hate the game. ITTF / WTT has led the sport it's current state.

Although I only have SP and not Anti, the receiving has become so much easier, now that I don't have to loop any attack / half-long / topspin serves. I can just chop/push or do some weird move against those serves and it helps my game tremendously. Receive against good opponents combined with...

It's confirmed for next season.

No, you don't need it.

As someone who currently chops and has a strong forehand loop, I can understand both sides. I can play against choppers quite well. I try to avoid extended loop-to-chop rallies and go for 1 or 2 strong loops to finish the point. I avoid "weak" backhand loops against underspin. I avoid "weak"...

I never use cleaner, I breath on the rubber and wipe it with my hands. Then I put a plastic cover on it without any air bubbles in-between them. This way the tackiness lasts forever.

Haven't tried either of them but your description of the AP sounds somewhat similar to the Pro 05. If you didn't like any of the other thicker core-inner Limba blades, you might also not like the Pro 05 either. Although I have to say, nearly everyone who tried my Pro 05 racket liked it and...

From what you're saying the Pro 05 won't meet your expectation of a HL5 clone. Not as "snappy" as you describe it. Pro 05 is different from my GHL5. GHL5 has more lower and medium gears, Pro 05 gets fast and powerful with less effort. I personally like it a lot, as others have said, it has...

Golden HL5 vs. Pro 05.

I'm playing with a setup that's similar. I can recommend it and it's not as expensive as the original. Less than 80 Euro/USD in total for Stuor Harimoto ALC + 2x Loki Arthur China.

I'd say increase the quality of the Forehand loop so that it doesn't even come back. Training that is simple: You Serve -> Partner pushes 70% of the table -> You try to loop and make it better each time. Even if you partners aren't good enough to block it, you can probably judge how good your...

Very hard, very very heavy. Doesn't play as "dead" as you would think, it's playable out of the package. High in spin. Haven't played with it in a while, but it's a good rubber overall, but it's really heavy. The speed is asscessable, unlike an unboosted H3 40/41. Cut to the blade: ~58g...

4:0 in singles with SP so far. Likely to be 6:0 next week. I go for a spinny 3rd FH loop and win most points like that. No more backhand rally weakness and overall more safety in pushing / blocking. Chopping technique is still in development, but neither my opponents or teammates were good...

Yuto was off form and didn't play to his usual level, it's been 3 matches per day for him since the first qualifying round, Kay played 2 matches prior to this over 2 days. Singles and doubles with Ueda for Muramatsu. Stumper played his 3 singles matches really well so far.
