  1. Light paddle vs heavy paddle

    My setup is usually between 205 and 210 g. its heavy and for backhand it doesnt feel as good as a lighter racket. But the forehand feels better for me atleast.
  2. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Looks better. The high quality loops are good, and i wouldn't comment on that. Looks good to me. Its noticable when you have to move tightness in the should and upper arm sets in, try being mindful of that. When you have little time, for example when you have someone blocking for you. Engage...
  3. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Hmmm. A player not understanding the rubbers function. The tabletennis rubber is made from 2 parts: Topsheet and Sponge. The topsheets purpose is to "grab" the ball. Envelop it and hold it for a split second on impact. Tensor rubbers as the name implies have high tension, which gives it the...
  4. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    I think this is too nitpicky, forehand should be able to work for anyone. As long as they have arms :P The difference between being 160cm, 170cm, 180cm, 190cm, there really isn't as big of a difference in terms of which techniques you can and can't do. You get what you get
  5. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Getting a lower will make the ball contact more similar to thiers. Franz gets very low so he can hit from down to up, while hips turn sideways into the ball and lets the arm follow with acelleration. When you stand tall you lowest point of the racket gets behind the ball. That means its hard for...
  6. Need easier to use alternative to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo

    It’s all up to you and your coach. For most players I would say it’s not necessary to use it before 2000 rating. Though if you like it you can switch before. A more controlled and slower blade will allow you to better focus on the technique to produce power rather than having it from the...
  7. Need easier to use alternative to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo

    Sounds better than the vis :)
  8. Need easier to use alternative to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo

    Similar to dignics but softer sponge. Easier to activate. Better for developing players than dignics.
  9. Need easier to use alternative to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo

    If you are a beginner / intermediate then viscaria is only stunting development. Blade is too fast. Fast doesn't mean that the ball will go out of the table too much it means that strokes when you aren't in the perfect position will be mistakes easier. I would say up until maybe 2000-2200 ttr...
  10. Need easier to use alternative to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo

    Viscaria is a stiff blade :P. Most likely it isn't the coach that told him to buy it. Could be a gift or just seen some reviews and bought.
  11. Need easier to use alternative to DHS Hurricane 3 Neo

    Hmmm, suggesting another rubber and not another blade... What an interresting coach. Viscaria for a 13 year old. H3N promotes good technique for it to be used correctly. Stiff carbon blades reduce dwelltime and therefore also the time you have to compress the rubbers sponge. All players with...
  12. Hurricane Long 5 Light

    Im sticking with the Long 5 for now. Probably better for development going from intermediate to advanced. Harimoto more stiff hence less control on slow shots, but felt more linear. Harimoto racket is usually 190g. but felt more heavy somehow
  13. Hurricane Long 5 Light

    Just recieved the blade and have tested it about 3 times. Statistics: Whitecard stats Batch: 25 04 Weight 85,5g Thickness 5,84mm Balancepoint 123mm Bounce height 294mm Rebound speed decay rate 68% 159mm x 150mm Rubbers: I've put Hurricane 3 Neo 39 degrees on forehand boosted. Tenergy...
  14. Rubber help

    Rozena is very good for both intermediate and beginners
  15. Fan Zhendong is joining 1. FC Saarbrücken next season

    Most likely didn't pack a black D09C.
  16. Changing my forehand rubber

    If this is too slow then maybe just maybe a technique problem. ORRRRR the more likely reason you are the new Ma Long and this setup is too just too slow because the opponent keeps bringing the ball back on your 90-100% power loops
  17. Fan Zhendong is joining 1. FC Saarbrücken next season

    Heres my hypothesis for this. When he was playing in Macau recently he def played with hurricane on the forehand. In the beginning of the german season he experienced some difficulties and losing to players he def shouldn't lose to. It might have been because hes adjusting or something like...
  18. Nittaku Fastarc G-1+G-1 or G-1+C-1?

    Great decision. Many players just change rubbers to something else because it "doesn't feel righ" and often it's just a technique problem. The only problem with rubbers i understand is if its too hard or too old. Rarely will people play with too soft of a rubber
  19. Looking to Buy: HARIMOTO TOMOKAZU INNERFORCE SUPER ALC

    I have one avaliable for sale. No scratches, played with for 3-4 sessions. No decoloration on the wood. What would you be willing to pay :)
  20. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    Ehh, i agree to some of this. All top players and just normal good players with good consistent forehand topspins has the framework like this, with the backswing. Maybe It's a little exegerated for him now, but take into consideration its the first training session trying it. Here Liang...
