It devalues the information I bought from the dark web. In any case, DOB is so irrelevant. They already provide the year.

Was it originally red?

I guess a plus/minus of 5g amounts to production inconsistency in the reviewer's POV: "Weight-wise, my blade came in at 84g, which is just below Sanwei’s listed range of 90g ± 5g. I prefer a lighter blade, so this was good for me but speaks of there being quite a lot of weight variation in...

The review mentions "production inconsistencies" as a drawback. It's a very odd thing to say in a review. I mean, how would they know if they received only one copy. Yet there's nothing in the review saying they received more than one.

Which TT official had the silly idea of publishing every player's date of birth? Identity theft risk for no reason.

As you may recall from another thread, the Nova Carbon is in my to-buy list, that's why I'm really interested in what you experienced. I'm not actually sure which of the two versions I would like. I think the blade on the left is consistent with what's shown in the Sanwei website. But...

Yeah I was wondering if they were from different batches whose specifications have changed over time. So maybe both are 'correct to specs' but just have different specs. They both look well-made. Also interested in what light Andrea can shed.

You bought both from the same shop? Was it direct from sanweisport.com or some other vendor?

I had not heard of Hashimoto before this post. Watched her match vs Wang Manyu. Wow! She makes watching TT like watching tennis (I mean that in a good way).

I didn't read the post title. I thought I was watching a China Smash 2025 men's doubles. Someone so casually slapping away the opponent's loop only happens at China Smash level. Next skill should be Adam Bobrow gangnam dance ;)

I have one of those blades. Bought from TT11. Your copy looks normal to me. Where did you buy it that makes you think it might be fake?

I'm curious how difficult it would be to stamp the composition on the face of the blade.

This week I got the chance to play with a Gauzy BL7 with Double Fish Volant on both sides for several hours several days. It's a very different feel from the Persson Power Play. My Adriana Diaz backhand punches that work perfectly on the PPP (with unboosted H3) just didn't have the same punch...

Another one is to remove the garter from your shorts or wear shorts 3 sizes wider than your size. This will force you to always be bending because if you straighten both legs, the shorts fall to the ground.

At this point, I'm more interested in the theoretical pure 'algorithm' rather than actual practical things like hairdryers. :)

I'm curious what's a time saving technique when gluing both sides of the blade. I mean I could follow the steps I listed, for each side of the blade. To make it simplistic, assume it takes 30 mins for the glue to dry, that will take 1 hour for the forehand, then another hour for the backhand =...

So for 2-2 and only for one side of the blade: Apply first layer of glue to blade and to rubber Wait 30-40 minutes (or using the other criteria: when the glue is transparent and no white spots) Apply second layer of glue to blade and to rubber Wait 30-40 minutes (or using the other criteria)...

Thanks for this post. Very useful info for some of us. I've always had the vendor glue my rubber + blade when I order, like TT1. I'm pretty sure they will just use one layer, so now I'm thinking to remove one setup and reglue it and see the effect. I think I know the answer, but just want to...

Which Sanwei blade is the 'professional' or 'advanced' equivalent version of Surge NITRO? I mean, if I wanted a blade with similar characteristics, but not looking for a budget version.

While viewing French tournament (https://www.youtube.com/live/36QW1lPqOg4?feature=shared) I clicked on the German league (). Maybe just my imagination but the play in the German leagued seemed way more aggressive. Is there a German way/philosophy of playing TT vs French way of playing TT...
