i play and like to play with chinese rubbers and they are not even remotely like any tenergy. you are better of with cheap esn like vega pro or other japanese rubbers like stiga mantra (pro) then with any chinese alternative. btw ak47 are total crap compared to something like vega pro and only...

my harder shots had more spin than the slower/softer ones wich felt a bit weird since my slow openings get blocked out of the table really often and the harder ones not. same with my serves, the most spinny ones are not as effective as the ones where the deception is greater then the spin i can...

did a screenshot in the livestream of ittf just because i saw that his blade has koto outer instead of limba that is used in the commercial and professional version of the blade

first look at rxton 9 pro 39°: the most notable difference is that it is really elastic! kinda feels like an hybrid esn sheet in hand, but very hard around 57 esn scale. don't get me wrong here, it is still dead like a chinese rubber with no bounce at all and you will need booster, but i can...

rakza z is a good rubber, but a bit too slow and the hand feeling the rubbers creates is not good, feels muted. all those softer hybrids have problems with power generation and i think a normal rubber would be better in that hardness. if you go harder the picture changes and i think something...

tbh you should not care about chinese techniques or anything alike, if you have coaches around you you should visit them and listen to them! they can help you 100% because the basis is anyway the same

wow thanks again for that very detailed blog section of yours! with my friends we solved a lot if internal discussion about wood and fibers with your website and now can clear the next thing about handles! you doing great work two questions: about the pvc, timo boll said in his channel that he...

if you play the HAL and think it is too fast then you could easily switch to a normal 5ply blade. since the handle of the HAL is inspired by butterfly handles, you could look into something like Korbel or Primorac. edit: (also looking at the fact that you play rubbers that are already more on...

i bought the new loki rxton 9 pro and will compare against the normal one (both with one layer of booster). bought it on alibaba for 25€ incl shipping, so still a cheap rubber. i was interested since they invented a new topsheet for this one and i always felt that, after the boosting effect is...

normaly rubbers have less bounce, less spin, better passive game and more feeling for the wood (sometimes they can even feel harder) when you go thinner. so if you are an aggressive two wing looper as you say then just stick with 2.1 and ask butterfly to send you the lightest version. i think...

i know someone that uses VOC glue as a temporary seal. he puts voc glue, waits one hour, then one layer water based glue on it and normal glue procedure with water based glue two layers on the rubber. but you need to do it everytime you glue new rubbers on

maybe you mean stiff instead of hard, because i played viscaria before i moved to HAL and HAL is way softer and more forgiving for me, but it shure is way stiffer then some inner carbon blades i tried that felt harder but flexier

but now you changed the argument. from the perspective of looking through the wtt players (opponents of sabines) eyes you are right that she and her anti is the exception. but your post was about looking through sabine eyes onto the players she faces. i mean all of her wins are all about...

making a case out of an anomaly is not scientific, but shure you know that already. my analyses in this match: I would argue that short pips have an real advantage against spin reversal style rubbers like anti and long pips due to not being able to generate as much spin on their own and the...

wow 191 answers for the search of a FH rubber. you are a lucky man that you didn't need to pay for the amount of engagement you got

one thing i would like to add: i feel that hard and sticky rubbers like d09c, h3n (or rxton 9 that i play) are way harder to play against pimples or anti, because they always need acceleration, confidence and rhytmn and that is exactly what defensive players wanna take away from you. and since...

hey ash, i think you can switch to easier to play equipment if you don't find the time to practice anymore. but i would advise to only change one thing either rubber or blade. option 1: you can use your viscaria and instead of the dignics you can choose glayzer that is an softer and easier to...

i ask about it, because rating is actually not visible just by looking at someone play. it is the overall ability how someone can perform on weekly basis against all kinds of players. some players with good technique look like 2000usatt, but play like 1600, because under pressure and against all...

can you add a video of your play? would be nice to have some sort of idea wich level you are talking about and what technical abilities you mean
