Fantastic. Good to hear. Most higher level players here use D05 on the BH, I thought D09C would be a bit too hard... Again, you like it, all that matters...

Sorry NL, I didn't want to sound controversial... I just thought you'd explain why so hard on the BH... It fits you, that is all that matters.

OK, I see... I've heard people say that H3 H40 or so transmits power well on direct drives, you're not the first one... But that is not what I feel, for me H37 transmits power/speed on direct drives better the H40/H41... And relatedly, H40/H41 are better for me for FH blocking than H37, they...

;-) hmm, I wish I reach the level where I can honestly say, H37 boosted is the optimal BH rubber for me... far far far away ;-) But Rakza Z, no thanks. I tried that. I dislike it on both sides. On the BH, I very much prefer the Rakza X, directer, much better for exchanges, for blocking, enough...

That is strange. How can you feel that way. When the sponge is hard enough, I don't have the feeling of wasting energy on the FH side, because the hardness allows the tangential impact to be converted also to spin, and not bottom out - which would not convert to spin, but rather to speed and...

The way I read it, it seems you couldn't recover fully yet. Human body has capacity to recover, and this capacity can be activated even more than usual, by fasting. I'd recommend you find resources about fasting, autophagy, stem cells. It's not hard nowadays. E.g. I do approx. 7 days water...

My new blade from Sérgio, SDC Blades. These are Sérgio's photos. Composition: limba - ayous - A-C - ayous - A-C - ayous - limba. Yes, yes, yes, that ;-) 93.6g - 5.9mm - 1270Hz - Balance: 3.3cm (Med) - 159x150mm. Dense core, Viscaria like handle. I'm going to try first with the rubbers I'm...

Yes, e.g. Wang Chuqin is a good example. Imo, the goal is to serve different spins with the same motion (or very similar motion). It doesn't matter whether we speak about pendulum, reverse-pendulum or hook or whatever... In case of pendulum, if you, immediately after ball contact, follow with...

Yes, the G-1 has a bit harder top-sheet. It's good but I also prefer slightly softer top-sheet, while having similar sponge hardness, on the BH. It's more easily accessible on the BH. So I can follow your feeling that you try to describe. I can suggest Vega Pro or Vega X. Vega Pro feels a bit...

Yes, I did the same some time ago... It's true that we can get BD for 15E on Ali, but I rather pay 2x that for rubber that suits me. It was thrown away money for me ;-) As Michael (TensorBackhand) says, it will be more powerful than say R7 on the FH, when you hit harder. On the other hand H38...

Recently I played a bit with BD H38 on my Viscaria, and in compare with the Vega X on the Vodak Horejsi ALC, the BD feels a bit harder (both the top-sheet and the sponge), and definitely also slower (even though on Viscaria). Grip is OK, but due to the harder feeling I don't prefer it for...

Viscaria, imo, doesn't have thicker handle. I don't have large hands and Viscaria handle feels comfortable. E.g. the usual Vodak handle is thicker, I sanded mine down. If you search for Viscaria like composition, there is Vodak Vision. I generally prefer inner-carbon though, there are choices as...

People from czech TT-forum are organizing a TT meeting in town Polička, 31.5.-2.6.2024. They do this every year, in diff. towns. The accommodation is taken care of. There will be 12 tables from Friday 14:00 till Sunday 12:00 NONSTOP. The meals are in the price, bier is there. The capacity is 80...

Since this is now about words and definitions, let's play devil's advocate for a moment ;-) If you are flexible about the meanings of "performance", why not also about the meanings of "downgrade"? We don't have to attach that negative connotation to the word "downgrade", and then "downgrade" is...

That's also why I'm more interested in the sponge and top-sheet hardness, because that (if I know the sponge type) tells me more than the personal judgments of speed, throw etc. Actually I think we should demand to know for each approved rubber, the top-sheet params - pimple shape, height...

Exactly, no hard feelings... But @Gtsnake, as I said, and others expressed, I would feel really bad because I'd knew that some balls, which I can and really like to attack, now I can't, because they are "protected" by an extra dead 20mm piece of wood. It would be very very disappointing. And if...

Certain players (which we all love with utmost intensity) base their whole life on the fact that they make some many "pigs" (nets or edges). This change would put them all out of business. We CAN'T let that happen!!!

Absolutely! So many balls would not be attack-able anymore. I'm putting that idea to my personal "hatelist" ;-)

I'm gonna practise that shot, and then I'm gonna use it in tight situations... Wait...
