I think hard blades with soft rubbers is its own style of equipment that make use of the bottom out effect of the rubbers to get control of the ball. I suppose Truls Moregardh has developed like this and it has made his flat attack shots really effective even at the highest level. The chinese...

I think my psychology is trying to escape death by creating something that is not me, which is being a good table tennis player. I know that I am going to die, so I have to be not me in order to not die.

Stiga Perform and Donic P40+ ITTF 3*** as they play pretty much identical and they are the ones being used in competition here in Norway

You could try Xiom Vega Pro and Donic Bluefire M3 and see if you like those, as people say they are both very similar to Tenergy 05.

I have played about two years with Rakza Z and the thing about this rubber is that the output of the power you put into it is not linear. Smashes are slow, thin hits are kinda slow because of the tackyness, but the middle ground power input is fast ... so I guess its a inverted u-curve. My...

For me? Yasaka Mark V.

I would study the playstyle of Ni Xialian on youtube and try to get into her equipment. I think this is the best setup for playing in old age because you can punch the ball. There is an old player in my club that plays similar, with japanese hinoki penhold and only tibhar mxp rubber on one side...

PiMPLEPARK Protectio Velox is the sealer that spinfactory.de uses that I referred to earlier. Anyone else have experience with it or know what it is made of?

This is quite anecdotal, but I tried ordering an identical blade to my main blade so I had a backup just in case, but I ordered from a different store that had their own exclusive sealant (contra.de instead of spinfactory.de). De blade weight is almost identical, but the feel and speed of the...

I think equipment can give a hint, but you really need to see what the opponent does and adjust from there. Sometimes you can be overly theorizing about how to play and this will make you forget the important basics. If I see someone with fast equipment on my level, then I will be more passive...

Not to hijack the thread or anything, but I saw the rubber Yasaka Rising Dragon being discussed as a forehand rubber and was wondering if people have experience with the differences between this and Yasaka Rakza Z. I have played with Rakza Z for a long time as a beginner and was hoping for a...

He certainly spams a lot of videos with provocative statements about the "truth" that everyone is missing ... a way to get views I suppose.

Yep, I have recently started playing in the park this summer to try and remind myself what is fun about table tennis. People seem to forget that they wont get any better unless they are playful with the game. Problem is, when the crew that hangs out in the park have started to notice that I...

I have two Avalox P500 that are different weight and have the same rubbers. My main is the slowest one, and the difference is quite noticeable. I bet I can order one that is even slower. Glueing and lackering has some effect on the speed as well, especially if you do a poor job of glueing the...

I went from H3 to Rakza Z and felt that it was much more controllable and consistent. However, I would love to try an even slower hybrid, since I play with a bit fast blade for my level. Has anyone exstensive knowledge about the differences between RZ and Glayzer 09c, or are there any other...

No, I dont have enough experience to anticipate efficiently, which is partly why my footwork is so good since I always have to start to move to a ball at a much later time than most players. One theory I had was that I have this bad habit of not perceiving opponents racket at the time of impact...

Ok, my weakness in games are often high balls to the backhand side, serve receive on the forehand side, finding solutions for weak points in my opponent and long forehand topspin to forehand topspin rallies. My trainer has also pointed out that I am weak at judging the length of the ball so as...

What are you guys opinions about the best fundamental training drills for the modern table tennis game when a trainer is feeding the player balls?

Yea, I have been going back and fourth and playing with Mark V on my backhand for a year was the best decision I ever made for my game, allthough it did make my backhand a bit passive at times since it just does not have to "umphf" to kick into peoples faces, and I cant really topspin with my...

As you can see in my profile, I use the Avalox P500 and I am hesitant to change the blade since I have become very accustomed to it and I like it very much. If I can remember correctly, I think the speed of this blade sits smack in the middle between off- and off, which is probably 10% faster...
