Instantly fell in love with Rakza Z when I tried it, having played with H3 for a while, but I am an amateur and I would like to have a rubber where I have to work in the right technique to use it. Rakza Z feels like it automates the action because it holds on to the ball and still sends back...

I am 2,5 years into table tennis and switched to Yasaka Mark V the last year on backhand to improve my technique (slow things down) and recently changed to Nittaku Fastarc C-1 on backhand. This has helped my bakchand a lot. I can play further away from the table with Fastarc C-1 than with Mark V...

Focusing on the emotions of your opponent helps me stay in the moment instead of thinking about my own emotions. ... as I am a really introverted and kinda autistic guy, I have a hard time picking up on the vibe of other people, so focusing on this has helpen me a lot to break the rythm of my...

In the research I did for the blade I selected for myself (avalox P500), someone mentioned that it was the wood version of viscaria.

I dont know anyone that plays with C1, but it was the rubber I selected to upgrade from my Mark V backhand rubber on Avalox P500 (koto-spruce-ayous-spruce-koto) from all my online research and how I figured it suited my blade and playing style. I think its a rubber for more traditional chinese...

You guys havent seen dents like this before? I do this to all my blades :o ... I even split a blade in two once when doing reverse pendulum serve with downspin and hitting the back edge

There are ways to learn table tennis more efficiently, and it is often influenced by doing the things you dont like to do.

I agree with you both, but I have also experienced bad rubbers and gear that does not help with development. I have also experienced playing with DHS Hurricane 3 neo for 4 months when starting up which I did not love, but that my technique was improved in doing so.

If this is how you feel, then I would prefer you lie to me instead.

Hello, I have been trying to theorize the most optimal backhand rubber for my Avalox P500 for the modern style of two wing attacking looper at a developing beginner level. The blade itself is not optimal for the new plastic ball, but the minimalism in construction and superb touch and softness...

I know this problem all too well -- you try to learn how to play table tennis proper, but their style works into a ceiling that is above your level. I would say stop playing players that dont have grip on their rackets, or dont take the practice you do with these players so seriously. Honestly...

the design could be improved, if rather costly, by having it custom fitted to your hand

dunno if anyone is making it, I just thought of it and someone in my club had seen this image, so I searched for the image on the internet. the thing is that you aim much much better if you have your index finger as close to the hitting point as possible -- its how the had is naturally much more...

A sheet of wood on each side of the hand would be even better.

Since no one answered this, there is a list of blades that has this composition on https://stervinou.net/ttbdb/compo.php ... but I believe there are more also. If you have had any experience with this blade and what rubbers you prefer with it since you posted in 2019, please let me know. I have...

I know about revspin, but having a different source than this "crowdscoring" would help greatly, especially when you have controlled experiments like these guys do ... its much more scientific and much more reliable (higher truth value). Its kinda like comparing wikipedia, which is susceptible...

I started a youtube channel just to log my progress as an adult learner from scratch, and even though keeping motivated to practice has been hard at times (especially when injury and other things come in the way), watching old videos of myself kinda is motivating in itself. The improvement goes...

Do these guys have a spreadsheet of sorts over the different rubbers they have tested and their scores in comparison?

Not necessarily so. Check out the book The Paradox of Choice by Barry Schwartz. Even though this book is quite old, it has spurred a relevant discussion in recent years about the economy of attention. Also, the new generation of critical theorists in sociology are interested in the idea as a way...

I havent heard many people use these, but Mark V HPS is supposed to be light and also perform quite well +works for developing players. I also think you should look into doing some general weightlifting to improve tendon stregth and all the other added benefits you get from doing so. Just get...
