    you mean those photoshopped labels? that exist only in your world? mkey, mkey, cool, cool. I mean, your world, your rules.
  3. Need help deciding if i should get a Xiom Hugo HAL

    I tried FZD SALC, and while I really liked the feeling, it was a bit too pingy and way too fast. if I would still be in 7-10 times a week training process, this would be a different thing, but yes - for now, this is too much for me. I liked playing with it, but had a feeling that the ball was...
  4. Serving laws

    I do this all the time … but there are moments in play where I get to the serve and my hand is already sweaty again … 🙈
  5. Serving laws

    but also, if I just let it drop, it bye bye point to me and hello point to my opponent? I sweat a lot and especially during backhand serves (don't know why only backhand serves) ball sticks to my palm often ... and I usually miss or have a bad serve ... so I would be glad to see if there is a...
  6. Need help deciding if i should get a Xiom Hugo HAL

    wow, I came to this only now and I couldn't agree more. I mean, I played most of my competitive career with outer blade, but it was Moonbeam, which was on paper, similar to HAL - well, Moonbeam had limba top layer, whereas HAL has koto, but both had this distinctive, no-carbon-arylate layer...
  7. Dignics 09c

    Reply to review by 'Yurifi' on item 'Dignics 09c'

    I don't understand - you play defensively with this rubber or offensively? I tried this rubber maybe half a year ago, just for fun, not on my blade, and partner on the other side had plenty problems keeping the ball on the table, and that was just random, no effort looping. now I have my own, on...
  8. Butterfly Harimoto ZLC Vs Harimoto Super ZLC

    well ... not Harimoto, but AZXi ... one side is A (Arylate) and one side is Z (ZL Carbon) ... Z side has noticeably harder feel, more direct power, not so bouncy as well, so to say. A side has softer touch, bit more flex and bit more bounce. again - I know I am not speaking about Harimoto blade...
  9. Crooks should be ashamed, anyway.

    cheater? what cheater? honestly - what did Wang Chuqin do to you?
  10. Post your latest EJ purchase

    jumped back onto Butterfly wagon ... Dignics09c on FH and Dignics05 already on the AZXi ...
  11. Rumour new Butterfly flagship rubber

    hahaha, I hate AI, but - I wonder, what would come out if you put this into our beloved friend ChatGPT and ask him to make a video ... 😂
  12. Table Tennis Shoes.

    I used Asics and Mizuno ... but then I came across some Li-Nings, as we were cleaning a bit my late father's belongings I came across basically unused Li-Ning Ma Long Tokyo edition shoes. best shoes I have ever had. comfortable. light. sturdy. durable. next ones will definitely be Li-Ning again.
  13. BTY ALC Blade Differences IMO: Share your thoughts!

    which Xiom blades did you have? because I've been tempted by Viscaria or FZD ALC, they are basically the same, but as you said, FZD is supposed to have better balance and I do play with heavy rubbers (FH is usually ESN50deg+ lately), but am just afraid it would simply be too fast ... currently...

  15. Which setup should I invest more time in?

    spare blade is always welcome, especially if you are competing. if a rubber gets damaged, you can just swap the blades. it won’t be exactly the same, but should play pretty similar.
  16. What's the best Butterfly off wood blade?

    wait, 3 pages of “best Butterfly wood blade” and nobody mentioned THE blade? the one and only. the legend. Butterfly Jonyer-Hinoki name a better Butterfly all-wood blade. oh … yeah … YOU CAN’T! 🤪
  17. Any news and info on Zhang Jike's New donic bluegrip j line?

    yes, true. but - is your footwork good enough? because with every step further from the table, your footwork is under more pressure. more steps, more distance to be covered, but yes, you do gain a little bit of time.
  18. Any news and info on Zhang Jike's New donic bluegrip j line?

    I really don’t get it - he doesn’t allow you to play either J-series, but lets you play with A1? A1 is definitely one of the fastest rubbers, I really doubt that any tacky rubber is faster than A1 … because the tack alone slows it down. haven’t played with Z52.5 yet, but I guess it isn’t the...
  19. "This rubber is not correct!"

    because you are the last one with the video ... I can play against long pips blindfolded (short pips are a bit different story), thanks to my father, he taught me how to play against them, the defenders, blockers ... to me, it is a cat and mouse play and I enjoy it very much. also in the club...
  20. "This rubber is not correct!"

    I was there it was pretty much the whole match, as Pistej is almost as old as me and I know him from my competing days. but yeah, Levenko was pushing hard in this match, couldn't hear the provocations from Pistej's part, but there was something going on after that bump ... I think Pistej was...
