I will play such player as follows - 1. Scout his game in first set - Check which side of his opening is less threatening for your game, that is your safety zone/rally zone. Mostly it is backhand most players, but analyze and on what kind of ball, is it heavy backspin which is deep or is it...

Nittaku Fastarc G1 and Andro Hexer Grip/Powergrip series. But Nittaku will outlast Andro if you keep it well maintained i.e. clean it after play.

There is a very good review for Fastarc series on blog.tabletennis11.com You can check that.

100% correct. I agree totally as I used 6 sheets of G1(forehand) and C1(backhand).

May be some batch issue. I have been using Vega X for 5 months and I think I can still use it for 2 months more. I play around 6-8 hours a week. I used O7P earlier, and I found that it also had some issues when I switched to the second sheet. My second sheet started showing erosion in 3 months.

I have been using Xiom Vega X on both FH and BH since March 2023. I find it quite good for forehand and backhand keeping in mind that I am not a pro. Earlier I used to use Fastarc C1 on my backhand, and in comparison I found initially Vega X to be a quite a bit bouncier and springy for first...

I am using Xiom Vega X on both FH and BH. I find it very good for my game.

Kindly share a video of yourself performing the stroke.

Xiom products are not readily available across their product range in US. Either it is just me who is not able to find it or xiom is still struggling to get its footing here in US.

I use Vega X on both sides. I play offensive style. I really appreciate the quality of the rubber and I find it very good for my game. I might be around 1800-1900 USATT however, I haven't played tournaments since COVID started so I cannot be sure.

If I understand you correctly then you are referring to a push with very less backspin. I would advise you to first develop this stroke in your own skill set. If you learn how to vary the spin on your push you will start to develop the feel of the ball on your paddle. Once you slice the ball to...

Delamination cannot be cured fully, unfortunately. If the top ply is delaminated then though it can be fixed with an appropriate glue but the feel of the blade changes. I have a first hand experience with this situation. After I got one of my blade repaired due to poor manufacturing QC, though...

Can you share some pics of the damage?

I would like Dan and Tom to add one more additional column to their ratings table. This column should highlight the player level for which they feel a particular equipment is suitable. Overall, I am very happy with their reviews, however, if they can emphasize in their review on the which...

Hi Zayno77, Thank you for reading and replying to my post. I would say that powerpong and amicus are made by same manufacturers. Honestly, I expected a much higher quality after paying top dollar for a Butterfly product. Nevertheless, it is a very good robot and it works very well. Previously, I...

True from wood/alc composition perspective, but the behavior differs based on the handle, wings and blade weight. However, players can notice this difference only when they have played with one particular combo for a long time. If you switch quite often, then it is not that easy to point out the...

Use the same set of rubbers which you are using on your main paddle. That will reduce the number of variables and will give you the exact difference in feel (i.e. soft vs. hard), ball grab/bite, catapult, throw angle i.e. high vs. low. If you add any new rubber which you haven't tried before...

I remember the time when I can feel my knees knocking and hand shaking due to nervousness. My mind was totally blank and I didn't know what to do. My shoulders were too tight and made simple unforced errors. Well, as my friend NextLevel says above - "Journey before destination". We humans are...

Spin is Control.
