Short answer: D09C Long answer: It depends on your technique Both rubbers have high very spin potential. Potential being the keyword here. The spin will only come if you have the technique to get it out of the rubbers. If your technique isnt good enough, then you will find Tenergy 05...

I see this is an old thread, but I will answer anyway. It is very safe to assume 95% of pushes at our level are not going to be short on your end of the table. If they use some kind of tacky rubber, the chance might be greater. So keep this in mind and try to wait for that ball to come to you...

Thanks for the insight! So the dwell time has more to do with the core material and thickness then the outer layers? And if I understand it correctly, a flexible hard blade would have more dwell then a soft and stiff blade? And which of these properties contributes to a higher arc? Sorry...

Hi folks, This is a question that has been running in my head lately. Last season, I used a Sanwei V5 Pro. I really liked that I could hold the ball on my racket with that blade. However, I didn't like how inconsistent it was in active blocks. So I tried a different blade: Koki Niwa wood...

From someone that tried Cybershape for some time, I have to warn you about the difference in weight distribution. The Cyberschape is designed to have lass material thowards the handle and more material around the hitting area. This makes it more head heavy. I play with quite a lose wrist so for...

What makes Ma Long so great at table tennis is that he is a perfectionist at heart. Every muscle in his body seems to contribute to his shot quality. He is also an inventor. He reinvented his backhand technique to allow his forehand dominant play style to work in a backhand dominant era. And I...

The reason it doesn't translate to matches is because you guys are only training 1 specific incoming ball. Which is great if you are practicing a new stroke or trying to improve the quality of your technique. But in matches you will get many different kinds of different balls. Start adding more...

Defending smashes close to the table is a tough ask. The first active meassure you should take is to not give the opponent the oppertunity to smash. But depending on how the opponent plays this is easier said then done. Try to remember where he smashed the ball. Lots of players tend to smash...

Thanks for sharing. I never knew that they actually proposed this at some point. I wonder why Asian countries where so against it?

Although that would also make things more interesting, thats exactly not what I meant. Im pretty sure that the middle line on the table came into existence for a reason. Because outside of doubles the line doesn’t serve any purpose. But what I mean is that the serve stays diagonal, but that the...

Hi there, So we all know how in doubles you have to serve diagonal from the right half of the table. As a right hander who prefers to serve from the backhand corner I have been wondering. Why is it not allowed to serve from the left side of the table? The serve should still be diagonal, but...

Did you actually notice a big drop in performance? I know someone that used Glayzer 09C for 6 months and it looked awful, but it was still tacky and played well.

With counterlooping you are already thinking too far, this is not pro level. Just staying close to the table, after 1 or 2 blocks will neutralize their attack. They will either miss, or they go backwards themselves and you can then take over. Only when their attack is rather high and slow...

Honestly the most important thing is to stay low and forward during rallies. This is especially important for you because you are a tall dude. I see you get upright and start creeping backwards away from the table. Don’t be afraid of their attacks. Stay forward and stay close to keep the...

I dont remeber I ever cared about that ball I played. Then came the plastic ball... I missed the initial transition on amateur level because I wasn't playing at the time. So I haven't played alot with the first balls that would sound like they were broken from that start and brake after hitting...

I find this post so funny coincidence. because this video literally popped up in my feed earlier this week. I was watching it and thinking what would be the story about Fan and Heming knowing each other. Well I go what I asked for haha. It was a great story to read, thank you. PS: I had to...

Well you could contact Rudi through Sport Europe. He leads the SE Experience center and he usually does group sessions off season, but also occasionally sessions during the season in weeks where there is no matches.

I find the best way of learning to be taught by someone that already knows how to do what want to do. And that knows which issues you should fix first, instead of trying to fix 10 things at once. Because it can be very hard to know what exactly is the issue is. You could think your technique...

Sorry to say this, but if you can't beat a player like that, you are equally as bad at the game... Its really not that hard to play against pimples, but yeah it is different. So if you only ever played against players that play inverted, then playing against long pimples is going to be...
