Life is or can be long and full of surprises. I’ve settled on a blade, and have lost curiosity in others since. As for rubbers, I can still get itchy at times and have a penchant to tinker. I always like to get a first hand experience, sometimes on other’s rackets, sometimes on my own if I...

A hitter's blade, then, probably designed for SP play (with these extremely hard outers)?

A Mazunov or a Primorac Carbon will not have preglued rubbers - certainly no Mark V. Top notch blades, always sold bare with the sole purpose of combining it with your covering of choice to suit your needs and wants exactly. After so long, removing the old rubbers will probably still go easy...

All corona and no play makes Yoass a dull boy! TT activities have of course ceased until further notice, and there's no garage table available to me, alas. That being said, my lower back injury has subsided. I can walk again, huzzah!, and actually pretty much move without impediment — well, a...

Well, I’m a big fan of Gewo’s Nanoflex FT48, which also fits the profile, but it might not be available to you. I’d also mention Nittaku Fastarc G1, which (for me anyway; things can be level relative) produces more spin, or perhaps more easily so. It’s high end is about as fast, in low impact...

Thick suspense - the stakes being so high, I don’t think it’s easy for any party involved to call out what’s been obvious for at least half a year already. A high end game of chicken, I guess.

R48? [emoji6]

There's obviously quite a lot one could speculate about, but from my point of view this is terribly indirect - translated echoes of hearsay from Chinese media reacting to supposed Mima Ito statements. It fondly takes me back to the time when, as a part of studying the history of philosophy...

Not having a usable FH push at all?

Get well, Yogi.

It doesn't look too exciting, but might be fun playing. (Hey, come to think of it — that's what I think of nearly all sports, with all these field games boiling down to watching grass grow…)

No change as of today.

When!

Yes, the sound of impact can be telling.

Timo's review is rather lukewarm, with a "many roads lead to Rome" conclusion that falls quite a bit short of endorsing it. He also states that T19 has more of a catapult effect than T05, and (to me) surprisingly that he considers T05 or D05 more suitable for direct play close to the table...

What’s your play style, Centaur? Are you by any chance a flat- and counter hitter?

I play (well, would if there were play) R48. And I’ve played R53 before. Rubber is as rubber does. Then again, R48 and R53 are not just “This one goes to ELEVEN! That’s ONE LOUDER!” different - they’re just different. I loved the soft feel of R53. R48 feels firmer. Make no mistake, you feel...

I would think a micrometer is just 1/10e6th of a meter, whereas an instrument to gage thickness is, as far as I know, a caliper.

I. See. Dead. Markup. (When viewing content in Tapatalk.)

The handles are very different. The Boll ALC flared is very, very thin.
