Nittaku is a Japanese brand, but Fastarc is a German rubber made by ESN... regarding topic: why does a Ferrari cost 200.000€ and a Dacia 10.000€? Why does a no-name jacket cost 20€ and a Canada Goose 1000€? It is always about technology, research, quality, marketing. In addition you should...

I totally disagree in the assumption that T05 was better for europeans. Let‘s see it from a different angle: in the first years of the plastic ball era, the game was still the same as with celluloid. Players going away from the table, playing topspins. In the last few years, players changed...

@brokenball: don’t get me wrong. Everything you write might be fine and right, but i guess the vast majority of the forum members neither do have the equipment to measure those things you’re talking about nor are they scientists and do understand what you’re talking about (nor do they care about...

In my opinion frequency is a good indicator for blade speed. Anyway, it only indicates the base speed of a blade with low impact of the ball and not its reaction with high impact nor its catapult. TT gearlab instead brings 2 different indices which totally makes sense. E.g. the base speed of a...

In my mathematical world this would be 17 :D

Tenergy 80 was pimple code 180... they just named it 80 to make it easier... same with (2)19... I don’t get the discussion... does it make a difference whether it is 219 or 19?!? If it would be andro, they would have called it tenergier and tenergiest...

Anybody else wondering why only Viscaria like blades (Koto - xlc- Limba - kiri) blades have the blade and handle shape of the Viscaria: Viscaria, all Zhang Jike, lgy, now Lin Jin yu... I like this shape so much, but I want it with Innerforce! All the Innerforce have These damn slim handles and...

I guess all tenergies have mrsp of 9780, don’t they?

I guess T19 will be the same price as all Tenergy... if not, they would have called it Dignics 19, which might also appear, if t19 is a success

There are a lot of advices already here. From my point of view, the most valuable is, that you massively need to focus on „learning to read spin“. You are doing a lot of misreads and therefore taking the wrong shot. For example your opponent does a push (underspin) and you answer with a flat...

The main difference between Carbonado series and legacy is the medial ply: pine for legacy and ayous for Carbonado. Ayous is a harder wood than pine and therefore the legacy feels softer and less quick than Carbonado from my point of view. It anyway has a high throw compared to Carbonado which...

He used to play Butterfly blades with an attached Donic handle when he was sponsored by Donic. So why should he now play a Donic blade when he is sponsored by Butterfly?!?

Since falck Carbon seems to be a long5 clone, i would be pretty much interested into pitch frequency... any chance you could measure ist?

From my point of view passive blocking is something where you mostly react and you usually do not have the time to spin forward/upwards or you do not feel comfortable enough to do so. You just try to bring back the ball as good as the situation allows it (heavy spin or fast shot). In active...

I really like Fastarc G1 on FH right now. Makes my fast TS land, while they often went out with T05...

Get a off minus blade with normal headsize. This will decrease head heaviness a lot

I never advised an ALC. I said: take a slower blade! Alc is far away from being slow. Look at the blades I advised... On your level using carbon is not a good idea, since 95% of them will simply be too fast.

Everything that is in all+ or Off- Range is fine... Butterfly Primorac, Korbel, Donic Waldner Senso Carbon, Stiga Offensive Classic, etc. If you have issues with weight, you should ask for the blade with around 85g. All blades extremly vary in weight. You can get the Same blade with +- 10-15g...

Usual problem I often see in lower German leagues with young players is: Too fast equipment Lack of control Going all in on the first ball This mostly results in 10-20% wonderful winners, they dream of and 80-90% easy mistakes. You could either stick to this or change equipment and habits...

I also tried the freeze and liked it, but I have to admit, that I don’t share the opinion that it is slower than Viscaria. Mine had 86g and it was faster than Viscaria. Pitch frequency was around 1470 Hz which is quite high for a low weight blade. Feeling was good, but I struggled controlling...
