One of my clubmates got a HAL and I tried it out over the weekend. It's a pretty nice blade, doesn't seem to play very different from my FZD ALC. Both have a more woody feel and more flex than the Viscaria. He had D09c/D05 on it so I used the D09c side to test the BH and I felt very little...

I'm the exact opposite! No matter how long I use BTY blades I'm just drawn to the DHS handle and wings. That plays a big part in my decision to keep going back to DHS as well.

So I ended up sticking to the FZD for 6 months as I started getting coaching and didn't wanna mess with equipment for a while. Now I've improved my FH/BH fundamentals I decided to give the Q968 a twirl. The FH is fantastic, not the exaggerated arc of the W968 but better than the FZD, great spin...

It's available but there's a glitch on the mobile version. It's supposed to be in the 3 dots on the top right, but when you click on it it's fully occupied by ads. That's a formatting issue, the search button should be in there along with the ads. You can get around this problem by turning your...

I was a FZD ALC (H3BS/D09c) user who recently switched to the Q968 (H3BS/H3OS). It's got a very different feel, so it's impossible to tell if you'd like it. It's very much in between a W968 and a FZD, got some great flex when hit hard, has more of a slingshot effect than the FZD, which when hit...

Watching CY vs. Winter, I wonder why more pros don't play like CY vs. Winter/Akula's style? A lot of those BH anti/LP blocks are clearly long, so why push them back? Why not keep up the pressure, especially pivot to get a FH loop in? I never understood the one push, one loop strategy. It's so...

Doesn't the H8 only come in number 80 and 20 sponges? So which one are you referring to as the "normal" H8?

H8-80 or 20? H3 boosted certainly is a bit slow but has oodles of spin, and when hit hard the power of the blade and rubber harmonize well and you can hit some real cracking shots. The issue with the HL5's BH is that it holds onto the ball a very long time, so your typical power BH strokes are...

Two points. One, the scales are all different, so the measurements are only useful when using the same scale. This is particularly the case because hardness listed only applies to the sponge, and you have no way of measuring just the sponge. This leads to the second point, which is don't use...

Interesting, I would've thought that playing farther back would be a bit more taxing on your body? Either way, just play the way you'd like to play, and perhaps find a coach who'd coach you that way. I know my coach doesn't work for everyone. He points out everything that's wrong with your...

It wasn't a long service, it was an ambiguously half long one which caused the hesitation as Manav couldn't decide between a BH loop or push, resulting in a and relatively weak and push. With a long backspin you might get a pivot FH loop-kill down the line by your opponent instead or a much...

As some of you might already know, H3's take a while to play well after initial boosting. So my question is, for those who glue the rubber fairly quickly after boosting, how has your experience been? Does the timing for gluing matter? Does hitting with it speed up the process? It seems to me...

I've started going to the club a bit more often the past 2 weeks, with the goal of applying some of my recent trainings. I feel like I've made some pretty good improvements in my game play. Today I went to a coaching session, first time using the Q968 for a full club session as H3 takes like a...

Had a couple training sessions with the robot with the Q968. FH felt good as expected, nice arc. BH also reminded me of why I did BH training with the 968 series before. It really lets you know when you're not striking the ball right. The difference between the Q and W is that with the Q even...

Can't be 100% sure but I think that's the issue as well. His big motion means he needs to play farther back from the table, which is not great for today's game.

Yea that one's obvious. Long means Dragon, and the word for dance and the word for 5 in Chinese is pronounced the same (Wu). Both blades thus have the same spoken name, Long Wu, in Chinese.

It connects via Bluetooth, and it usually says offline until you click on it and then it tries to connect. At least that's the case with my Halo.

Long push to long push IMO is not super useful. If I'm pushing long I'm expecting to either be attacked or I'm attacking the next shot. I do a good number of opening loop practices with my training partner, where we serve short backspin and followed by a long push (but occasionally short just to...

Well, Tongtong isn't a choker, she just isn't quite as good as the ones who typically won. She just needs some luck, be on the top of her game while her opponent isn't quite at the top of theirs, and then play enough games and she can win one. She doesn't usually have the best land rate when...

Yes, that's my girl Tong Tong! Silenced that fangirl crowd so good LMAO!
