STN3 (atleast the new one in purple packaging), LAC, Jupiter 3 Asia and Big Dipper can all be played just fine without boosting.

I’ve got close to 5k hours in CSGO and CS2 combined. But I don’t play as much now as I used to.

My guess on the big vs small venue is that bigger, modern venues usually have a HVAC system designed to keep the pressure inside slightly higher than on the outside, as it's easier to control the temperature in a large space when you don't have outside air leaking in to the venue. At least this...

Considering the price of a FZD ALC, I would make sure to actually test one before buying. It might feel like a divine revelation to you, but it might also feel like it's just another good blade. The Pro-01 is very good IMO.

Cool! What kind of price range are we talking about?

T05 is NOT what longle meant with his recommendation. Not remotely close. Try something like Mercury 2, BD 38, H3N 37 or Moon 12 M-

So I'm not misunderstanding you; you're getting Sanwei to make a custom blade for you? Do they have a service for this?

I was almost sure this was an attempt at trolling OP, but it actually worked! I made sure to test when nobody could see me though. Since we're discussing pitch and vibrations, do you think both blades in this video sounds OK? I have a slight feeling that the second blade have an issue, since...

So I got another example of a U2, because why the hell not, I'm a grown man (at least physically, probably not mentally) that makes his own money etc. etc. The first one in the video is the first I got, which I think sounds good, but the second one, I feel sounds a bit more muted or "muddy"...

Bad advice. In most lower level leagues the umpire is just another player who have to sit there as most of the matches don't have dedicated umpires. You will get away with a lot more disrespectful behavior than you should.

Wipe the ball with sweat. Call net when their serve is a bit too tricky (and decently low). Make sure to serve before your opponent is 100% ready.

Timber 5 Off is the fastest 5-ply all-wood I own. Stiff, but with a decently soft feeling thanks to the limba outer ply. Vibrations are minuscule. Very light, 80-83 g usually. Faster than TSPW, Offensive S and YEO, which I all have, and thus faster than a Korbel, which should be slightly slower...

If you’re willing to risk destroying the blade (worst case) I don’t see why you couldn’t. Most CPen blades have a slightly different blade face geometry than their shakehand counterparts though. I think the key here is figuring out a way to cut it cleanly without causing delamination.

Ok. Thank you all for your replies! To conclude, this change of weight is normal, and to discern if the sample is lighter than average, average or higher than average for the model of your blade, you should weigh it just after removing the plastic film and compare to the manufacturer’s...

Oh wow, that quickly? Did you take them straight out of the plastic covering before sealing?

@mocker88 do you have any input here? Being a retailer of Yinhe and general enthusiast of Chinese TT products :) (I was planning to buy it from your shop, but you didn't have it in your assortment..)

Lol thank you for your (potential) sacrifice

My scale have a tolerance of +/- .1 g. Its more specifically a coffee scale, not a kitchen scale per say. Ok, good to know! But I thought Korea would have a higher humidity than Greece..?

I’ve checked it - it gives correct readings..

I ordered a Yinhe U2 on Aliexpress. I wanted to get one slightly above the average weight, and asked for this from the seller. The stated average weight for this blade is 89 g, +/- 5 g. I received it, and after removing the plastic foil and included protective sheet, the blade weighed 91.1 g...
