  1. Which blade I choose?

    Just for completeness, princett.com has the CS version which I think is penhold, see the pictures. I do see that the E3-VB is no longer on Yinhe's web site so maybe it is becoming a collector's item :-)
  2. Which blade I choose?

    There is a big difference between a "allround" 5-ply blade with limba top like the Yinhe E3-VB, or the "offensive" 7-ply Sanwei Fextra or Yinhe 437 or 537 Purple Dragon. With 6 months of serious playing I would stay with an allround 5-ply blade, I found the E3-VB a very good choice to learn...
  3. All+/Off- blades with Hinoki top veneers and inner/outer composition layers

    Among the Yinhe/Galaxy T- series, the T-7 is the most controlled one (3 wood / 2 ALC). Plays very nicely but the flared version is currently out of stock at princett.com (link). From Sanwei the HC Speed Light is a Hinoki outer / innerforce blade (5 wood / 2 ALC), see link and review - in...

  7. playing with short pips

    For me it was definitely worth going to short pips backhand. First, I didn't have a good backhand topspin. Second, I wanted to stay at the table due to my age when playing with folks 40 years younger. Third, I can use the less spin-sensitive short pips to return serves and to "roll" weak pushes...
  8. playing with short pips

    Mattias Falck just twiddles to be able to use the high spin rubber on the forehand for the serve, and then go back to having the high spin rubber on the backhand. I think most attacking players who do short pips backhand don't twiddle. Also, with the spinny short pips I can do pretty good...

  14. Which short pips for middle distance and can short pips broke?

    @MOG another tidbit from the Yinhe Sun review at https://revspin.net/rubber/yinhe-galaxy-sun.html: "Non-tacky Galaxy rubbers compared: - Galaxy Moon, High throw, offensive rubber, comparable with Butterfly Tenergy 05! - Galaxy Sun, Lower throw, close to table attack, comparable with Butterfly...
  15. Which short pips for middle distance and can short pips broke?

    @MOG: I started with Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft, then I went to Rakza 7 (all 2mm), with Rakza PO backhand (also 2mm). Then I switched to Nittaku FastArc-G1 and Nittaku Moristo SP (max thickness). FastArc-G1 creates a little more spin but not dramatically more. I found that Moristo SP is a little less...

My baseline forehand is Nittaku FastArc G1 max, I've also played with Yasaka Rakza (Soft), DHS Hurricane 3 Neo, and Yinhe Sun...

    Yinhe: http://www.princett.com/EN/USD/product/Galaxy-970xxA-Table-Tennis-Blade-5-wood-2-ALCinner-force-371.html The Koto top layer is thin and a little brittle so I recommend to varnish it before glueing the rubbers on.

    Yinhe Pro-5W is $29 at princett, see: http://mytabletennis.net/forum/some-new-2015-yinhe-blades_topic73121.html Another option is the LOKI Arthur K3 Table Tennis Blade (5 ply pure wood )for $27.50. I always varnish the blades with 3 coatings of polyurethane coating after sanding, e.g. WalMart...
  19. Can a late starter become a quality veteran player?

    To clarify, I know the main programming paradigms already (from Pascal, Lisp, Perl, Python, C, C++, bash, ...) and use pattern matching to put the new language/pattern in the correct bucket. I agree you need to learn the paradigms first. So I'd say for a complete beginner a good coach is a...
  20. Can a late starter become a quality veteran player?

    So first I would say that adults do not learn better than kids, they learn differently. Also in my experience it does get more difficult to learn new movements with increasing age. I approached this challenge (for table tennis & piano & programming) and found the following: * As a kid you learn...
