Frequency of my blade was 1320, so it is probably even faster than yours.

In my experience butterfly shoes are shit. Just buy Li-Ning or Mizunos, this guys actually know how to make good shoes. I'm using Li-nings subbrand Way of Wade 808 4 ultra and absolutely love them. I'm on a heavier side(83 kg), but more muscles than fat, so i want to have some cushion, and...

I also went from Dynasty to inner carbon blade, for me the biggest downside of Dynasty is backhand. It's hard to engage carbon close to the table, so shots become a bit unpredictable depending power of the stroke, but from mid distance it has less power than N301. So even with outer carbon it...

But he said that he used H3 BS nat, and he compared them directly and Kuai Man has much less tack. He was talking only about newer hurricanes. What are you talking about?

My N301 is National version and has Hao 1 handle instead of commercial 301 handles as on provincial(at least to my knowledge). Weight on the box - 83,5. Setup weights exactly 180 gr. My forehand rubber is Hurricane player edition Wang Chuqin. It was a pain in the ass to mechanically soften it...

About 6 months ago I transitioned to penhold and was in the process of finding the blade that I would fall in love with. About three weeks ago I got my N301 and oh my god. It’s probably the most fun I had playing table tennis. It’s one of the most underrated blades on the market. Also it is one...

Then try something in between - H301. It has hard koto top play as viscaria, but is inner composite and in general playes more like Long than Visc. Also H301 is great quality for the money, but lacquering is a must, really brittle top ply.

i would probably buy some slow inner-composite type of blade. I think this is the best way to understand - do you need composite and more speed, or you need woody feeling and control. A lot of people who I talked to quickly switched their all-wood blades for something faster with composite.

I had an Acoustic and absolutely hated it. 10/10 times would prefer something with Koto top ply, like Hao 1 if we talk only about all-wood blades. But even among limba top ply blades for me Acoustic was bad. I consider Acoustic vastly overrated blade, but a lot of people love it, so we can't...

Also i got my N301 and it is really interesting blade. Do you want a review from me? There is not much information about this blade, so buying it was a bit of a gamble, but I absolutely love it.

I don't think this statement is universally correct. I can be true in your penhold grip, but in mine it is exactly the opposite. When i use RPB my angle is extremely closed, much more than my shakehand backhand stroke. So i use a lot of fast wrist movement when close to the table and wide...

I think we should show our most sincere respect and appreciation to the true Man of Culture. Unfathomably based

It's like it was with Harimoto. Felix started growing as a top athlete. You can not play with mentality of young Harimoto or Felix forever. Now he is playing with more variety, learning to decide, when to play safe and when go all in. It's really hard to obtain that skill. Fearlesness can get...

It's particularly interesting in context that both you and me transition from shakehand to penhold. At least if I remember correctly. I always loved hard and flexible blades, and in penhold they feel even better than shakehand. My theory is that softer limba top ply gives better vibration in...

I think there are two main type of players 1) Limba top ply fans 2) Koto top ply fans I played with Nittaku Acoustic and for me it was absolutely uncontrolable. It just shot the ball on it's own, both in short game and topspins, especially backhand. My first blade was viscaria and i still...

So i build new racket DHS N301 National(83,5 gr, 5,87 mm), FH: DHS Hurricane player edition Wang Chuqin, BH: Butterfly Dignics 05 CNT Build is 179 gr, it's 21 gr lighter than my dynasty, so i'm really interested to try this out I started playing Cpen not long ago but fall in love with the...

In comparison sponge + topsheet it can be close, topsheet on 09c is softer, so sponge and topsheet can balance each other out and give close numbers. I was talking purely about sponge hardness. I think topsheet elasticity really affects "ease of engage", so we probably need more measurments...

Yes, this is correct. But hardness is not directly correlated with "ease of engage". I played with 09c on backhand for 1,5 years and for shakehand i absolutely love it on BH. You can easily engage the sponge just by playing more direct stroke with fast wrist engage, more in the ball, not...

Look at Wang Hao, the King of backhand from any position, the predecessor to Shidong and Zhendong game structure. I think it is more about precision, with HIS RPB style you need to be more precise with your stroke due to a bit more closed racket angle. RPB can be both played with really open...

Oh, thank you, now i understand. So about this usecase. It is great but would completely destroy my game structure. I have power, so i play a bit away from the table, making shots from both wings. Chop blocks are a lot easier with TPB, but they need a lot of things around them to be...
