How long have you been playing with this setup?

Show us how you play in the Safe Thread.

I mostly agree with other people in this thread. My controversial opinion is that thin 7 ply + semi-worn MXP/ELP combo is fine for people that are being actively coached.

It matters, but in reverse sense that what general consensus here is. More often than not, too fast equipment will harm your progress.

So, just to be sure, you have those two rubbers, and you are asking us how do they compare? What are your feelings about them? Have you tried playing FX-D on BH and MX-D on FH? Any chance on showing some game footage?

MX-D is harder to play by much. You need to play a fair bit harder. It is easier to play thin contact with Tenergy 05. For my stroke Tenergy has much higher trajectory. With flat hits it was easier to have good speed with MX-D.

I have 3 total. 2 I made myself for free (out of garbage in the garage :p). There is also thread about it anyone thinks its interesting. In mid June I will be able to play again with a robot. Can't wait until that happens :p (provided that the Joola Infinity will work for once).

If I remember correctly he was using Tibhar Samsonov Blue for long time, should be able to also buy that one for cheap on used market.

Hmm. You sound a bit like MOG. I think you might want to start of where he left. I've never played anti so I do not want to comment, but If I remember correctly stiffer better for anti and pips. There is a bunch of forum members more qualified to elaborate. I would start with thin 7 ply. Cheap...

Would it be possible if: - you shared a video of you playing? You mentioned championships have ended for you, maybe by chance you have some league footage? - say how old are you? - do you struggle with accelerating the racket in the timeframe you have to make the stroke? - say what exactly...

I actually asked, because I didn't know.

I usually do 8 exercises combined from these 3 videos.

One of the other things I want to mention is that it is really important to set the height of this tool correctly. I usually use my electric desk and then verify height with tape.

Yeah. It does not solve most crucial thing in the stroke, namely timing. I currently use it for: - keeping my brushing contact (due to my health issues I cannot train as much as I want) - practicing dry footwork (previously I was just shadow swinging now I use this, I am buying a second one...

I know you are asking from player perspective, but maybe this article will be useful. https://ttgearlab.com/2023/04/04/stiga-cybershape-series-lab-test/ Apart from lab test, there are also playing impressions.

Hmm interesting. Shipping ~10€ Base price 28,55€ Vat 23% import tax 3% --------------- 36€ + shipping Still acceptable price. Provided the tax office won't force you to go through import company which is 25€ service... Might just be good enough I organize some sort of group buy.

Are you by chance from EU? I remember there are additional taxes on imports from Japan. One of my friends has a club mate from Japan, maybe he will carry this for me since he often flies.

I bought similar tool to what is used in this video. I don't want to share link, because I don't want this post to be treated as advertisement. I even made similar one from scrap, you can also go that way if you want. The tool on Ali costs 10-20$ so I think anyone can afford it. I've been doing...

I don't want to be mean, toxic or any other negative thing. But that is the greatest and most constructive advice you can get in world of table tennis. That being said. Instead of "go train" one should "go evaluate your own weaknesses, train to minimise them, repeat". Quality coaching has...
