This is based on subjective feelings so any comments or opinions welcome 😃 In relation to grippy type rubbers with which I have more experience. For me Butterfly’s Spring Sponge has a feeling of vibration/reverberation spreading across the whole bat face from the ball impact point (like...

Xiom HAL (Hugo’s blade) should be around the speed you are looking for. It is softer and more woodier feeling compared to Boll ALC seeing there is no carbon weave - just arylate.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/63502926 It’s a long read but interesting article nonetheless about the rise of pickleball and padel. Here’s hoping ITTF understands *SPIN* being the key differentiator in table tennis and taking care to move our sport forward accordingly - keeping all types of...

Anti is extremely strong vs pushblockers provided you have good point finishing power on inverted side. Anti players can boss where and when spin is introduced during the rally.

Against your wisdom I’ve thought about it abit further… efficiency can be achieved by a camel bak type device that can divert the salty counter booster juice down an arm autobahn. The points will be short and oh so horrifyingly disgusting.

Mental gymnastics: could you in theory reject an instruction to wipe an obvious sweat spot off on the grounds of not wanting to chemically change the topsheet?

Hope the AI is a patient one and doesn’t learn over time how trash we all compared to the CNT. “Congratulations user, from the 6 hours tournament matches uploaded I’ve determined there’s nothing of worth to be reviewed. Please play better. Goodbye” 😰

The common advice here when members switch over to new equipment is to give it sufficient time to completely familiarise oneself. By his standards he has been missing easy shots which we rarely saw when he was using Golden Vis and Infinity “Vis”PS prior to that. Anyone else notice he was...

Was discussed in this thread https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?28227-DHS-HL5-and-W968-catalogue-description Basically player edition (PE) models not available to the general public. Similar to how shoe manufacturers release PE’s for star NBA players under contract: - Air...

So keeping with the spirit of this forum, will FZD be changing out of FZD ALC? As winning or losing is obviously based on 90% equipment choice, 5% training/coaching/talent/mental, 10-15% booster.

Very nice 👍 very stable now with your anti. By the way what is your final verdict on Cybershape and anti? Specifically the inner carbon, larger headsize and overall stiffness if it works or not vs your current setup. More detail you can provide the better 😀

Pot meets kettle?

For me quite there’s quite a saturation of live sports vying for my attention - NBA season just kicked off, there’s the EPL, Formula 1, tonight I checked out the T20 Cricket World Cup. I also like to stay up to date with current world affairs like the Ukraine War, the potential outbreak of...

Damn here I was thinking OP was brokenball and mellowed out… Yes Rakza 7 is easiest to begin with and relatively cheap, plus the majority of members here are familiar with it so can advise on your next journey if x characteristic of whatever from R7 is needed.

You can actually start training for nets by having a partner serve from a bucket of balls, eventually there will be a let service that you’ll be able to observe the change of trajectory and spin deviation. The best ones are pure sidespin serves as they drop over the side and you can attempt...

If the ball is moving at any sort of velocity or spin it would usually divert out of bounds after hitting the net. I actually embrace the challenge of returning nets as it shows your skills of anticipation and body/mind coordination. Nets usually occur in the short game where there is...

Just don’t play with a net then. Or go off and invent your own game - pickle ball is one of the fastest growing racket sports

Indicative of how far behind Donic really is in the manufacture game. They are now just a straight copycat - what’s worse, a bad one at that, being years behind the other copycats in well, copying... It’s sad, I remember a time when they had a presence in each major blade category: Offensive...

Passive or punch blocking has been almost phased out at the highest levels. This particular shot is where hinoki shines though requires a ball that does not lose speed/velocity as dramatically as this plastic ball seems to. A counterloop adding more topspin is much higher quality - a shot the...

Go to OOAK forum, all the information you require is there. And don’t be lazy, spend at least a couple of hours reading through the threads.
