    Got a video of your BH serve? that would help loads!!
  2. If you can gain one attribute of Ma Long . . . .

    Mental Strength. In my opinion this is the deciding factor in many close matches, CNT players, in general seem to have the ability to close out really close games more often than not.
  3. H8-80 37 degree

    Review by 'IB66' on item 'H8-80 37 degree'

    H8-80 37 degree version. Used by many as a BH rubber, but the 37 degree version shouldn’t be considered ‘ONLY’ a BH rubber. For many people this would be a good FH rubber as well. In the right hands this rubber is capable of high spin levels. Serves are very spinny. Speed is not fast but it has...
  4. Rakza Z and Rakza Z Extra Hard vs Golden Tango PS and Golden Tango

    Hi NL, I have played with both of these rubbers, GT a while ago now, it was the 1st 'hybrid' that I used. SPIN - all have high spin potential. TACKINESS, when new RZ / RZ EH are similar to GT, but I think GT retains its tackiness levels better than RZ / RZ EH THROW ANGLE - RZ highest, then RZ...
  5. Why are top players sometimes hitting a forehand with the left foot in the air?

    During the movement sequence, a specific part of the movement can be delayed slightly, by fractions of a second, this causes additional stretch, and the result is recoil, some additional energy is gained as the body ‘snaps‘ back.

  7. Hybrid rubbers (Euro/Jap - Chinese)

    DHS H8-80 is good in both 37 and 38 degree versions. Rakza Z, and Rakza Z EH are one of my favourites. (higher price range) Xiom Jekyll and Hyde H 52.5 (the hybrid version of Jekyll & Hyde series), only available from Asian market, never seen it available in UK (but could be wrong!!) Possibly in...

    Hey Takkyu, Stick with it, this game we love is a tough nut to crack!! So simple yet so complicated!!! Both technically, physically and mentally!! FRUSTRATING Big time!! I’m a big believer in the more you put in the more you will get out. There has been a few threads where people have talked...

    Hi Vadym, great seeing you yesterday. Reinhard is the fella I played last, and by this time I was just wanting to get home!!! Tbh my attitude was pretty poor, disinterested, angry and moody. Ref should have shown me red!! All day I had trouble concentrating properly, which is strange because I...

    GT is an under rated rubber, should be on any EJ's list as a rubber to try!! I used it in the past (un-boosted), GT PS version is better for those who like more catapult / bounciness (but same tacky topsheet.) Jekyll and Hyde H variant is akin to Bluegrip C1/C2, DNA dragon grip, G09C etc. Xiom...

    Tourney yesterday was disappointing to say the least!! played 6, won 1, lost 5. During knock-up was playing OK, felt ready to go. 1st match was against a player with pips on his BH, I played like a beginner!!! mentally my head wasn't with it!! Didn't play to my strengths, found it real hard to...

    Hi Blahness, How old are you? you've been a forum member since 2010, if you were 10yrs old when you signed up, that puts you at about 23yrs old, virtually a VETERAN!!!!! It's a shame that many older people you have encountered have a poor attitude etc, they should be trying to get juniors and...

    Had an issue with the Hexer Grip on the BH, Played last Friday, no issues, took the bat out on Tuesday's coaching session to find some small bubbles had appeared, about 15 of them. My brain doesn't like equipment issues!!!!! Which in reality these bubbles were in a position where they were...

  18. How much $ do you spend on coaching?

    Hell, you made me choke up a ham and turkey sub I was munching into during lunch, I was laughing so much!!!
  19. How much $ do you spend on coaching?

    Hey TB just get a coach, perhaps you should become a CJ (coach junkie)!!!! you can start writing reviews on their style etc and instead of stagnating your game, actually improve faster. EJing may be fun but it doesn't cut it when it comes to personal performance, BUT it's really whatever floats...

    I think out of all the sessions,, we did multi ball ONCE!!! for 30mins. I actually enjoy multi ball routines!! perhaps we could do a little more of that. I'd enjoy feeding balls to Tom!!!!!!
