  1. Butterfly Zyre 03

    If Dima uses 2 zyre rubbers (sorry, I don't remember whether he switched on both sides or not) then against: zyre + antispin > zyre + zyre. Removing zyre from each side results in Antispin > zyre If it is one zyre and one dignics, then it is ad against dignics
  2. table tennis variables

    Yes, different tables feels different. Some might need some time to adjust. But, rubber, blade, glue, shoes, sometimes balls, etc. are things that you have influence on. Tables are usually out of your control. You just play on tables that are available at location where you decided to play...
  3. Butterfly Zyre 03

    Part 2. I had a tournament tonight. It is interesting, but I played exactly as I must. In 95% of tournaments I lose to someone weaker than me,it is like some weird habit, I just must do it. In 10% I win against somebody I shouldn't. But I almost never play exactly as I'm supposed to. Rubber...
  4. Butterfly Zyre 03

    I didn't touch Butterfly rubbers for 15 years, but finally I tried Zyre 03 today for the first time for 1 hour, mostly multiball and 3 sets at the end. Obviously, it is too early to make final conclusions, but I can't wait 3-6 month before writing about it here :) Setup: Viscaria SALC, Zyre 03...
  5. How do you know when to upgrade your material?

    @Gozo Calderano , I think you forgot that playing style also matters, i.e. "ball keep coming back" is not a problem for a defender And how could you forget about the main reason: "when butterfly releases a new rubber"? ;)
  6. Butterfly Zyre 03

    But why are you playing with Zyre03 and not with Rasenter EC if you know about it?
  7. Anders Lind accusing ITTF

    I might be wrong, but as far as I remember host nation is one of top seeded in football, and there might be more than one host (well, they also have problem, that host nation usually loses some ranking due to not playing qualification matches and it is hard to estimate their real ranking)
  8. Logos/engravings/plastic on the handle - do you have use it BH or FH?

    Butterfly blades (at least some of them) have logo on one side and a small round transparent thing on another like this: And if I place logo on the BH side, I have this round thing on the FH side not covered by my hand. And lights sometimes refracts/reflects from it, when I perform bh loop and...
  9. Does anyone try K3 pro?

    My impressions about K3 Pro durability: 1. First 2 weeks it is very cool, I'm in love with the feeling and power and spin and everything 2. Then 2-3 weeks it is still fast but a little bit less, still incredible for me 3. Then 2-3 weeks it gets hard for me, hard to lift underspin balls, easy to...
  10. Tibhar Evolution low throw angle?

    Evolution series is not limited with those two, others might have different throw angle Are you talking about MXP or about MXP 50? From what I heard MXP 50 has lower throw angle than ordinary one. Regarding personal experience, MXD was rather low as for my FH, had to keep in mind this on every...
  11. Do you practice pushing?

    It might not be that boring if both of you agree to play a few sets just pushing. The desire to win could make it a lot more interesting.
  12. Very fast FZD ALC 1540 Hz, issue ?

    When I measured my TB ALC it was 1564 in most points, and got 1612 once, 1540 doesn't look like being too fast :)
  13. Why not add more lines on the ball?

    I wonder whether adding lines to tt ball (or something else that would help to see actual spin) could cause stroboscopic effect when viewing it on tv/youtube. If yes, then it could make it even worse for a viewer, since spin you see will contradict with player strokes.
  14. What helped you get better at backhand rallying?

    Answering the question, it was combination of 5-6 training videos. I doubt that I'll find them now, but they were: some Chinese guy talking about triangle when making backhand Shmyrev talking on some master class about where head of the racket must point Zhang Jike saying that he prefers side...
  15. Is a Butterfly Super ALC more controllable than an ALC blade?

    Short story long :) I used to play with Timo Boll Spirit for the most of my table tennis life. And I really liked it, but when it mostly died, I bought TB ALC as a substitution. It felt harder and maybe somewhat faster, I lost some feel, but I thought that it is due to long period without...
  16. How long does the TIBHAR k3 hybrid last??

    It all depends on how you play and how you train. I train 3 hours of mostly multiball drills + 1-2 competition once in a month. I would say it might be equal to 4 hours per week, but I suppose that I hit pretty hard and all rubbers usually die quite fast. K3 is approximately 1 week feels quite...
  17. Currently not approved anymore rubbers?

    You can always check it on ittf website. And yes, they are valid:
  18. How often should a very attacking Japanese penhold player change their rubber

    You should change it when you feel that it performs differently and you are losing too much points because of either inconsistency or unusual performance, if you have money for it. For example, with k3, it is definitely good for 3-4 month for me (3 trainings/week + occssional tournaments), but...
  19. Mizuno sizing

    My feet are 297-298mm and I used to buy shoes with 305-310 size (to have some space for thick socks and a little bit more). But in case of mizuno their size 300 is perfect for me. So I suggest you to measure your feet in mm and then choose size based on it.
