Using it since August. On bh since October

It depends on how you feel when you change those rubbers and how old your current ones. For example, I liked to change T05 about 1-1.5 weeks before important games, but if they are like 1.5 month old, then I didn't make any changes. Acuda s1 and hexer - 1-2 trainings before in case they are...

All practice starts either with coach or with partner willing to practice certain things. If you don't have somebody willing to practice (which is quite often seen at lower level, unfortunately), then I don't know how you can do it. Assuming you have somebody willing to practice, you need to...

Strokes you need depend on how you play now and how you want to play in the future. If you return loops to your bh consistantly enough either with block or drive (and you feel fine with returning them this way), then, on my opinion, flicks and short push seems to be more important, since they...

Well, it is hard to tell so it won't be short and with lots of probably unnecessary details. I ordered first MX-D in April 2021, glued it on my blade approximately in the middle of August, started using as bh rubber at the start of October. First impressions were that it was harder to get spin...

I used it for like 1.5 month on FH and now use it on BH for ~6 month

On my non professional opinion, women have it closer to drive, men depend on a distance: closer to the table, shorter and more drive-like movement, but still they add enough spin to get trajectory stable on that insane speed. Well generally it is a lot about racket angle which is defined by...

Basically, it is not strictly necessary (well, there is no strictly necessary thing in amateur sport, it is all up to you) if you have a block/hit/drive good enough to wait for either your opponent make a mistake or let you attack from FH side. It also depends on your style and how you want to...

It is a quite different stroke and you didn't practice it as much as opening loop against backspin, so obviously it won't be easy. So first thing to do - you need to include it into your regular practice. Then there are a lot of differences between one and another. For loop against loop you...

After replacing Tenergy 05 with a new one it was like: ~1 week a little bit too fast, 7 weeks nice and stable, 1 week too soft/mushy (but not too slow). Replacement So yes, fresh one used to feel faster than a 2-3 month old one ESN: Tibhar MX-P - first week also a little bit too fast, but not...

Let's assume that blade face is 100g, handle is 10 and pieces of wood around handle part which you actually contact with hand (not sure how to call them properly) are additional 10g. (numbers are absolutely random, just to show what I mean). Initial ratio is 100 : (10 + 10) = 100 : 20. Then we...

4 out of 5 rating for Wave Drive 6 Nice quality, durable, good grip it is all about this model. Also one of the few having big sizes (which was deciding factor for me). However I prefer heel part being higher (maybe I need a little bit more cushioning there too), this model is too flat for me...

I think 218 is already too heavy for hobbist, but that doesn't make you want to change your setup :) If new wood has the same density, then it might be even over 230. And it will shift weight to the head a little bit more so it make it feel even heavier. Only you can tell whether it is ok for...

My current setup is ~189g. A year ago I though that 185 is my maximum comfort weight. I used to be very sensitive to smallest weight change. Now I do some excercises to strengthen my arm and wrist and I think I can try something around 192-193, maybe up to 195g. Some time ago I wanted to try...

First set of women final was Ok, then 3 second of video, 7-10 second waiting for it...

Well, I'm not in the list of allowed commentators, I'm not a coach either, so feel free to delete my comment. Mivan, The first thing I would start to work with is footwork. It is very important (on my opinion). I didn't watch your video fully, just scrolled into different places, but I didn't...

I bought Timo Boll Spirit somewhere around 2002, it cost me around $60, that was including very nice discount. Official price was definitely less than $100, maybe $80 or something like that. Last time I saw it on en.butterfly.tt it was definitely around 120-130 euro (not quite sure, maybe even...

I used to play in addidas tt shoes for many-many years. They had quite thick sole. Then when I wear it out and there were no addidas table tennis models, I have bought mizuno model with not extremely but quite thin sole. I have got problem with my knees after 5-6 month which I could only solve...

Actually, I'm trying that and been pointed to that picture multiple times by my coach. So you are right. However the problem is that on first shots it is not that bad (still not enough as you noticed) but the longer I do, the slower my upper arm moves (due to too much tension in it) and after...
