  1. How to take care of rubbers?

    Whatever you do, I don’t recommend sticky films, it turns even tacky rubbers to non-tacky rubber. But as a thumb rule, less air, (less sun light), means less degradation. Just putting to bag is enough, if you want you can put in plastic cover of rubber or similar plastic bag etc.
  2. WTT Cup Finals 2022

    I'm trying to say, FZD ALC is not new equipment at all. Yes, there could be a placebo effect but I assume pro's don't mind it. All players have downs and ups, some could be related with equipment but not the case for FZD IMO. Knee injury > frustration > too much training + tournament >...
  3. Hurricane WCQ blade?

    It looks like DHS will follow BTY's way, same blade, different name for each star 😅 Or maybe it is just a small gesture to WCQ from DHS.
  4. WTT Cup Finals 2022

    I don't think so, FZD ALC is a mere clone of Viscaria, he has been using the Viscaria for a long time even under Stiga Sponsorship he has been used the Viscaria with Stiga Infinity handle. So I think even what he ate in breakfast is more effective than his blade. I suppose his knee injury or...
  5. WTT Cup Finals 2022

    LGY vs Timo match was good, but LGY missed good opportunity. If he was at peak performance in this tournament, we could be watching all Chinese semi-finals. By the way in this tournament Timo haven't give 10 points gift like previous one, he might be tight on budget 😄
  6. WTT Cup Finals 2022

    Sure, It's just my guesses. Truls vs Hugo - Even though Hugo is more experienced and could be better but Truls has a good rythm and now WR. 3, I think he will push as much as he can. By the way betting site's gives favor to Hugo. As I know their first match head to head. Chuang vs Dima - I think...
  7. WTT Cup Finals 2022

    My guesses are above. 🤞 By the way, draw seemed very similar to MACAO. And I hope Harimoto plays well like in Team Finals Chengdu, cuz his matches looks quite exiting.
  8. WTT Champions Macao 2022

    Currently Day 1 sessions are hidden (unlisted) from WTT's Youtube Channel (probably due to editing etc) However they are accessible if you have a link from stream, I'm leaving here for anyone who missed.
  9. World Teams: Team Sticky Inner Limba vs Team ESN Outer Koto

    Increase in popularity of 968 could be related about sponsorship, as I know there is no well known outer carbon from DHS (301 is inner carbon - koto outer, rare combination) Chinese players might be get granted by dhs, in case of retirement of ma long. Since butterfly has many ambassador in...
  10. The best height for a male table tennis player

    I mean bending by both knee and lower back not just leaning forward with shoulders. FZD's knee bend is not disadvantage, is advantage. With straight legs, keeping body balance is not easy while swinging your arm with full force. Being able to swing racket to ball is not enough. 10cm is still too...
  11. The best height for a male table tennis player

    I think 15 cm is too much, even that makes different sport like table badminton / volleyball. Bending gives flexibility, control and power. So even increasing 2 cm would decrease pace of game a lot also for taller players. We may see that difference in women games, especially over table. In my...
  12. Crispest Blade you have used

    Old primorac carbon
  13. Be honest guys: you don't need carbon blades

    h301 is not the hardest or most stiff blade, but it is definitely at hard of side of spectrum due to koto outer surface. Also T version may not fast and stiff like X but still would be harder to use it comparing to original. but any way, all wood is great option if you have issues with carbon...
  14. Which blade for my rubber?

    All these blades are kind of different types, it might be better to get help if you write what properties you are looking for. edit: I've not notice that you own all these blades. so you can try with these order whether they work or not IMO definitely first -> Offensive S if too fast for you...
  15. Serve & receive contribute 50% of your game

    I'm not coach or pro player but potential reasons could be these: 0- Assessing player's skills on basic strokes are easier and faster than assessing from serves, so up to certain level if a player have no shine of star/pro player, may not worth for investment for class coaches etc. 1- Isolated...
  16. Should I leave rubber in plastic seal?

    It could be also subjective matter but even the top players like Ma Long, FZD, ZJK are twiddling their rackets for using backend rubber (BTY T/D) while smashing. probably their hurricane 3's are faster or equal than anyone can get and also clearly their level is higher than anyone's in this...
  17. Blades

    +1 Also I think every blade we tried lowers the chance of finding "perfect" blade for us on contrary to find perfect because they have minor/major things we like and dislike. Maybe It could be said that ignorance is bliss.
  18. Blades

    you are welcome, of course it depends on the change for example: difference between 5 ply soft blade (senso) and 5 + 2 hard blade (tb alc) is more noticeable than changing rubbers in similar specs hurricane neo 3 vs hurricane 2 or rakza 7 vs rakza soft or rasanter 45 to 48 or different sponge...
  19. Blades

    As simply, there are 6 types of blade used generally which are listed below: -5 ply all wood soft -> ex: acoustic, bty korbel - 5 ply all wood hard -> ex: yasaka extra offensive, rosewood 5 - 7 ply all wood soft -> ex: clipper, long 3, samsanov force pro - 7 ply all wood hard -> ex: rosewood 7...
  20. Advice on a new $200 racket build?

    Firstly, you should not call yourself as ‘noob’. You are just untrained. Although video guides are great. Coaching is better because of quick response to wrong movements etc. Also after a short while you will start to beat your buddy then your progress will stuck. Training by coach then...
