That Sanwe's blade is gorgeous.

I had never had a real coach. I picked up the game blindly, bought myself a dunlop racket, played here and there everywhere. Picked up some techniques from different people. Worked it out by watching Zhang Jike and Ma Long. Threw myself into more tournament and sparring. Got wrecked everywhere...

G09C is good already for that purpose. G1, Vega China, D05, Tenergy, are good with Koto all wood blade. It's more than fast enough to trouble intermediate opponents and can outright end the point if you are able to vary the placement. This is coming from someone who used to use Loki V5 and...

Go with Koto. 5 ply with outer Koto is good to finish the point as long as your placement is good, and blocking is still good with Koto.

I do have Moonbeam Fl but no box and it definitely has been used very good hahaha

It's good. Allwood blade either in the OFF-/ All+ range is great when you paste high performance rubber on it. You maximize the spin production in exchange for speed and power. I'd even suggest you to get a 5 ply all wood and paste DO9C or GO9C on it. The combo is very forgiving, easy to...

There's no way your rubber will slip if you actually have a good contact with the ball. Slipping like that happen only when you brush it too thinly or you misshit the ball.

Try using it for 5 months and then switch back to Viscaria again. I would say after 5 months of AcB, you'll appreciate the feel of Viscaria even more. Most of the time, when we get new equipment, we love it because it's a new shiny toy. After the excitement wears off down, you'll miss the...

You only do no spin serve in practice?

The serve already drives audience away anyway. Audience wants to see rally and what kind of rally can be done when it's all deceptive serve and third ball attack? Serve like Samsonov should be a mandatory for every player and give a harsh penalty for those who don't comply. Imagine how nice the...

The rule should be clear that "every player has to serve like Samsonov's high toss serve". No hiding the ball behind your head, free hand, or body.

Yes, getting a blade is like getting a box of chocolate, lol. Dignics 09C and 05 are really worth the price.

Yup, I used it with vega europe and unboosted polestar-s. Backhand was awesome with koto and outer alc. It is as good as it could get, but the spruce and inner klc is different. I feel like it's not powerful enough or not as powerful as the koto alc side. It could be because I'm not used to...

Brush the ball slightly and drive or flick it.

It feels the blade doesn't bite the ball as well as limba inner carbon. Even Hinoki carbon is better than Koto inner carbon. Used H301 with provincial OS 40 for forehand and ELP for backhand. Strangely enough, I love koto with outer carbon; viscaria, pro 01, tb alc, v14 pro. Those blades bite...

It's gorgeous but I've learned from my mistake. Inner carbon with Koto blade doesn't make sense for me. Koto should always be played with outer. lol

Yesterday I tried my friend's Viscaria, it's good but it's not as good as my brother's Pro 01. It feels as if Viscaria is lacking in power compared to Pro 01 despite the price difference is like day and night. Funnily enough, I have an old V14 pro and my brother just recently bought a new V14...

Pro 05 is a beast if you are a forehand oriented looper/ powerlooper like me. It gives strong and powerful powerloop with massive amount of spin. Can't say much about F3 Pro since I have never had one but I did play with Paramid and honestly, Pro 05 is slower on lower gear but better when you...

Well, that's how I usually play against this kind of player. In what way it becomes difficult?

It's actually easier to deal with these guys than with LP choppers unless they "treated" the LP. All you need to do is serve light backspin to the LP which will give you a weak return that you can end easily.
