I have a couple sheets of 388D-2. What is the main difference between 388D-1 and 388D-2?

TT11. I emailed them and Dmitry said they will get it in 2-3 weeks. He just emailed me back last night. I then asked if we need to reserve it or it is first-come-first serve, but I have not gotten a response yet. I think Spinfactory, you can do pre-order but the price is like 187 Euro or...

If you want to add weight, the easiest way is to add grip tape to the handle. If you want the bat to be more head heavy, put a couple or a few layers of side tapes? I know that pro's are particular with their side tapes. Some put a layer of side tape round the bat but some only put side tape...

I watched the last two sets (well only one set and 2 points because he got defaulted after being down 0-2 in the fifth). He was called repeatedly for his toss. I don't see anything wrong with his toss. He tossed it up and hit the ball on the way down. Yes you can complain that the height is not...

Franziska innerforce zlc is an interesting blade. At lower speed, it acts like all wood blade. At higher speed, it acts like a carbon blade. It took me about a month to get used to that. I kept on pushing the ball into the net in the beginning (because it is slower than outer carbon at slow...

Sorry to ask. Have you tried Franziska Innerforce ZLC Blade? I know you have tried 100+ blades but I gotta ask. I tried various inner carbon blades including Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC Blade (I know Ovtcharov is pretty popular but I find it a bit too fast and too hard compared to Franziska), DHS...

I remember in another thread that someone reminded me that Prott, which is located in Hong Kong, is pretty much the same as shipping from China. Just treat any shipment coming from Hong Kong the same as any shipment coming from China. I am also waiting to buy a couple player's editions H3 blue...

I might be the fourth person or fifth person who suggest C-1? I used both G-1 and C-1 before. They are different. G-1, the sponge is harder. C-1 feels much softer and has a bit more catapult than G-1. My favorite set-up for a while was G-1 on 5-play or 7-ply wood on the backhand side but C-1 on...

Who is going to be there in Vegas? (I meant TTD forum members who are spectators; I don't mean about the players).

If you want tacky, linear rubbers, then yes, most Chinese rubbers would do it. But some of them (like AK 47) is not tacky at all. Cheap cheap: Sanwei Target National orange sponge or Yinhe Mercury II (Mercury is one of the most tacky Chinese rubber on the market). Cheap: Hurricane 3 orange...

I concur, Vega X is pretty cheap already. I have tried various chinese rubbers on my backhand including Yinhe Mercury II, AK 47 blue (I think blue is 38-40 degree sponge; I have never tried red or yellow), Palio CJ 8000, Rxton I, Rxton III, Rxton V, Rxton IX, Sanwei Target National and...

Matt, do you read Chinese? I don't know if you used Google translate to help you, but your response in English is spot on!!! :)

Gambler makes good blades. Their rubbers, I don't like at all. Their blades can go from very slow to very fast so quite a range to select from. Gambler Pure 7 is one of the best all wood blade.

Getting back on the topic. I just noticed that tickets for the sessions include main session (i.e. table 1) and side sessions (i.e. table 2-4). For tables 2-4, the ticket is just general admission. For table 1, you select a particular seat. I am leaning tables 2-4 so I can watch more players in...

I think the discussion has been all over the place. One time we are talking about 200 point difference. Another time we are talking about 250 point difference. For me, I know my ratings because it is pretty solid by now. I am very confident I can beat players rated 200 points below me 19 out...

To be fair, this is TB's thread so he can carry the conversation to whatever direction he wants. Plus kudos to TB for uploading a practice match he had with Victor. I think the issues are, every day in clubs, people talk about their ratings and often talk about their "peak" ratings. What is...

I think one side is arguing about 1800 beating 2000 in casual club friendly matches while the other side is arguing about 1800 beating 2000 in real USATT sanctioned tournaments. Most people don't put a lot of emphasis on 1800 beating 2000 in casual club friendly environment because there is a...

I had the same exact problem: trying to glue a heavily boosted and curled up hurricane onto a laquered blade is almost impossible. Personally, I would not laquer my blade. Nothing is more frustrating when after you boost the rubber, wait for it curl down a bit, put two layers of glue on both...

You really want to sell it?

I guess the tariffs cure the EJ inside of me! :)
