  1. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    it depends a lot on the player, look at Kim Kum Yong, destroyed everyone at the asian championship. Usually pips player have some weakness they cover with their pips, but for Sabine I believe it's different ! Very good fh, less good backside bh compared to the best but still way better than the...
  2. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    being able to twiddle is one of the key to success. Opponent won't be able to use the usual strategy one loop one push because he will get attacked the second he pushes back the ball.
  3. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    Well, he uses his anti close to perfection. If Sabine can master it the same way as Luka, I can see definitely her becoming a top 25 player, but maybe I'm too optimistic ? Luka with only his glanti has been able to beat some top players like Calderano, CCY, Omar Assar...
  4. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    Well, I think it's different with Amelie, Amelie has really an indian playstyle, disruptive short pip on forehand and glanti on the backhand it is at the extreme. On the other hand Sabine has a proper forehand and bakchand technique. Maybe I'm in denial but for me the situation seems a bit...
  5. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    anti rubber or normal rubber ? It seems really serious indeed, she had a talk with Carlos Muhlbach who plays with glanti too in 2nd bundesliga despite the fact that Muhlbach was the coach of the opposing team.
  6. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    Very interesting move indeed. As you can see, most of the material player close to the table doesn't have a powerful forehand nor backhand. But Winter, coming from a very aggressive playstyle won't rely as much as them on the anti. I believe it will open up more options and adds more...

    I tried yesterday Z2 special on my forehand, comparing to a Fastarc G1, it is bouncier but not necessarily faster nor spinnier. Good feel nonetheless. I really liked the fact you can brush super thinly the ball but you can do that with Fastarc G1 too.

    Anyone still playing with this rubber ? Seems like most of the guy who were praising this rubbers changed for something else

    b2 gold is better than b2 nat ? But I want to try B2 nat xD
  10. Blade for double short pips

    maybe it's just because you have a not lively chinese shortpips that probably need boosting ? Chinese shortpips tend to be dead, I prefer esn shortpips like Vo102, it was an incredible combo with my 1 ply
  11. Yuto Muramatsu to Tibhar?

    Are you sure ? From his recent game I can't recognize the Goriki Danshi and even worse he added a grip to the handle of his blade.

  13. Friendship 729 Battle 2 National vs Friendship 729 Battle 3

    translation: Table Tennis Racket Rubber Cover - National Team Special Edition No need for additional boosting glue The blue sponge of this rubber has excellent elasticity, providing a very clear hitting sensation and significantly increased ball speed. The tacky surface makes control easier...

    any info on the new blue packaging B2 nat bs ?
  15. Rubber recommendations to replace Friendship 729 Battle 2 National B.S

    I can't agree more, it's the same when you are doing a slow topspin serve. Ball will tend to jump and accelerate a lot when doing its second bounce and the opponent will hit the ball with the edge of his racket. It happens because the initial speed of the serve is quite slow and you can...

    Tested B3 tonight on an outer super zlc blade. Boosted heavily with 2 layers of Comet (I had to boost it with thick layers because the sponge absorbs the booster too fast). What a blast ! Nuclear topspin, I was a wall in the blocking department and was still able to do dropshot, short pushes...
  17. Xiom Tau II

    I know in the coton industry it is not uncommon for a tissue to be discontinued forever, I can imagine being the same with some chemical component in table tennis
  18. Xiom Tau II

    I don't know, there was the trend of hybrid rubbers, advertising them as tacky like a chinese rubber but they were at most only a little tacky (can lift the ball for less than a half sec), why they didn't put as much tack as the Tau 2 then ?
  19. Xiom Tau II

    I hope so. It's mysterious, Tau 2 was and is still the tackiest rubber produced in Germany, and even Xiom has failed to maintain the tackiness on newer rubbers (Omega China, J&H....) Is it because they don't want to be this tacky anymore or because the material isn't available anymore and will...
