  1. Tenergy 05 vs. DNA Platinum M???

    Tenergy is just a superior rubber.
  2. Your Favorite Inner Carbon Blade - SURVEY

    The best inner I have ever tried is Joola Aruna OFF, by a landslide.
  3. A. Lebrun's blade

    Does anyone know the head size of Alexis' signature blade? Merci beaucoup :cool: I really hope that AL's blade has normal head size - 150x157. SK was my favorite Tibhar blade out of bunch I have tried but the larger head was a deal-breaker for me...
  4. A. Lebrun's blade

    2 Lebruns :cool:
  5. A. Lebrun's blade

    These photos are really badly photoshoped and they do look like IKEA designed them. Alexis' blade looks much better in the screenshots above.
  6. A. Lebrun's blade

    Yep, he used to use Tibhar Shang Kun Hybrid AC. Now I think he is getting a signature blade from Tibhar with a very nice French flag colored handle? I am just surprised that Tibhar mgmt is so quiet about it (IF my assumption is correct)
  7. A. Lebrun's blade

    What blade is this? I apologize if this has already been discussed.
  8. WTT Macao 2023

    No pressure? Wow. He felt so much pressure but he showed what he is made of. Actually, my favorite player choked a few times. Kudos to Lebrun.
  9. Blades with Carbon (ALC) for someone with strong BH

    Top choice and my setup.... needless to say 🙂 Please share your impressions here...
  10. Blades with Carbon (ALC) for someone with strong BH

    Backhand is also my strong/er side. I would definitely recommend a blade with standard head size - 150x157. I've never liked blades with bigger head sizes for bh. Without further ado, please read my review :cool: The link is under my nickname...
  11. WTT Macao 2023

    His face told the whole story. He went from a fearless man with a plan to a man with doubts. Just look at the last few points and you'll see. Dima was patient, stayed in the game somehow and won. What a masterclass from Dima.

    Hi, I had a chance to play with LGYALC. It was ok but I didn't like the softness I felt. As a result, I had the feeling that the blade was not linear. That's another thing I really like about blades and rubbers - linear response. It also felt kind of mushy and muted for ALC standards. I like...
  14. Is it the right approach to try to return every backspin serve with a backhand flick?

    I think you answered your own question. Statistics do not lie in this case. Probability before possibility. You definitely need to improve your push game. Backhand flip is super-hard to master. One of the most important aspects of table tennis is shot selection. Your shot selection has become a...

    I have tried more blades and rubbers than I am willing to admit. When we talk Butterfly, I tried all ALC blades, a few ZLC and ZLF, one super ALC and one super ZLC. I also had the opportunity to play with Tenergy rubbers, namely T05, T80, T64, T19 and T25. Now I play with Dignics 05 on both...
  16. Carbon/Composite Blade with an All Wood Feel

    Joola Aruna OFF Truly a masterpiece.
  17. Are vibrations a good thing or a bad thing

    Personally, I do not like vibrations transferred to my hand/wrist. I like vibe-free blades. Some people call it feedback. No feedback for me, thanks :-)
  18. Help Dimitrij Ovtcharov ALC: ¿Fake or Real?

    Authentic 100%. BTW, It is the lightest I have seen. They are usually 90-92g due to increased thickness and bigger head size.
  19. Technique advice for me

    Take a look at Liam Pitchford bh. Now that is a super loose wrist that creates tons of action and pace on the ball. I like to watch his backhand execution on youtube at 0.25 speed. You can see much better what is going on and learn. His bh really is a thing of beauty. I also recommend Liang...
  20. Technique advice for me

    Engage your wrist more. Relax at the point of contact. Be loose, like hitting with a lasso. You look really stiff at times and that kills the pace and quality of your shots.
