  1. Ultimate battle between Viscaria and W968

    I really like FZD and LGY (which is a bit harder/faster) but keen to try Golden Viscaria
  2. Ultimate battle between Viscaria and W968

    Don’t tempt me, that’s not fair…
  3. chen chen legit

    Chen is great - bought my last blade from him and couldn’t be happier - a really decent bloke.
  4. Ultimate battle between Viscaria and W968

    Interesting debate, I’ve gone from using Viscaria/FZD/LGY to provincial W968 and now back to the FZD. Ultimately it was a combination of handle comfort, balance and enjoying the slightly crisper feel and linearity of the outer blades vs the slightly dampened feel of the 968. No doubt the 968 is...

    Apologies- my mistake!
  8. Alse’r allround blades

    I played with an Alter for 10 years as a junior - still around somewhere but I can't find it (I had Yasaka Tornado and Nittaku carbon soft on it - both in orange!!)

  10. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    Did you see the vid I posted on the other thread about BH - it was my first real focus on BH loop vs under? Here it is in case;
  11. DHS W968 review

    I am sure you are correct in your summary... Mine is a 2019 large handle that was purchased new a month back - weight is 91g and thickness is 6.02. Keep in touch! (You can never own too many blades..)
  12. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    Love it - I thought you played super well in this match! Fantastic forehand play and real aggressive intentional/pro-active approach to the match - if he didn't keep it low, you attacked it. Despite my comment on the other match re mobility, it looked much better to me in this one - you move...
  13. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    Well done - good match. A few thoughts from my side; 1. Serves looking good 2. FH looking even better! 3. You struggled with his pips - lots of balls sent way off the table when you misread them when you might have just rolled over those balls and moved onto the attack 4. Footwork - I see me...
  14. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    That's the plan - the reality is that when faced with these pushes I tense up and lose confidence so need to really force myself to jump back, get low and swing freely to get the lift followed by the spin to bring the ball down - it's a shot I love (Ma Long's is my model BH loop) and so I am...
  15. DHS W968 review

    Hi W968 team - I thought I would circle back having played with mine for a month now and clocked some hours. Long story short, I found myself reaching for my Viscaria and Lin G blades that I still have sitting in my office, and immediately felt drawn to play with them again - maybe it's the...
  16. How Did I Win or Lose a Match?

    Hey LDM - thanks for the support. I am back and fully engaged. I had a great 2h with my coach - watching the videos was painful. His main comment was - the player who plays with me is not the same player in those matches! One of my biggest issues is tightening up and reverting to poorly...
  17. Weight training in the gym to improve explosiveness

    Cable row is a good machine - back primarily but will also work biceps. Smith machine is safe but I would go for grabbing two dumbbells (go for 8-10kg or less) and get used to pressing with these on a flat and incline bench. 20kg on a bar for a smith press is plenty - 40kg is a lot to start...
