11-6 Chen!

I'm not sure having someone whose reached the top of their game (Top 50-60 WRL) is going to make any difference. It'll only re enforce what has already been said. The OP wanted advice due to the tournament he has coming up in November. He's stated that he has struggled (from the sounds of...

I think that will be the case for top top clubs and the very few top level players - But outside of that, it's open season on what people buy. But my point still stands - People at the top don't use H3 - They use H3N, which as far as we are aware, is significantly different, and incredibly hard...

Haha - I won't quote the comment, cause it would be too long - But I do appreciate the Octopus at the end! lol. I am absolutely generalising about "CNT play style" - I can't possibly go into the specifics one each individual play style of the players themselves. Although the "general" play...

I don’t know what level you play at, so it’s hard to gauge your opinion. I’ll try and clarify my point previously, without just repeating myself. I play at the highest league level in the UK - I can count on one hand, the number of people that use H3. If Dima/Timo think it’s better, why...

I disagree with this. By your theory, all the top players would be using H3N (I know the arguments that once they get to the top, they can't change etc etc). People talk about the technique required, and sure, if @sam alender wants to play like Ma Long, then he should stick with H3, and...

Switch back. I’ve never seen you play, but I play at a decent level in the UK, and there aren’t many people who have the footwork to play consistently well with H3. There will be a big transition from Euro to H3, so if you do want to stick with it, you’ll need to give it more time. But I...

Update: Had a couple of matches last night. Here are my takeaways. The VSU allows you to be super aggressive on your punch blocks and short attack strokes from close to the table. It's quick, but it's not too quick if you have good technique. Away from the table it's fantastic - If you give...

I haven’t hit with the Freitas ALC, but from what I’ve read, the VSU is a little quicker. I’m not sure it would be noticeable though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol - I'm not disputing that, and I'm not trying to say TTD is bad at all. I've met Dan and Tom, and they are both great guys doing fantastic things for the forum. It was simply a question for the other forum members who are apart of the other forums as well :)

Haha - OK, now I understand why you said that :) I'm not doubting there are some great posters on here - It's always been my favourite TT forum. But in general, when I look at the threads, I can see there isn't as much participation as there used to be. Just wondered if people had slowly...

Not sure if you've misunderstood my tone or question. People have always posted on multiple forums (certainly the "main" posters). I was simply asking if there was another forum which has become the "main" discussion type forum (and the only 2 I can think of, were OOAK and MYTT).

I haven't been on as much over the last 6 months or so, and the amount of discussion seems to have dropped quite a bit across the whole forum. Is there another forum where more discussion happens (OOAK or MYTT?)

i think MX-S and T05 are incredibly interchangeable if you are a half decent player. Difficult for for me to compare as they are on completely different blades. I certainly think the VSU blade has a fantastic first impression.

Just a quick update for anyone interested. I had my first hit with the VSU last night, and I was very impressed. Comfort was excellent - If you like Butterly straight handle blades, it is almost identical. The "feel" was increased no end vs my previous Garaydia/T05 set up - Obviously the...

OK - The Freitas blade is a good option - It won't be far away from all the Butterfly ALC type blades. I would absolutely test out H3 though - It's a world away from T05, and you will probably (at a guess), absolutely hate it. As a an English junior, I wouldn't get caught up in the H3 hype -...

Just taken delivery of it! Really impressed with the build quality - Usually I find Butterfly to be a touch above here, but this VS Unlimited is absolutely on par with them. It doesn't have the same sense of "premium" feeling that the Garaydia did, but I've never felt a blade quite like that...

Hi Joe, What level do you play at mate?

I'm not sure you understand exactly what I'm saying. But recommending long pips, because a junior can't return a serve, is terrible advice (sorry to say!) If you only care about winning at a very low level, then sure, put whatever rubbers you want on. But if you actually care about developing...

My comment was half a joke, and half serious. I don't think sticking long pips on to cover a technical deficiency is the right thing to do. It immediately limits your ability to progress and effectively shoe horns you into one style of play. If you developed a decent back hand, and then...
