That is a hard no. W968 cannot be HL5x, that is a different structure (it would have a different number), also the X version of the DHS blades are for players who lack hitting power. The X versions are not intended for pros. Don't misunderstand they are very good too, but the thicker core is...

If you insist in tacky Chinese rubbers like Hurricane, then probably your best bet is H3-50 35 or 37 degree. Coming off of Rakza 7 soft you're better off with the softer 35 degree version. Alternatively you can try something like Joola Rhyzen Fire, or Bluegrip S2 or S1. Going for a H3 Neo or H8...

There might be a translation error here, my point was SALC is harder than ALC, but a thinner blade with SALC could be softer than a thicker blade with ALC.

Lol thanks! Now that I tried the smith machine it's good, but I had to wait for it, and after finishing myself I was thinking if it was worth the wait or not. There are some very lonely dumbbells so I will do that next time, there are adjustable angle benches. Gym is a funny place, before I...

Yesterday I did weight training to my arm, one pulling and one pushing exercise. Just being moderate in both. Actually I am disappointed in myself if I have to be honest. For pulling I just did the cable row machine, if that is its name with 50kg, and I did like 70 reps, like 10x7 splits...

There was this Japanese guy who did bounce and spin, and release angle comparisons with a specific rig. He has a few comparisons between popular rubbers vs Butterfly rubbers. It's quite interesting, too bad he doesn't post any videos for a long time now.

Which Stiga glue? The attach power or the blond glue?

Thanks guys, these are some good advices. @Wrighty67 Regarding jumping I'm pretty good, I used to play volleyball and I have high elevation. And I do a lot of rope skipping, which is beneficial for timing, rhythm and also cardio AF. I like to do double turns in serial and after I just do random...

If you feel your backhand is lacking with T05 switching to D80 will not help. Tenergy is easier to use, you should be thinking about Tenergy 19 or FX versions of Tenergy or something else that is easier to use and not Dignics. There are German easy-to-use rubbers such as Tibhar Aurus Select...

I think we shouldn't dwell on it too much.

Recently I have started to go to the gym before my regular table tennis training, which is not ideal but I have free time like this. So far from the 3 occasions I have been at the gym I only trained for my legs and core muscles. My goal is not to build muscle mass, just to get more explosive...

1, What pip? The ball and blade must compress to some degree. If there were rubbers of course it would compress. 2, Is this a trick question? If nothing is deforming then of course nothing is bending. But then the deacceleration is instantaneous. But blades do flex and deform, but the degree...

1, sure, the ball's contact area will change as it deforms, but you are assuming there is a rubber. Why does there need to be a rubber? Are you saying I cannot look at this problem without a rubber? Why? 2, If there is no rubber it doesn't penetrate it, can we agree? 3, Well you said assumptions...

Well I tried my Rakza Z EH on FH. I have to say I find the Dingtian to be more fun to use. But Rakza Z works so well with the Joola Flash ball and it's less bouncy in touch play. I'm torn now since it's so fun to use the Dingtian with this blade, but Rakza Z will probably give me more wins. I...

Well if I assume that the deacceleration time is 0.01s, then it would be 2.7N. So basically the lower the deacceleration time the ball has with the racket the larger the impact force will be. In this case the ball and racket contact time or their elasticity will influence the impact force...

I agree Viscaria has a sharper feeling, and it is stiffer too. But a stiffer blade is more predictable. I don't think one or the other is better for any play level, they just suit a little different playstyle. It's another question if it's worth to buy any of them for beginner or intermediate...

I think they are for different playstyles. If you seek to attack everything as soon as possible and you live from your own strength then W968 is better suited. If you have more of a passive, blocking, countering style on top of the table then Viscaria would be better. Of course you can use both...

I myself would take a boosted H3 BS over any ESN hybrid or D09c. But against unboosted orange H3N the ESN hybrids are better (much better). Boosted H3N orange was good too, not sure if better than Rakza Z EH or Bluegrip C2.

Why do you say he would disagree between rubbers that try to imitate boosted H3N BS over H3N unboosted? I'm certain he could do this with Dynaryz ZGR or similar rubbers as well.

No, I was asking about tempered glass. You are doing the comparing. You are not providing any proof of your claim. But as far as I know, rubbers are vulcanized which is also a heat treatment. I don't have ESN's recipe, do you? However there are rubbers mainly Chinese-made where the rubber...
