It's cheaper than a dignics 09:) ​​​​

Is that really an issue at higher levels? Maybe in lower leagues but at higher levels pips players are almost extinct. Shouldn't they maybe even allow stuff like frictionless pips to bring back some choppers? I always liked chopper VS looper matches in TV.

I think every blade can splinter if you don't seal it if the glue holds too strong. Seal your blade and it Should be fine, a layer of poly that you wipe off after letting it sink in for two minutes should do the job and not alter the blade too much.

It you want to go cheap and not Tacky you could try the Ak47 or the 729 focus snipe iii

I Iike your strokes. You could accelerate a bit more but it is good you focus on technique, you must have a pretty decent coach. Maybe you could get a bit lower with your legs, I know that is hard as you are super tall but it could maybe help with lower bouncing balls. But the foundation is...

Watch this video by ma long.Sometimes he does regular alternating backward steps but very often he jumps backwards with both feet in his Ready position. Sometimes when he is sideways he also will make side steps. He also gains initial distance at his serve by pivoting around his right rear leg...

Hi Linda, great that you found the sport, I hope you enjoy it

I wouldn't rule it out as it has happened in tennis too but I also feel that since the sets to 11 there are Generally more upset wins, especially in those tournaments who only go 3 sets to win.

Did LGL twiddle when he played or did he always use short pips on FH and inverted for RBP?

I think ni xialiang does twiddle. She doesn't hit BH but she uses long and short pips with a block and flat drive game and twiddles to confuse the opponent. She is 58 years old and recently reached the final of a Wtt tournament beating a pretty good Chinese player on the way to the final

Yeah I definitely think it could be better. Stationary camera, no commentary and best matches behind a pay wall. I'm not against paying for a good product but then I want live commentary and a dynamic camera and not just a Stationary web cam.

I think pros don't need controlled material, they train 30 hours a week so they can use fast material and learn to control it. But if you train 3 hours a week and you are not super talented you might need a more controlled and less powerful material. ​​​​​​ ​

Wasn't there something like that hard rubbers are a bit "dead" if you hit softly but very powerful when you are strong enough to compress the sponge with your hit? I read that softer rubbers give you more catapult when you hit softly than hard rubber because their spine easily, engages but when...

Get a coach who can correct your technique. Just by playing matches you will only improve so much if your technique is bad

What I have read is that soft rubbers give you more power if you don't have a very fast racket but hard rubbers give you more power if you have a very hard swing. So harder rubbers would work for fit and strong players with good technique while soft rubbers work better for beginners with bad...

Palio Ak47 is a bit grippy but non tacky. It is around 15 bucks and many here like it, I'm using the red version which is the hardest.

Are there any good Chinese true hybrids? I would prefer a true Bouncy sponge that plays without tuning and not a factory tuned sponge. Big dipper was mentioned but it also was mentioned it is factory tuned rather than a tensor like sponge.

Also the storing conditions play a role. If it was stored dark, medium to slightly cool temp (15-25 Celsius) and vacuum sealed it will hold quite long but if it was subject to sunlight (like in a shop window) and/or changing temperature it might age faster.

You also have to consider that Chinese rubbers are not just slower because of the sponge but also because the tacky sheet costs you some speed as the ball basically has to "rip loose" from the tacky rubber. You can test that pretty well on a tacky rubber, the ball will bounce higher with a...

Do world class penhold players like u xin ever twiddle?
