I strongly agree with this. Even though it's harder, you'll be able to get much meaner returns if you learn how to deal spinny balls with reactive rubbers. Besides, how spinny a rubber is directly translate to how reactive a rubber is to spin. Tenergy 05 is basically that. It's the easiest...

I'm not someone who believes you'll play much better all of a sudden because you switched blade. Your loops can be faster but your consistency depends on your own swings. Just go with a blade that you feel comfortable using. A blade like TBS has good speed, large sweet spot and like a lot of...

Ofc it does, just how many hours do you think professionals put into their serve practice trying to get the ball as low as you can get to the net

Gotta hold back my inner EJ!!! Do you know just how hard it is not to press buy on MJ Super ZLC and 4 sheets of Tenergy 05?!?!

I know that baal switched to Donic OTC because of the round ST handle which makes sense to me for why he switched. But if the OP is looking for a "cheaper" blade than TBS that plays like TBS, why really bother in the first place You can use blades for years and years, spending an extra $50 IMO...

I don't really get why some people are looking for alternatives when the real one isn't completely un-affordable. Ovtcharov true carbon is $90-95. You can get a TBS for $135 or TB ALC for $150 or you can get the used ones for $90-100. The difference is around $45 to almost nothing, so why try...

Faster setup, although this only applies when you are already really good Putting your body into the swing Quick arm acceleration and snapping

The increase in net height will be one of the most stupid thing they could do right now. Why not change the size of the table and shrink it by 3 cm as well. Changing the game in such a fundamental way destroys the overall competitive play. They could say it's for the sake of longer rally but...

This really describes how a low backspin serve will feel like if you do it correctly. The serve should be a total brush, with the paddle angle as open as possible. Archo, watch Brett's serving video and you'll see that a good short serve doesn't use arm movement at all, it's all in the wrist. I...

Donic ovtcharov true carbon. Baal who owns 4 or more viscaria has been using this blade lately. Personally, I prefer TB ALC over viscaria. Not because of how they'll play differently and all that, but IMO TB ALC FL handle is just much more comfortable

I don't have any but I can suggest you where to look. For Japanese, look at tt-japan, they sell the jersey but they don't have the sponsor + country stamp on it. For china, look at li-ning's shop. They are selling the 2012 & 2016 olympic jersey and the super league jersey

Spring sponge addicition too strong. I ended up getting a T05 for BH myself since it just feels too nice

Putting another opinion based on this comment. You dont really need to seal it. I've never sealed any of my blade and they have been fine with the exception of my MJ Super ZLC that splintered on the edges (of all the blades that would splinter, it happened to the most expensive one i've had)...

A physical activity where people can compete against each other. Only people in countries where table tennis isn't popular have brain cell that's broken enough to say table tennis isn't a sport

Dan, Just how fast can Aruna loop those balls with his FH? :p

HL 5 is an inner carbon type of blade. It also uses limba outerply. TB ALC on the other hand is your conventional carbon blade with koto top ply. Both are great blades, used or being used by a lot of professionals. Blade like HL 5 will be harder to get used to if you've never used similar...

Beware of using hurricane 3, if you are not someone with good footwork, using the rubber is extremely hard. In general I also prefer just to use the max sponge thickness. Most rubbers are designed with max thickness sponge in mind. If you are going to say that the max sponge thickness is too...

Those people who say 'thank you' when you miss a serve deserves a special place in hell. If you are going to give hand signal for 'sorry' or ' i got lucky there' I'd appreaciate it but otherwise you might as well just shut up and do nothing. People's opinions differ but to me saying 'thank you'...

I don't really understand why people say your previous setup is unbalanced unless you are a beginner to the game. I really like how YEO plays close to the table, so if you like the blade you could just get another YEO. For the rubber, you could probably go with something like Evolution MX-P...

I'm not even on the school team as all of them are better than me :D So you've known Pu already? Where did you meet him?
