Photino is probably one of the most popular hinoki blade but personally I wouldn't use such thing unless you are above 1800. Hinoki isn't exactly the best composition for looping as well. It's more intended for flat hits. Apolonia ZLC and Innerforce ZLC are the same blades, just generally...

I think playing people above your level is always one of the best ways to improve and learn new things. You watch how these players do their serves, flip balls and do certain things previously you don't quite understand. You're playing the sport in perhaps the best place there is. The sky is...

I think T05 in general lasts slightly longer compared to MX-P but the damn nice thing about tenergy is how you don't notice the grip loosen up slightly over time until you realize you need to change it.

A question for people who are good with quick, straight, dead ball or slight top spin serve: I've been trying to do my own version of ML's of down the line quick serve but I've been hitting the net or going over the table a lot. What i still don't quite get is where should I try to get the ball...

What you are saying or typed above just sounds like a complete bullshit. If you are just trying to play this sports for fun, go ahead by all means keep playing the way you've been playing but if you are trying to improve, stop talking and doing things like sidespin pendulum serve, backhand...

My suggestion is to get a hurricane 3 and boost it, glue it along with tenergy 05 to viscaria. Voila, ZJK setup. Hurricane 3 is so damn good boosted. The rubber feels alive and it's really easy to create spin

I like how infinity VPS feels but if you put it has hollow handle and hence it will be head heavy. If you want stiga blade, I recommend going with offensive classic, offensive CR or maybe that new celero wood they are going to release. The celero should be released pretty soon so I would hold a...

I actually find a boosted hurricane 3 to be more forgiving compared to Tenergy 05 on looping. It might be because of my stroke mechanics of how I just rip the ball up with a lot of arm acceleration (a bit like quadri aruna on the arm movement). By all means archo, please post it I'm sure a...

I find the theory of table tennis to be extemely difficult and deep but once you master how to do it in practice, it becomes really simple since it becomes a part of your reflex. Personally, I just sneer everytime archo tries to say smart things about players who are far better than him and...

That's a very good price for tenergy. Like reaper said, if you want to use tenergy, it might be a one way street for you. A lot of people cant use anything else after getting spring sponge addiction

Why spend 44 bucks on some cheap stuffs when you could just grab a single high quality product? You couldve bought an ESN rubber with that money

I don't know what kind of BS this is but you apparently can't watch the stream from US. Switch to VPN on canada server and you can. Any solution other than paying for monthly VPN?

Knowing just how unpopular table tennis is in the country, I can't guess just how good top 10 is in his club How's the new setup?

I'm guessing he likes T64, but tenergy is too expensive for him. Omega IV pro is actually pretty good. It's slightly harder and slower than T64 but I do enjoy using it.

Yes, I just shopped there a month ago

Just boost the hurricane. I just boosted mine, strap them on 93g TBS with boosted old T05 (so it's basically like ML's old setup) and now I understand why european players complain about boosted hurricane 3 blue sponge.

There are too many assumptions and perhaps some fanboy-ism in this thread. Just like what NL said, tenergy is indeed an easier rubber to use compared to hurricane but it doesnt mean you dont need a good footwork for tenergy. Bear in mind the hurricane those CNT players use are boosted...

This. Really disappointed with mizutani's withdrawal. Could've been his big chance to win a world cup

Playing against dead rubbers. As someone who likes to put a lot of spin on the ball, dead rubbers is just cheating

Had a practice session with my college club today and the person in charge of coaching pointed to me that I need to bring my body more forward and be more on my toes. This is one of those nice things that you get when you have a coach that watches over your drill. There's also a new 2600 guy in...
