I dont see why china would de-emphasize it when they get plenty of olympic medals from it. It's also one of the most played sports in china which means it's easier to get the talented pool of players

Not saying that OP is a CNT worshipper but I do agree that such "chinese" vs "european" play style isn't something worth considering in the first place seriously. Most people are too focused with professional players and their advanced technique when most people (with some exceptions) in this...

10/10 Btw, do you know any practice place in north Jakarta or any coach in the area?

The easiest options are to either buy one or to try it. Viscaria is an extremely popular blade, you shouldn't have a problem finding someone who owns one and then try it. As someone who tried both M.Maze and TBS, even though they are different blades, the difference is pretty small. I wouldn't...

I don't think you need a rubber any faster than Tenergy 05 on FH unless you smack the ball and not looping it

Defender as in chopper or blocker? It could be that you're not used to a fast rubber like tenergy or you're not giving it enough brushing motion

Funny you say FH dominant style is more effective and then mentioning ZJK because ZJK probably has one of the most stable and consistent backhand in the world

If tenergy 05 is just OK, everything else is meh or bad. What part of it is it that you don't like?

Did you happen to play in northfield competition last saturday?

I believe rasant turbo is not super hard at 45-47.5 degree hardness. If you like hard, fast rubbers, try evolution mx-p

He's slightly underrated because he doesnt really get to play players on his level in minnesota. He's the 2nd best player actively in MN and the only one who could beat him is a 2400/2450 ish player I've dealt with people with faster loops but his spins are just nasty. He's switching from TB W7...

I take it the 2239 guy's name is Kris Sabas (white guy, blonde hair, trimmed beard)?

For me, the 2-3 days before tournament are extremely important and exhausting practice should be avoided. However, I would suggest you to still play everyday to make sure you still get all the muscle memory on the day of the match. If you're someone under 2000, chances are you wont have a lot...

Your question is very vague in the first place. What's the budget, what's your blade, what's your BH play style. Generally people ask something like this because they're trying to save money. otherwise, just go T05/T05 or T05/T80

Equipment in general does affect how much spin you'll be generating but for the equipments to matter in the first place, you need a sufficient technique / stroke to generate spin. This is a general problem i notice with a lot of beginners or even people around my level (USATT 1400-1500). They...

Another rubber that I could recommend easily for you is Tibhar Evolution EL-P. Good speed, good control, good spin and it's easy to use

I feel like in general table tennis world, stiga is the brand to go for all-wood while BTY is for carbon

He's stepping down from an alc + tenergy setup. I think vega pro with 5 ply limba wood would already be a pretty significant step down in terms of speed for him

I'm not exactly sure about vega europe with 1.8 sponge as I used the 2.0 before and it bottoms out super fast. How about using the rakza from your tb alc?
