Why, oh why?

Pretty sure basketball balls are the ones you can buy in a store even in pro games. Or footballs. These analogies doesn't give anything. Tiger might be picky but John Daly was drunk all the time...

I think they do. Very much. But its just speculation of course. Mainly based on what people (myself included!)buy now. Way to fast and expensive equipment just becauce it is what the best players in the world use. I mean, people pay more for Fan Zs blade than a Viscaria (which from the start is...

Like Cybershapes, popular DHS-blades and a couple of relatively new Butterflies. It's a trend. We bitter old men with large hands and sore elbows have nowhere to go... The ALX Lite seems fine though. As long as its not light because of abnormally hollow handle.

Still makes no sense budiness wise. People will pay for what the pros have. And also - quite a few of players are on a level that is almost pro.

But why would they not sell it to the public? Makes no sense.

Old and long thread. Sorry for digging it up but… how is the balance of the ALX? Is it on the head heavy side or more to the handle? From what I’ve read the FL handle is pretty much like the Viscarias size wise. Perhaps not that head heavy then?

I find harder rubbers easier in the service, receive and the short game over all. But, since I’m a mere amateur, harder to make loopkills on underspin and such. The latter is the fun part of table tennis but winning is nice too….

I have a raquet with C1 one side and Glayzer the other. Similar thickness. Glayzer is much harder. Also clearly harder than Vega Europe as I recall. Glayzer is a product of current times; hard feel, extreme grip. Much more Dignics than Tenergy. And Vega Europe is more of a Tenergy-type rubber...

To me, this is exactly the wrong path. I'd rather have competitions without long pips.

Why benefit defenders?

Also interested in this. Is it just a rebranded 36.5?

Are there any differences in balance between the two?

Fan Zhendong is 28 years old. Not that much body deterioration just yet...

The biggest question is why the discontinued the handles for adult males a few years ago...

Perhaps different facrories, manufacturing sites or just different teams? Same specs, different people ordering raw materials and putting them together. Toyota-like manufacturing.

On his best days he might be the best ever. But he has lows ZJK, ML and FZD never had. FZD is probably still the best over all player. Really sad he is not competing internstionally. And perhaps not nationally either?

Surprised me as well. Only the Glayzer though. Not the G09c. And not very much. Another thing - one reason to by Butterfly rubbers over ESN os that they are usually lighter.

Footwork

Well.... the wave drives are probably better when it comes to stability and cushion. They are more expensive so perhaps better build quality as well. But if you want that close to the ground-as-light-as-possible feeling then the crossmatch are a better option.
