  1. Evolution EL-P

    Review by 'ProPetrov' on item 'Evolution EL-P'

    I'm using this rubber on my (penhold) reverse backhand. The spin is great, I can generate a lot of top-sidespin with a decent speed and a lot of control during blocking. The sponge has a medium hardness which fits in between the harder MX-P and the softer FX-P. Overall, I would recommend this...
  2. Hurricane 3 NEO

    Review by 'ProPetrov' on item 'Hurricane 3 NEO'

    This rubber is great. It's a chinese rubber, which means that is suited players that use the full arm swing doing forehand topspin. Awesome spin. The control is good but can be better. The speed of the rubber isn't very high, but boosting it is always an option. The topsheet is very tacky and...

    In Spain we have 2 penhold short pips players in the national team: Jesus Cantero He Zhi Wen

  4. Why is Japanese Penhold less popular these days?

    I don't think shakehand is a shortcut, because when I started playing, I was using both grips and penhold was easier and more confortable for me (only for me, all the club members were playing shakehand). I think the learning time depends on the training hours, the coach and talent of the...

  6. Why is Japanese Penhold less popular these days?

    In the USA or in Europe, there are almost no Jpen players, but in Korea and Japan is still popular, however, the new generations are switching to shakehand.

  7. Why is Japanese Penhold less popular these days?

    I have a friend that plays chinese penhold, and he told me the same: the chinese are not playing penhold anymore. I don't understand why, because as you said, if a c-pen player uses RPB it can be as effective as a shakehands. A Jpen player with long pips on the backhand? I've never heard that...

  8. Why is Japanese Penhold less popular these days?

    It's true that Jpen can't perform a backhand topspin, but if the player know how to use the footwork properly, it can hit almost always with the forehand. Like in this video: Of course, the best option for penholders these days is learning Chinese Penhold with the Reverse Backhand :)

  9. Why is Japanese Penhold less popular these days?

    These days 90% of the people play shakehand, 9% play Chinese penhold and less than 1% play Japanese penhold. I know that the backhand is a weakness of the Jpen style but Ryu Seung Min prove that if you have a good footwork it can be as effective as shakehand. IMO the strongest forehands in the...

  13. Small sweet spot on Tibhar Stratus Samsonov Carbon (Pen)

    I'm using this blade for 1 month and it's great, but the sweet spot is small. Do I need to buy a new blade or just get used to it? Thanks :)

  14. fan zhendong is using infinity, end speculations now

    Ignore the handle, just look at the core of the blade. It looks like a Viscaria to me

  15. fan zhendong is using infinity, end speculations now

    I think it's a Viscaria with Stiga handle.

    Tibhar Stratus Series and Butterfly Viscaria are cool :cool:
