  2. Butterfly innerforce ZLC for a player who has been playing for 7 years and is middle-aged???

    I have played with innerforce layer zlc for some time. My first carbon blade - it’s really good if you like to do spiny serves, and it has some sort of woody feeling. My consistency and power are increasing with this blade. I liked it a lot. It has a lot of vibration - so feedback is nice ( some...

    According to my polar heart rate monitor my record was about 3000 calories burned, for about 3,5-4 hour session. That’s funny - it’s grown man amount of calories for a day. When I do a big volume of high intensity trainings - my injuries became not so friendly to me. So I always try to check...

    I do a lot of moving exercises like multi ball to different spots, backhand forehand transitions, random drills etc.. thats with a coach. I do multi ball on a robot also, under my coach guidance, with respectable amount of balls per minute. I usually start from about 45-50 balls per minute to...
  6. Light racket from Butterfly

    Timo Ball caf is light weighted 5 ply blade (3 wood + 2 control assist fiber) with some kind of viscaria feeling, this blades are usually weight about 80 gram or so. With two d09c in max total weight should be about 180 gram if you pick 1,9 thickness weight should be even lower than that
  7. Saudi Smash 2024

    Many pro players can do this pendulum/reverse pendulum starting from one motion. Even I can do that, and I’m not even a pro. Reverse pendulum is the hardest serve but it can be very effective against a lot of players. For some reason, people are struggling to read the spin more often with...
  8. Fitness Workout for Table Tennis

    This is true. Ma Long has pretty solid upper body, Wang Liqin also, and not only them. Plus we must consider amount of a calories that pro players are burning during long hours and hours of their tt training, so became Baki anime kinda physique is just impossible with such a schedule - and...
  9. Fitness Workout for Table Tennis

    You cant even play a sport without "having muscles in arms" btw. And if top players dont look like a fitness models it doesnt mean that they dont train those "muscles in the arms", a lot of people, i would say most people that are casually going to the gym looks like regular people, but they...
  10. Fitness Workout for Table Tennis

    Lol it’s actually the opposite about the muscle, you should train upper body as well, not only legs. Just you main focus shouldn’t be the same as the regular bodybuilder doing. Table tennis requires some explosive strength, and it’s good for you muscle ( upper and lower body ) to be well...

    Had a training today. Played a few sets with Viscaria SALC - here some highlights And Revoldia after that
  12. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I stick to BTY Revoldia for now, it’s pretty fast blade. I would say 5% slower than FZD alc. It has some fiber in it, but not carbon. Definitely better for me than pure wood, and since I didn’t play as much as I used to - I find it suits me. SALC is good also but has lower throw and long...
  13. Rakza Z to Tenergy 19 for BH?

    It’s okay to have different opinion or felling on the rubber. I have only played with hybrids mostly, I use d05 and d80 also for a pretty long time as a backhand rubber - this is bouncy and fast rubbers for me too, but still better than t19 or t05. People who plays for a decade with t05 didn’t...
  14. How much training and how to train to become a professional?

    It’s actually better to have a group of people almost in any sports. Combat sport, team sport, table tennis, etc. If your goal to became a stronger player overall. Yes, some personal training is good, if you don’t have fundamentals - it’s very good. But when you have those - the more important...
  15. Ovtcharov ALC

    It is much more lighter and overall weight balance is more balanced than with two d09c. But again some one is like when blade is head heavy, i dont really mind it too.
  16. Ovtcharov ALC

    It is really good. Actually I keep it like that for now. I came from some break from tt. This blade is thick and quick and has power on its own, plus I have power too. So for me, extra hardness and speed of dignics for now is not needed.
  17. Ovtcharov ALC

    I have played Ovtcharov alc with two d09c and also sieger pk50, and g09c forehand + glayzer backhand - with two d09c it is pretty head heavy but I don’t mind it, and overall feeling is on harder side more. I never tried cybershape so can’t compare both. Overall feeling - it’s a good blade, I’m...
  18. How were pendulum serves returned, before the backhand Flip was more established?

    It depends on what spin on the ball, and the amount of it. If it downspin the easiest way is just to push with quality to different parts of the table, just make it variable - short push if possible, long, etc. If it is heavy side spin you can push too, but you need to touch right side of the...
  19. Standard-Modern-Two Wing Looping-3rd Ball attackers without anything special!

    Welcome to the reality of the sport, it’s not a blockbuster popcorn movie, where everything and everyone had unique personalities and unique strategies. Pro players came for the win and the paycheck and that’s it. So they do what it should be done for a win. And the reality is no matter how...
  20. How well do stuor/lemuria clones compare to the real versions and how good is their quality/longevity?

    The truth is those are totally different blades, they just have that "bla bla clone" tag, but in reality they have absolutely different feeling and other playing characteristics. But they can be good, or reasonably good for the price etc, and you can playing tt with them - thats most important...
