Yep, there are good reasons why many people report that they like JRE (my son now plays with mine, but I like to hit with it occasionally). Be interested on hearing a further update after trying your new blades in anger. Cheers, LLS

That lovely feeling of dwell just as you hit the wall though ;)

Its quite amusing that pretty much the same conversation is being held in another ball sport (snooker). A well known coach's claim that good players can prolong the contact time between cue tip and ball and that that constitutes 'timing' is analyzed (debunked) by the channel author, with the aid...

Interesting... I was tossing up between the Yinhe 970xx-a and the Sanwei 75 inner alc (similar to my pro feeling that I really like). Sounds like the latter might be better based on your comments (its cheaper as well). Am also interested in the Sanwei Paramid, however there are not many comments...

Its more obnoxious than Tomokazu's cho le and almost as obnoxious as putting music over the top of a table tennis YouTube clip ;)

Some ideas based on my experience 1) Choose your opponent - lobbing is generally more effective against shorter opponents. I also like to use it against opponents that are blocker types and non-athletic types that don't have a strong smash. 2) Use variation - lobs can have topspin, sidespin and...

There is an underrated movie "The 13th Warrior" starring Antonio Banderas. One of the themes of that movie is the psychology of battle. There is an interesting scene "Battle for prince Wigliff" that you can find on Youtube. If you switch between the two service return strategies at the...

@Topspinslinger Nice blades If you don't mind... what did you like/prefer about the 970xx-a over the others? Cheers, AOA

In the Yuan Licen vs Alexis Lebrun match (avail on YT), Yuan tried this tactic to excess and was rewarded with yellow then red cards. Presumably this came about by applying a general rule of sportmanship at the discretion of the umpire? I would expect/hope that umpires at this level should be...

My thoughts exactly. I was tipped over the edge by someone describing a blade as crisp yesterday in the Aliexpress sale thread. And its Friday. "Just say crispy one more time. I dare you. I double dare you, mother #@*&%" (in my Samual L Jackson, Pulp Fiction voice) ;)

So I ordered a custom blade. I specified that it be fast, stiff and crispy. Here is what I received:

I agree with the comments above about it being a decent rubber that is good value for money. I do not use it myself, however do purchase it for my son who is learning to play and is quite hard on equipment. For that purpose it is glued to Sanwei Fextra, which is an unbeatable value combo imo. We...

10-8 behind in deciding game against Hirano and attacks the serve like that! ファイティングスピリット

Quite enjoyable to watch; I like her attacking spirit and also how she wears her heart on her sleeve when she misses.

Yes, stunning. Definitely like to hear a bit more about them once you've had a chance to play

Looks like one of SDC's spalted maple handles. Gorgeous

Hi @Spinsanity If you had to name a blade having similar attributes to this, but having more power capability, what would it be? Cheers, AOA

Hi TensorBackhand. Contrary to my pseudonym, I enjoy playing a wide variety of shots. With this blade I can play short spinny loops and control the path and length of the loop easily. It is also possible to hit clean winners from mid distance with a flatter path. The blade is very stable for...

Hi turbozed. I too would be keen to hear your thoughts on those blades. I play Yinhe Pro feeling and am interested in inner fibre blades; currently considering Sanwei Paramid.

Please no more polluting this forum or distracting this man from his important work! I miss the blade porn on this forum :( ...and have also contacted Sergio to order a blade And yes I want that cool asymmetric chamfer on the handle taper just like on the TSP Hino Carbon Power. And no, I don't...
