  1. Soft Tensor Rubber in Rasanter series, Gewo brand and Victas brand

    I have only really used Butterfly, Xiom, and Gewo products so it is hard for me to speak about other ones. However, I can recommend the Gewo Nexxus EL 43 for you as I use the 48 version myself and am extremely satisfied with it's playing characteristics. Although, I am not quiet sure how soft...
  2. Rasanter R42 & R45 alternatives

    Gewo Nexxus EL 45 SuperSelect or Nexxus EL Pro 43 are both great alternatives.
  3. Butterfly 05fx alternatives

    Gewo Nexxus EL Pro 43 but if it is too hard there is also the 38 degree version.
  4. Advice to improve my game.

    This small suggestion goes a long way, but once you hit the ball you freeze and stop moving. Always keep moving. This way you will be more proactive and be ready for whatever is coming next.
  5. Producing side underspin on the chiquita

    Only twice today actually. And he asked me about it so I answered 🤷‍♂️
  6. Producing side underspin on the chiquita

    The top sheet is very durable. I have just glued a new sheet on but the last one lasted 3 months (I play a lot and even coach with them). There was maybe 1 minor tear which is from me hitting the table, otherwise 0 broken peices or rips. Because these rubbers were made to combat the new plastic...
  7. Finding the perfect rubber for your game

    Yep, it suggested the exact same and rubbers I would never choose.
  8. Producing side underspin on the chiquita

    Hey NextLevel, You guessed right. This is my tenergy 05 alternative and may even claim it is better in all aspects. Although it is not 1:1 identical, 48 is slightly harder than T05. I would say T05 feels more like 46.5/47. I personally do not like hard rubbers as they don't suit my gamestyle. I...
  9. Producing side underspin on the chiquita

    Motion is sideways not upwards. Also contacting side under.
  10. Producing side underspin on the chiquita

    It is either that you didn't read the post to the full extent or you are trolling. "There is heavy backspin with some side spin, but 0 topspin on this ball." Clearly says side spin is created. You can watch the video for yourself and you will CLEARLY see he is moving sideways. And YES, you...
  11. Producing side underspin on the chiquita

    Incorrect. There is heavy backspin with some side spin, but 0 topspin on this ball. Really letting your table tennis knowledge shine there huh? You may ask, how do I know? Because if you look really carefully and slow the footage down, he contacts the bottom side of the ball with the same angle...
  12. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Here is more footage if you would like to take a look. This is me practicing with a Nigerian National Team Member. (And yes, I can post here now :) )
  13. blade weight (butterfly)

    I personally like to go for around 85-87 grams as it is not too light nor too heavy and provides the perfect balance for me. Why those exact numbers? Because my first blade was 86 grams and switching to heavier / lighter setups takes a LONG time to get used to, and I'd rather just not deal with...
  14. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Firstly it is worth mentioning that your body is too stiff. Being stiff hinders your ability to move more freely. Try to stay a little on your toes and relax your feet. In regard to your backhand, the way I usually teach it, it is like throwing a frisbee. Practically the same exact movement...
  15. Life, Existence, and the Meaning of Long Pips - The Opus Maximus of James Z

    Because I’d rather not waste my time on a delusional person. Regardless of what I say it’ll go in from one ear and out the other.
  16. Speed glue / tensor = same thing?

    Why do you keep bringing up the point about one color rackets. This has NOTHING to do with the conversation ongoing here.
  17. best glue?

    Interesting... I have the complete opposite experience.
  18. Life, Existence, and the Meaning of Long Pips - The Opus Maximus of James Z

    Quite frankly you are wrong, but you are entitled to your bizarre opinion as I am mine. There is nothing to be learned from your posts.
  19. Life, Existence, and the Meaning of Long Pips - The Opus Maximus of James Z

    Man I was having a great weekend not seeing your idiotic posts but i guess the break has ended. People can play for fun and not for exercise and not to be competitive. Sorry to break it to you pal.
  20. Should I give up using tensor on backhand?

    Try the Gewo Nexxus EL 48 superselect. Love it!
