Sounds like the SK7 you have in your signature, doesn't it? As somewhat a 7 ply wood blade consumer (I have bought a lot) I can say they are not all created equal-some have some flex, some are stiffer, there is variation in speed, blade size, weight, etc. One forum member stopped blading with...

How does he do when you play long and dead to his BH?

I just want to say Mr. Gozo, that many of us still have the same problem. We keep trying. And working on it.

Based on what you write, doing a season of league play sounds like a good use of your time. If you don't like it don't keep on that path. I will say a caution: to say that you "underperform in matches"-you sound like you are training to train and not to win matches. There is nothing wrong with...

I totally understand and have chosen the path of ugly wins over pretty losses. But it is my choice and you may not want to go that route. I am 60 years old, moderately overweight. I will never beat a good 25 year old player by out top spinning them or playing all out offense. I MIGHT have chance...

A corollary-if you loop first, then block their loop in warm-up (and that means not counter loop, counter kill or do aggressive blocks-just block the ball back and let them get warm). A sub-corollary rule that I regularly break is that at a tournament I often will NOT loop in warm-up cause I am...

First thing-if your opponent's topspin is too much to handle, don't help him by serving underspin-or pushing long!!! Second-if your opponent is looping your serve that goes off the table, serve dead two bounce serves!! Third-if your counter of your opponents loop is going off the table, don't...

I tried chop and drive. I wonder how many sheets they sold? It is one of many rubbers that you never, ever saw at a tournament when you looked at your opponent rubber sheets. Sorry, having a flash back...

short game, short game, short game

Interesting thread. I think some answers with "simple you just serve topspin or top side" or just play X or Y do not appreciate that some players do have an incredible push game that is difficult to overcome at mid level play. I have played some pushers who absolutely could push any and every...

I am the worst one to ask the question. I have tried plenty of blades, just none of the ones you mentioned. If you could post a video of a match I think people may give some helpful recommendations. Not knowing or seeing you play I generally think most players cannot go wrong with yasaka rakza...

why do you want to change your blade? I would keep the blade. Try new rubbers based on your style. Then maybe consider a different blade.

Watching videos will help. I am of the opinion that watching players better than yourself, but not way better is better than watching FZD for example (at least for me).

It does protect the edge, of that there is no doubt. Now you can still bang your edge hard enough to damage it, but it is somewhat protected. And I do appreciate even one gram since I use LP in OX on one side.

R7 is still a viable option for most of the posters on this board. Including me.

They were nothing special, believe me!!!

New three star balls. Prefer new balls over old balls no matter what the brand!

thank you for sharing!

If you are playing 2-3 hours a day you probably can play with anything to be honest. I would focus on how long the rubber lasts more than the price. I have never, ever had a good sheet of H3 commercial despite numerous attempts-but with boosting you may make one work, since I have never boosted...

See a medical doctor. Don't get medical advice on a table tennis board.
