Maybe you can take a look at Dima's service strategy, there is a good video that explains his BH service strategy . On the FH side, he mostly uses the tomahawk serve.

Maybe you can also consider GoldArc 9. It is a pretty solid rubber and in the same price range as GA5. I played a couple of seasons with GA5 years ago and as far as I remember, the durability wasn't that great. I'm currently playing with H8 39 on my FH, and in my opinion it's not really a rubber...

I tested both rubbers for just a couple of hours and played only a few matches against my team partners, so these are still just initial impressions, but I hope the feedback is still useful. The Aggressor is harder to use and control, but definitely more dangerous for opponents. The Killer, on...

Just a small update: I've been settled on Hurricane 8 39° on my FH, and I really like it, but it is quite a heavy rubber, and it has started to cause some shoulder problems for me. Is there a similar rubber that is a bit lighter and it can be a bit faster too? How does J3 38 compare to H8?

I've noticed lately that more and more players are doing this, some French players, Kim Nayeong, Shunsuke and a few others. It's sort of ok if you do it before your own serve, but it gets really distracting when it happens right before the opponent’s serve, when they are trying to focus and...

My style is also close to the table attacking, with a mix of fast drives and topspins. From my experience, Rakza 7 worked better for me than G1 on the fast, stiff blade I currently use. It feels livelier on short strokes (which really helps in close to table play) and has a shorter, safer travel...

Have you found anything yet? I’m in almost the same situation, looking for a fast yet controllable rubber for my forehand, somewhere around 47–50 ° hardness. I’m currently using Rakza 7, but I’d like something just a bit faster. (I already tried the G-1, but didn’t really like it on this blade.)

I saw that Rakza 7 is on sale and it’s more than €10 cheaper than in shops here, does anyone know if this is legit, or has anyone bought it before on Ali?

Just a little clarification from my side as an umpire on temporary pause. In table tennis, referees are not the same as in other sports. At the table you have the umpires, while the referee(s) run the tournament. Checking if the light would bother you should be done before the match, like Jha...

Just came across another blade with the Koto - Ayous structure and the price is good. As always, I’m a bit worried about the handle size, especially with Chinese blades. Maybe someone here has tried this one? DOUBLE FISH MK2 Table Tennis Blade Brand: Double Fish Model: MK2 Ply: 7 wood...

Yes, it should be sealed. I bought it from the HWSPORT Store.

How stiff is the FZD ALC in your opinion? I'm actually considering getting that one, as I like stiffer blades but I find Nobilis ZLC a tad too stiff for my taste. I’m also looking at their Harimoto ZLC. How is the handle on the FZD ALC (Harimoto ZLC), is it more on the thin or thick side?

I believe in that regard, Yinhe is better as an established brand. I had the regular V-14 and now I have the V-14 Pro, both are good blades. Still, I’m a big fan of Stuor blades. The quality feels great for the price. I currently play with Nobilis ZLC and also own the Hinoki ALC Blue. I had...

I had a copy of the Stuor Viscaria a while ago, I bought it mostly out of curiosity, since at the time I was playing with the V14 and didn't plan on changing. If I remember correctly, it felt a bit softer than my blade, but it was a pretty good blade for the price, with good control and speed. I...

How do you find the blade in terms of speed and stiffness? Can you compare it to any other blade you've used? I've been eyeing this blade for a while, as I'm looking for a stiff, fast blade in the OFF range, but not too fast.

Yeah, that could be, I might have missed it. Great sportsman anyway.

He actually admitted it the third time it happened, he won the point the first two times. But I do agree with you, I don't think he did it intentionally.

That's actually one of the old dirty tricks in table tennis, wiping sweat from the forehead with the free hand and then serving. The opponent almost always ends up returning the ball into the net or his side of the table. I don't think Jarvis did it intentionally, he was just sweating a lot.

Kim played exceptionally well in the first six games, with incredible stability and consistency, which forced Miwa to work hard for every single point. The match was physically demanding for Miwa, and the moment her focus or intensity dipped, Kim took over control. Playing against Kim requires...
