    It always depends on the contract. Some contracts force you to use your sponsor's equipment, others do not.

    Why are you answering a question you have already answered? OF course it is not mandatory.

    Fastarc G1 is a special rubber. I can guess why I never tried it in the past (it was Nittaku expensive) but if you don't like Tenergy and you like the Hexer/Genius/Baracuda generation, this is definitely the best of the bunch. I tried it on Hinoki Ghost and on my Akkad - I am more used to it...
  5. "Strong Statements of Intent from ITTF"

    Some people say it will hurt defenders even more I am in support of a higher net. The plastic balls bounce higher.

    Sometimes, you have to have followed someone's posts across multiple forums and social media to notice the quiela in their thinking and the degree to which they can be attention seeking.

    My contact depth even for spin has always been relatively deep and with my knees I might need to push a lot. I am experimenting though so it will be a while before I can say I am done with the process.

    I prefer the top ply of the Akkad with Wenge wood to the top ply of the KJH with white ash. Even on the Rubicon and on the Arche. The Rubicon was too slow and the Arche was half an Akkad and slower. The Akkad is ridiculously linear. I have zero complaints at the moment and it will always...

    Harimoto was born in Japan. No one doubts his age.

    Strokes look excellent and the forehand much better than I remember with a better loading of the core and the legs. Keep up the hard work.
  14. Tibhar Evolution MX-S Alternatives?

    If you like MX-S, Fastarc G1 is worth a try.
  15. Who currently has the best backhand in table tennis?

    No one is so I focus on overall backhand play and Harimoto has the edge.
  16. Who currently has the best backhand in table tennis?

    Never been to Triangle TTC in NC. Was at Lucky Shoals and AITTA.

    Played yesterday and today on vacation in Atlanta. I am probably around 1900 in level now. My backhand is very close to where it was before I stopped, probably better because I don't have the movement to use my forehand so I sit on the backhand. The forehand is technically a better stroke but...

    Again, the stroke is level appropriate. It is better than the first video but you don't have a strong spin orientation. The whip motion is still overly controlled. But it is a good start. One of the things we have to accept is that building a stroke requires you to build the muscles and...

    Throwing a frisbee is a great analogy. If you watch the video TKH13 is throwing a frisbee. Just not the way you want him to. I don't think topspin and backspin are that different, the issue is always the power of the incoming ball and the amount of power you need to generate a quality...
