5 out of 5 rating for Evolution MX-S I have played on and off with this rubber over the last 3 years. Every time I have used it, I have used it on both sides of my blade and used 1.9-2.0mm instead of MaxMax as this brought the weight closer to a sheet of Tenergy 05 2.1mm and increased my...

Think about the player who thrilled you the most with his matches this year. I mean who is the answer if not Timo Boll or Ma Long? Timo is just being modest as always....

The incompleteness is what counted not the doubles. But it wasn't fully evaluated. And it still came after the aforementioned videos. I think the place in the standings is correct.

Okay. My current rankings are as follows: 1. Confiscate 2. JeffM (not clearly a club match unless the club has only 2 members). 3. ttmonster, (doubles, not fully evaluated) 4. OSP (no match, but at least practiced in the club) 5. MichalZ (not a club match but a match) 6. suds79 (entry posted a...

Will carefully evaluate at home tonight, send me your address by PM and your choice of blade if you think you made it.

That would be too easy would it not? We want something more recent - thanks :D.

That's possible but I wouldn't be surprised if the Vp index or the Vp/Vi both satisfactorily addressed that as it simply is not true that 5 ply all wood blades absolutely have more feel and vibration than Viscaria style ALC blades. The Mazunov is a notoriously stiff 5 ply as an example even...

I don't know whether it is a major limit unless it influences something that is highly correlated with how TT players feel about their equipment and that this thing it is highly correlated it influences selection. What you are looking at may well be contained in other indices that ttgearlab...

It's a harder sponge so you have to work a little harder to make it work with fuller and writer swings. It is also not quite as linear as Karis M. It's also heavier so that dampens some people's enthusiasm. But since I play with more spin than power it helps the way I play.

The first generation of ESN rubbers to compete with Tenergy were similar in many ways. They include Rakza 7 and Vega Pro, but more people think directly of the yellow sponges Germany distributed variants like Andro Hexer, Tibhar Genius, Donic Baracuda and Joola Xplode.

Okay. I have times when I agree with what you are saying and there are other times when I just say it is not as critical as you think it is. Not everyone gets the same feedback out of their equipment or coaching.

I agree, but I would argue that the main tone does tell you a lot, though the analysis at ttgearlab did help me see that it is limited.

For something that performs like Vega Pro but is more reliable - Tibhar Genius. If I didn't like to loop/hit topspin hard close to the table, this would be the ideal. For entirely different animals with linear control, pushing blocking and great brushing spin but harder to obtain driving spin...

But it might not be - the point is that as long as someone is not using a rocket launcher, let him use whatever he wants. ALC blades are usually very reasonable blades compared to all wood. The HL5 actually has a vibration frequency very close to OFF- when I tested it.

When I used MX-S and MX-P and OVA Tenergy 05, I found that OVA and MX-S and MX-P in 1.9-2.0 approximated Tenergy 05 in 2.1 weight wise and that there was really nothing I lost unless I Was loopdriving 20 feet off the table. So I have stayed with 1.9mm for the hardest ESN sponges since then...

I know a guy who switched from a Grubba All+ to an HL5, he played USATT 2200 before the switch and he plays USATT 2200 now. So what is your point?

Ilia is a pretty strong man with a pretty strong backhand. I wouldn't mess with his backhand regardless. His loops are like other people's loop drives.

This is what I have always done with hard sponge heavy rubbers and it works fine.

Your post is entirely inappropriate. What he is saying is entirely fair - if you talk the talk, then walk the walk. I am a hypocrite when it comes to EJing - I tell people to stay with one blade then I change blades like I am losing sleep. And if you are starting to live sustainably, good for...
