Thanks for the feedback — you’re partially correct, but I think it depends on the shot: When pivoting for a diagonal kill loop, I naturally adjust into a deeper stance with my left foot forward and body angled ~45°, just like you mentioned. But when I pivot to kill down the line, if I stay in...

Thank you for your comment. You are right, I did make a post about it 😁 As strange as it might sound, I kind of started utilising my body more, strengthened my wrist, tried concentrating power a little more and it has been a while since I felt any discomfort. So, the problem is gone. I am able...

Hello once again, everyone! I am back with another technique update. My topspins are getting significantly spinnier, consistent and I am able to generate my own power with proper technique on an all-wood blade. I'll come back soon with another training video with a more experienced partner, to...

I see. Appreciate your comment. I haven't really paid any attention to balance. Gave a simple finger test yesterday and it seems my racket's centre of mass is exactly in the middle of the head. Would you consider it to be poorly balanced?

I have been going like this for well over couple of months. I have been strengthening my wrist, although brush speed increased, there's barely any difference in terms actual spin. I do not use edge tape. As for glue layers, I can try that. Does the sponge thickness affect the weight...

Hello, everyone. My equipment: - Blade: Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive (Ch.Pen) - FH: DHS Hurricane 3 Neo 710s Provincial Blue Sponge H40 2.1mm, 2 layers Haifu Seamoon - BH: Dignics 09c, 2.1mm Something I have noticed: - Experiencing slightly sharp momentary numbness when really loading up the...

Yeah, just go for Dignics09c

That’s great to hear — 7 days is quite impressive. I guess it all comes down to picking good sellers and a bit of luck with customs. Out of curiosity, have you ever looked for stuff that isn’t on Ali at all, lesser known Chinese brands? What about the pricing?

Fair enough, AliExpress has definitely improved. Still, I wonder if people would be interested in something closer to home — no customs, faster shipping, more clarity with sponge versions (e.g. true provincial/national batches). Especially with the lesser-known stuff, or even borderline...

Right, although I am pretty sure it's mainly DHS, 729 based. Inventory is super scarce... Not to mention the prices 😅

True, some of these shops are doing a solid job already — I’ve seen CHTT and SpinFactory have good ranges. That said, a lot of the deeper/rarer variants like Special National, Arthur China, Target Provincial, or even less known/unknown rubbers are often not available or not clearly labeled. I'm...

Well, I believe there is no universal truth there — only preferences. Regarding the initial glue layer, however, it's incredibly thin. So, that barely makes a difference. Leave and apply the booster — it's too much hassle to remove it either way. If you feel the difference and don't like it...

Passionate about table tennis 🏓

Well, it's bit of a metaphor, however, that's true. Nature has its price — I get birdsong and fresh air, but not express shipping 😂

Appreciate your comment — no intention to "thrash-talk" at all, just sharing my personal experience and opinion. Totally respect that H3 works great for many players without booster as well

I see, so it's mostly because of price, or are there other reasons too? Or do shipping times and reliability also play a role here? Can't speak for everyone, but from personal experience, AliExpress has been always a gamble — last order ended up taking over 42 days to finally arrive to my...

Right, who doesn’t love a quality item for a cheaper price, especially if you can get your hands on something rare or high-performance? 😅 The challenge is that for a lot of players in EU/US, Taobao still feels risky — long shipping, uncertain product quality, or needing a middleman just to buy

I see, I appreciate the comment — totally fair point. Do they really need booster though? I mean, even if they do, I’ve noticed that most players who go down the Chinese rubber rabbit hole end up embracing boosting pretty quickly. Take the well-known Hurricane 3 for example — I actually tried...

Hello, fellow table tennis enthusiasts. I know some of the more hardcore players and EJs here have probably tried some of the Chinese rubbers that are harder — or borderline impossible — to find in Europe/US. I’m talking about things like: • 729 Battle II (Provincial / National / Special...

What really happened is this: You started brushing better (maybe because H3 forced you too) → timing improved → net clips decreased → now you're crediting the equipment You're not completely wrong that “synergy” matters, however, you are putting the cart before the horse. The “secret” wasn’t...
