  1. Slower FH rubber

    Another cheap alternative which (to me personally) does feel close enough to a hurricane 8-80 with more control is the PF40 from DHS. It's sticky, spinny and controlled, so that you dont pierce holes into the walls of your gym
  2. Thinking of upgrading

    And i thought I was the one that did not listen much on the physics lessons in school... This is what AI/Grok will tell you: More Spin in Table Tennis: Fast Blade vs. Slower Blade with Constant Racket Speed and Tangential HitWith constant racket speed and a tangential hit (i.e., a stroke where...
  3. Thinking of upgrading

    i will not go into the topic of tiefenbachers studies, because i have already read through it in the past and found several points that make it not apply to modern table tennis or rather all the factors that exists nowadays. The study was fine for what it is. a study pre 2000 with the...
  4. Thinking of upgrading

    In what universe would an outer alc blade boost spin compared to a korbel ? i guess we really live in a multiverse with different realities.
  5. Thinking of upgrading

    i think a good reality check for these "i think i should upgrade to a faster setup"-thoughts are to actually make a video of your matches that clearly show that you do great spin and placement using complex strokes like chiquita and chop blocks with your current setup and that you simply lose...
  6. Loki Arthur comparison

    Probably marginal, because it should only be a different topsheet. Orange is sticky, green is not
  7. Nexy Fitting Racket Order

    Do you think you could create an Nittaku Acoustic or W968 clone ? I was even probably thinking about a hybrid with one side like the Acoustic and one with ALC. Is something like this (which would mean having one side having more layers than the other) even possible with your service ?
  8. Butterfly Zyre 03

    Why would you assume so ? Did it say that somewhere ? FZD did play H3BS on forehand and probably Dig09c on BH because he is told to do so by BTY. There is no reason why he would compare it with something he is "forced" to play, but rather something that he himself chose to play with (namely...
  9. Butterfly Zyre 03

    of course if you have played with sticky rubbers long enough, you will probably not be enarmoured with the "highly grippy" wannabe sticky topsheets of the other brands.
  10. Butterfly Zyre 03

    That is the issue. ChatGPT heavily relies on Reddit.
  11. trolling in training?

    it sounds to me like it is one or two things. first: he does not like to do training drills with you where he needs to serve. second: he does not want you to learn how to receive his serves.
  12. Nexy Fitting Racket Order

    i like the proposal of such a service, but Nexy really has to work on that order form, because it is not localized completely. If i need to figure out what a third of the options mean because there is no english translastion next to a korean sign i am pretty turned off by it.
  13. Video Footage Safe Thread

    i think the failure to loop everything long is of course something that would hinder somebody from making the next step in quality, but i would not have thought that it is still an issue with >1600 USATT rated players or is that rating only what you suspect the opponent to be ? Since i am not...
  14. Tibhar Evolution low throw angle?

    i am wondering about the measured values, because they seem incredibly low. 2900 rpm equals 48,3 rotations per second which is a good value for an underspin serve, but for an incoming topspin ball it is incredibly low. Tbh i never have seen a ball with less than 90 rps whenever i recorded...
  15. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    if you watch aforementioned review of the rexton 7 you see a closeup of the sponge which actually looks like there is two different sponge densities in it. a open pored layer and a little layer close to the wood that is more dense, as if they "topped" of the sponge with a closing layer.
  16. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    These guys are a joke. First of they constantly mix up terms and simply deduct properties of the rubber by the size of the pores of the sponge and additionally they even had a video where they glued a rubber and used a roller to press onto the bladeface after glueing the rubber, with the handle...
  17. Suggestion regarding a new setup

    to put it bluntly your second blade will only hurt you. whatever justification you are trying to fabricate here, it will not make you improve. Hurricane rubbers are harder to play and activate and carbon is harder to control on more powerfull shots. The only thing that will happen is that you...
  18. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    went to the venue for a league match expecting to start in position 3 (with a team of 4, so i play against their 3rd and fourth placed player) and got told that the number 2 was ill and i had to play on the second position, which means i had to play their best and second best player (both 100...
  19. My EJ journey hasn't gotten me anywhere until I returned home

    i do have one *bty amicus expert" but it would not be able to be mounted in a way that would replicate what my coach did. It would need to sit next to the table 10 cm from the net on the right and "shoot" the ball to bounce once on the other side, jump low over the net tangentially to the net...
  20. 50 degrees Hybrid comparisons (DNA hybrid H vs Bluestar A2 vs. Rising Dragon 2 vs. Golden Tango PS)

    You are right that many "hybrids" feel the same or at least very similar if we are talking the non sticky ESN hybrids. What i find an issue with is that the dampening effect on the short game is not really existent on many 50° hybrids and it seems like they are just regular tensors with a harder...
