  1. Help with forehand topspin

    Yes. In the direction you hit the ball, to create more power together with your torso and arm.
  2. Help with forehand topspin

    Your right leg. You need to get the power from it, like pushing away when jumping. The leg together with your torso, arm and wrist will have to move simultaneously to give you the speed and power you need for looping.
  3. Inner Fiber Dilemma.

    The HC-1S should be a really controllable, offensive blade. I have played with HC-5S a bit and I guess these are quite similar...? So when you play shots using full body/arm movement, slow and fast, the bat is working great? But when you more like use your wrist for minor swing shots and...
  4. Back in the game, but need advice

    Check out some more linear rubbers like 729 - Presto Max Spin, 729 - Focus III Snipe, Yinhe - Mercury III Euro or 729 - Aurora Max. These are soft to medium soft and will help you in keeping the ball on the table.
  5. The beginning of a journey...

    A bat with Sanwei - Accumulator S and Sanwei - T88 III Training rubbers 2-pack would be absolutely great for you to learn all technique from the beginning, and it wont make the ball bounce away too much. Accumulator S is an allround+ blade and you can use that for a long time, just changing the...
  6. Yinhe rubber for beginner?

    Check out Yinhe Mercury III Euro or Yinhe Mars III Euro, for nice untacky, soft rubbers. For a total beginner check out Yinhe 9000 Training rubber 2-pack. It's absolutely enough to start with.
  7. Dignics 05 alternatives

    Joola - Dynaryz Inferno or AGR
  8. Little glue on sponge while glueing

    No problem. It doesn't matter :)
  9. Equipment advice for a returning player

    Thank you :) I think that it might be your stroke that is a bit too slow, combined with your Acuda S2 that might make the ball bounce off too quick. It's easier to go with a softer, more linear rubber like Mercury III Euro, Mars III Euro to get the technique working. They are more forgiving and...
  10. Equipment advice for a returning player

    Tau II is similar to a boosted H3. Battle 2 is a little stiff, so compared to Tau II it will need boosting. Battle 3 is closer to Tau II, but out of the box I think Tau II is a bit bouncier, but the spin is about the same. Why not consider something softer, Chinese for backhand? You gain some...
  11. From 729 Battle max pro to Battle 3

    If you really like the harder feel and grip and kick when you're brush looping with Battle Max Pro, then Battle III might be a step back. B3 is a bit better for flatter hits and gives a more bouncy, softer and faster feel. But it works good for brushing the ball as well.
  12. From 729 Battle max pro to Battle 3

    Battle Max Pro uses Battle top sheet (27-006), with a really tacky surface. Sorry...
  13. Beginner blade and rubbers

    What's wrong with your current setup? I mean, it could be really good for learning technique and it's not too fast, and not that spin sensitive...
  14. What hurricane version to get?

    It's a totally different rubber. The top sheet is more tacky and feels more like the Provincial/National versions of DHS Hurricane 3. The sponge isn't as bouncy as Big Dipper 1. It's quite hard and numb and for me to use it, it requires some boosting.
  15. What hurricane version to get?

    Are you boosting your rubbers or not? If Not. Check out Sanwei - Target National. It's faster and harder than Hurricane 3, and gives a lower throw. If you boost. The Yinhe - Big Dipper Pro or National could be something. They are quite hard and rigid but come alive with booster. Yinhe - Jupiter...
  16. Thin Chinese inverted rubbers for chopping?

    I just recalled that the German brand Pimplepark have a tacky, soft rubber with as thin as 1.0mm sponge. The name is "Epos". This could absolutely work.
  17. First Hurricane attempt

    I would try it unboosted first to see if you need additional boosting or not. Hard to say what fits you best. The rubber will most certainly work well with both types of blades. It's your preferences that should help you decide what would suit you best. Not much help there perhaps :)
  18. Thin Chinese inverted rubbers for chopping?

    I'm not a chopper, but I've tried a bit and the best I found is the Giant Dragon - Submarine. It's available in 1.5/2.0mm. Really good control, tacky, but not that spinny and not sensitive to incoming spin.
  19. When to change equipment?

    Yep. I think you should have a more linear rubber on backhand and go for the Vega Pro on FH as it feels better. Just keep the blade. Check out something slower like Yinhe - Mercury III Euro or 729 - Phoenix for backhand. Cheap rubbers with a really soft feel, and they are linear, so you can work...
