I like Nittaku J-top

summary: make 10 or 20 shots on the same ball between the two of you a few times during warmups. in the exercises don't add power if it causes you **or your partner** to make less than 70% on the table.

I think the extra weight goes away as the blade dries out again. Anyway weight in the handle wouldn't make it feel much heavier, might feel lighter depending how the balance was to start.

A serious training partner with a lot of free time who wants to do exercises in a purposeful way, not just mess around or play games.

rozena was made for you, give it a try

everyone says this so I guess it is true. but I know several people who play these, and I have also used one ply at times, and never heard of anyone I actually know breaking one

Miwa hop bh in side-view slo-mo clearly two hops for two bounces. she skips the bounce on her side, maybe bc this is an exercise the timing is before the bounce but in full speed looks about simultaneous

for me they are comparable except R7 is a bit faster, which you could say also = slightly less control. but the real difference is whether you want the spring sponge feel, or a normal ESN gen whatever feel. if you played tenergy for a while and liked it then you may prefer rozena. if you...

either kind is easy to break if you try at all. my advice is buy some cheap five-plies specifically for racket throwing when you get pissed off in a match.

Yes. Yes.

I'd focus on light weight. Get a thin sponge in whichever rubber you choose. It's going to wear out and be replaced soon enough. And in a year or two the extra grams of max sponge will not matter to your kid either.

It really doesn't matter. If you are a looper and will use inverted rubber both sides any setup is fine. Whether you get coached from the beginning will matter a ton, also how much deliberate practice you do. Relative to those two things your choice of MX-P vs dignics, or TB ALC vs fextra...

Amazing thread. NL knows this is one of my favorite topics. To me it is obvious that we all play better if we keep our feet moving all the way through every point. It's just very tiring, and easy to slip into lazy play. The Veach article was excellent. I tried shadow training, robot...

Yes, but more flexible doesn't always equal more control. It will be slower than an average outer carbon blade, and both slower and less catapulty than inner carbon. If you respond to the relative slowness by trying to muscle the ball you may get less control, at least until you adjust your...

any spring sponge has a good throw for me. it's all what you are used to. ideal is whatever fits your technique and what you trained with.

I am following the standard old-fart plan ... change to short pips at 50, medium at 55, working up to long pimples for 60.

don't waste your money, Glayzer is nothing like t05

Most people don't systematically test every rubber in a series. I played G1 for a couple years, I liked it. Never even had a hit with the other fastarcs, didn't care. Popular rubbers stay popular by word of mouth and user satisfaction. T05, rakza 7, g1, mxp are all good rubbers that a lot...

I am working on this progression exactly with the beginners I coach (free coaching) at a local club. Multiball fh vs push, multiball fh vs normal ball, and once those are competent (75%+) the next step is feed push, they fh loop, feeder blocks back, play loop v block as long as possible trying...

This sidespin retention thing is also true vs short pips even if the receiver doesn't use a racket angle to neutralize the spin. I guess the lower rubber surface area does the neutralizing.
