  1. Past Innerforce users - what did you move to and why?

    I've been back and forth with inner and outer blades ... and someone said innerblades are not for mid distance? some of them definitely are! first I had "extra" outer - Axelo - it reminded me of my competition days 25 years ago but had to accept it was "a little bit too fast" then had 7-ply...
  2. Any blades still in production similar to Xiom Hugo HAL or Butterfly Moonbeam?

    I found that in order to make HAL work at its best, rubber should be 50+ hardness. softer rubbers are either catapulty as hell or mushy as hell. btw - how’s R7H - been eyeing it for a while now, waiting for the rubber to come in stock. would love to try it on Donic Waldner Gold Edition and test...
  3. Any blades still in production similar to Xiom Hugo HAL or Butterfly Moonbeam?

    for me, it was actually the best possible pairing. good speed, good control, best feel of all the rubbers I tried (J&H C55, Rakza Z & Z EH, Vega X, Donic C2, a whole bunch of Hurricanes …). played it on both sides. that’s how much I liked it.
  4. Suitable rubber for BH ?

    I had MX-P 50 on BH for quite some time. it's amazing when you are on power, when you are leaning on the ball aggressively, but if you want to play "gently" you really have to be careful as ball then tends to think it's on a mission to the Moon. 🤪
  5. Suitable rubber for BH ?

    you could try Hurricane 8 Soft, I played with Mid on forehand, but here and there I tried it on BH and was quite good, actually. maybe even Hurricane 8-80, I had Hurricane 9 which has the 80 sponge and it was a nice rubber, except really heavy (58g cut).
  6. I want opinions on my chances of pro

    the biggest problem I see is footwork … it’s … you need a lot of work in this department. I heard today that one our practice session in Shanghai costs 150€ … rumour, but … it could be true.
  7. The best Table Tennis Rubber that money can buy right now

    currently I'd say andro Rasanter C53. after a couple of months it will be either D09c or Z03, depends also how my backhand will be ... 🤪
  8. FZD ALC fishscale from prott, one side thicker than the other ?

    could be, this was a blade for someone, then this someone rejected the blade and it went to Prott?
  9. Butterfly Outerforce ALC / Yasaka Psych dragon

    i follow a simple rule - do not buy a blade you cannot try first. because handles. wanted to do it with DHS Hurricane Long 5 and luckily I didn’t. because I tried it not long after thinking of getting one, when ST version wasn’t available, yet, and it was horrible to hold. it was rubbing my...
  10. I want opinions on my chances of pro

    now I am 43. when I recovered after the injury I still managed to reach top 10 in U17 category, playing in top national league. at the age of 18 we moved into a small town and my dad and I we kind of tried to start a new club. which we kind of did and after my short spell as a pro in national...
  11. Butterfly Outerforce ALC / Yasaka Psych dragon

    looking after MF too, but it's nowhere to be found around me (close to me). I also called official Butterfly retailer and told me there is like 2-3 months waiting time ... 😳 Outerforce being soft - as in soft, vibrating soft, or soft, nice, trampolining kind of soft feel, where you have a feel...
  12. DHS Hurricane Long 5 and andro Rasanter C53

    so, as I gift I received the DHS Hurricane Long 5. at the beginning I glued on it Dignics09c and Donic Bluegrip C2. it was a nice combo, but for competition, the blade wouldn't be legal as the rubbers were quite small. I had some andro Rasanter C53 rubber and Nuzn 50, Rakza Z and Z Extra Hard...
  13. I want opinions on my chances of pro

    didn't want to go this deep but, the hell, lets do it ... so, I started playing at the age of 4. at the age of 10 I was already champion of capital region, and that is a tournament with no age restriction. my dad was my coach, that I have to say, and he was one of the best. he produced several...
  14. Butterfly Outerforce ALC / Yasaka Psych dragon

    hi! I am looking for something similar to MMaze and you say Outerforce ALC is quite similar? don't know how to describe this feeling, but it's nice and cushy, like there is a net in the middle of the blade ... that's what I am looking for in a blade, but other than MMaze and Moonbeam blades...
  15. Donic's alternative to BTY's Harimoto Tomokazu Innerforce ALC

    quite late for the party, but better late than never! so, after unsuccessful hunt for Moonbeam and MMaze blades (ok, I did find some nice specimens, but I am not willing to spend that much money on a 20+ years old blades) I dipped into inner blades - a lot of people suggested, that these kind...
  16. I want opinions on my chances of pro

    also - I suggested several times to stay in the US, play the tournaments there, get up the ranks and then, at the age of 17 or 18, go to Europe. but somehow, maybe because it doesn’t include Germany in the plan, he disregarded the best possible plan. it’s not Germany, Sweden or US, that will...
  17. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    which blade now? TMXi goes perfectly with C55, it’s a really nice combo. TMXi I tried that blade with several different Xiom rubbers, and the only one that felt weird was Vega Hybrid Europe. all other rubbers were working well, but C55 was in a league of its own. ALX is quite stiff, almost...
  18. New Blade: Tibhar Darko Infinity Carbon

    I could also feel quite a difference between ALC and ZLC side. ALC was perfect for my FH and ZLC for my BH, as I prefer stiffer feel on BH ... still didn't get over the fact that I sold this blade only because I had a phase where I was playing with H3N/H8 rubbers and the blade itself had 91g and...
  19. New Blade: Tibhar Darko Infinity Carbon

    in my experience, "Quality Control" does not exist in Tibhar's vocabulary, unfortunately. would love to try this one as I prefer nice soft feel on FH and stiffer feedback on BH ...
  20. Technique correction - Trying to Fix my FH backstroke + hitting through the sponge

    bwoah, wanted to write someting, but then saw 13 pages and don't have the time or the strength to go through all 13 pages. so I will try to be short and concise. 1) you are STIFF!! STIFF!! very STIFF!! loosen up. relax, not just arm, but whole body. I think you want to do the stroke so right...
