In my opinion this is the key

It's logical to assume that Liang started doing this after Hugo's victory over Lin Shidong, but I can't say for sure because I don't follow all of Liang's matches. Maybe the all-knowing @zeio can enlighten us.

When repairing, there is often an opportunity to lighten the handles. You can make recesses in them. It is clear that this will change the balance, but it is still an option. When we do repairs, we always offer to reduce the weight or make the handle fuller, if necessary. After repair, the blade...

From your description it looks like an internal crack in the handle area. In addition to buying a new blade, you also have the option of looking for a blade repairman.

I noticed that when gluing the top layer of koto, this layer is much more saturated with glue. The glue comes out and it is necessary to use polyethylene pads so that this glue does not stick to the press. The blade with the surface of the limba is less saturated with glue. If we use limba extra...

Not only Zhang Jike, but also Timo Boll, spoke about the fact that professionals wear out their blades. Regarding the speed of blade wear, Zhang Jike's opinion, also makes sense, since blades with internal carbon bend more than blades with external carbon. This is due to the moment of inertia or...

The best blade feel can only be achieved with a rubber set that is compatible with the blade.

As a looping maker like you, I recommend learn the LP technique. It's not as hard as it might seem - you just need to take only one LP racket to training and play with it for a few sessions. It's useful in terms of understanding the game and a lot of fun!

The dark color is definitely not varnish, since all the outer veneer is dark. It's more like a penetrating wood treatment, which is probably why it smells.

Both blades have a limba surface. On the blade on the right in the photo, the limba is covered with a dark varnish, possibly oil, which is why it has a darker color. I think that on this blade, water-based glue dries more slowly. To better understand the structure of the blades and possible...

Jokes aside, this sport is really developing in Kazakhstan right now. There are already stadiums that we in Ukraine could only dream of. In addition, Kazakhstan President Tokayev himself plays table tennis, at least there is a video of him playing table tennis with Alexis Lebrun during his visit...

Hi! Have you tried DFVP1? Are there any differences?

I also tried DFVP (Black 39). Excellent rubber, especially for that kind of money. You can play out of the box without booster. Dead serve reception, like Hurricane 3 and a good ball on the loop. Let's see how long this will last. My DFVP weighs 49 grams cut to 158x151 mm. Addition from...

I also tried DFVP (Black 39). Excellent rubber, especially for that kind of money. You can play out of the box without booster. Dead serve reception, like Hurricane 3 and a good ball on the loop. Let's see how long this will last. Thanks to @Zwill for the feedback on this rubber! My DFVP weighs...

I can agree with you about the LAC, I didn't apply much booster, because it's already pretty fast. As for the J3, all my old rubbers respond well to the booster, but the last time I bought a J3 in red, 40 hardness, and right out of the box it was just great, much faster than the J3s out of the...

J3 - 5/5. Loki N80 - 3/5 + oil - 5/5 LAC - 2/5 Gold Arc 8 - 1/5 + oil 3/5 G1 - 2/5 PK50 - 2/5 G09C - 3/5

You are absolutely right! Literally a couple of millimeters wider or narrower chord, +-0.1 mm in veneer thickness and it will be a completely different blade. And there are many other variables - the properties of the wood itself, different types of glues and artificial fibers, as well as the...

Maybe I was misunderstood, or I expressed myself incorrectly - sorry for my Google translator). I meant that for the author of the video it would be useful to perform a large number of topspins for stability.

Ideally, you need 50 tops in a row and more. Better 100. Because 20-30 can be played even with tense muscles. And when fatigue rolls in, it becomes impossible to play further with such a technique. With a larger number, the body itself begins to look for a more economical mode of operation with...

I don't come across Loka blades that often, since it's a fairly new brand and our players haven't broken many blades yet :-). Everything is possible.
