AK47 is basically similar to a tensor. Not many rubbers similar. Loki Telson 100 is closest. You could try Yinhe Moon 12 or 53.

DHS Fang Bo B2 is fairly cheap, high performance, very reliable choice.

Zhang Jike should go play the American league

Does falco make it more faster? I tried Seamoon on MXP, but it doesn't really have effect

It supposedly is, but the tmxi feels very different from w968. It feels less dwelly, harder and faster. It has a more vibration feeling.

Today I tried out the W81 inner. I've had this blade since last November, but I never tried it until now. Anybody else have this blade? how does it play for you? It has a limba-inner fibre construction, so I suppose it's meant to be Loki's version of Long 5 or something. Mine has a 1400...

Today I did the same training match drill, my slightly lower level opponent does all the serves in a best of 5 match and I try to either attack or push short. Except this time I gave up a 0-6 headstart in each game and played out the match.

I personally didn't seal them, and I didn't have any serious problems. I did have some very slight splintering of the surface wood. So if you want to avoid that, you could go ahead and seal the blades if you can do it very thinly and not affect the playing properties. But the blades are really...

The Stuor ALC is slower, softer. Stuor ZLC is a bit harder, more powerful, more catapult. I have both the Harimoto ALC and Harimoto ZLC. I prefer the ZLC.

oh yeah that's the zlc one. It's a very good blade, but there is also quite a bit of variation from each blade. Let me know how your harimoto feels compared to the long 5 and 75 inner.

These are really good blades and rubbers you got. This is how I would personally arrange them, with the view to try to balance the speed of the blade with the dwell time from the rubber or to balance the hardness of the rubber with the flex of the blade. I just have one question. Do you have...

I hated the handle, too thick, hard to twist, also feels short

how do you like it? I've had 3 blades now that play/feel like the Atletico power. They all have that same limba+thick core construction. I don't like how any of them feel. But I have 1 XVT ZL600 that has the same thick core construction, but feels totally different.

Maybe later down the road i'll think about more pressure. I'm really just trying to setup lots and lots of repetitions for me. Today I did 2 matches against 2 lower players. I felt like it's a good exercise to just get my body used to attacking. After these 2 matches, I played a match...

Another really good drill I started doing when I am with a slightly lower ranked partner is that we play a full match except he does every serve. Them i either loop his serve or push short. I tried today with a 1700 guy and lost first 2 games. Then won 3 straight games including 11-0 game. I...

Is it faster or slower than J3A?

Yes, I did mention in previous post that it's hard to generate enough spin looping out of your hand. But I don't mind practicing counter-attack against a weaker loop. In a real match, I would usually block against a hard loop. I would really only want to counter-attack against a weak loop...

Well I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. I just try to identify areas where I can potentially win a few more points. If you won 3 more points each game, you'd be like 150 rating higher. Then after identifying an area where I think I could win a few more points (serve, 3rd ball, receive...

I did about 200 balls of receives today. After that I decided to try a new drill to work on counterloop. I just had my friend loop a ball out of his hand. After the set of counterloops, I tried a drill where I did 1 push first and then a counterloop. I didn't get a good video angle today because...

I gotta disagree with J3 and LAC. I found LAC had a very decent reaction to booster, at least a 3. I found J3 had almost no reaction to booster, so maybe 1.
