What's your rating? Under 2000? Then inverted will be fine! You can chop with tenergy in 1.8 or the FX series. The old school chop rubbers (tackiness drive, butterfly chop 2, juic 999 elite defense, etc.) aren't really tensored, so they have much less catapult in them. Reflectoid in 2.0 even...

I've always been told it was behind the end line, and you could stand off to the side as far as you want. So it basically meant, no serving over the table. As in you can't reach forward to do a dribble bounce that lands half an inch over the other side of the net.

It's a grippy long pip. You can loop and all that with it. Not one of the hold your hand out and block back any spin kind of long pips.

What match is that ZJ vs ML you're referencing? The olympics?

Spinlord Marder is a good one to consider, if you want something very slow on the backhand. If not, butterfly drive or tackiness chop 1 or 2 is nice. Juic 999 Elite defense is also one to consider. Reflectoid, and the TSP chop rubbers work well for chopping but their offense is limited. Super...

Well for lack of training time... don't short pimples require more precision (less margin for error due to the straighter trajectories)?

Last I heard -- samsonov black force edition with mx-p rubbers (max hardness)

Wu Yang, short pip defender!

From what I read, the garaydia t5000 is meant to be a schlager remake?

I'm in no danger of being ranked that high as of now! :p The t5000 probably is pretty close to the limit, given the legal wood to composition material %s. I agree that it's a pretty fast blade! So is it correct to assume that the innate speed/power is what gives that 'dead' feel? I may have to...

I believe the blade I learned on was balsa. A friend of mine at the time knew a blade maker, and he had one crafted up for me. So it wasn't a name brand that I can look up, and since it's been sold away I'm not positive as it was over 10 years ago! I'll give that 8.5 an order today.

Well, they give feedback but not the woody/doink variety. With the T5000, if I hit it wrong then I can feel the bad vibration and dull sound. However, if I hit the sweet spot... it's like with knockout punches -- you don't feel anything on contact, whereas if you hit the forehead or something...

I'm looking for blades that almost no 'feel' or vibration to them. The kind of blade that when the ball hits correctly, you barely even notice the contact! So far, the closest I've come to this is the garaydia T5000 from butterfly. Along with the Xiom Axelo. The sweet spot feels like hitting...

Well damn, even with a price increase yours is still cheaper than the $75 usd versions!

It's hard enough to get decently good with ONE style! If you're just dinking around most of the time and don't care about blitzkreiging your rank, then why not swap around! At the hobby/recreational level, the game is about fun... right?

How do you find google?

I agree, it was terribly traumatizing. I'm still trying to recover...

She's certainly bringing about the BIG O! :cool: But let's be honest, attractive athletes always get better deals and more attention. Just the way it goes (thankfully)!

Less technique? Maybe it's BETTER technique for the 40+ ball! So basically you're saying the african guys are less skilled but "uniquely athletic" lol... gotcha!

To be THE man, you gotta beat the MAN!
