Thanks. Both are exactly 85 grams. Any recommendations? I am new and you seem knowledgeable from your other posts.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I did not mean to suggest Virtuoso cannot be used for looping or anything. Its great for loop-drives and is super accurate/point and shoot feeling, but I was hoping there was something between the Expert (Which I do think is unstable on loop-drives: reference the...

Thanks. Good advice for sure. Do you care to expand on your experience with blades and feeling? I started with Stiga ARC for a year, then 6 months of Virtuoso Off-, found it too stiff and hard, then 6 months with Stiga Allround Evo (which is just a little faster than Stiga ARC). Wanting...

Any recommendations? I find Expert II too flexy and Virtuoso Off- too hard and stiff and drive/smash oriented, though the crispness on backhand with H3 37 is super nice. No carbon please. I am trying to learn how to loop-drive and Virtuoso feels more stable for that but otherwise, I feel like...

Following this thread and reading the last few posts, no offense but what are the level of players that are allowed to comment here? I do think along the lines of take good advice from ANYONE….AND a 1000 usatt level observant player might be a better coach than a 2500 level player. But...

My favorite so far is H8-80 37 degrees. Super tacky, very controllable in low speed and has more than enough top-end speed/spin. Link to me playing with H8-80 with terrible technique [] [] []. This is with allround evolution blade (an all+ blade). More than enough everything and still has...

First time really practicing footwork. Video is at 60 fps so slowed to .25x is best means to see the details. Any comments? I still feel like I use too much shoulder for my loop-drives, and should lean forward in my loops a bit but ?? Sometimes I also feel like I revert to old habit of my arm...

An old H3 non-Neo I have. I got pretty lazy taking off the glue before I discovered Rev Glue/Tear Mender and was careless and...well...Is using this going to cause inconsistencies on bounce depending on where I hit it? Thanks.

Hey all, Been still working on that backhand. This is more against no-spin and underspin against long pips. Wonder if previous comments on my backhand on this thread were corrected in these strokes. I included some not perfect form ones to show how my form reverts to old habits when not ready...

Thanks NextLevel. I will try elongating my backswing and see how that works out and get back to this thread. Any comments on my FH loop? I am reworking it to combine with the little hop/footwork rather than being stationary every loop.

Thanks. Really appreciate the detailed reply. Hmmm...Im still trying to work out incorporating what the videos said. If you pause during the start of my stroke, it feels like I dont have more space unless I start taking the racket to my left hip, which I heard is the old style and one is...

I had been having problems with feeling shoulder tension with my usual BH loop technique so I tried to rework it yesterday by just tightening core every shot and focusing on relax/tighten/relax for forearm/wrist.... no pain today at all...but the video makes the technique seem a little off...

Any one have tips for better FH loop against underspin? [stiga allround classic, unboosted H3N]

Thanks for all the opinions here. I agree it all depends on what you aim for. There are people who cannot warmup with any consistency on even FH drives and are around 2000USATT, and they have made their weird techniques work, mostly because they have played a long time and have greet feel. But...

Thanks NDH. OH MAN! Thats a big question. I can come up with an endless list, some listed below. But Ive actually downgraded from OSP V- to a Stiga Allround Classic (SAC). A lot of my shots looks like I am using my body but are often led by my hands/shoulders first. I noticed this cause my...

Thought Id try seeing what people say.

@yogi_bear Thanks for the detailed review. How would you compare this to the Azelea Allround? If I am going the route of Limba-Ayous-Ayous-Ayous-Limba 5 ply route of Stiga Allround Classic to Stiga Allround Evolution, then would the next step up be the Azelea or this Cybershape wood? [I like the...

Hi all, Just wanted to post some observations/thoughts/experiences and see what people think: History -Played since summer 2021, no sports before then -Fh loop practice~year ago -Best points in a game ~month ago -Drill practice video, cross-step footwork, underspin to topsin/fh to bh...
