  1. Winning matches at a lower level?

    This is important and hard af.
  2. Gel Blade or Gel Rockets

    Recently both of my Asics pairs got messed up insoles. Replacing them with gel added weight but also added cushioning. Maybe that is something you want to explore if that is important to you.
  3. Gel Blade or Gel Rockets

    I have both Rockets and Blades. First I bought Rockets. They are ok. Then based on my friends recommendation I bought blades. Less cushion, better grip.
  4. Mizuno Q Quality a cheap and performant tensor that matches Tenergy 05 at half price

    That sponge looks really promising! Similar visually to Vega Japan sponge <3
  5. Does sweat getting into the handle of the blade really increases its weight?

    If that would be the case my blade would be at least 20g more :p
  6. Winning matches at a lower level?

    Cheaper and more effective in the long run :p
  7. Winning matches at a lower level?

    Learn serve, serve strategy and serve receive.
  8. Does Rakza 7 generate good spin?

    That's really interesting. I had an opposite observation. I could get a loooot of spin, but could not get that much power of it.
  9. Rozena vs. Rakza 7?

    We are on TTD forum, might as well link you a TTD film: EDIT: Sorry for side tracking, I thought the Rozena was in the comparison charts.. My bad.
  10. Life, Existence, and the Meaning of Long Pips - The Opus Maximus of James Z

    Hmm... Against choppers I usually do "marathon chopper torture test". Deep fast loop Short touch on chop
  11. Mizuno Q Quality a cheap and performant tensor that matches Tenergy 05 at half price

    Can you post any pics? How is this rubber affected by humidity?
  12. Life, Existence, and the Meaning of Long Pips - The Opus Maximus of James Z

    Can you possibly attach timestamps? The order itself does not signify "time to rest" unless you attach when they happen.
  13. Which of my blades for a 1300 level player?

    That is kind of what I've tried to hint at. I would maybe skip ALC.S, or any carbon at that. All the blades I played had at some point jump in power once you apply enough power for carbon to kick in. If you don't have good enough technique, when you will be close to that, one might get some...
  14. Which of my blades for a 1300 level player?

    Which of these blades, have you played for the longest time? Which of them you had the most wins with?
  15. Which of my blades for a 1300 level player?

    From the list Energy wood or Gauzy sounds nice. Never played with Gauzy but on paper it looks like a good fit.
  16. Does it really matter what paddle to use?

    No one will forbid you, but unless you train a lot, no one will recommend it either.
  17. Does doing pushups have any advantage on playing?

    I was taught that if you base your power in your arms, you are doing this wrong. Ofc professional athletes do train arms as well. But if we are talking about us mere mortals, learning power transfer from legs and core and focusing on that usually yields better results.
  18. Does doing pushups have any advantage on playing?

    According to my personal trainer: - Various planks, including bear blank and bear walking. - Sitting down and standing up without using hands in various ways (core + legs) - boxing (using proper technique)
  19. Does it really matter what paddle to use?

    the numbers you are quoting refer to sponge only. G1 has thicccccc topsheet (the rubbery part of the "table tennis rubber", historically the thickest sponge for G1 was 2mm because of that). Plat has super thin topsheet which allows you up to 2.3mm sponge. This thinner topsheet gives you an...
