Go for the nostalgic since you like the looks and that will be the biggest difference between these similar blades, more than how you play. ST vs FL otoh is a choice a lot of players feel really strongly about. I don't like the feeling of a flare handle at all. Most of my friends don't like...

Change one thing at a time. That way you can make a proper assessment of the new thing. Baracuda is not particularly fast. It also does not last for several years and retain much quality. So possibly your forehand is going long because there is not enough topspin to bring it down on the...

heavy is not always bad. how is the balance? if it is really head heavy then you will feel the weight a lot more than if it is even or head light. you could always take the handle apart, and fill the hollow bit with some nails and wood glue, and then put the handle pieces back on.

Diggynicks is best for everything. But if no butterfly allowed then Moristo SP is best bh rubber.

That was a good match. Good enough that I will watch it twice, a second time when they put up english subs so I can hear the Samsung Men's coach's commentary.

This is all very exciting.

This totally depends on how far you are from the table and how fast the ball is approaching you. Ma Long doesn't take a long swing if he is 2' behind the table. He doesn't like to be only 2' off, so he is called a long-stroke player. The ultimate short-stroke player I guess is LSW. But if...

It's not really the equipment that is the answer to your problem. And the advice to push better with more variety is also true, but not useful, imo. You are stuck at a level many players also get stuck at. 1200 TTR is like USATT 1500. The answer to progressing beyond that level is a...

Big slam means super soft means sucks. Keep the blade, it's good. Change rubbers. Tenergy 19, T05, T80, take your pick. Or if you want to transition halfway at first, T80fx.

For sidespins just serve a ball and go look at it on the table, or the floor if it hits the floor. How fast is it spinning? What direction is it spinning in? That's how to tell.

That's Thanksgiving weekend, and you know what that means - Joola Teams in DC! Seriously I doubt many east coast players will go. Or anybody who celebrates Thanksgiving with their family. All the TT players who live in Houston will probably go though. How many is that? baal will know.

If you can spin the ball up and catch it on the rubber so it grips and reverses the spin then it's still okay. If the ball slips off it's done. Bad explanation but pretty sure you know what I mean.

Rubber is far more important. The different characteristics of rubbers from frictionless anti through pips to tacky is massively wider than the difference between blades between a $5 premade and a $400 Bty CNF or [insert overpriced blade]. Not saying blades don't matter at all, obvs. We...
