    no i haven't played at VPower or Chawi yet due to work, it was at iMall Canlubang. although I'm not sure if the players still play there, the groupchat isn't as active as it used to be.

    I play in Laguna, some of our older and more experienced players will do drills for everyone in the venue.
  8. DHS Gold Arc 8 vs. Fastarc G1 vs. Rakza 7?

    Just grab a GA8 on AliExpress or Shopee/Lazada, at times it goes super low, I got mine for very cheap at around 22$ (although price is quite high right now.) works really well, i don't really have a problem controlling it at H50 on BH. (really nice on chops too) might try the GA9 for FH, it's...
  9. Difference in play between ALC and off- wood blade?

    Previous blade: Stiga Offensive Classic (5ply allwood) Current Blade: Sanwei HC-1S (Inner, 5+2 ALC with a Hinoki top) Feel actually feels quite the same for the short game, maybe a tad bit stiffer for service. the difference mostly is when hitting strong or blocking strong shots, when you...
  10. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    Uniqlo has Roger Federer sponsored, seems like they're making more moves towards their sporting line of clothes. why sweden and not japan? because Asics and Mizuno probably has a chokehold on their market.

    where do you play?
  12. Table tennis setup for high level beginner

    what do you struggle with on your shots? anything specific you'd like in your racket? a pretty good set of do it all rubbers would be the Sanwei Gear Hyper get it at 38 Hardness for both sides.
  13. Fancy blades are just not worth it

    Rubbers definitely get better the more you spend. Blades can be cloned at a fraction of the cost (most of the time) obviously diminishing returns is going to be true for both. just more apparent for blades.
  14. Fancy blades are just not worth it

    Ovtcharov Carbospeed, Waldner Hinoki Dotec, Persson Dotec OFF and Walnder Legend Carbon. I thought the World Champion 89 series also used Hinoki but they use spruce instead.
  15. Fancy blades are just not worth it

    Donic uses it quite a bit, Xiom has had quite a few, DHS has the Dippers, Sanwei and Yinhe has blade lines with Hinoki tops, Butterfly has the Gregely. it's quite common,but some manufacturers will use other cypress wood instead.
  16. Fancy blades are just not worth it

    HC-1S is such a hidden gem.
  17. How often do you have to replace your cutting knife?

    I may not have the best technique as I try to do it in one go, scoring it slowly might be better
  18. How often do you have to replace your cutting knife?

    using an Olfa, i can only do 2. maybe even less if it's a hard dense sponge. adding soapy water didn't seem to help.
  19. Side tape REALLY change the feeling or not? What do you think?

    I wouldn't believe what pros believe in 100%. these people are top class athletes where a tiny placebo can work wonders, they can have misconceptions purely off of how good (too good) they are at the game. remember those ion bands? the only objective way is attach different setups (5 ply, 7...
  20. 2024 Sanwei Target 3 National

    the last blue one is probably the same one as the "National" one posted here, the one that looks purple-ish, it's the same one upfront of their product page. I wonder how it differs from the global release, both Target and Gear Hyper have different available hardness for CN and Global but looks...
