  1. Does doing pushups have any advantage on playing?

    In my opinion, push-ups are very useful, because they strengthen the muscles of both the left and right upper body at the same time, which is very important, since the non-playing half - the left arm and the muscles going to it on the back are less developed. Which leads to distortions and back...
  2. Which of my blades for a 1300 level player?

    In fact, you should answer this question to us, not we to you. There is no problem in trying and playing with all these blades.
  3. Looking for rubbers with medium hardness and good control

    It's a classic, and a classic is forever!
  4. Looking for rubbers with medium hardness and good control

    We have a saying - Better late than never! ;)
  5. Does a slower blade with a Viscaria-like feeling exist?

    Try a clone of Viscaria - Stuor sold on Aliexpress. It has lower speed and similar feel without spending a lot of money. If you buy, ask the seller for a blade with a low weight of about 85 - 86 grams, often heavier blades are faster, but you need the other way around.
  6. Looking for rubbers with medium hardness and good control

    Trevize84 If you choose Fastarc G1, then take into account the fact that this rubber does not start playing right away. After applying it, it feels stiff, it needs to be "run in" a couple of workouts. To speed up this process, you can work with forehand P S We are probably the same age as you...
  7. Looking for rubbers with medium hardness and good control

    By the way, what kind of blade do you use the G1 on?
  8. Looking for rubbers with medium hardness and good control

    Your experience also fully confirms my experience. Indeed, this control over the game is difficult to describe, but it is there 🙂 - with this rubber, I hit the table more and more accurately. At the expense of the Barracuda, for its time and a celluloid ball, it was a very wear-resistant and...
  9. Looking for rubbers with medium hardness and good control

    Fastark G1 works great on Viscaria and other blades with Viscaria structure
  10. Equipment does not have control. This is a lie.

    brokenball You wrote in abstruse words of truth that are clear to all people who have been playing table tennis for a long time - the inventory itself does not play, but the person play and inventory helps to play and the higher the level of the player, the higher the requirements for inventory...
  11. Looking for rubbers with medium hardness and good control

    Fastarc G1 is an incredibly control rubber, the numbers showing the characteristics of the rubber in the revspin do not really represent this control. I played with many rubbers on my backhand - Rakza 7/Z/X, Vega Pro/Asia, Barracuda, Focus 3 Snipe, Mercury2, Moon1/speed, Jupiter 2/ 3 in...
  12. World Table Tennis Championships 2023

    I'll be rooting for Alexis Lebrun too! I would very much like him to win a medal at this championship!
  13. Softer rubber or hurricane?

    Try, in any case only practice is the criterion of truth. I liked it better when the Viscaria had soft tensor rubber on at least one side.
  14. Softer rubber or hurricane?

    I play with homemade blades, which I already have about 10 pieces, I sold all my factory blades, as they have less control. Also note that sponge 39 reinforced with two layers of seamun will be as soft as 37-38, but much faster ... It's not about the blade, but about the departure angles, speed...
  15. Softer rubber or hurricane?

    I played Jupiter 3 with 39 hardness on the booster on both sides at the same time. After the tired Xiom Vega Pro, it was very grippy, the speed was lower, while the control and rotation were higher. At first, I was just delighted, but after a week of playing, I realized that I still lacked a...
  16. Softer rubber or hurricane?

    What is the hardness of the sponge of the Jupiter 3 you ordered? In any case, Jupiter 3 is a great choice, I think you will play it in forehand.
  17. Booster in winter.

    Very strange. I have Seamun stored for more than a year at room temperature and it works the same way all the time
  18. Cleaning tacky hybrid rubber to keep tackiness?

    If you have a new inventory, then just clean water is enough to wash the dust off the surface. If the rubber is not new, then microcracks appear in it, into which dust enters, while the adhesion of the ball to the rubber decreases and you need to clean it more and more often. This is where...
  19. Don't blame the rubber if you don't get enough spin.

    This is a table tennis forum, how can writing differential equations help in a match?
  20. Which Hurricane 3 should I choose?

    I have noticed that the versions of the hurricanes vary greatly in weight. The more expensive the version, the lower the weight of the rubber. The commercial version is the cheapest and heaviest for equal sponge hardness. If weight is not critical for you and funds for the purchase are critical...
