  1. Waldner uses Bluestar A1

    I would expect for a player who's used softer and bouncy rubbers for all of his career, the seemingly faster and more modern A1 is probably more in line with what he's used to
  2. Fastarc G-1, MAX vs 2.0mm?

    Victas/TSP makes high quality products, but even they (back in TSP days) listed their rubbers as having around a +/- 0.15 variance in sponge thickness; eg a rubber that would otherwise be marked as 1.5 or 1.6mm sponge would be packaged as 1.4-1.7mm. I think it is safe to assume that most if not...

    Just listened to it, good stuff. Excited for more content!
  4. What is STIGA Cybershape?

    G09C and GT share a lot of the stable and predictable behavior that a hard sponge provides, but G09C is much safer and tamer in my experience.
  5. Cheap Koto-Inner Fibre blade?

    Yes, confusing as to why they would discontinue it, but they are also recently selling the Pro 05 series so maybe they thought they would occupy the same space or something
  6. Blade sugestion

    The Donic Waldner Ultra Senso Carbon looks very very similar in the layout of the wooden plies to the Max Carbon, but with less overall thickness- 6.2 for the Max Carbon vs 5.7 for the WSUC. I think it might be worth checking out
  7. Top 10 best-selling inverted rubber and blade in Japan August 2023

    I wonder how sales of the Boll Spirit fare against its bigger brothers. It is selling for cheaper, but it always seems to be left off the table when it comes to any outer ALC discussion
  8. How does a semi-pro make money playing TT?

    The LOL moments will be when I can't even touch the ball and trip over my own feet 😂
  9. Penhold LP

    Yeah, the point of going for a thicker and stiffer blade like Clipper is to eliminate the springiness and flexibility-related characteristics of thinner blades while also maintaining some softness with the limba outer

    Two thin layers of glue on rubber, one on blade

    Tronix ZGR black (169mm x 169mm) and ACC blue (171mmx171mm) ZGR came with a plastic nonsticky protection sheet, but topsheet is slightly sticky allowing the protection sheet to seal. ACC is not sticky and came with a paper protection sheet typical of nontacky ESN rubbers. ACC smells like...
  12. Penhold LP

    Depends on how the actual blades play. But vanilla Clipper should be a bit softer and more balanced and better for control, whereas CRWRB should be harder and more aggressive for better speed and funk.
  13. Penhold LP

    I think Clipper is a great OX LP blade, soft but stiff

    I have to say, the finish of that 729 blade in your pictures looks pretty good. I have bought a few 729 blades a while ago and the quality was always pretty average
  15. Next step after Xiom Allround S > Offensive S or Ignito or other not Xiom blade

    SPW/OffS/Solo will be similar to the AllS but upgraded. They are stiffer, harder feeling, more solid/less vibration, higher speed blades than AllS. Should work fine with VP. Solo is different in behavior to SPW/OffS, the 5 ply blades have a bit more flex that IMO gives them a higher arc and more...
  16. Next step after Xiom Allround S > Offensive S or Ignito or other not Xiom blade

    I like this blade a lot, but it is basically the same blade as the Xiom Offensive S just with a slightly different head shape and size. Heavier overall weight than OffS because the headsize is bigger, but better balance as SPW handle is larger.
  17. rxton 1 for training

    I have Rxton 1, came in separate pack. For the price its a very good rubber, but there's a reason as to why you are paying less for a pre-assembled racket.
  18. Next step after Xiom Allround S > Offensive S or Ignito or other not Xiom blade

    I don't like balsa, too empty feeling and makes for a stiff and bouncy blade, I don't like light blades either. I stand by my recommendations
  19. Heavy but flexible blade.

    Doesn't sscb have 151x156mm head?
  20. LP tutorial channel

    The way I see it, the tpbh chop block is more in line with the way your arm wants to move especially when compared to a regular tpbh punch or drive. Assuming right handed, tpbh attacking needs to guide the ball towards your rh side, but the upper arm and wrist for tpbh is manipulated so that you...
