  1. Short review of Glayzer 09c

    It really felt slower, even than D09C, esp. on harder shots... But I also think I could use it instead of D09C, it's a good rubber.
  2. I suck at this sport, please help me.

    I also think very good progress for 1 year. Calm down, practise, practise, have fun, let the time work... Trust it!
  3. Forehand Topspin Like Ma Long | 5 Tips

    Hey Dan, speaking with tongue in cheek here... Allow me 1 point - notice how close is ML's elbow to his body during back-swing, he's almost hitting his body with it... It influences how you rotate to the right, and also the non-playing hand influences it, and these two then influence the forward...
  4. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    On the line from slowest to fastest, take the one which is 40% on the way... You need to have some reserve where to channel the aggresivity ;-) Forca!!!
  5. Rubber thickness

    I used to have Vega X and Pro some time ago on the BH. The Vega X has higher pimples, more spin potential, and also more spin sensitive. So if I had to choose, I'd pick Vega Pro for the BH... The Rakza 9, yes, cheese-like bubbles, quite fast - good luck with that ;-)... All these are cca 47...
  6. Rubber thickness

    You don't need to be afraid of the MAX... Around me, mostly people who play more defensively are sensitive to the thickness, and they prefer 1.9, or even less, of their respective rubber... I also think the rubber itself is much more important than the thickness... That said, if you like 2.0 or...
  7. Impressions from my club: How badly do you want to win?

    So the higher skilled guy happens to play a match against me and I say: "He's polishing his ego.". WTF. That is the thought I want to challenge. If someone does it, I call it a bad choice. If I do it, I call it a weakness. Cheers ;-)
  8. Xiom Omega 8?

    Hey @TB, a very nice czech review, and the google translation ;-) Hi, I'll add my bit to the mill. Through the family shop in Modřany, the PRO version of this rubber found its way to me. So I'll take the liberty of bringing my view (published on their website) closer to you here. Korean XIOM...
  9. Impressions from my club: How badly do you want to win?

    I don't see it is a problem at all. In fact, I'd be happy to be in such situation. Now I hardly make the team together, and e.g. on Sunday we gonna play in 3 instead of 4... Similarly, getting to a higher league - whatever the means - even if this strong player helps - may be good for you...
  10. Which part of body use is more important when doing forehand topspin?

    It is done by all those parts, and thus all those parts are important... Imho, what is important is the "feeling of induced movement". Let me explain. Stand straight and relaxed, and rotate the body say to the left a bit - now notice that the arm somehow moves, without muscles. This is what I...
  11. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    I can relate, because I remember back in the days I couldn't play with H3 H37 on the BH, because I felt I can't sustain exchanges, and you were still using it and enjoying it, causing severe trauma ;-) So now the world is back in order ;-) Anyway, I tried several BH rubbers and I'm somewhat...
  12. 🚨 What Is Your BIGGEST Problem In Table Tennis At The Moment?

    Not being able to play just and only for the joy of the table-tennis during official matches (I mean not training matches).
  13. Long 5 Blades vs TMXi Blades

    Cool, interesting... I also worry about the head size, but now I'd now risk it... However, I spoke with Mr. Vodak per email and there is a high chance he'll be able to repair the blade... So I'm now glueing the Glayzer from my blade to Viscaria and will play with it for a week or two, I have DF...
  14. I have to choose a cheap chinese rubber. H3 NEO, 729 Bloom series, 729 Battle 2s, STN.

    Loki Rxton 9 H39, you can then upgrade to H40,5. For 1/2 the H3 price the perf. is very good. Top-sheet is elastic, for me very diff. from STN which I didn't like... However, now I play with Xuperman Powerplay-X, very good rubber too but more exp., and the H3 BS prov. is now getting cheaper, as...
  15. Long 5 Blades vs TMXi Blades

    Thanks Matt, I think W968 and Q968 are great blades, but too expensive. The Long 5 - I'm not so sure though. Btw. did An play with Long 5 or the W968? Anyway, valuable information, thanks. So as you see, I'm searching for "alternatives" until SDC's queue is processed and he can build another...
  16. Long 5 Blades vs TMXi Blades

    Hi, do they have same handle? Can you compare the handle with the Ovtcharov ALC handle and Viscaria handle? I'm considering buying a inner-layer blade, ideally like 159x150 with Viscaria-like handle, weight cca 90-92g... temporarily... my blade has an injury... shame on me ;-) Candidates: -...
  17. WTT Singapore Smash 2024 3/7-3/17

    It's for us to realize, that we live in those few couple of remaining years, where we can still dance and play TT better than... And enjoy ;-)
  18. God decreed Golden Viscaria, but I am an atheist.

    Gozo's feeling before (and also after) such shots:
  19. How to minimize the time between second bounce and third bounce on the serve?

    Exactly. The movement right after serve in anticipation what may come is important. E.g. sometime I serve short top spin serve, and forget to move back (perhaps because I don't move back that much if it is short under spin), and then I don't have enough time to stand properly for attack... And...
