    Happy New Year. These blades are still available.
  2. Would you consider a tt video coach?

    I started improving faster when I stopped learning from everyone.
  3. Best carbon blade for stepping up from wood

    If you want the feel, then Donic Waldner Senso Carbon is a very good and relatively cheap option. There are plenty of other blades which can be considered. I recommend this one, as I have used Donic Waldner Senso Ultra Carbon as my main blade for close to 9 years.

  5. Butterfly 05fx alternatives

    That's correct that Acuda S2 is a very good backhand rubber. Since replacement for 05FX in this post means a rubber which is not made by butterfly and still is good for the backhand. Unless I am misreading the comments.
  6. Butterfly 05fx alternatives

    Correct. If you want Tenergy then you buy Tenergy.
  7. Butterfly 05fx alternatives

    You are right on both counts. As I am not a very high level player, probably around 1900-2000 USATT. So for my style, it works.
  8. Butterfly 05fx alternatives

    Andro Hexer Powergrip SFX. Not the same grip as it is a different brand, but a very good alternative. Acuda S2 is another alternative which I really like
  9. Blade defect after sealing?

    Ok, sorry if I am bashing Xiom but I also had a not so good experience with Xiom few years ago. The top ply of my blade just separated from the carbon layer somehow without any help from my side. I still the same issue which is basically that their manufacturing process/raw materials selection...
  10. Medium hard rubber for backhand

    Andro Hexer Grip or Victas Ventus Extra or Andro Hexer Powergrip SFX or Donic Acuda S2
  11. Carbon inner blades advice

    You should change only one side rubber at a time. If you find Tenergy 19 too fast then try C1 on the backhand while keeping your FH rubber unchanged. Try playing BH and/or FH with C1 and see how you like it. BTW, you are not alone when it comes to using Tenergy on BH side. For amateur players...
  12. Carbon inner blades advice

    It is pretty good and very balanced. I would not rate it the spinniest (which would be either R48 or Gewo) and the best part is that the performance of Fastarc reduces gradually and there is no sudden decline.
  13. Carbon inner blades advice

    I am glad that you liked it. From rubber perspective, here is an interesting point which you might would like to consider. I used to use Tenergy but cost was too much for me. I am around 1900 USATT and was able to play with it without any issues. I moved to other brands, have used Xiom, Andro...
  14. Carbon inner blades advice

    Eyes closed buy Harimoto Innerforce ALC. If you can manage with 88 grams or 89 grams it will be a gem.
  15. World's BEST Backhand vs TTD Team!

    That's what is called AMAAAAAZZZINNNGGGGGGGG!!! Super like and a bow to a very senior and well loved player Kreanga. It is always a treat to watch you. Well done TTD guys, I am so happy and thankful that you choose to make this video. Thank you so much!
  16. I am looking for that 'effortless forehand topspin mechanics' tip

    Quick Question for OP - Why don't you focus on - Arm relaxation - in two context - while being stationary and while doing footwork drills Quick recovery - Ties into first point. Until you are relaxed, recovery is slow Optimal timing - Try to contact the ball every time at the same point with...
  17. Slower Setup for Harimoto alc

    I use Andro Rasanter R48 which is quite good for my forehand. I am not sure how long you have used T05 because moving away from Tenergy requires a learning curve. I have been there, done that.
  18. How low is your stance (for loops etc)

    I also compensate for the lower stance with my blade angle. I do try to get low, but I also know that I cannot compete with pro's. Also, it is very difficult to keep a low stance throughout. Hence, a better option is to try to be low but find a balance which you can carry on in the rally and...
  19. How long do rubbers last?

    The use of the rubber in table tennis is to add spin to the ball. For a hobby player like me, this is sufficient. If I can impart spin on the ball and I get the 'right' feel from the rubber then by all means I will keep on using it. Rest all is marketing gimmick.
