  1. Anders Lind discussing illegal serves

    Yes, absolutely! That and the enforcing... That older people are against, due to the momentum, is OK. It would be surprising if they didn't.
  2. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    That's KO, I need red on the BH. Thanks anyway.
  3. is it a grip issue?

    I also thought like that, like @Doum. But I was not sure you'd ask. When that happens there usually is visible wet-mark on the rubber.
  4. DHS H3N for beginner

    If you were a child, well, you'd not ask here, but if ;-) then I'd tell you follow what your trainer suggests. But you're adult, so I say, if you like the setup, keep it. Sometimes people in europe are a bit skeptical against chinese rubbers. I've made a setup for my friend, who is/was...
  5. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    It's good to hear you like the R9. I like it a lot too. On the other hand, on you description I can see, how everything is relative. To say that ball shoots out like a rocket with small movement. That it strange. For me the R9 has the typical chinese dense sponge, which, in order to get speed...
  6. New racket after a break - T05 or Dignics?

    The blade I think is a good choice. For the rubbers, something more controlled: Fastarc G1 (FH) / C1 (BH) Xiom Vega Pro (FH) / Euro (BH) Spoiling the game again - stay away from Tenergy/Dignics for the first year. And then for all the coming years up to eternity...
  7. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    In a way, I had a similar experience. I realized I can feel the differences between rubbers, and I think I even have certain understanding of why, and can somehow describe. But this is not like that with blades. There I only feel the differences, but can't describe well, and much less understand...
  8. Im losing faith in the sport

    How the infrared light (about 810nm) helps with neuro-degenerative issues, like Alzheimers, Parkinsons. It's a bit off-topic, but perhaps it helps someone...
  9. DHS hurricane neo 2 or neo 3?

    Loki Rxton 9 is pretty tacky (tackier than H3), still can lift the ball for couple of seconds after 4 months. But I'd not say it is signif. slower than H3, the sponge is similar to H3 BS. I think you'd like it anyway.
  10. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Fantastic. Good to hear. Most higher level players here use D05 on the BH, I thought D09C would be a bit too hard... Again, you like it, all that matters...
  11. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Sorry NL, I didn't want to sound controversial... I just thought you'd explain why so hard on the BH... It fits you, that is all that matters.
  12. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    OK, I see... I've heard people say that H3 H40 or so transmits power well on direct drives, you're not the first one... But that is not what I feel, for me H37 transmits power/speed on direct drives better the H40/H41... And relatedly, H40/H41 are better for me for FH blocking than H37, they...
  13. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    ;-) hmm, I wish I reach the level where I can honestly say, H37 boosted is the optimal BH rubber for me... far far far away ;-) But Rakza Z, no thanks. I tried that. I dislike it on both sides. On the BH, I very much prefer the Rakza X, directer, much better for exchanges, for blocking, enough...
  14. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    That is strange. How can you feel that way. When the sponge is hard enough, I don't have the feeling of wasting energy on the FH side, because the hardness allows the tangential impact to be converted also to spin, and not bottom out - which would not convert to spin, but rather to speed and...

  16. Im losing faith in the sport

    The way I read it, it seems you couldn't recover fully yet. Human body has capacity to recover, and this capacity can be activated even more than usual, by fasting. I'd recommend you find resources about fasting, autophagy, stem cells. It's not hard nowadays. E.g. I do approx. 7 days water...
  17. [Request] Post your SDC blades

    My new blade from Sérgio, SDC Blades. These are Sérgio's photos. Composition: limba - ayous - A-C - ayous - A-C - ayous - limba. Yes, yes, yes, that ;-) 93.6g - 5.9mm - 1270Hz - Balance: 3.3cm (Med) - 159x150mm. Dense core, Viscaria like handle. I'm going to try first with the rubbers I'm...
  18. Pendelum Serve like Reverse Serve

    Yes, e.g. Wang Chuqin is a good example. Imo, the goal is to serve different spins with the same motion (or very similar motion). It doesn't matter whether we speak about pendulum, reverse-pendulum or hook or whatever... In case of pendulum, if you, immediately after ball contact, follow with...
  19. Looking for a backhand-punch rubber

    Yes, the G-1 has a bit harder top-sheet. It's good but I also prefer slightly softer top-sheet, while having similar sponge hardness, on the BH. It's more easily accessible on the BH. So I can follow your feeling that you try to describe. I can suggest Vega Pro or Vega X. Vega Pro feels a bit...
