  1. Advice for new rubbers

    LAC will be slower on weak to medium impact and pushes and only really more powerfull if you got a very decent acceleration on your loops. The omega 7 pro is much closer to your current rubber and definitely faster than the g-1. If you want to experiment, go for the xiom omega
  2. Advice for new rubbers

    Loki Arthur China would be a good pick if you want something very spinny and also more powerful, but it will be much harder to activate than the g-1. I would guess most people playing g-1 would have difficulties switching to LAC on a Viscaria, but give it a try.
  3. Advice for new rubbers

    So you want something less fast than a G-1 but still at least as spinny ? Sorry to break it to you, but the easiest way would be not to use an outer carbon. The viscaria itself will up your minimum speed already (if you dont plan to play unboosted chinese rubbers). Go for an 5ply wood with the...
  4. Xiom Omega 8?

    roning team on youtube just reviewed the Omega 8 China and sometimes compared it to dig09c.
  5. Let Detector

    but a net ball on serve that lands on the table afterwards is also a "let" ;)
  6. Let Detector

    Nice attempts, but I can already see issues with some gym floors that transmit vibration on people stomping when serving
  7. Slow, Spinny and control oriented inverted rubbers

    It depends on the state of your backhand rubber. If it is worn and the Vega intro is less worn I would indeed change back to it.
  8. Slow, Spinny and control oriented inverted rubbers

    Vega Intro is 47° on the esn scale and it is more controlled than vega europe. If you want to teach stuff yourself and get many bad habbits, then vega europe will support that. Good luck trying to get that out of your system if you ever wanna beat somebody that is not totally clueless about...
  9. Slow, Spinny and control oriented inverted rubbers

    a lot of assumptions here, but let's go: i have seen beginners play balls that are long (dont bounce twice on your side of the table) with an upward lobbing movement and just make it actually hit the table by trying to use the right amount of "upwards" force when hitting. This is the wrong way...
  10. W968 National Question

    because it would be too big of a shock to Zezima. V20 Extra i tried as well and it was not a "slowed" down version, but rather gimped in many ways (even spin) compared to the V20 DE. I don't know about the V15 Sticky Soft but similar to the K3 FX these are not for impactful looping since the...
  11. W968 National Question

    R48 will be easier to spin, yes, but much less controlled in the short game. It is perhaps wise if you can start testing that soon to know if you actually want to go back to the "regular springy tensor" rubbers. if you get discount on victas, then go for victas v20 double extra. That is...
  12. W968 National Question

    if we want to be picky, you dont play to ITTF rules, but rather the local league association's rules which may mirror the ITTF rules, but are not necessarily the same. If you are not playing internationally that is .
  13. W968 National Question

    Vega Pro is very different from "Vega Pro H". The question is why you would only want to buy from a local store. If it is about them glueing the rubber onto the blade i could probably understand it but if you are capable glueing yourself then there is nothing wrong ordering online for a better...
  14. W968 National Question

    i don't know why you are so adamant on buying the rubber on a discount. Butterfly you surely dont get a discount (at least that is the policy in germany) and the other rubbers might be cheaper in the first place than the other options. A Xiom Vega Pro H is 47€, Rakza Z and Z Extra Hard are 51€...
  15. W968 National Question

    if it is only about looping easier in general i would not go for C55 or g09c, the former i did not test but the pure hardness would not make much of a difference (even though different enough in characteristics from the d09c). The g09c will indeed make you land more shots on the table, because...
  16. W968 National Question

    I would not go with the Victas TDE (even though i never tried it) simply because according to reviews it will require even more strength to activate it. What you really want is a rubber that is not that picky about the bat angle so that your shot percentage counter looping increases even when...
  17. W968 National Question

    i did not want to mention it in the other thread, but since you are coming to the realization yourself in here i think the dignics 09c does more harm than good. It's high requirement on precision and techniques make you lose your confidence in games too fast and you resort to being passive and...
  18. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Do you actually use a wide variety of serves in a match ? If you choose a vastly different serve each time the return will also vary greatly not making you adjust to a specific return of the opponent, because you get thrown into a new situation every time. Usually you would know how your serve...
  19. Your best double's serve tactics?

    You should vary the serve depending on how the opponent is setup to receive it. If we assume you and your partner are right handers and your opponent as well there are two option for him to receive: either standing there with the backhand or standing in the middle to receive with the forehand...
  20. Advice for beginners: No need to change your blade

    @SleepyMaster Yes i totally agree, there is a performane ceiling with the long pips tactics. That guy has 1450 points currently and i would estimate (by checking how often these long pips players appear in higher leages) that most wont reach more than 1600, because at that level there are very...
