Know a guy that i could win a match here and there approximately a year ago. He played Harimoto ALC and double inverted. Now a year later he gained 300 Rating Points (played a lot of tournaments) and is playing an Alround Blade with MXP and Long Pips. Now best i can do is perhaps win a game or...

Tibhar Hybrid MK would probably be the closest with the least amount of adjustment needed, but be aware that it does not last that long. Durability is worse with hybrids most of the time

Lol, that is not Igor in that video

No, it does not. It is more of a hitter/smashers rubber not excelling at spin.

Z2 is not a hybrid

If there is underspin on it you can't smash from below net level, but i guess what you do is a lob or lift.

That was obviously against a way epweaker opponent. Here he is playing against one of the best players of the 3rd division iirc

Iirc there was a thread about AI evaluation of table tennis players in a German forum as well and the result was that none of the AIs actually is able to analyse the videos and just parroted the video descriptions it found for other table tennis videos found in the internet

and this is where you got it wrong. you should not read to much into revspin ratings, because you don't know what other rubbers the people rating it know or play or what they are used to. Rakza Z has a high throw, LAC does not have as high of a throw as Rakza Z, but still far from low in most...

That does not make sense to me, because passive usually means pushing, perhaps he means blocking but then again the all wood blade should be much more controllable in all situations (compared to the harimoto).

why would i compare PK50 to Rakza Z EH ? PK i use on the backhand and Rakza Z EH i definitely would use on the forehand. Given the experience of the boosted LAC whose sponge tore apart when removing it from the blade, even though i had only used a very thin layer of yellow seamoon, i would not...

i just read in a review of the dignics 09c that the "c" stands for circular sponge which was meant to mean that there are little gel filled pockets or gel particles in the sponge. I never heard of that before and now i think it might be a reason for its durability. I would assume that air in the...

sry, its already cut and glued, so i can not tell, but according to anatomic edge (YT channel) it is 76g uncut and about 55g cut, so more on the heavy side of things.

i was lucky and received a brand new yasaka rakza z extra hard and glued it onto a blade to compare it with the new rxton 7 '39 (which was as spinny as the 5 month old LAC). Now comparing the passive bounce, the Rakza Z EH is even more unbouncy (dead). comparing spin on serve, topspin and...

The old LAC was unboosted for about 4 to 5 month I think. I had another blade with a boosted LAC and what was noteworthy is that it was basically destroyed when I reminded the rubber from the blade. The sponge has several tears simply by removing the rubber. I didn't think that LAC needs to be...

Just glue on a Rxton 7 '39 and was surprised to see it being decently sticky and very low bounce on passive strokes. Comparing it to my 5 month old LAC on the robot using ESN spinsight yielded no big difference in performance. Powerful loops against backspin were not really as powerful compared...

Yes

i don't think Butterfly ever advertised the Glayzer series as hybrid, but rather as a controlled beginner friendly flavour of their brand of rubber. For me a real hybrid is indeed a tacky topsheet with a sponge that helps in the short game by slowing things down, but accelerates the ball on...

the knuckle ball effect might also be what people feel when the get empty balls played by pips-out or anti block balls

Xiom has the Xiom Hayabusa ZL Pro blade which has a "non-carbon" artificial fibre in it.
