i have tried the Yasaka Rising Dragon which is a little less sticky but similar (for my backhand) like the PK50.

what's interesting is that Xiom states professional and amateur (feasability) rating for the rubbers. i.e. Omega 8 Euro CATAPULT & CLICK 5.6 SPIN & ARC 5.4 SPEED & FORCE 7.0 PRO SCORE 6.0 AMA SCORE 6.3 Omega 8 Pro CATAPULT & CLICK 6.4 SPIN & ARC 6.7 SPEED & FORCE 6.0...

Yes, but forward movement is not upward momentum, so it would only change the distance travelled horizontally, which again should not affect time until the next bohnce. The magnus effect could theoretically influence that time, but since topspin in serves is severely gimped by serve mechanics I...

Your impression is physically very unlikely. The force that drags the ball down is the same independent of its lateral velocity. So the ball that drops straight down from 30cm will hit the table at the same time like the ball that is hit laterally from 30cm, regardless how much distance it travels.

There are only two factors that you can influence for the serve to make the ball quickly bounce a second time on the opponents half: - spin (topspin should have a lower through of the table, hence hit the table a little faster). The type of table surface will decide how much your spin actually...

it does feel like a brick if the temperature is below 10° Celsius for sure, but same goes for many harder rubbers. In regular playing conditions > 17° Celsius the rubber plays fine. R9 was not really tacky for me and obviously too H3 like for me to play comfortably without boosting.

Hi guys, i put a layer of seamon (regular) on a new sheet of LAC and wonder that it does not show much curling at all. It is possible that it was slighty curled yesterday evening (which would be about 10 hours after applying). I wonder if one can derive the amount of change in feel of the...

you consciousness will bring you to perform more successful strokes and things that work better for you with your current equipment. A setup bad for spinning will never bring a beginner to even that out in generating even better technique to still get good spin. No, you will probably just play...

we have seen two different orange packagings at least with most having the data about the hardness, sponge type and sponge and one that has this missing (which could indicate a fake). this data is on the back of the packaging, so its hard to check if yours is the suspect one

Do you have the mention of the sponge on the backhand of the packaging? Should read something like 'kunlun sponge' ?

Is your packaging green or orange? The green one is not sticky

it's not a tensor, but the Loki Arthur China seems to be what you are looking for. It is kind of chinese, the topsheet is sticky but not more sticky than Rakza Z and it plays more like a tensor/hybrid than a regular hurricane that is unboosted. One would argue that the Loki Arthur China is one...

I had the same issue and especially rubbers >50° ESN become concrete in these situations. I was searching for that racket warmer as well and I think it is not available anymore, so I searched for something makeshift. I ordered electric shoe Inlays with a USB Port(so I can use them with a power...

If you can live with the smaller handle(if you dont get the g-revision) then go for it. It is definitely ten times more appropriate to get your strokes right than your current blade. Tabletennis11 is very reputable. Bought from them more than 10 times without complaints.

this is literally unfair play. There is a rule for handicapped people that are in a wheelchair about how serves are to be played and i think the same should be applied to young people not being able to reach that close to the table, but culture and morals differ. on the other hand the score is...

Lol, how is it a ghost serve, when it actually goes off the table and hits ma longs hand?

If you can't really attack a ball with the relatively easy to handle Rozena, i doubt that you will do much better with a harder rubber.

yeah, thank you. I kind of thought that the Loki Arthur China was more easy to manage on a 5 ply wood which it certainly is, but i still tend to get lazy with my acceleration. Lets not talk about footwork, because it is non existent currently. Funnily enough when i changed my blade to the W968...

thank you, that is a totally valid point and i am often lazy and dont jump back into position after serving. One thing i tried was looping the balls that come to my backhand corner with the backhand. I think my intuition failed me and made me do the wrong things for these situations. When i...

Hi, i know you guys love to watch people making themselves the clown and showing the amateur footage with fails, so here is my gift to you. I know it feels good if one sees somebody struggling more than oneself does :p I have reviewed a game that i played in training today and overall i am kind...
