CNT loop and Wang Chuqin. Cheers. Edit: I think nowadays the distinction is artificial. More are doing it, regardless whether Chinese, European, or...

Oh, upgrades ;-)

I've only tried YoungShine briefly, it felt comparable. I think @Zwill wrote about it earlier. As you say, I too didn't find a good price for it. That's all in that family that I tried, also NH3PTB, which is cool but heavy and perhaps too hard. Eventually, I'd like to try Sanwei Target Pro and...

OS, this is such BS... ;-) No, seriously, I too agree with Ben and L-zr. Even 1 layer is enough to make the top-sheet nicely stretched (that's for me at least equally important as the softer and more responsive sponge), it grabs the ball better. However, if you just entering the "dense-sponge"...

It has the "H3-like" dense sponge, and for me those rubbers, H3, Rxton9, DFVP, Battle 2, etc. are all in the same family, I mean if the top-sheet is not signif. different. I mean I can swap between them easily (assuming they have H40-H42 hardness). There are minor differences between them...

Based on your avatar I think it will be plenty fast ;-) Try it. You'll love it. Or not - only you can tell -;)

I played DF Volant Phoenix H40 (black) and I quite like it. The only drawback was that it went kind of grey rel. soon. It is not a big problem, the price is good and I'd replace it after at most 3 months anyway. When I finished my first sheet (I still have 2 new sheets), I tried Loki Rxton 9...

Thank you @hipnotic for dispelling the myths. TBH, I also thought the blade with more layers would be stiffer... E.g. there is the Vodak 4APC King Stiff&Spin, which really feels signif. stiffer than my Vodak Horejsi ALC. Also, a friend of mine (from another club) uses a blade with like 9 or 11...

I used to boost with 3 layers, then 2 layers, and now 1 layer ;-) The thing is, if you use more layers, the change in behavior appears to come sooner. As you mentioned, for you it works for 2 weeks, which is pretty short time. Second problem was that if I boosted with more layers, the rubber is...

That can't be PRO's blade. My blade is way more damaged (prettier) than that!

Yes, close and bent as the elbow passes the body back during the back-swing. That is what makes the difference for me - more close and more bent, relatively speaking. It maybe just me, but it influences the whole back-swing movement, which then influences the forward swing, as you said too ;-)

Sorry, I didn't mean over-straightening in the forward swing. I was specifically speaking about the back-swing, and @blahness too, I believe.

Hey Attitude, congrats to the progress, proved by the increase in the rankings. One detail I try to do to speed up the back-swing. Immediately after the stroke (as Der_Echte mentions) try to go with your elbow back/close to the body. The arm will get more bent, it won't (and it shoudn't) stay...

Rxton 9 for the 2nd half of the season. Man, this rubber sucks. I don't understand how can someone play with it. I'm afraid the price will HAVE TO GO down now. I'm sure people dislike it. Just not that much that it stops being produced plssss

I need to see you against Wang Chuqin playing pen-holder! And thanks, really good to hear him...

It's a bit like operating on a different wave-length. From your side, being proud of what you do and being aware of who comes with what idea, and remembering it/history, it is all good and worth, and nothing wrong in that. Even expecting that someone else recognizes that, is not really wrong, it...

@CCBladecraft, you are a blade-maker, you are a semi-god to all of us mere TT players. Please behave like one. I can't lose this illusion too!

Using brain. This is important for me, so I am trying to more or less constantly remind myself: to be wide and low, to move back and forth, and to move after each single hit. Essentially between points in match, more or less like a "baseline" thought (and check).

Rxton 9 is like 2 steps away from Rakza Z ;-) Perhaps some/more people didn't reply to your question because they are more interested in comparing rubbers which are more "in the family" - meaning *less* than 1 step away ;-) Rxton 9 is signif. harder than RZ, as Attitude wrote already, so to make...
