  1. Bounce with the Ball / Split-Step

    It's not that I disagree, but your post, as is (not necessarily as was meant), diminishes the value of the previous post. And so I can't give a like to your post too, you know. Let me explain. I often find myself moving insufficiently and standing insufficiently - standing not wide enough and...
  2. Richtung Deutschland

    What a pitty that the world's most famous trouble-maker lives in DeutSchland no more! I have some things about bread and butter to explain to him...
  3. How to play vs double Pips out?

    It may take some time but eventually you realize that there is less spin (whatever spin) coming from SP/LP (when on both sides) players. So you can actually attack a lot of balls quite well, when you sort of, lose the fear of the strangeness. Unless of course it is very short during exchange...
  4. Richtung Deutschland

    Great. Let's do that on Monday already, if possible. I'll visit my friend's club (Heddesheim) on Tuesday and Friday late afternoon. And will also try to arrange another meet with my former colleague who plays as well, but I forgot the club. This is very very good, thanks. I'll send you a PM.
  5. Nittaku hurricane 3 PRO turbo ?

    I'll order the Double Fish Volant Phoenix H40 first, but the second rubber I want to test is the Sanwei Target Provincial H40. From what I saw the ST National and Provincial are different rubbers, it's not that National is "selected" Provincial in this case. The sponge is different, and...
  6. Richtung Deutschland

    I'll be visiting my friend who lives close to Mannheim, between 1.7 and 8.7. I was thinking, it would be great if anyone of you lives in some reasonably big circle around it, like say up to 150km, and would like to meet for some hitting. My friend started playing too some time ago, and we'd...
  7. Nittaku hurricane 3 PRO turbo ?

    We just found an ideal setup for @Der_Echte. Switch to NH3PTB! As a sign of gratitude, you can send me that pile of H3 Nationals... +/- 40g
  8. Nittaku hurricane 3 PRO turbo ?

    Just measured the weight of NH3PTB cut to 157x150 => 62g. And it was boosted 3x, reglued 2x, meaning each time some overlap was cut, meaning the density decreased a bit due to stretching. So, new, 65g is realistic here. Edit: And it is 2.0mm ;-) There is no MAX.
  9. Nittaku hurricane 3 PRO turbo ?

    The NH3PTB is the heaviest and hardest rubber I played. Setup with it is 201g vs the same with H3 BS H41 is 186g. It is also significantly harder. To give you an idea about how hard: durometer says the Bluegrip C1 (ESN 60) is 55, and the NH3PTB gives 60. It's a high quality rubber nevertheless...
  10. Double Fish Volant-Phoenix

    You're in the tournament right? Not supposed to review rubbers now! That said, I forgot to wish you luck. Hope it's good, write about it pls. About the rubber, I'll get H40, but I'll not test it immediately, because the H3 is new. But I have very high hopes!
  11. Anybody ever fixed air bubble on topsheet?

    But that's only because you're making Igor happy!
  12. What is the spinniest ESN hybrid rubber for Joola Flash ball? (seamless ball)

    It was a custom. Cheers. Edit: Custom HL5, I checked now.
  13. What is the spinniest ESN hybrid rubber for Joola Flash ball? (seamless ball)

    Hi jammmail, I measured the G1/C1 recently. The C1 is 44-45, and G1 is 47, both pretty much as declared and expected. I play with G1 now, after the Rakza X, the transition is seemless. I was afraid that G1 will be significantly more spin sensitive, but I don't have this feeling. It is very...
  14. Bounce with the Ball / Split-Step

    Maybe also a case of different timing... By the time the ball comes back, even if you did bounce, you may feel stalled/fixed... Try more bounces, burn even moore ;-) Edit: I meant it more in a way of suggesting trying to experiment to find the proper way/timing even for those players. Obviously...
  15. World Table Tennis Championships 2023

    So who's gonna win today? The conscious imperfection or the unconscious perfection? My bets fluctuate.
  16. Beginner equipment for my 8 year old daughter

    I want to make a setup for my friend's daughter who is 8, and is a light-weight constitution, I think she weights perhaps 24kg. She started playing recently and makes good progress. I'm clear about the blade, I'll take 5-ply light all-round blade, NP there. The question is about the rubbers. I'd...
  17. World Table Tennis Championships 2023

    I love how relaxed, loose, he is, also during the match. It is more like a principle worth to pursue. Use the power only when really needed for the shortest amount of time required. I feel very far from it ;-)
  18. Sanwei target national new version

    Exactly, if there is this negative, or inverse, or inwards (don't how to call it) curling, putting 1 layer of booster fixes it.
  19. Does Rakza 7 generate good spin?

    I strongly urge you to persuade Sergey The Tsar Tsos to come to sit with me at a round table. I'm gonna offer some serious Moravian plums brewing secrets if we come to terms!!!!!!! I WANT HIS H3s!!!!!!!
  20. Rakza 7 or Rakza 7 Soft for backhand?

    I think at the end it boils down to personal preference. Both may be right. I personally would prefer R7 if I had to pick, but that doesn't mean R7 soft would not feel better for someone else. Know a guy who plays with T05fx on his BH, and no-one has such BH spin as himself, at least in the...
