Congrats to the upgrade. Is it possible to view the messages "latest first"? This saves a lot of time. I couldn't find the preference setting for it.

Ball moves faster, and so must we, we exhaustedly grasp for air, and the worst, no MAGNUS. A nightmare, the hell!

I don't know. It's a process, we see it changes the top-sheet, so I'd expect it to make an effect to the sponge too. But I've never measured it, just as many other things, because I knew it would not change anything, I'd still pound it the same, only I'd knew I'm the bad reason causing the need...

You also don't exhale very rapidly unless someone pounds you into stomach. Maybe the rubber feels the same :-) Last week sick. Today gonna make my rubber exhale.

Ahoj Marku, SDC has great web-site, I recommend you go over it.

Watch this toy. It has no muscles, yet the arm is moving. It is moving because the body rotates. More precisely, the body has already been rotated and only after that the arm starts moving. Imho, you need more of this to your stroke. So I am trying to make you feel that your push to the ground...

You're right. But that is not what I tried to say. The focus should not be on thinking now I go forward or now I go upward, the focus should be on making sure that your arm movement is driven by the body/hip rotation, imo. We do agree that pros do push to the ground when they start the...

Hi dingyibvs, I'd like to say something about the FH. The preparatory phase looks good to me, you rotate right, go down, put weight on the right foot. But in the forward phase, you push the ground and only (almost only) go upwards with the body and arm, and later on, almost after the hit, you...

Linus said he named the git after himself :-). He is a great man. Btw. I like the 1st one, nice and uniform, I am surprised it didn't dome. How many glue layers did you put? I do only 1, it domes later, but it does dome.

In my exp. it is like a "luxury" question to have. I'd frame it differently. It is not about when the ball has the ideal spin to be hit by me, it is more about about me being in an ideal position to hit the ball. You could say, well, it is the same, and you may be right. But what differs is the...

Radius 40mm is cca 5,3% more than 38mm. The circumference is linearly dependent on radius. In order to have the same angular speed, the surface speed will have to increase, and since surface speed is just circumference per second, the surface speed will only increase linearly, i.e. 5,3% more...

Yes, the white protection foil is the best thing of the whole package. I've used it for other rubbers for quite some time. Actually until I finally learned to use gravity to put those transparent plastic protective sheets bubble-free on my rubbers :-) Sorry for being negative, the rubber - I'm...

Finally found the toy/dummy video, which captures the principle the best, imho. I wanted to post it on several occasions already, but couldn't find it.

It is cca 55 on shore O and cca 43 on shore A. When you say 40h you are using shore A. So 3 degrees harder, to me it feels like 1.5 degree harder than H3 BS H41, the sponge is a bit different than DHS sponge. I didn't look closely at the table below. At 1st glance I saw things I don't believe...

Absolutely. A defender in the club uses it, with different sponges (bought OX, used with special sponge). Dinosaur rubber - that's cool. Other rubbers, like H3, and H8 (I've only used H8-80) have very good durability too. That is the last thing that should worry you.

I know a player, most likely older than you or even lodro, who plays "defender" style. You also don't need to play those long chopping motions, which require precise position. What's your stronger side? Put short-pips on the stronger side, put long-pips on the weaker one, stand sort of in the...

Cool, thanks. Can you please measure the HL5, HL5x, and ehh, if you be so kind, also the FZD blade thickness please :-).

Oh yes, I didn't look in there. Some time ago I measured these blades I have some rubbers on: Vodak Horejsi ALC - 5,85mm cca 1290Hz Viscaria - 5,6mm cca 1450Hz XVT ZL Koto - 6mm cca 1500Hz Yinhe V16 - 6mm cca 1550Hz (outer ALC, limba top) I measured with rel. cheap plastic dingee, but it is...

What's the thickness, 5,8mm? Vodak Horejsi ALC is 5,8mm, same composition, cca 1290Hz. I thought the increase in stiffness is due to being thicker, so I thought W968 will be 6mm. But when I saw Wrighty67's photo in another thread (HL5, HL5x, W968) it may not be the case.

It's in my head...
