Yeah, Liam is no Fan Zhendong. If he ever wants to resemble someone like Gacina, Liam should hit the gym more often and eat steak :-)

I cannot believe people are recommending fast catapulty tensors or to self-tune/boost DHS rubbers to a beginner (no offence to OP) ... because Shriver or Mark V are "too slow".

Will Stiga ever begin to manufacture blades with the same level of polish as other TT blade manufacturers?

Recommending blades is even harder than rubbers because they feel so differently. Plus some people select their blades based on handle appearance, or depending on what equipment is used by the current world champ :-) Butterfly Primorac OFF- seems to be a very popular choice among developing...

Sriver g3 is a good rubber for a developing player. One way to minimize unexpected results when getting a new rubber is asking your fellow club members to let you have a knock with their bats, and then deciding which you like best. I'd also recommend changing only rubbers first and keeping your...

What rubbers/blade have you got now?

There is nothing wrong with Mark V. Some of the best players in the top division of our local league use it and have no problems generating both spin and speed. It is also a very durable rubber, more durable than many modern tensor/tensioned rubbers. You wrote that a) your FH loops are spinny...

Sounds like you're contradicting your own previous post ... anyhow, it is a matter of subjective personal preference, so peace.

I've used Vega Pro in 2.0 mm thickness a couple of years ago, and had no problem generating spin ...

Amazingly, Liam did not have a coach during this match v Kenta. How can this happen?

And he takes the 7th 14:12!!! Dan, you've got to re-interview Liam after this.

Go Liam! 7th game, Liam is 8:7 ahead!

Another excellent review - good job. Did you really mean that the topsheet is tacky (similar to a typical Chinese rubber) or just very grippy?

It is specifically designed to appeal to those who believe that equipment matters more than training. Like i-Device Gold:

Nice! That's how it is done :-)

Butterfly Zhang Jike Super ZLC OFF+ Table at £314.99? Not a chance. Anyone buying this needs psychiatric help.

Fast and heavy :-) If you can control it, you will be unstoppable.

I've played with Vega Pro in 2.0mm thickness for more than a year in the past, 2-3 sessions a week on average. Changed my rubbers every 5-6 months, so no complaints about durability. As to the thickness recommendation, Vega Pro is only available in 1.8, 2.0 and 2.3 (MAX) thickness. I have...

Regluing with water based glue will have zero effect on rubber surface grip.

Thanks for the explanation! Please keep up the good reviewing work! It is very rare that we can see the same high-level player player review different rubber families at length and in detail, bringing out the subtle differences between them. It would be great if you could continue by reviewing...
