If we just were as good as one rally per set could make us look like :p (not created with a soft sponge but rather victas v20de)

i can totally understand your issue against opponents that only push. I got a similar "training partner" who will only push or do very "wild" smashes from angles that are basically deemed to fail, but once in a while he manages to simply smash a loop so that the ball will actually land back on...

😂

By hardness it would be XH I think

I explicitly said that I don't know the weight of beginner rubbers, so I could only advise on lightweight rubbers which are not beginner rubbers. I recommended the thinnest ones to keep the weight even more down and minimize the catapult effect of these rubbers, which will be a big change to the...

The yasaka Sweden extra is a sound choice. I didn't know the weight of most beginner rubbers, so I will name two rubbers that are light and not too demanding, if you choose them in the thinnest available version: Xiom omega 7 Europe is soft and light. Another light rubber is Victas v11 extra.

I don't know how sensible it is to teach beginners strokes with non-tensors if it is very apparent that he will not be playing Chinese or classic rubbers. There might be some advantages to that approach, but these might not outweigh the advantages of learning to control faster and more catapulty...

V20 double extra is not really a hybrid (regardless of victas' marketing language) because it does not have the very good short game you would find on the Rakza Z or similar. Additionally it is not tacky at all. If we are simply on the hunt for controllable Tensors, then the Victas v20 extra...

Iirc it is on discount on tabletennis11 for 48€ currently

Damnit ! You made me just purchase one, even though i had one with the SG grip which i sold more than a year ago.

P1 will not be significantly faster and Vega Pro is definitely not faster and too similar to the G-1

Dignics is WAY harder to play and consistently activate. If the op said he wanted something better for the short game, then I would understand this advice, but since he wants something overall faster and easier to activate speed I would propose the Nittaku Genextion. Faster speed, similar Spin...

I don't think it is very helpful to use many different rubbers even rubber types like pimples out and stuff, because you first of need to learn by heart how the ball behaves in regular circumstances. Only if you have that down you could theoretically do some pimples out experiment, but that...

I am not the comparison matrix you are searching for, but having played G-1 and Hammond Z2, I would choose the later for a mid distance to distance game

this depends on the blade you use it with. If your blade is (too)fast i could even see you using a Nittaku PK50 Sieger, simply because it is VERY controlled in the short game and you would need to put quite some effort in to overshoot the table, because it is not easy to activate.

faster and easier to activate iirc : Yasaka Rakza Z slower and harder to activate: Nittaku PK50 Sieger

There should be enough cheap 5 Ply woods available from Tibhar and DHS as well. Just get something in the range of alround+ to offensive- .Rubberwise I would not go the Chinese road because it will lead to very bad habits without coaching.

If you don't want to get better quickly, then the best way is to choose an outer carbon blade like a Viscaria with one side T05 which will be too bouncy for you to control and the other side dignics 09c which is so hard that you won't be able to activate it. Or you simply stick with your setup...

buy a cheap and proper 5ply wood like a yasaka sweden extra and spend the money saved on proper rubbers. Why do you f' around with stupid other peoples chinese rubbers who are the worst you could give to somebody without coaching. if you even fail to push consistently with these chinese...

yes, it is the very latest rubber from nittaku and said to be the successor to the hammond z2 rubber. it is a little harder with its 52.5° sponge, but its not hard to activate sponge, the spin is pretty good and it is easy to loop underspin. Basically an evolution of the g-1 i would say. There...
