the PK50 is definitely tacky.

Seth Pech, who was rated above 2400 in US some time ago has a current QTTR of 1993 playing in germany in the 3rd team of Hilpoltstein.

so i just checked my stash and i got a XIOM Hugo Calderano HAL with G-1 in 2.0mm and Joola GTPS in 2.0 weighing in at 174g. I remember measuring the frequency to be about 1400 Hz and even when playing i can notice that it is faster than my DHS HL-5 (which weigh 90g)

That That is the first time I hear about this issue. Do you have a source?

i think i still got one lying around. will check later

Hi guys, today i will post a few videos which i will remove again after i got the feedback in here. Since i have had my fair share of training with a proper trainer i think i do have a pretty good understanding of all the things i can work on and the list has more than 10 items definitely...

As other indicated there are two ways the ball can be returned. You just need to know which was used. Contacting the ball on the spinning part of the ball will give back your spin, but contacting it on the south Pole where the ball does not spin, will keep the direction of the rotation the...

Hitting balls with your forehand is way easier because you hit them next to your body basically diagonally and shifted to one side, while with the backhand you hit them coming straight at you. A ball flying straight at you only gives you parameter to guess its distance which is its size. That...

I definitely know that situation when you play too cowardly because you don't want to make your team lose by doing too many errors. I surely have this mode of my doubles partner is wildly attacking himself but losing many points like this. I always think "if i start losing that many points as...

I think it is pretty pointless to complain about illegal serves, because even in the higher german leagues (which have an umpire for every match) they never get called out. There are even players that really learned to exactly hold the passive hand infront of the ball when they hit it on the...

I think it similar for most "beginners" that doubles feels easier to them. The points you raised are valid and i would add a few perhaps unnoticed ones regarding doubles. - if you perform badly and give weak or attackable returns, your team partner can either even that out by being very good...

if my recollection does not fool me then the MK Pro is really more for faster and more powerfull loops while engaging the sponge. Playing a brushing loop without engaging the sponge too much seemed hard to me with the MK Pro. on another note i would not judge rubbers and their properties in too...

tbh the way you recorded it and the angle the ball leaves the racket looks to me as if you shoot every ball into the net (if that little bit of table we can see is actually the table you are playing on). Might be the vantage point, but it really looks like you have a rather flat hit and that...

Blade arrived safely and in prestine condition yesterday. Thank you vvk1

SG and LG Versions still have a slimmer with than w968 for instance

i can only try to compare the Acoustic vs the HAL and the later is a total different category of speed. Using the same technique in loops the HAL will produce lower arc and make the ball fly closer to the end of the table or even overshoot it. I would recommend the Acoustic, if you are ok with...

Let me just give my 2 pence here. I was playing the Stiga Cybershape Wood and then bought e DHS HL-5 out of curiosity. I thought "hey, when i get good enough, i can upgrade to the HL-5". I then tested both on a robot, especially the short game, because that is what i thought would be less...

Even though it might really be psychological, don't think that training translates to matches instantly. For me it take around 6 months for something that I somehow mastered in Training to translate to matchplay.

How much will Shipping to germany be?

I think you could already guess that the g-1 would be the logical choice here, but you need to change your technique coming from the pk50. Pk50 is not only affected by humidity, but also by cold temperatures. Below 15 degrees Celsius it starts to feel like concrete and the will be no catapult at...
