I do get your point, but if your profile is up to date, then you using the Joola GTPS has probably more to do with the controllability of that setup during the short game than the blade ;) Of course I can take the fastest blade and put an unboosted hurricane on it and make it controllable. You...

You can always speed up your game by using different rubbers. A blade uncontrollable in the short game will not need easily tamed by slower rubbers without severely limiting your attacking options

I would try G-1 on fh and Glayzer on bh. Both have similar hardness and you can experience better what fits where. I don't like the c-1 because of its bounciness

If FZD and Ma Long warm up they play diagonally which than makes the right leg be behind the left leg if you consider the diagonal direction their body is facing. The path of the ball being played is orthogonal to the core/base of the player, while the right leg will be set back more far away...

For loops and drive you want to have the leg of you hitting hand slightly back, so that a shift of weight from the right to the left leg gives you forward momentum. If you are parallel the weight shift is pointless because the momentum of the hip movement would be sideways.

you ought to think about what you can get when you move on from the G-1. For me moving from the G-1 to Rakza Z made the short game much easier, but i was feeling that the G-1 was in the sweet spot for my topspin technique. I could generate good amount of spin and my topspin loops inside matches...

If you want to sacrifice speed for spin coming from the FastArc G-1 then you can go with either Rakza Z or Nittaku PK50 Sieger. Both are less bouncy and speedy and can produce better amounts of spin, but you will have to work for it sometimes, because the sponge is harder

Apart from what was already written the G-1 can generate more spin, while the vega x is probably faster

Don't know about that, but the regular evolution line is supposed to be the commercial version

No, the proposed setup sounds like a recommendation of an old guy that tells you tales from yesteryear. The blades are fine, but there is no point for a beginner to use a hurricane rubber which will make learning topspin harder and force you to learn a technique that is different than the...

I think you buying too many cheap AliExpress bat clones skewed your perception what QA costs. I don't think that QA is half of the production cost of a rubber.

To my knowledge this is simply a more quality controlled version of the regular evolution series targeted at professionals.

I just checked and the Rakza Z seemed slightly more sticky.

I saw this somewhere, but I thought it was broke non on the other side with just a string knotted to the other end

Here is a little short video that I just uploaded to show the difference of bounciness between PK50 and Rakza Z. Left PK50 2.0mm on HL-5, right Rakza Z 2.0mm on W968 provincial.

on low impact shots you have next to no catapult and you will need some time to adjust to that. If you are weak and have bad endurance that might not be for you. On the other side you can place balls extremely short with it.

I think these are some interesting thoughts. Of course it is a common understanding that beginners should start of with slower non-carbon equipment, but I don't think that this is always the best way. If you start with table tennis late and you go the conventional route by using slow equipment...

Pk 50 Sieger is the only one available in less than 2.0mm. PK50 Sieger is slower and less catapulty than rakza Z. So it is pretty spinny but controlled in speed. Rakza Z is on a shortage for several months already. You can still buy it from nishohi in Japan. They ship to Europe in less than a week

They are similar enough to not really care. I found the Rakza Z a bit spinnier. Especially on the backhand. I would use the Joola on the forehand rather

Vega X is one of the bounciest rubbers there is in that hardness range. If that is an issue, better go for something less bouncy like G-1 or even rakza Z, Joola GTPS or Nittaku PK 50 Sieger. The list is sorted by bounciness (later being less bouncy)
