I don't think that your statements refute mine or my statements refute yours. In my club there are players who play in the Greek Pro A2 league and at the National 1 in France. Actually one of them uses Fukuhara blade as well (the blade I use) So I gave them my racket to tell me an opinion about...

What you're saying, actually proves my point: For the average club player Rakza Z EH might feel the same or even spinier than H3 (while it's obvious that H3 is way spinier), because they don't have the appropriate technique and body mechanics But if you ask a pro player to test, he will...

Only 3 layers of of varnish? Why not 10 ? Then you could wash the blade, scrub it, mop it, put it in the washing machine...

Let me put it this way: For me a rubber is spinnier than another one, given the same amount of effort. If a rubber in order to activate it's speed and spin, requires the strokes of Ma Long, then it's not for the average user. This is exactly the case with Chinese rubbers like H3 you mention...

I've tested Rakza Z on my FH, with a Ai Fukuhara Pro ZLF blade. My overall mini-review: Tackiness: It's indeed semi-tacky, but not as tacky as usual Chinese rubbers like H3. As soon as I opened the package, I placed a ball on the table, pressed the rubber on it and I was able to lift it for a...

"I love the smell of Napalm in the morning...";);););)

I think it depends on the age that you start. I've started playing at the age of 39 (now I'm 45), but for the last 6 years I've been training very hard, 4-5 times a week, 2-3 hours per day with drills and training kids that are playing at very high level. I'm in very good physical condition...

I'm using Tibhar duo. See the description about the different adhesiveness of each side. https://www.tibhar.com/en/product/selbstklebefolie-duo/ They are a bit expensive, but as I change my rubbers once or twice a year, I think the cost is almost nothing. There several glues that are...

I've removed numerous rubbers from glue sheets but none of them has ever been torn or the sponge separated from the topsheet. But the only rubbers that I've used with glue sheets are Vega Pro and Rakza 7, that have quite thick and dense sponge. I've never used very porous sponges. Glue sheets...

NEVER remove the glue sheet with the rubber TOGETHER It's then impossible to remove the sheet from the rubber, without destroying it or damaging the sponge. What I always do is remove the rubber but I leave the glue sheet on the blade, then VERY CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY I remove the sheet from the...

It's true that glue sheets are more popular with OX users, since it's a real bitch to glue them with normal glue. And while I've heard all the arguments that you mention about glue (elasticity, spring effect etc) I do not agree at all. I've been using glue for many years and I find no...

Well, I had the same question but nobody gave me a clear, answer! And believe me I've asked professional coaches, forums even on line coaches like EMRatThich What I can tell you for sure, is that I've been using glue sheets for the last 2 years and I'm not going back to normal glue! Gluing is...

Use glue sheets instead of glues. Faster, cleaner and stronger bond. https://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/tibhar-self-adhesive-film-duo

I've been playing with Vega Pro for almost 3 years and I'm completely happy with them, apart from the fact that they are a bit too heavy. For the last month I've been using Vega X, as an upgrade to to Vega Pro. Vega X uses exactly the same sponge with Vega Pro, but is has a new top sheet. My...

Having a door or window always open so that the playing area is well ventilated, that's definitely a big help for keeping humidity low.

With 85% humidity it's impossible to play. The more people in a room, the higher the humidity of the room, From my experience, if humidity rises above 58-60%, the ball is starting to "drop" in topspins. The ONLY WAY to deal with humidity is a dehumidifier. In our club where I train we have 4...

Scotch Brite is not steel wool. It's consisted of some type of synthetic fibers. https://www.fishersci.com/shop/products/3m-scotch-brite-heavy-duty-scouring-pad-86-size-22-86-x-15-24cm-9-x-6-in/19177849

I would use Scotch Brite instead of sandpaper: It will do the trick of removing the varnish and it will be milder for the upper layer of the wood.

What i haven't figured out about Rakza Z, is if it's closer to ESN rubbers or closer to Chinese rubbers. Some say that it's faster than Rakza 7, while others say that it's slower that.
