  1. Improving shot selection

    Sup, I know this is kind of basic, but basics are foundation of every rally. I am experiencing some issues in matchplay where I pick wrong shot for incoming ball. I either loop the ball as if it was underspin ball when the ball is empty etc. Most notably I have issues trying looping high balls...
  2. Lifespan of Zylon (PBO)

    Do still use that hexer? PS: Do you do these quotes by hand or do you use a generator?
  3. Inner Carbon Blades

    Message me priv, I will tell you a secret.
  4. Can a late starter become a quality veteran player?

    Agreed, it's a matter of environment and resolution. The more love and effort you put in, the more and quicker you develop. I love that feeling of beating opponents I couldn't previously.
  5. Inner Carbon Blades

    I have a strong feeling that you will end up with Ebenholz VII or equivalent. You mentioned numerous times that you want linear performance, and any carbon blade does not meet that requirement. They are linear but usually only when you surpass a certain threshold. What I mean is that you have to...
  6. Lifespan of Zylon (PBO)

    Whether you seal or not it won't change your blade overnight. If that is your daily driver, I doubt one will notice. Just enjoy what you like. If a blade is ZLC but after 5-10 years it deteriorates so much, that you don't like it anymore. It's still great value/time/enjoyment, even if the blade...
  7. Loki Rubbers

    I just copied specs from their shop. http://www.lokisport.se/stommar/god-of-war-i Maybe the specs changed over the time.
  8. Can a late starter become a quality veteran player?

    You can always try.. What's the worst that can happen? You are going to have a good time. That doesn't sound that bad. Get a coach though.

  11. Inner Carbon Blades

    I think I will just get my butt over to the UK, take my blade collection, and invite the guy for a pint (an alcohol-free for me lolz), and let the guy have a go.
  12. Inner Carbon Blades

    Then I hope my little comparison of outer/inner almost exact same blade will help fuel that ;)
  13. Inner Carbon Blades

    That's true, I build tt blades in my free time. Keep in mind that hybrid composite materials are more expensive. Where I buy them, almost twice the price. By hybrid I mean weave of two materials. I didn't notice the balsa part. Playing with balsa is a different story. I hadn't either made or...
  14. Inner Carbon Blades

    Fair enough. Table tennis gear is about personal feelings, and not really absolute properties. It's easy to nerd out about gear, but its more about what you feel when you play. I have two blades in a very similar weight, both almost exact the same composition, the only variable being where the...
  15. Inner Carbon Blades

    If you have played with them, what are your thoughts of them. Why ask for opinion if you already tested them <insert thinking emote here>
  16. Inner Carbon Blades

    I haven't used any XVT gear, but knowing how much materials cost I would be wary of quality. BTW OP was curious about inner carbon blades, but had played with inner fiber blades (I remember him talking about Ma Lin Soft Carbon). He hadn't played with the outer blade though. That's why I...
  17. DHS Neo rubbers vs normal boosted

    It's not bout bounciness or softness only. The feeling changes. Maybe I am oversensitive though. Boosted tacky rubbers feels different than most hybrids or "softer tacky rubbers" I've used in the past. If you want it, you can try Haifu Seamoon, its for 18$ on Aliexpress. Shipping takes a while...
  18. Share your Racket's Photo

    It's not a review thread. It's table tennis gear porn thread. I think we would all benefit if revoldia review were placed in their own respective thread. It would be much easier to find if someone was looking for than post 743 of image thread :| Just saying.
  19. Inner Carbon Blades

    Just buy V14 Pro from Yinhe (cheapest/best quality per dollar) blade and find out for yourself if you really want to know it. There is more to how blade feels than where the carbon is placed. There is also carbon quality, type, thickness, density (how much g/m^2) weave, placement, and probably...
  20. Joola Energon, Nobilis, Zelebro and Quattro Carbon Blades

    I've used ZeLeBRO PBO-C for some time this week, and I agree. It's fast but not too fast. Very controllable. I've used it with Xiom Vega China and Vega X. Those are not the fastest rubbers in the world. I love how PBO-C (ZLC?) feels in blocking and looping. It has very nice feel. It's not the...
