I've watched this video before, can't get enough of it! He's definitely keeping his elbow down most of the time and rotating is forearm around it with a big movement and snap, it's very classic except for the large motion, loaded with spin and often with a lot of power too! The crazy part is...

Just wait 3 to 5 years. Even smaller and denser pimples than T19! 😁

My friend/training partner in the US came to visit Europe and trained at TTPor (just before joining me at the 2018 TT World Cup in Paris) and he was very impressed with his time there. I wish I could have gone with him and have a chance to train there myself one day.

Both great blades, and they are very similar indeed. Same composition for instance. The Korbel Japan is a little bit thicker/stiff (5.9mm) than the Virtuoso + (5.8mm) which is a bit more flexible. With the Virtuoso, you can choose your headsize, whereas the Korbel is a little larger than...

Yea, this is a bit scary, because they are health concerns with tung oil... Also, once supposedly hardened in your rubber, I highly suspect that it would damage your blade or at least change its characteristics, making it harder and stiff too. This claim that making your rubber harder would...

The regular size racket in his hand looks like a mini-sized racket in anybody's hand.

You have a lab? Which Palio rubber did you use? You also don't explain how you applied it... One thin layer on the sponge and that's it, or more? How many hours did you let it dry? Even if the sponge is hardened, how's the Palio's topsheet supposed to match Dignics?

Looks like he's back, this time from Downtown Brazil.

Until very recently he was using the Apolonia ZLC ST with Dignics 09C forehand and Dignics 05 backhand, before that a Viscaria. He's now playing with a custom Butterfly blade (don't know the composition but probably Inner ZLC) with Viscaria ST handle (no Viscaria logo) with Dignics rubbers (most...

I highly recommend the OSP Virtuoso + or the Korbel Japan as a step back from ALC Outer. The Xiom Offensive S also comes to mind. If you wanted to stay with carbon, the Apolonia ZLC or IF ZLC. The Stiga Infinity VPS and Rosewood V are actually considered to be fast but are quite stiff, even...

Great video! Even though I don't understand Korean, the coach is so good at showing the correct and wrong movements from different angles that it's easy to understand what he's teaching. Her FH is looking very good, not much shoulder there, good use of the forearm. Her BH is another story...

Thank you for sharing, wasn't aware of his list.

Yes, and many people on the forum have as well. You could contact the store first about customs before you decide to purchase or not. I'm sure they've shipped to India before and probably know what's up.

Great thread, video and comments that everyone can benefit from as a player or coach! Something I've fixed before but I've caught myself doing again, too much damn shoulder!!! So I'm working on it effectively again thanks to this.

It's a problem with the site, they will be fixing it soon.

I think Xiom Vega Intro, Elite or Europe would be fine for him too. Asia DF might be a little too fast especially on Mazunov.

Take that up to TTD! Lol

Pretty much all pre-made rackets are terrible and cost the same and sometimes more than good custom setups that a store will glue for you for free. Pre-mades are a waste of money and will not allow you to develop more finesse or much of anything else, and you'll probably end up buying better...

You can order the Palio AK47 Blue from that site I linked to, they ship to India. Otherwise, the only rubbers I would recommend from your list are the Yasaka Mark V. All the others listed are not very good.

I agree that speed is relative, yes. It does matter on what kind of shots you judge it by too. To me, T05's topsheet feels the hardest, and I find it to be the outward fastest of the Tenergy's especially for topspins, whereas Butterfly says T64 is the fastest overall... I do however think that...
