How about a barbed design that is narrower at the bottom and gets wider to the top. That way it can fit a variety of diameters and you just push it lower for wider holes and not so far for narrower holes.
So I've used the PK50 for about two months now and can give an update. When new the PK50 is very tacky. It will hold a ball for about a second. As it wears the tackiness goes away but slowly. The grip will slowly diminsh as the speed goes up. It doesn't drop off like Dragon Grip where one...
It doesn't have to be exactly "varnish". It can be any type of sealer for wood. I just use polyurethane from Home Depot. My wood never splinters when I change rubber and helps to eliminate stains on the handle from your sweat.
I noticed a big difference when I changed from Badminton/Volleyball shoes to proper TT shoes. The badminton shoes were too stiff and the volleyball shoes were a little heavier and higher center of gravity than TT shoes. I move much quicker with TT shoes.
Of course depending on your playing...
I agree with reducing spin but comparing rallies today to before it doesn't look like speed has changed much. At least not in my calibrated eye. :cool:
Very true. Sadly we live in a world where attention spans are less than 30 sec and anything complicated and difficult is passed over. Another reason why baseball is declining too. Then pickleball with very little skill required is exploding. I'd rather watch paint dry then a pickleball match.
You do realize why they changed to the larger ball??? It's supposed to make it easier for spectators to see the ball in hopes of attracting a wider audience. There wasn't anyone watching TT so ITTF had nothing to lose. I don't know the statistics before/after to know if the change helped or...
I never said it was the fastest blade. It is very much in the higher ranges vs all other blades.
H3 is definitely too slow for me. Which is why I choose K3 for my FH. I don't have good enough footwork or stamina to use H3.
Isn't ML5 like one of the fastest blades out there? If you don't mind giving up some tackiness try changing rubber first. Hurricane 3 is really slow because of the tack. Keep in mind if you lose tack you will lose some spin so your shots might sail long. Which means your stroke needs to change.
I've been using the Donic Blue for a few years now. Love it. You only need one coat and it sticks even boosted curved rubbers. Removing rubber is easy and can even restick without applying more glue.
I don't understand how people like Revolution. I hated it. It didn't stick at all and I...
I've thought about this since a long time ago. Being an engineer I've always wanted to quantify TT equipment performance but haven't been able to simplify it down. I'm sure it can be done but it will take a lot of effort.
The problem with rating system now is that it's all subjective. People...
