Give him spinny boy and follow it up with fast kill or vice versa. Repeat. If he doesn't have pips and is blocking with inverted. He will have to adjust constantly. The spin variation will help you. You can do everything in between to throw him off his game. Just don't do the same thing a few...

I've been using Tenergy 05 on backhand on my main setup for more than 4 months now. I don't feel it is spin sensitive at all (but I don't consider Vega X spin sensitive either and I've read people think it is).

How much variance are you in terms of speed and speed are you giving this player? Are you doing only full power smash/drive?

More or less yes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtduZ5mc1bw, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2JRWsTGOZw This video talks more about the concept. It's not worth exaggerating this movement too much, but if you see how Ma Long or other pros hit the ball, you can see how they transfer energy...

If those chopers do not use pips, consider using heavy topspin +/- sidespin serves or fast empty/topspin serves. Those are hard to push. If your opponent either gives you an empty ball back or attacks the ball. Both outcomes should be handleable.

This depends also on the blade I think. Different rubbers interface differently with different rubbers. My favorite would be any hard Chinese tacky rubber. Think Battle 2, Jupiter 2, Hurricane 3 (I prefer them in at least provincial version). When boosted they are even better. Unless boosted...

My first coach taught me that power comes with loose muscles (difficult translation). He taught me to star movement from the legs and empower it with upper body and hand muscles not the other way around. Took me a lot of time and slowing down to implement it.

There was very similar case earlier. If I find it I will post link here. Your upper body looks tense. Is your left hand tensioned? I had similar problem when my left arm was so tense it affected right hand and upper body. My coach pointed this to me, and work on losing that tension helped me...

I echo this comment. With emphasis on RIGHT.

Also, it was harder for me to adapt to a new slower blade. My body for some reason needed more time to learn to put more effort into shots with slower stuff. It usually took about 20hrs to get same ball. Maybe it has to do with that I limited myself with faster stuff to not overshoot the table...

OP `Posted 10-10-2019`, just saying. BTW, Did op make a choice? Would OP mind sharing his decision?

His right leg is so buff.

After 8 hours of training I found Joola Golden Tango PS unusable on FH. It's a decent BH rubber though if someone really wants a semi tacky rubber :| I couldn't adapt to rubber softness.

Rakza Z has ~~50-52 degrees in scale ESN uses Rakze Z EH has 53-57 Your hurricane 3 has 40 degrees shore A, haggis measured those with shore 0 durometer at about 60 Joola Golden tango has also about 50 degrees ESN, and haggis measured those at 55 degrees. Xiom Vega China has advertised hardness...

Speed is not everything. What other observations did you make when switch to HL5. Did you notice improvements in other areas? Did anything felt worse apart from speed and pressure? I am in similar situation, I switched to more flexible blade that has less immediate power and makes me work...

I guess the answer would be stricter regime (I mean sports rigoristic training). Consider reading this article. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?23478-Europeans-Actually-More-Talented-in-Table-Tennis

A product won't just die, because manufacturer released a shinier one. There are usually plenty of people who just like the old one and is not willing to make the switch. Product dies after the global supply runs out. I've heard that Dignics have an issue with breaking sponges.

Keep in mind that Yinhe uses that weird technology where topsheet consists of 2 pieces. It decreases durability in some cases. I punched through the tacky top layer in 3 months. If the rubber costs 15-20$ its not a big deal, you get new and fresh one and its all ok, but if rubber costs 30-40$...

https://stervinou.net/ttbdb/lexik.php There are no types of wood that are outright good or bad.

Using Battle 2 prov right now (for 2-3 weeks). If going for prov version, boost it. Mine came with a reverse dome, and while breaking it in, it was very disconcerting. I think that using it with booster will make this especially this early period easier.
