Went back to look over your timestamped notes again. Really appreciate your detailed analysis. Hopefully i can put up a better game for you.

What should I do about my serves? I really just do a few serves, pendulum serve, underspin serve, and dead ball serve. Reverse pendulum seems too hard for me to do. I don't know many other serves that I can do.

Serve and receive is what decides 50% of game points. Actually, I think this is what drove me away from the sport for 20 years. In many ways, Tennis and Badminton are far more accessible and therefore more enjoyable because you can more easily get into rallies. TT has its own charms as well...

Yes, i can loop against 2k guy if i have a long push. But in game, I usually dont get too many chances. But even against 2k guy, its usually pretty effective.

Good point, I've always had knee and back problems, so I am always a bit stiff in my movements. So I should try to bend more. I didn't get many chances at backhand loops, but maybe next time I can take a video with more BH loops. I'm sure you know, but at this lowly level, a lot of times it's...

Actually I just watched this game, there really wasn't much going on. I need to post a video from a better game. This entire video was basically just me serving and looping.

I don't know when I'll get to play the 2000 guy again, but I'll try to take a video. I hope some new guy comes to become my regular practice partner who is slightly better than me.

Actually my partner was playing at our little club 3 years before me, and I just showed up 9 months ago. For the first 3 or 4 months, he was mostly beating me. My loops had trouble penetrating his defense initially. I don't think this was his best game or mine. A lot of our games look like me...

Alot of people gave me helpful advice on my other thread and asked for some video, so I just took a quick video of 1 little game of me playing. It's not the best, and I'll try to take video of a better game next time. But its something to start with. I also felt that my FH rubber (Loki GTX) felt...

You have never seen Mocker. and I have never seen Mocker. I'm betting completely blind. I completely acknowledge that it is certainly possible to hit faster with H3 than with Tenergy, but my assertation is that most of the population would not hit faster with H3. Although I have never seen...

Is it a fast/bouncy rubber? or is it a "dead" rubber like H3?

Yes I would honor it, hence why I said we send the money into escrow or to a 3rd party paypal account. The bet was that Mocker could loop faster with H3 (not Ma Long). And does Kevin Wang play H3 boosted? Because the bet clearly states H3 new and unboosted.

I would be interested to hear how their top rubbers compare to top rubbers from Palio, Yinhe, Friendship, etc.

If I'm wrong, at least I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is. Are you willing to take the bet? If you are right, I'm literally just giving you free money. Where is the downside for you.

Well then make the bet. I dont think they would use H3 without booster and speed glue.

Well that's the essence of the question isn't it. My point is that on this issue, it IS black and white. H3 is slower than Tenergy. that's my bet. If i'm wrong, then I pay.

So are you taking the other side of the bet?

Right, that's why I said maybe he is 2500 and maybe I'll lose my money because he can access the topend speed. But I like my chances that for almost anybody on the planet, Tenergy will be faster. So i'd be willing to put up the money and bet with anybody here on the forum on the outcome. We...

Now I'm really curious. Can you post a video of you hitting with H3 (new and unboosted) and hitting with Tenergy (new and unboosted) where the H3 is faster? I have no idea your level, maybe you are 2500+. But even blindly, I'd gladly take bets with anybody that youre forehand loop/drive will...

Well yeah, if you really want to be precise and you are comparing Tenergy vs Dignics, you need benchmarks and precise measurements. But I'm talking about rubbers with enormous gaps in their properties. H3 and Tenergy is beyond obvious which is faster. You don't need to test all different...
