This is him, correct? https://www.butterfly.co.jp/players/detail/oya-hidetoshi.html He's playing doubles tomorrow?

Hey, do you have any pics of your coach playing at the All Japan 2021? Also, what equipment does he currently use?

You bet!

He added his review to the first post.

Dima posted this photo on his instagram account. Looks like the design for the handle has been finalized by him and Butterfly, hard to make out much of it yet but we should get better looks soon when new videos of him training emerge. It's likely the blade will be released in April (1st or...

The new Victas SWAT design is looking good!

Hi, I'm going to answer you via Private Message. Cheers

Stick to the same rubbers you are using now and do not switch to a carbon blade, you will loose a ton of feel and control and it will be way too fast.

Good to hear. It's a very good setup with plenty speed that will really give you confidence and help you become a better player. You will learn in time to add speed to your game by using your legs and core more, shifting power from one side to the other. Practice hard and enjoy!

MX-P is the fastest, followed by T05. G-1 is the least fast and most linear of the 3, also the least bouncy and the most controllable. MX-P and G-1 are 47.5 deg, T05 is a bit softer between 46-47 deg.

If you want the next step up in speed from Stiga but with plenty control still, these 3 blades will do: Azalea Allround, Allround Evolution and Offensive Classic.

I'm also in my late thirties and in average shape and my Primorac OFF- thin 5-ply blade is plenty fast enough when I use my body right to generate a good stroke. Control, feel and spin are much more important than speed: we can all figure out a way to do something faster but only when we know...

If you like Rakza X, you can often find it for around $35 which is not bad. If you want a 45 degree rubber without the mushiness of say M2, Vega Japan or Fastarc C1 are very good.

Didn't you use to wave a Brazil flag on your profile before? And now the the flag of Taiwan. Just curious.

I will also add that some coaches however high level they might be and how good they are at teaching you the game, may in fact know next to nothing when it comes to equipment other than what they use and a bit more. I've met many such coaches, and much higher level players than me that asked me...

I think you gave us some good background info. Since you have only played for a year, I strongly recommend you get a 5-ply all-wood blade in the ALL+/OFF- region. As a beginner and as you've mentioned, you can't exactly gage the speed and control factors of a blade, which means you haven't...

Heck, I'd try it...

Dignics 09C

If you like Baracuda and Genius and they work for you, stay with them. They're excellent rubbers and they work well with the 40+ ball. No need to look elsewhere really...

Korbel is an excellent blade, plenty fast enough, that's why some pros use it. Coupled with Rozena on both sides, it's an excellent setup for developing your strokes. In 2-3 years, you can stay with the Korbel and upgrade your rubbers to Tenergy. Enjoy the game and process!
