    Yep, we don't even know how long he's been playing for, in a club or casually, if he trains and how... he's actually only said what just about anyone could say about their game... Why take the time to help someone if they won't even take the time themselves.
  2. ask

    That's still not saying much. Most of us are amateur players here, ranging from beginner, low, mid, high intermediate to elite (just before pro) with a majority identifying as attackers. Re-read my post and answer some of those questions. If you're lazy about asking for advice, people are going...

    I bought it used.
  4. ask

    You're going to have to give us more background info... how long you've been playing, in what setting, what your current blade is, why you want to change... or we can't give you accurate recommendations tailored to you. Instead, you're going to get random suggestions out the wazoo, exemple: -...
  5. Rubber for nittaku acoustic

    You're welcome! It's going to be a great setup. Let us know how you fare with it in the future. The Nittaku Acoustic will last you years or a lifetime, such a great blade (Ma Long used it years ago). A few years from now, you can start boosting your H3N on the FH, and upgrade your BH rubber...
  6. New Equipment 2021

    Correction: The Boll Forte 2021 is much slower than the previous Boll Forte which was comparable in speed with the SK7 Classic and the Omar Assar blades. The new Boll Forte and the Mezzoforte are both slower than the Primorac Europe and Japan. The Boll Fortissimo is slightly faster than the...
  7. New Equipment 2021

    Updated look for the Butterfly Boll Forte (much needed). + 2 new blades: Boll Fortissimo (harder, faster) and Boll Mezzoforte (medium hardness, slower). All Made in Hungary.
  8. Difference between Viscaria, TB ALC, and ZJK ALC?

    8's a lot, yet I expected even more! lol Good to hear your impressions. I've been meaning to read the thread you're referring to in detail. The Viscaria I had several years ago felt terrible, vibrations like a frying pan, same weight (85g) as the one I'm using now (bought used for 60€) which...
  9. Freitas Alc VS Timo Boll Alc

    Hi, The Freitas ALC is a slightly updated (slightly thicker) version of the Maze ALC. Although The Freitas ALC has a limba outer ply, it is thicker (6.0mm) than the TB ALC (5.8mm koto) which makes it more stiff with a crisp feeling and more vibrations than the TB ALC. It's faster and more...
  10. Difference between Viscaria, TB ALC, and ZJK ALC?

    What's the most Viscarias you had at one given time? With the three you've kept, have you noticed they have more straight lines in the wood grain, are more cream or yellow color rather than white, have a high pitch or low pitch sound when bouncing the ball on them without rubbers? Could you...
  11. Rubber for nittaku acoustic

    Hi Sam, yes I've played with G1 (I really like the Fastarc series). It's a high-end top of the line rubber that rivals with T05, and it's been the best selling rubber in Japan for the past 5 years. No wonder many pros and high level players in Japan, Nittaku-sponsored and not, use it. It has a...
  12. Rubber for nittaku acoustic

    Really depends if you want to learn more of a Chinese forehand stroke or a European/Japanese one, and how much work you're willing to put in for better results in the long run, or if you want more immediate results. Plus if your friends use Euro/Japanese rubbers and you train with them, might be...
  13. Nittaku C1 vs Butterfly Rozena

    I've already answered this question. Rozena and C1 are both 45 degrees sponge hardness, with C1's topsheet feeling a bit harder. Tenergy FX is 42-43 degrees, with 05's topsheet feeling hardest, then 80 then 64.
  14. Rubber for nittaku acoustic

    Thanks for the background info, it helps in giving you more accurate recommendations tailored to your needs. It's good you're running drills with your friends, remember to run random drills on top of set ones and also play matches so you can practice what you learn in a more random offsetting...
  15. Rubber for nittaku acoustic

    Just a reminder that he's only been playing casually for 2 years... before we recommend super fast professional rubbers like Dignics, G1 or boosted H3... It's fine if you use them, doesn't mean they're for everyone. Be considerate of someone's level and where they're at in their TT journey.
  16. Nittaku C1 vs Butterfly Rozena

    C1 is definitely more spinny than Rozena. No opposing view there! :)
  17. Which blade I choose?

    Wow, I see, this sucks.
  18. Which blade I choose?

    Yea Xiom Offensive S would be a good option but a little more expensive maybe. Check out tabletennis11.com
  19. Rubber for nittaku acoustic

    Isn't Seamoon supposed to last 2-3 months? How long does Falco last?
  20. Rubber for nittaku acoustic

    Just curious, I've typically heard people say Seamoon booster is better for boosting Chinese rubbers. Have you tried it vs. Falco?
