  1. Manufacturer speed ratings vs Revspin ratings

    And even then, only with a range of impacts - from very low to very high. :-)
  2. new Blade because of wrist problems

    Hi LittleSeki, if I recall correctly there have been suggestions to try to adapt your technique to alleviate stressing your wrist. That's what I tried, and it works for me. I also train people with wrist and hand injuries (tendons, mostly); some of them wear hand or wrist braces when playing...
  3. Pro tips from Philipp Floritz, former GER National player (block, shortgame)

    I have learned some things today. Thanks!
  4. Donic Bluestorm Pro/Pro AM

    In all fairness I think Baracuda deserves a mention. It might be an outlier, but it’s Donic and. It. Lasts.
  5. How does Nittaku Fastarc G1 compare to Goldarc 8?

    Yes, G1 lasts long, and GA8 has the typical short ESN lifespan.
  6. How does Nittaku Fastarc G1 compare to Goldarc 8?

    I’ve used GA8 50° on my FH, and have settled on G1 since then. The softer GA8 too, but I liked that a bit less. (Still liked it, though.) They definitely play (and feel) different. The harder GA8 is a beast, immensely powerful in counterloops. I think its topsheet is a bit softer than G1...
  7. Advice for intermediate player needed

    Opinions are like, erm, earlobes. Everybody’s got one or two. That said, yay for the Sweden Extra, and as the butter flies I’d choose the Korbel over the Primorac by a narrow margin. Xiom’s Offensive S is also a fine blade, a close kin. Vega Pro: excellent.
  8. Most Lopsided Head-to-Head

    I sense the Spirit of Zeio stirring.
  9. SDC Handmade Blades

    A challenge because it also had to be that thin?
  10. Let rules

    I say we just play, have fun and don't bother ourselves all that much with who gets which points. Because it doesn't really matter all that much who wins, but obsessing over it does impede the fun.
  11. Let rules

    A wet ball leaves a wet spot after contact. And it really happens, no armpits involved; wet hands, sweat drops falling on ball, table… Players commonly glance at their bat after an inexplicable miss, where the ball just fell off instead of getting gripped and coaxed into trajectory. Many...
  12. Glueing

    They get marginally thinner. You won't notice anything. After removing them, the usual shrinkage will be exacerbated somewhat.
  13. Ask an Expert - Scoobie Doo Sergey Tsos

    Welcome, Sergey. DEJ has been relentless in coercing you over here. Why would you say he felt compelled to do that?
  14. Antispin game

    Not all antispin players play the same way, so it depends. Many use it to block, producing slow short balls when you attack hard, breaking your rhythm that way - or trying to, anyway. The more spin you add, the more you'll have to deal with on your next ball. One of the things I try is to...
  15. Tenergy 25fx

    Certainly not, but I've seen all other tenergies being used in real life.
  16. what is your favorite handle

    This shape, which I'd prefer to call tapered over elcon; nothing else gives me that immediate feel of oneness.
  17. Tenergy 25fx

    Yes, that’s what I mean. I see it advertised, but have never ever seen it in physical form, on a blade, used in gameplay.
  18. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    We're playing again. I've opened the club last saturday and sunday, and now enjoy the soreness of my muscles intensely. As usual, my BH snapped into place quite swiftly. For some or other reason, BH-FH transitions and overall FH timing take a little longer to return, especially when going for...
  19. Tenergy 25fx

    I've never ever seen T25fx outside Butterfly marketing material.
  20. Rubbers regluing interval

    I’m having speedglue flashbacks.
