  1. Rasanter R53 for FH or BH?

    Well I'm not at all surprised that a sub 2000 level player might have flaws in bh technique. That still hasn't answered my question. What is the technical reason that my flawed technique works well with hybrid hard rubbers but not R53.
  2. Why is Roger Federer so good at receiving serve!?

    Appreciate the reply, but I can assure you that the reason I'm afraid to return that girl's serve has nothing to do with equipment. It's more mental, and I don't have the right concept for how to return serve. I want everything to be black and white. If its backspin, let it be backspin so I...
  3. Rasanter R53 for FH or BH?

    Its pretty much new. Just some light hitting a few times.
  4. Rasanter R53 for FH or BH?

    Yes i have the C53, and I feel like it has more control on the fh. And like I mentioned, I actually have played a lot with harder rubbers than R53, and i usually like it a lot. So Im still trying to understand why the R53 doesnt seem to work on my bh. Even if I accept that R53 is not good for...
  5. Rasanter R53 for FH or BH?

    I just came back from a session testing out a sheet of Rasanter R53 2.3mm. Previously I had tested it out as a FH rubber and it was pretty fun. It was definitely really fast, spin was good, but I felt the fault tolerance wasn't too high. I'm using to having tacky fh, so I think I felt that was...
  6. With ML era ending, who are the top Chinese upcoming players?

    Yeah, I agree on Aura, and they have a certain "champion" look and mindset. Ma Lin I would argue had that champion boxer look and mindset, he was an absolute assassin. Lin Shidong just looks like insecure. Kinda reminds me of Hao Shuai or Liu Guozheng, good players, but not quite that...
  7. Why is Roger Federer so good at receiving serve!?

    That may be part of it, but I think there's something wrong with me as well. I still think I would struggle against that girl's serve. Just looking at it makes me think i'm not quite sure how to receive it.
  8. Why is Roger Federer so good at receiving serve!?

    Anybody see this video already? What surprised me the most is how good Federer is at returning serve. If it was me against that serve, I would be overthinking it. Do I push? Do I loop? Do I flick? Is the ball going long or short? But it's so easy and natural for him. What is going on?
  9. With ML era ending, who are the top Chinese upcoming players?

    https://tabletennis.guide/profile.php?name=shidong-lin-137237 Just checking here, I guess you are right. You can't argue with wins over FZD, LJK, LYJ, Qiu Dang, Otcharov. I just don't like the way he looks. His body language and energy doesn't speak "champion" to me.
  10. With ML era ending, who are the top Chinese upcoming players?

    ML is retiring sometime soon it seems. FZD and WCQ seem like a lock for the #1 and #2 CNT positions for the foreseeable future. Who are the most likely contenders for the CNT #3? A lot of people say Lin Shidong is promising, I'm not totally sure. I find his style a bit uninspiring, but of...
  11. My experience with Chinese rubbers

    Sounds good. What I dislike most about B2 is the lower throw angle. But I don't like the B3 price. I'm now accustomed to paying less than $15 for GOOD Chinese rubbers.
  12. My experience with Chinese rubbers

    So you're saying it has slightly more catapult unboosted? How about the throw angle?
  13. Tenergy 05 vs Dignics 05

    I think D05 is probably "better" for reasons listed above, but there is just something unique and pleasurable about T05's feeling sensation.
  14. Budget Set Ups

    Blue. Although I had both before, I didn't necessarily feel a big difference. I just thought the new version handle was better
  15. Are double fish rubbers any good?

    I think I will give the 41d a try sometime.
  16. Budget Set Ups

    Tornado V5 is a pretty nice and grippy rubber, but I find that the sponge might be too soft for FH use. How hard is your sponge do you find? The Kiri blades look pretty cool for a low price, but I thought they seem a bit too thick. I was worried that the feel would suffer because of the...
  17. My experience with Chinese rubbers

    Any idea how B3 compares to B2 and Battle Max?
  18. Budget Set Ups

    Sanwei CC for $11. 100% agree on the rubbers. I would add Moon 12 for BH
  19. Stuor Harimoto ZLC

    I dont think it will be worse. I only had lemuria zjk, but it was very nice
