Chen Meng won WS in Tokyo Olympics, Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin won singles at WTT Cup finals (which replaced the world cup). But you are right, Fang Bo has named blades, although not the premium ones.

I am interested in seeing how much an adult who plays for 1 year can reach. If we wait, then you become an adult who plays for 2 years, and that's not as interesting :D Somebody tried this before: https://www.experttabletennis.com/expert-in-a-year/

Historically divorce rates are going up with time...

Yeah, both blades should be easy to sell if kept in good condition.

That's a long post from someone who doesn't care :D BTW, have you managed to find time to video your games yet? I recall you are planning to do so in another post. Or maybe I am hallucinating.

I think DHS only releases named blades for world champions, so she would need to win in Durban.

One thing you overlooked is the psychological effect. If I use my Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive, my FH becomes much more aggressive :D (and miss the table)

I think there are two ways of looking at it. 1) They would feel different; even blades of the same model could do that due to variation in thickness, weight, stiffness of wood etc. Different models with different handle and head shapes would also affect that; in particular I think the Harimoto...

What do you mean by range training? Learning to hit the same shot (say topspin) at with different speed and spin?

Hmm, I guess I will find out. When you say extremely slow, is it the slowest you ever play with? Could you name some rubbers that are slightly slower and slightly faster than it? This thread said it's similar to Battle 2, which shouldn't be too slow for tacky Chinese rubber...

No I have never played with any of the Sanwei target variants. I don't boost either. Does it not come factory-tuned?

Pro 3, the one with a reflective red cover.

That usually works for top-tier products because of the high price. Also blades sell better than rubbers, which have shorter lifespan. I doubt a second-hand STN can be sold easily on the internet.

I know many players who do that. Personally I play quite conservatively during a match, mostly sticking to techniques I am confident with. When I try to learn/improve my strokes, I first make sure I can do it well in practice. Doing new things in a match is just too stressful for me. Generally...

Uncut R53 is 74g https://blog.tabletennis11.com/review-stiga-dna-h-vs-andro-r53 Uncut DNA Platinum XH is 72g https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/stiga-dna-platinum-rubbers.25451/ Shouldn't be too different.

If it keeps going into the net, then just open up your bat angle or swing more forward (in case there isn't enough speed to bring the ball over the net). Or just get a new rubber if you prefer to find the perfect rubber that fits your current technique instead of adapting to the equipment.

It depends on why you lose. If there are major technical flaw or weakness, then it would take a bit of work to improve your match results. But sometimes it's just conditioning and mentality; you could see some rapid improvement in your results if you can fix those. However, mentality/nerves...

Cool, so you're aiming to go from winning ~1 out of 3 to ~2 out of 3 per match. Best of luck! I took a break from league this season but I will re-join this coming season. I have been training relatively seriously and hopefully can surprise some of my opponents :)

What's the match format of your league? 3 vs 3 with 9 singles + 1 doubles?

BTY could sell Dignics FX if they want to, but it would be the same price as a Dignics. I'd imagine such rubbers may be too similar to Tenergy and therefore they won't release them, since Tenergy is still selling well.
