Whats the difference between old viscaria?

In theory, I should like the return. It is high, and gives me the chance to attack. But so far its tricky to handle.

Yes, this is almost the exact situation that I am struggling with. Although for me, the opponent usually makes a more forceful slice with more spin than you show in your video. Your video is encouraging though, and I think I need more practice with this shot.

Usually if I do a backspin serve, my opponent will slice the ball back and I can loop the 3rd ball fairly well. However, when I do a side-topspin serve, sometimes my opponent misreads the serve and chops it back. When this happens, the back pops up really high with backspin. I have a lot of...

Sanwei CC is a fast, carbon blade for $10 or so.Â

Harimoto is wasting his prime growth years training in Japan. He isnt being pushed, his technique isnt advancing. I think the Japanese coaches deserve a lot of fault for wasting the best years. They havent developed his forehand or his mid-range game at all in 3 years.Â

 For me, I think his sister has a better style than him. He stands too close to the table, and is mostly reliant on his backhand to win points. Against the mid-distance loopers, he cant attack the heavy topspin, so he ends up blocking a lot on his backhand. His sister has a more "Chinese"...

Harimoto really needs to move to China and change up his training, because his technique is not developing at all. Wang Manyu looked good in XD, i hope she goes far. Her partner Jha was alright, but not too offensive. Lily Zhang looked really hesitant playing with Lin Gaoyuan, but they can...

No its easy to do. Anybody can do it. You can buy any cheap TT glue for $4 or $5 on Aliexpress, or you can just use rubber cement from Walmart for $4.Â

I think booster is different from speed glue, and is not bad for health. H3 is very slow, so it should be boosted. If you dont like it, you can always go back to unboosted. There is no reason you cant go back, you just need a time for adjustment.

I dont think it will damage you... But your setup already seems very fast and responsive, it doesnt look like you need extra booster.

What does that mean?

Definitely cant complain about the price. But I think Earth/AK47 is a big jump up in quality.

I also enjoy sponge color, it makes no difference, but its just fun to look at. I like black topsheet on red sponge, it looks really premium. Blue sponge looks good. I also like black topsheet on purple sponge.

Have you tried the Aurora? I always wondered why the Presto costs more than Aurora.

I think you will be really surprised by the quality of this racket and setup.

They are similar, but AK47 is completely grippy, Hadou is a little tacky. Hadou makes sense for backhand who want a little more spin.

 How does the Presto play vs AK47 or Aurora (also 729)?

I would recommend a affordable Yinhe blade with AK47 rubber. Several other beginners on this board have opted for the same combo. You can get Yinhe Earth blade with AK47 for about $40 on Aliexpress.Â...

AK47 and Ckylin Pro are the best non-tacky rubbers both around $11. 729 Aurora looks interesting, but havent tried it. Also Loki T3 is good.Â
