That's the price you pay for getting a mistress ..... 🤪 Joking aside.... I think that Virtuoso Off- and YSE are not world apart. You found that you can switch back and forth without any problems. Up Side Down Carl is correct, the anegre top ply of YSE will feel harder compared to limba...

Way... way... way.... too many..... 😩

Ah, you have made a decision (around the same time I wrote my response). Hadraw 5 is a bit thicker than Avalox P500 (they have the same composition, only different thickness). Back in the old days, I used Korbel and also Avalox P500. And they are about the same speed. So I guess Hadraw 5...

Current / new Korbel (Japanese version) is usually above 90 grams. I remember weighing them few years ago and the lowest was around 93 grams. They are stiffer and faster, compared to my old Korbel (black tag). Old Korbel is quite soft and quite flexible. It is more suitable for beginners...

@Sims Sorry for out of topic, but I am just curious, why you named your Ma Lin Extra Offensive as Jimmy Carr?

I beg to differ here regarding Ma Lin Carbon vs. Ma Lin Soft Carbon. The usual convention is that soft carbon must be more controllable. Well, in my specific case, my ML Carbon is 86 grams and my ML Soft Carbon is 93 grams. Composition wise: ML Carbon --> limba - anegre - carbon - ayous -...

Since you are Frenchman, I suggest Tibhar IV-L (I think it is the most popular ALL+ blade in France) or Andro Kinetic ALL+. To be honest, I don't know how good you are, so ALL+ blades are safe bet. Or maximum OFF- (Tibhar Felix Off-). As a matter of fact, I always marvel at how professional...

I read long time ago, that in the early years of People's Republic of China, they tried to choose one sport to become the national sport of China. And they chose table tennis, among many other sports. I think they consider all things when choosing a sport that they can excel at: the...

This is probably the wisest remark I have ever read in this forum.... 🤪🤪

If he is a blocker, then Persson Powerplay will be a good choice. Basically, 7-ply blades like Clipper, Samsonov Force Pro Black, Joola Viva, will all be good for blocking as they are stiffer than 5-ply blades. But since you are looking for slower, more controllable blocking blade, then...

Replying to your original questions: 1. Donic Waldner Senso Carbon V1 (Donic WSC V1) This blade is actually a Donic Allplay with added soft carbon near the core. So speed wise, it is actually an ALL+ / OFF- blade (depending on the weight). Although it contains carbon but it is very...

My friend is using a HL5 with Tenergy 05 and his push / chop is incredible. Even higher level players need to execute good form to be able to loop his very spinny backspin. Usually a HL5 with Tenergy is used for offensive style, not pushing/chopping style.

If it's long pips, many of my friends use balsa blades. Therefore they are usually soft and stiff, yet very light. For short pips, I cannot find any patterns here. Few of them use 7-ply blades, such as Clipper, P700 and Tibhar Force Pro Black (therefore they are usually heavy) and few of...

When Gatien (TT World Champion from France) was sponsored by Yasaka, he switched from Stiga Allround Evolution to Yasaka Gatien Extra (it is now Yasaka Sweden Extra). Yasaka Extra was also used by Ma Lin and Wang Hao, before they switched to something else (YEO and Hurricane Hao). Wait...

Wow, thank you for the insight. I know in the past, there were lots of discussion about "team's order" that certain players must lose. Even as a follow up of me watching that youtube channel (youtube algorithm, I guess), there appeared another youtube channel discussing how a Chinese woman...

Hi, I do not really follow this issue and I did not watch the Olympic Women's Final previously. But lately, when I browsed my Youtube channel, I saw youtube post talking about this final. So I finally watch it and now I am wondering. In the youtube post that I watched, it shows that Chinese...

Out of your 3 choices, my suggestion will be Yasaka Sweden Extra with 2 Mark V. For cheaper price, you can change those Mark V to Palio AK47, with red version on FH (medium hard sponge) and yellow version on BH (medium soft sponge). Mark V will fall into yellow version range in term of...

Then Jorgen Persson is about halfway correct..... His index finger curls but not as much as the one shown in the picture above. I am curious because his grip is quite different compared to other Swedish players and yet he had thunderous backhand slap/smash.

Why your first response was "did they do something naughty?" Do you know something that we don't???? :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: 🤣

I have actually done this. Long time ago, when I was still young and still think that sealing might affect the great allwood feeling, I used women hair spray. I asked the seller to give me the strongest hair spray available. When I sprayed it once to my blade, the white wood color became a...
