I'm so excited to see Ma Te on international scene and 3rd round of qualification will be real challenge for ZJK to beat him!

I have never plaid with Korbel longer then 5 minutes so I can only say that it's kind of logical progress from Primo in terms of similar feel and faster/more powerful response to the ball. Note that all 3 blades (Bfly Primorac OFF-, Bfly Korbel OFF and Tibhar Stratus Powerwood OFF- but rather...

Hi Alex, few comments as I was using 3 of the blades in question. I was playing with Primorac for most of my "career" before I left the game and then I was using it for few months last summer when I came back (used H3neo on FH and Rozena on BH). Then I was looking for something with more feel...

I totally agree, just be careful that most of Chinese rubbers including those from 729 are tacky non-tensors which are very different from Tenergy. So to mimic Viscaria (or other Butterfly ALC blade like TBS, TB ALC) and Tenergy you need to choose rubbers carefully. Battle 1 could be an option...

I'm afraid you missed the point this time. See how the thread is named, see original post and see my questions. It's not about my preference or OP's preference of colors but the question is why it matters to people like Timo Boll, Persson, Samsonov, Waldner and others who used to play with red...

Great. Did he mention why majority PROs like black on FH? Really just a coincidence? Also any reason why this has changed (at least among Europen PROs) in mid/late 00'?

Wrong topic I'm afraid, this blade isn't really new equipment 2018 (Yinhe 30th aniv. was in 2016). But there are two reviews on Revspin and also some reviews of V-14 (yellow handle non-pro) on this forum. If not enough please set-up new thread...

You can get custom set-up for less then $20 (the cheapest Chinese blade and rubbers from TTnPP or similar shop) and for $40 you will be always able to beat any premade bat. Just choose some ALL/OFF- all-wood blade and decent inverted rubbers and you are ready to go for whole season.

Service error, hands switching, yellow card, it's all there! Good effort!

That's the point: HW projects are not easy especially for the newcomers to the business. It's not just to make one working prototype but all the manufacturing, compliance/certifications, quality assurance, logistics, managing costs to make any profit in the end... One year delay is pretty much...

He must first start, then win at least one match and then repeat it consistently at least for 6 months. Then we can say there is a chance to see him on tour and league for another few years. I can hardly imagine ZJK playing groups and not getting qualified to the main draw or even qualifying but...

Just for the record can you find some video or photo when Timo plaid with red on FH last time? I haven't found anything newer then 2010...

Now looking to more youtube archives there are few players who kept red on FH (Maze, Ryu) and few who altered back and force during 2008-2011 (Boll, Waldner) before arriving to black on FH for good. It can be that Timo got just some hardness/wight options for given tournament and he switched the...

Interesting topic, I was looking exactly into this when coming back to TT after 15 years. Back in 90s when I was playing as a kid ALL European players were using RED on FH. Saive, Gatien, JOW, Persson, Kreanga, Boll... you name it it was RED on FH and BLACK on BH. Then I returned back to the...

Because I haven't seen this anywhere on English speaking TT forums (only similar procedures for DHS - here is one such guide on TTnPP which seems to be outdated because links doesn't look the same on DHS and CTTA web sites) I just leave this here for mine and others benefit;) Most of Chinese...

It's question of your level and expectations (also if you have good table, space around and good flooring or just narrow paved slippery garage) but with such budget you cannot go wrong with Robopong 2050+/2055: https://www.newgy.com/...

Actually 729 Friendship V-1 looks much more like Viscaria clone, you can get it also around 30USD from Aliexpress. Unfortunately only Chinese penhold handle (CS)! Here is the structure:

Despite headline from the seller 729 x-6 blade seems to be 5 wood + 2 ALC composition but inner (ALC close to the core under second thin wooden ply) while Viscaria is outer composition (ALC under top wooden ply). Also top ply on x-6 doesn't look like Koto but I'm not the expert. And then...

Do I see all-wood no composite?

Indeed, com'n Patrick!
