Why don't we say Victor is 2150 (which is true) and TensorBackhand is 1900? Good enough for me :) I think what Tony is trying to do is to figure out how the USATT ratings compared the actual playing level/style. I think when you get to higher levels, each 50 points or each 100 points is a big...

I have one sheet of H3 neo National blue sponge 39 degree. It was ok. I don't see a big difference between provincial and national blue sponge. I think it is up to the individual to decide how often they want to change their hurricane 3. Everyone has a different budget. Let me put it in a...

I would not get Xiom Vega Europe. It is going to be too soft and too slow for you. Xiom Vega Pro is a toned down version of T05. In other words, Tenergy 05 was the gold standard for a while but it was so expensive so many hobby players (per Quadri Aruna), play with either G1 or Xiom Vega Pro...

I think G-1 (I am the third person) is what you are looking for. G-1 is spinny. Not as catapulty as T05. More control. It is a great rubber that lasts forever. It is a bit heavy though. As for D09c, I can see that is what you are looking for as well. But it is tacky so it depends if you are...

Ok, I think I will regret making this post but I might as well: 1) OP's assertion that stick with Butterfly is not a bad statement. My club coach plays with Butterfly equipment all his life. I had him try my hurricane and he feels so uncomfortable. Then he flipped the bat around and started...

I don't think there is one way to boost. After all, when I boost, I can decide to put a thin layer, medium layer or a thick layer. After all, you want to boost to make the rubber/sponge "feels right" in your own hand. So if you have been boosting one way, just keep on doing it again and again...

I think the chart looks very very good! I studied in England in the 1998-1999 academic year. The overall playing level was better back then in England as opposed to the US (and I suspect that is still the case). However, I only played at the University club and against other University teams so...

Tony, here is the link to the 2023 US Open results. If you click on the event, you can see the results of round robins all the way to single elimination. If you click on the player, you can find out who they won and who they lost to. Japan also sent some players there. I am sure they are not...

Using social media, Victor Moraga's rating is currently at 2165. You can check out his YouTube video and his Instagram to see how he plays. Victor, Anastasiia and Adam have played lots of USATT tournaments with the latter two not playing as much recently so their ratings are pretty accurate...

Adam Bobrow has played a lot of tournaments over the years. So his rating in the 2100's range is pretty accurate. Anastasiia is about 2250 and according to rating, yes, she should beat Adam most of the time. That is why in their latest video Anastasiia gave Adam some points at the start of...

Here is my guess, at least using social media. Dan is probably around USATT 2100-2150. Adam is solid 2100 USATT player so that's why Adam can go to various clubs to challenge players and still win, say 8 out of the club's top 10 players. 2100 or 2200 is very good level! Tom the frog. Probably...

I like Fortino Performance but I am just not sure how you play. I like the feel of it. If you are coming from a defensive blade, I would recommend starting with Tibhar Stratus Power Wood first and then progress to Fortino Performance. As for Tibhar rubbers, it is hard to say. K3 is wildly...

Quick reply: I love love Tibhar Stratus Power Wood. I have like 5 copies of them. The headsize is a big bigger than usual. Definitely OFF- in terms of speed. Fast enough but with control. Tibhar Fortino Performance, I have one blade. It was my main blade for 3 months before. It is a very good...

Are you using Nittaku KVL Defensive blade with Nittaku Spiral rubber on both sides currently? What do you like about this set-up? What do you not like about this set-up. I have used Donic Waldner Senso Carbon (not sure what version is it because I only used it briefly) and 7-ply Donic Persson...

I did not want to respond but I will respond anyway. I respect your playing level. I started playing on and off since I was 13. I trained with other junior players before. Some were more talented than others (I am in the latter camp). Some spent more time training while others had to study to...

I have purchased from global sports store for both H3 provincial and national versions. The products are legit. I think you should be fine!

Which shop on Aliexpress did you order it from? In general, I don't think it is a fake. For Butterfly T05 selling for $22 on Aliexpress, yeah, that's fake. I doubt there is that much money in booster for anyone to fake it.

Lol, I am the United Nations. I do nothing and I refuse to take a position :) :)

I know K3 does not last that long. But ouch! changing it daily?? I think they are definitely 2400+....
