If you are going to buy from Paddle Palace, then get the shakehand combo special. That will get you the best pricing there. A couple blades in the combo special stand out for me: Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon. I used that blade in 2018 when I first came back. It is carbon but more of a slow carbon...

Let me address your question. You look to be pretty high level already. And you are getting multi-ball training now. Rakza 7, I have used. It is a jack-of-all-trades. It performs everything very well but also nothing too strong. But it is a good rubber because it is grippy and last like forever...

I second that opinion.

I agree with you completely! His style is not defensive but more like a counter attacker using the backhand A LOT. I like Raza 7 soft and Fastarc C1 as well. In fact Fastarc C1 is a tensor rubber that does not have too much tensor effect. Going back to the original post, I asked him to set it...

When will Hybrid fx 48 degree sponge come out on the market?

30% off if you buy more than $300 or $330 at a time

I don't think these Vega series rubbers have any particular feeling compared to other ESN's rubbers. I like Xiom rubber just fine. Tibhar evolutions series do have more bounce than Vega series. That is not necessary a good thing or a bad thing. For example, I still prefer the control of Vega...

Get a hurricane neo 37 degree on the BH and hit it harder. I have not been happy with any hybrid so far (I use my clubmate's dragon grip briefly but it was on my clubmate's blade so I could not tell). Personally for hybrid, I have tried Rakza Z, K2 (ordered from Aliexpress), Tibhar Hybrid K1...

You are welcome. I love Tabletennis11. If you order from them, say, tonight or tomorrow, to take advantage of the weekly special, they will probably mail it out to you by Monday (there is no Labor Day is Estonia, as far as I know) and you might get your shipment by Wednesday or Thursday at the...

I read through the OP's entire post. I agree. 100,000+ combination is overwhelming. Unless you are a classic defender (like Joo Sae-hyuk), then nobody uses a defensive blade. That's pretty true across the board. In addition, do you have regular coaching or not? If not, then we have to...

I own my own business so I know how expensive labor cost is in North America. That explains the high prices at Paddle Palace. It is up to you where you want to order your blade from. Paddle Palace, Tabletennis11 and Dandoy sports do not sell fake goods so you should be fine ordering from any of...

Stick with G09c. Butterfly products usually last forever. If you like it and the sheet is new, don't get tempted to EJ. you have found the one! Just take care of the rubber and you will save more money in the long run than go EJ'ing.

I am a big proponent that newer players should play with slower equipment. I don't know why noobies are being set up with Viscaria and Tenergy 05 fx on the forehand and Tenergy 64 fx on the backhand...that is a disaster to happen. You did a forehand loop drive in the video! It looks really...

Same quality. both are legit shops. They don't sell fake stuff. The cost of doing business is a lot higher in the US than in Eastern Europe. Also I believe, at least for Butterfly, many manufacturers have suggested retail price for each region: say N. America v.s. Europe v.s. Japan. I used...

I do not have experience with Jekyll & Hyde. I have played with Xiom Vega Pro, Vega X, Vega Japan, Vega Asia and Vega Europe. They all play just fine. For the faster rubbers, definitely both Xiom Vega Pro and Vega X are fast. I don't know why I never liked Vega X that much. I like Vega Pro...

I don't think there is an alternative to Glazyer 09c. As you can tell, some people love it. Some people hate it. I have not seen a rubber dividing people up so much (well Sanwei Target National aside). If you love it, then just buy the rubber and take a good care of it, and forget about a...

No shame in playing with long pips. My suggestion is to keep inverted in your forehand and use ox (no sponge) long pips on your backhand. Play with it for a few days and see if you enjoy it.

My advice is to keep your racket high at the starting point so you don't end up counter looping the ball out. I also agree with keeping your stroke short and compact. In other words, it is completely different from looping backspin. If you can keep your racket high, plus keeping your stroke...

Agree. You can do either curled fingers or straight fingers. But in the course of developing your forehand and backhand, the fingers in the back can move between straight or curled or maybe even hybrid of both. Everyone plays differently. Side topic. I used to play Jpen. And I had an ox...

I love my Donic Persson Power Play blade. It is a good, fast 7-ply all wood that also has a lot of control. I have two of them, one in FL handle and another in anatomic handle. It is dirt cheap too which surprises me. As for the original question, Ma Lin Carbon soft is very affordable. Why not...
