I meant to reply for a while but have not had any time until now. I don't agree with point #1. After all, what you serve is IMMENSELY important for your third ball attack so if you don't know what spin you put on the serve, then you don't know what is LIKELY to come back. For anyone under USATT...

Is the club rating matching the USATT rating? It is a big deal with beat people 200 points above you! Congrats. It is the same at my club. When someone starts losing, everyone is making up excuses. Lol. You lose you lose. You win you win. It is not like you cannot win or lose again next time...

Der Materialspezialist Spinfire purple. Out of all the colors, purple is the fastest while pink is the spinnest. 1.8mm sponge. Fast enough. 2.1mm sponge if you want it faster. I have only tried 1.8mm and 2.1mm sponge and I like 1.8mm better for two reasons: 1) 1.8mm gives the ball a bit of a...

Lo, no no no no no! Lodro can read my mind. I even bought two sheets of Big Dipper with two sponge hardness to see if I would like it. No. I bought a lot of Stuor and Lumeria and I don't like most of them except Stuor Viscaria clone and ZJK clone. I don't feel bad about blades though. They...

Here is my opinion. My honest opinion. I tried so many things on Aliexpress. I do not like Yinhe blades at all. I got 4 and none of them has rubbers on them so you don't I don't like it. My Gambler blades suite me just fine. I tried various cheap alternatives on Aliexpress: AK47 blue, Big...

DHS Hurricane 3 neo, blue sponge, 39 degree, provincial. I got like 5 sheets. Then one sheet of the same thing but 40 degree to be used later. I know what I like so I am not exploring anymore.

I have no problem with boosting. by the way I played in the speed glue era with 38mm ball. That was really bad back then because the playing hall would smell like volatile glue! Boosting with VOC-free booster is so much easier and safer. The boosting effects last for a while.

I think if budget is a concern, then two 30-min lessons a month would be great. Good form is important from the get-go. You can generate more power and control with good forms. You (most likely an adult student) will need to find coaches who know how to coach adult beginners. Too many high...

Yes Butterfly is the strongest. Some of my blades were lacquered "too much" by the manufacturer so the rubber has a hard time sticking to the blade. When I use Butterfly glue, it is much better (it still does not stick a couple times and I have to retry). Let us put it in a different way. How...

I get mine from Megaspin. It is very fast delivery!

I agree. Gozo, your current set-up is too fast! At the minimum, the game of table tennis is who can keep the ball on the table the longest without fail. So control and spin (especially top spin) has to be a part of your strategy. I could see the appeal of having 10.5mm custom made-in-Taiwan...

STN is pretty good. Is it too heavy for you? If so, you can always leave a bigger gap between the rubber and the handle to cut down on the weight. STN has tacky top sheet. Mercury II also has tacky top sheet but it is too slow. I have tried Battle II Provincial blue sponge? It was a long time...

New. Silver packaging.

STN does not need to be boosted. However I boost mine because I am used to boosting every single sheet of rubber I get my hands on!

Also the service faults need to be called more consistently. I just don't understand why umpires do not call it. Once they call it consistently then players will adopt, just like everything else in life!

Apparently there is a whole YouTube video about. Yeah I really do not like the way he serves.

Sanwei Target National.

So I have been seeing some hurricane threads being insurrected. Let me try to answer them from my perspective: 1) I have played with H3 regular commercial orange sponge, H3 neo commercial orange sponge, TG2 neo commercial orange sponge, TG3 neo commercial orange sponge, H3 neo provincial blue...

I think you just like everything Butterfly. I think you should try Bryce next :) :)
