  1. Need advice for buying my second bat.

    He plays with H3 so if H3 feels like a big brick, D09c might be a softer brick :) :)
  2. Need advice for buying my second bat.

    I played with G-1 on my backhand for 3 years. It is fine. Fastarc series has the least catapult effect out of the ESN. G-1 is fast and it is very direct. Wherever you want the ball to go, it will go there. I personally would start with C-1 and get used to the Fastarc series before upgrading to...
  3. Need advice for buying my second bat.

    I love my 30% discount on TT11 so that's why I am not touching Butterfly product. But many people also say, rightfully so, that Butterfly works for them and it is the best. And they plan to use the set up for years. I agree with that as well. I mean the dominance of Butterfly products in top...
  4. Koki Niwa Wood or Tibhar Force Pro Black edition

    I don't use Butterfly either. Butterfly does not give discount which makes it very expensive for my EJ habit. If you want something faster than MX-S, I guess MX-P 50, if you are not going to go the Butterfly route? You said the blade is a bit slow.
  5. Butterfly SpaceSaver 22 or Joola Tour 2500 table?

    I have both a Butterfly Europa (not SpaceSaver 22) and a Joola Tour 2500. I would choose the Joola Tour 2500 just for the price. My club uses Butterfly tables. So if that's the case, the home table can be a bit cheaper. And Joola Tour 2500 is 25mm top. It is very sturdy. Don't let the price...
  6. Need advice for buying my second bat.

    I understand you are using H3. Any reason you don't want to try Dignics 09c? That sounds more reasonable than trying Tenergy 05. Today I played with my club mate's inner carbon ZLC blade with Dignics 09c on both sides. It felt very very good. I have been using H3 neo for like 5 year already...
  7. Need advice for buying my second bat.

    I have no idea. It depends on how your coaching and practicing go. could be 3 months. could be 5 years. Honestly, I am not even touching Tenergy regular right now. I have been using T05 fx, T64 fx and T80 fx on the backhand side. I am satisfied with that. I think you will know when to move...
  8. Post your latest EJ purchase

    There is a reason why all the Chinese national team players (well, almost all) use H3 on the forehand side. You cannot duplicate that feeling. Today I played with a club mate's Harimoto Innerforce Super ZLC Blade with Dignics 09c on both sides. I like it. But I am NOT about to spend that much...
  9. Need advice for buying my second bat.

    Lol, you mean you and I actually agree on something?!?! :) :)
  10. Need advice for buying my second bat.

    That's a good choice considering your budget. Maybe not Tenergy hard just yet. Regular T05 is fast enough.
  11. Will practicing on a 13mm table affect tournament play?

    Megaspin. I recommend the Joola tables there. I don't think they are ITTF approved. But $699 for a 25mm top table from Joola? That is good. And that price of course includes shipping. Warning. If you want to by 25mm top table, you need at least one other person to help you unbox and set up the...
  12. Does anyone play with a torn rotator cuff?

    There is a reason that LP is popular among older players. My vote is short pips on the forehand and long pips on the backhand :) :)
  13. Different style setups depending on opponent?

    Mark V's topsheet just would not die. It could look like new even after a year of playing. I think Rakza 7 soft is fast enough for me on a fast blade. I will probably stop right there!
  14. Xiom Vega Korea Review

    I have Xiom Vega Europe and Xiom Vega X. So far so good. I just bought them in the past month or so as the Vega series has been popular for 10+ years. I can see they they are popular! Yes agree. The $40 USD range is being overlooked. Donic is pushing $60+ with BlueStar (one of my club mate has...
  15. is there a Joola Dynaryz CMD review?

    I have heard very good things about K3. Use that rubber and see how you like it!
  16. European Games 2023

    I don't understand this "wrapping" around the ball either. The ball has back spin coming at you. The ball has top spin coming at you. committ to an angle and finish your stroke and finish the point. It is as simple as that.
  17. Different style setups depending on opponent?

    Lol, I am using Xiom Vega Europe to tame my very fast Acoustic carbon down. So far so good!
  18. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    I can tell, looking at the sponge, Stiga Genesis first generation was made by DHS. The weird thing is the sponge is tensor like and the top sheet loses tackiness very very fast. I did not know DHS knows how to make rubber like that! Loki does a lot of OEM. From the way the product looks, Loki...
  19. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    I have Rxton 1 on one side of the blade, Tibhar Stratus Power wood, and Rxton 3 blue on the other side. Then I have Rxton 3 pink on another blade, also Tibhar Stratus Power wood, and Rxton 5 on the other side. Rxton 1 plays clearly softer. I have to change my bat angle quite a bit to...
