I think Schlagers advice literally means picking up the ball right off the bounce and if so, you have to open the angle of your racket more or else that ball would go straight into the net.

I just came back to this thread after getting lots of notifications. the thread has become....well...quite negative. I think we should be able to agree on a few things: 1) People play table tennis differently. One person of playing does not have to equate the other person's style. Sometimes...

Lol, got it! I will private message him directly!

Yes it is like $5 only. Ok I will add a third layer tonight. What the heck....... By the way I have a black sheet not taken out of the package yet so if I mess up the red sheet, I have a back-up. I will be really really curious, on the same blade, boosted H3 neo black v.s. boosted Mercury II...

Haha, there is no questions it is doming!!! :)

Ok, I watched all the videos. I am not sure if I am allowed to comment. A few things: [JJ Ng: please read my comment following.]

Wow! So Sriver should have a sales price of $14.98 and Mark V should have a sales price of $16.12. Notice my sarcasm. Lol! :) :)

Did not know. I just checked. I am subscribed to both. 易乒乓YPP官方副频道 focuses on internal matches within China. The headlines are also suspenseful like, "will the top university team member beat the provincial team veterans?" or "will the top ameuter player of the country manhandle the retired...

Very nice craftmanship! Awesome. I am just wondering since the surface is smaller, the combined weight of two smaller Hurricane rubbers on both sides would be advantageous.

Yes, that's the one. I have not tried it before. Please see the review below. I really really like his website. Unfortunately he looks to be busy and the website has not been updated. But his reviews of the few rubbers and blades seem to be very good! He tried Mercury II and really really liked...

I have been pleasantly surprised vy $5 Sanwei T88 ULTRA Spin Table Tennis Rubber Half-sticky Speed Training. I put it on a fast 5-ply wood and it is quite fast and spinny. It is not tacky like Sanwei Target National. overall just feels like a toned down version of STN which at $5 a sheet is very...

Agree. Recently I have been going from the G-1, C-1 series to Revolution and Rakza. They are all ESN's. Adapting different rubbers on my backhand has been pretty busy. It also helps that I play 5 days a week so I can adapt pretty quickly. I highly doubt the $55-$65 range "newest" rubbers will...

Ok let me make a few comments: 1) No doubt Nittaku 3-star premium is the gold standard in plastic balls. The feedback is always durable, feels solid, can impart spins and plays "like the celluloid balls" from the previous era. I have no problem playing with that ball. However, my isses are a)...

I have Waldner Senso Carbon. It is fast but not too fast. But I feel that it does not let me feel the ball that well. It is kind of stiff. I recently put H3 neo on the forehand and EL-S and MX-S on the backhand side of the two Donic Persson Powerplay blades I own. Persson Powerplay is a 7-ply...

Let us know how it went! As for Glayzer, I have not gotten my hands on a sheet. All the reviews on YouTube (and there are a ton of reviews) tend to say it is slower and hard to use. Most of these reviewers are used to Tenergy and Dignics so for them Glayzer is a disappointment. I would...

Lol yes boosting is a must. Otherwise just save yourself some money and buy Friendship 729 soft. you cannot boost that thing. It gets way too soft. And for $10-$13 a sheet, you don't plan to boost, then get 729.

Agree. Didn't Tenergy come out in 2008? That is a long long time ago. However, Butterfly and Yasaka are still charging $30 and change for Sriver and Mark V. Didn't those come out in the 1980's or shortly before then? What can you say if people are buying?

Despite all the new rubbers, I still feel that G-1, C-1, EL-S, FX-P, and the Rakza series play just fine. I think $40 and change for a new rubber is good enough for me. I have not had the urge to go for the $55-65 range of new rubbers (Xiom Omega VII Tour, Stiga DNA Platinum XH, H3 with blue...

Lol, I have been itchy to try Battle 2 and Bloom Power but if that's the case, I will stick with H3 neo. Thanks for the summary!! :) :)

I love my Chinese rubbers. I love recycling my H3 neo recently. That project has been going well. By recycling the old H3 neo, the tackiness wears off a bit and it feels like "hybrid" to me. Just to get on the topic of this thread, I have one Sanwei National Target, black, not boosted. I liked...
