Yes just switched to Sanwei Target National maybe 2-3 weeks ago? But if I pick up a paddle with H3 neo on the forehand, boosted, I can pretty much play with it no problem. I am now installing three black H3 neo on three different wood blades later this week (Nittaku, Neottec, and Donic). I...

Agree. I use Chinese rubber on my forehand. Look, Ma Long uses hard Chinese rubber on his backhand so should I do it too? Not necessarily. I would not in a million years try to use Chinese rubber on my backhand. I don't have the technique and the strength to do that. I have tried Rakza 7...

That video looks pretty bad! It is like whenver you want to change your rubbers, you might as well buy a new blade...

I am used to playing with Chinese rubbers so they are heavy. I am used to having heavy rackets. There are a few things I can suggest. 1) Do you want to switch from Rakza 7 ot Rakza 7 soft? Supposedly the softner sponge should be "less dense" and therefore, less heavy? 2) I assume you are using...

so some of these equipments are new and some are old. I have three H3 Neo peeled off from other blades, boosted and ready to put on the four blades here (three are wood and one is carbon). H3 Neo, one of them domed with the boosting, while the other two did not. Two red cheap Gambler rubbers...

cool. I like my H3 neo and my STN. I would not say Rakza is like anti. If so, Revolution series does not have much grip either. Is his National H3 rubber really really a lot better than other versions of H3? :) :)

So the EJ inside of me reared its ugly head. I heard so much Big Dipper, so I order it last night from BEO on Aliexpress plus a bunch of other stuff. For 999, it is for old time's sake. For Yinhe Mercury, it is just dirt cheap. For Loki, I am just curious if they are hybrid. Plus Wang Hao backs...

I have never played with Acoustic wood. I have an Acoustic carbon. too fast for me.

what is going to be the new name for tacky version v.s. the new name for the non-tacky version?

I do apologize if my opponent missed his serve. A couple players in the club would say sarcastrically that "thank you" (for missing your servce). I think that's poor form. those players might as well just be quiet.

Good analogy. We are amateur players here. We are not here to compete in the Kentucky derby. we are here to win and enjoy ourselves along the way. A slow horse that is in sycn with you will get you further in life and get you more enjoyment than otherwise. :) :)

Hi Robbie, I am an equipment junkie who has been trying my best to keep my trigger finger off the various table tennis supplier websites. I currently have 6 Tibhar Status Power wood and 2 Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition. can you please update us how you like Sanwei Fextra 7? I love...

That's why some people like Euro/Jap rubber on the forehand while others like chinese rubber on the forehand. I was taught, growing up, by my chinese coach that the most important joint is the elbow that allows your forearm to swing. We started with forearm swinging only while keeping our elbow...

Lol, I rather say that the forum is filled with "more sophisticated" equipment EJ's. Or the equipment EJ's cannot afford to indulge in buying and trying various Butterfly products. :) :)

I feel bad. The OP wanted a Butterfly wood blade. And everyone is like no, everything else is good, just no Butterfly :)

Supposely neo sponge is factory pre-boosted so you should not need to boost out of the box. Non-neo is the regular sponge that you need to boost. However, I have always boosted my neo and even after boosting, each rubber needs to be mechanically broken into for 3-5 practice sessions.

A few comments: 1) Isn't Korbel a bit cheaper than Primorac. If you want budget friendly, Korbel might be a slightly better choice. I know a top player who still uses his Korbel from like 15 years ago! Lol, some top players really do not change their equipment like ours. If they like their...

I think you should get a coach who can teach you long pips.

I get confused by all the available versions of DH3 out there. I think will stick with DH3 neo orange commercial going forward anyway. But I am now switched to Sanwei Target National. It has blue sponge. I just don't know if it is any good boosted. I guess I will find out in a month when I...

I am trying to get my kids to play. I have failed this past month. They got a new 25mm Joola table for christmas. They started playing like 3-4 times a week. Then in the past 4 weeks, they have barely played. I will try again when they are on summer break. I cannot push too hard to turn them...
