If you were in the US, I would recommend gambler X3 gold label (25 US dollars vs 55 for Rakza Z EH). I know table tennis 11 has good deals at times and I assume you don't have to fight tariffs like we do in the US-you may could by a sheet or two when it goes on sale.
I don't think X3 is quite as...
RX is less spin sensitive and RXX is more so compared to each other. I think I can control the ball and keep it shorter than both with RZ although it is tacky and Neither RX or RXX are tacky at all.
I have not played as much with Dignics as I have RX and RXX, but I found them different.
I have flopped from RX to RXX back to RX and over the last month or two back to RXX on my forehand. I am trying RX on my backhand (comparing with RZ and R7).
RX is better at control. I find I can hit my...
Cut to a yasaka falck W7 or carbon, I have a could of sheets of RXX max at 47 grams and one sheet of RZ max at 49-50 grams. All black. So it looks lighter for used sheets with the glue peeled off. (also measured some older sheets of RX and R7 max and they were in the 46-47 range as well)
I play with the Falck carbon blade, but have seem a few newer carbon blades made by Yasaka. I still think the Falck carbon is a their premium carbon (yes I know it's inner carbon). Are the resonate series as good? What about the atletico series?
Thanx. No one I know uses those blades.
I have played LP for years (no longer-I have been double inverted for about 9 months now). Trumpauskas has some text book games on what NOT to do-giving sidespin on your serves, not playing dead long serves, attacking all balls instead of occasionally pushing and re-setting the point. Maybe he...
First I will say that the Goriki is a different beast-and while it has high control, its attacking properties (imo) is VERY limited. But I will also add I like a little harder sponge than 729 super soft 35 degree-729 tackspeed in 2.0 is a very versatile rubber and great for control, defense and...
I will use it if I can't find a review for certain material or need some ideas about how to play against a certain style. I basically use it as a semi-enhanced search engine. I prefer info from TT forums.
10 weeks is plenty of time to give a blade a good trial, assuming you have your rubbers all set. Also assuming you are not playing once a week. That said, I think the longer you play with a certain set up that you continue to get more comfortable with a set up over time and even over a year or...
I have to give Sanwei credit for trying, but at some point repeated releases of a rubber suggest an inability to deliver what buyers want. I for one would just go with either Hurricane 3 if that is what one wants. For me I think Friendship Battle 2 provincial or national versions is the way to...
How do we do matches? Mature players handle disagreements like adults. I would say in a day tournament where I play 10 singles matches there are one or two points that we disagree about (was it an edge ball or side ball; what the score is). I for one would rather lose than win by cheating, so I...
I have always felt that while I want to train and get better or play competitive matches, that I have a responsibility to work with lower rated players. (And yes, there are players even worse than me). Every player who goes to a club should spend at least some time working with a lower level...
As the great Paula Abdul sang:
STRAIGHT up now tell me, do you to love me forever (oh, oh, oh)
Or am I caught in a hit and run
STRAIGHT up no tell me, do you really want to love me forever (oh, oh, oh)
Or you just having FUN?
Yes says almost every LP player ever. I have the filus blade and have tried it with a number of different rubbers-almost all fast. I found the filus to be to flexy for very fast rubbers for me. Prefer more linear.
I am settled on R7 max on backhand and RX 2.0 on forehand on the Falck carbon blade. RX is a nice upgrade in speed for R7. I agree R7 is not a great forehand rubber in my experience.
