Doubleposting Carl, tell us how you much you like the second shot again? :p

Cool. So who is the member who got the rubber and reviewed it months before it showed up in the states? Me?

Exactly - feel means a lot. I actually prefer the hardness of MX-P unboosted or when the booster wears off. Catapult hurts my ability to powerloop backspin. As always, it depends on how you like to play.

Nexy OLAM testing - I tested it with MX-S but I couldn't play competitively with that and now with MX-P, since my important competitions are over. My original issue with MX-P was that it came boosted. I tested it a long time ago (over 2 years, almost 3) when it was new and gave the sheet away...

Go look at the review of Paul Drinkhall's blade series. On every blade in every test, he is using MX-P on the blade, from the slower softer all round to the newest powerspin carbon. Shouldn't that tell you something? In my experience, whether things go together is largely personal and has...

They are essential for high level inverted play as well with modern rubbers as modern technique requires solid contact before the spin motion.

Since AndySmith, who got the MX-S rubber shipped to him from Germany, lives in the UK and is a member of this forum as well as mytt, my impression is that you are making up stuff to fill in the gaps that you don't know and have certain preconceptions about MYtt that you are just supporting with...

I have never understood the concept of a rubber not working with a particular blade. Can you please explain to me what that means?

Slow spinny loop is about the rubber. Yes, you can do slow spinny loop easily. It is the contact for fast loop that is exciting.

At the pro level, Tenergy 05 is still the better rubber, though MX-P is coming close. The key thing is what happens when you hit and spin the ball really hard. Most rubber have sponges that collapse or topsheets that cannot handle the stress of the spin and power. Tenergy 05 does best because...

Say hi to Smashfan, BTW. I have been developing some BH enhancements for people like him.

You probably started too fast. I tell people all the time that it is best to start slow. It's not because you will end up there but because the range is required to build touch and timing.

IT's Donic's most popular rubber and the ESN rubbers in general made before the plastic ball tend to grip the plastic ball pretty well. I use Baracuda because while it is relatively slow, it is pretty spinny and easy to control. The slow speed (Really relatively low catapult) enables you to...

I think that's the bottom line - feel. I don't think I would be able to use this with anything other than a high spin rubber. And I don't know whether I am fully comfortable with the contact depth. But it is good to be able to at least see this and think about how I should approach koto...

Yeah - I do it myself to ward off the Goon squad vibes.

I never varnish my blades and they all look fine to me at least.

Der Echte, I asked a simple question which deserved a yes/no response and you gave me the practice video? Seriously? Your BH privileges have been revoked. BTW, I have some new BH technique. Maybe one day, you will open with slow spin into my backhand to get a taste of it.

Are you trying to say we should take Schlager more seriously than Pnatchwey? Seriously?

This is an excellent series that might help some people a lot: http://butterflyonline.com/weight-transfer-and-using-your-legs/ http://butterflyonline.com/following-through/ http://butterflyonline.com/modern-topspin-strokes/

I agree with you, but the mechanics are different not because of Chinese vs European, but because of the nature of many things about the player. Timo also straightens his arm out more ( not just open his paddle). You can see that he is looking for more leverage on the chopped balls. Timo does...
