  1. Friendship 729 battle 3

    I keep saying that. I also have it on Innerforce ALC, which is 1g lighter than B2, the same sickness, a bit faster and stiffer though. I was switching between bats and finally picked B2 as the main one, it gives me better feel and I can hit harder with it. The throw is quite high though Didn't...
  2. Yinhe Big Dipper 38d: practical and non-serious review

    I believe it was in 185-186g range with Tibhar BS1 and closer to 190 with Xiom Off S
  3. How to stop losing 2:3 after leading 2:0?

    At least this time I felt that my bat is still great Possibly this. I definitely prefer shorter points to long rallies
  4. How to stop losing 2:3 after leading 2:0?

    No worries, I don't expect a magic pill anyway
  5. How to stop losing 2:3 after leading 2:0?

    That's the thing. I've already solved some of my problems how not to give away too many cheap points and it boosted my rating up but some mental issues are still here.
  6. How to stop losing 2:3 after leading 2:0?

    On one side it's touching that you say I didn't notice somesing and it's not completely my fault. On another in such cases it ends up 1-3 usually.. 2-3 are always special because of the feel being close.
  7. How to stop losing 2:3 after leading 2:0?

    The trick is there were none, really nothing special. Of course there are much stronger players who I can't beat no matter what I do.
  8. How to stop losing 2:3 after leading 2:0?

    Could be of course. But often we mortals don't have a coach to suggest something. Thus I incline to blame myself more.
  9. How to stop losing 2:3 after leading 2:0?

    It's less disappointing in case the opponent changed tactics and outsmarted you. Often it's not the case.
  10. How to stop losing 2:3 after leading 2:0?

    I believe many have or had this issue. I remember only a few occasions when I won 3:2 after trailing 0:2, last time it was against a higher rated anti-player, which was extremely satisfying, but usually it's other way around. Like today. It was like my FH was fast, spinny and difficult to block...
  11. Good Forehand Rubbers instead of Tenergy 05?

    I was worrying that there were no Chinese rubbers recommended yet 🤣
  12. Friendship 729 Battle 2 National vs Friendship 729 Battle 3

    You can get speed, spin and power even from Big Dipper if you don't have deficiencies in your technique and power. B3 feels quite similar to boosted H3 OS but with better flat hit and slightly lower tackiness. B2 Prov is like H3 BS, their fans love to talk about impossible to return topsins but...
  13. Which of the 4 Innerforce ALC blades is the best?

    Define the best? ALC.S is the slowest of the pack Ovcharov is the stiffest and thickest Regular innerforce and Harimoto are quite similar, the latter is with oversized head
  14. Need help selecting a carbon blade for a developing player...

    I lately feel it's not 5+2 blades can still be quite flexy, flexier than 7ply and with a better block than 5 ply. There is a common opinion about bad feel with carbon blades. I guess it comes from early 3+2 extremely stiff blades. Thinner ALC blades feel OK if you don't go for a really fast...
  15. Dignics-Tenergy combination

    Tacky rubbers are slower and usually harder, which requires much more effort with BH shots. I prefer 45-47 degrees relatively direct eurojap rubbers.
  16. Rakza Z vs Glayzer 09c

    PK50 is discontinued. You still can find and stock them though.
  17. Dignics-Tenergy combination

    Not everyone likes tacky rubbers on the backhand side, that's it
  18. Use of signals in doubles

    Some of my opponents in leagues actually used them. I tried to use it with my ex team mate last season, didn't work well though. Overal there were too little practice playing doubles, especially lefty-righty tactics. I use little finger for backspin and index for a long serve, you can combine...
  19. Looking for Xiom blades!

    I have a well beaten Diva, which I can just give away and almost new Offensive S. Sending them to US would be too expensive to make any sense though.
  20. Recommendation for, slightly slower, long lasting Rubbers

    80 and 90 is for 1 or 2 sheets? It's definitely too much for 1
