  1. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    When was the last time you have used Mark V and Rozena for a substantial period of time?
  2. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    I'm aware. And we are also talking about how what you do as a beginner translates later down the line.
  3. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    Yes, my choice of words may not have been precise - it is more about the contact you make not so much literally swinging hard. You can make direct and well timed contact even in a controlled manner when things get out of control, but becoming too addicted to thin brushing and lifting everything...
  4. What is Cho Seungmin using now?

    So-Ten handle yes, but unfortunately that doesn't mean that it is actually a market version So-Ten.
  5. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    The harder you strike the more the difference between ancient relic rubbers and modern offensive ones, though your mention of shoulder problems might imply that you do not reach high impact shots where this difference becomes obvious. This also explains why high level offensive players...

    He lost to him 3-0 about a month ago at WYC.
  7. WTT Star Contender Doha 2025 - 6-11 Jan 2025

    Oh Junsung versus Redzimski with Butterfly rubber: 3 games won, 0 games lost Oh Junsung versus Redzimski with Tibhar rubber: 0 games won, 6 games lost OJS looking at his racket non-stop after misses.
  8. WTT Star Contender Doha 2025 - 6-11 Jan 2025

    Paranang is good and left handed.
  9. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    Actually, not nearly as much with the plastic ball. But that isn't the main point here. If you are forced to swing upwards you have very limited options to put the ball on the table with quality. Swinging forwards enables a much wider range of racket angles and contact types that allow you to...
  10. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    It is not the racket angle but the stroke direction and how you approach that stroke direction dictates everything you do to the ball
  11. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    Bold assumption that half the people here have not tried Sriver or Mark V, the two most classic rubbers in the table tennis world. Does that prediction also apply to half the people that are recommending it? :ROFLMAO: Certainly there are people talking like experts though... :ROFLMAO: I...
  12. WTT Star Contender Doha 2025 - 6-11 Jan 2025

    Great final point in Pitchford Quadri. Don't think the result was ever in doubt but Pitchford put up a good fight.
  13. Dignics and its Effect on Sales of Tenergy and Rozena

    An important consideration here is that Butterfly owns their means of production and ESN companies do not.
  14. WTT Star Contender Doha 2025 - 6-11 Jan 2025

    ZYL 3-0 (3,1,5) vs Suh Hyowon...wow.
  15. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    Oh I see it almost every time I read the forums and just have to laugh. Old wisdom seems to die hard, though I also keep in mind that when there is someone who views the difference between say a 5 ply wood and an inner carbon blade as life or death, all other things being equal, there is a...
  16. Rumour new Butterfly flagship rubber

    Incoming "Zeed 03 alternatives?!" threads...
  17. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    I believe it was in a Butterfly Japan promotional video but can't recall the exact one at the moment. He said something along the lines of always recommending his students to start with the actual rubber they will play when they get to a higher level. I'll see if I can dig it up.
  18. Bad equipment ≈ Good player?

    NO! My Hurricane WILL force me to learn proper technique since it doesn't create any power for me!!!
  19. Liam Pitchford signs for Joola

    Flint Lane lol. Though it seems like there is still a lot of work to be done for MLTT.
  20. WTT Star Contender Doha 2025 - 6-11 Jan 2025

    Giving up on a player, especially a junior player, after one loss is foolish. Especially when you realize that Walther is a former German champ who has always flown under the radar but has a solid level, in 2019 beating Falck (who was 2nd in World Champs that year) and Franziska (who beat FZD...
