To me on the backhand side I switch between H8 and Xiom Vega X. New vega x almost 100% outperforms Chinese rubbers, however after only 1 week of everyday play the ball starts to slip a lot during the shots where I have to be more passive (meaning, the top sheet becomes unusable in some...

One more short vid with Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive (aka YEO), DHS Skyline 2 provincial blue sponge and Xiom Vega X. Overall, this is the best combo I think for me. If Rosewood V and Intensity V are somewhat similar, then YEO is a different beast. Trajectory is more flat, a bit easier to use...

When I was little I thought this is real. These days I'm still impressed on how they managed to make this video.

Down to personal preference, only you can decide what's best for you and your playstyle. I personally don't like the curled fingers on the back, it just doesn't fit naturally to me, however straight finger is better so I kinda settled on that. Also, notice how relaxed your grip is, it's pretty...

Good to have another table tennis movie, especially with good budget and actors. Besides Balls of fury (comedy), As One (Korean sports drama) and Ping Pong the animation, is there really any other movie/cartoon about table tennis?

All blades mentioned are 'power' oriented choice. H3 suits well both 301 and outer carbon blades. Of course there's more spin on those potentially, but in my personal experience outer carbon blades always produced more spin on thin brushes. Have a look at the trajectory of the ball from Wang...

Well, Azalea is 5 ply wooden blade with 5.6mm thickness(!!!). The 'crispness' comes from the outer carbon blade (+koto). I think 5ply wooden blades are fine, but not that thin for a modern ball...may be you should start saving for a new blade and keep the rubbers. T05 is an amazing choice for...

Since there's no information about your level, stay with DHS H3+booster on the forehand since you're already accustomed to it, this rubber literally is for every skill level. As for the blade...no idea what's your level, but Stuor blades are very much fine and within your budget. Try other...

That moment when ML and XX hugged each other at the end...man, to me this felt like a true end of a legendary era of table tennis. Table tennis in 2014-2020 is much different that today's game, even though the ball hasn't change since then. Players adapted and play way more aggesively and close...

If you have an option to try out all of these then why not decide by yourself?.. it's completely up to your technique and personality

And in addition to that Stiga Rosewood NCT V + the same rubbers. Rosewood feels stiffer, but on powerful shots it's still flexy. I think it better suits poly ball to be honest. Opinion regarding rubbers didn't change: B2 is still very controllable, spinny, but not powerful. H8 is ok :) My...

This is my main setup currently. B2 without booster works ok, still worse than boosted DHS Skyline 2/H3, it lacks power a little bit, but still spins the ball and is a bit more stable/predictable than boosted DHS. My opponents have much easier time blocking against b2, but this forces me to...

Be careful with that thing edit: huh, this is Stiga rubbers thread. Every time my friends or opponents used Stiga rubbers it's either these wear out really quick, or the spin is much lesser compared to Bty or DHS rubbers. The speed was ok.

2 months sounds very good compared to what I experience. I am waiting for 729 Battle II National (golden package) and Battle II gold (purple sponge) to arrive. I've used 729 B2 prov. blue sponge, but in my experience it can't be compared to DHS rubbers, unfortunately. Less spin and top spins...

penhold dreamer

Is it only for me or Haifu Seamoon really does last only for 1-2 days? When I boost (or reboost, it doesn't matter) with 1 layer of Haifu the effect on the first day is amazing. The second day is already meh, playable but already feels dead'ish. And on the third and later it's unplayable pretty...

May be he sanded it a bit like penholders do?

Wood is wood, you can't find two identical pieces. However, with proper quality control the difference between two blades might be much less, I think you mostly pay for that. That doesn't mean that cheap blades are bad, it means that the probability of getting a good one is less. I bought 5...

Great vlogs, thanks for posting!

Try working with a shovel using hands only and then using core&legs. Big difference. Table tennis teaches a lot, same as martial arts and other sports where kinetic chain is used.
