  2. I TESTED MA LONG’S ACTUAL TABLE TENNIS BAT!

    why you think that? before i entered the forum i never hear about fishscale, too! don't get me wrong, i knew how it looks since i play koto blades most of my life but always thought that would be a defect or bad quality. so basically i also chose blades that are 'clean' and without fishscale...
  3. I TESTED MA LONG’S ACTUAL TABLE TENNIS BAT!

    same as i was taught and i am european. (straight arm sounds weird, i think you mean relaxed arm. and what is a forearm snap anyway?)
  4. I TESTED MA LONG’S ACTUAL TABLE TENNIS BAT!

    no, i think it is just the unusual feeling of a heavy boosted rubber. 42° dhs is 60° in euro scale (basically a brick) but with 3 or more thick layers it feels more like a normal hard rubber like around 54 euro scale. together with the softer wood...
  5. I TESTED MA LONG’S ACTUAL TABLE TENNIS BAT!

    i mean dan plays an really stiff outercarbon blade, so quite normal to have an easier time with the slow and flexible innercarbon malong blade. rubbers also way less bouncier and sticky compared to his dignics hence the better grip. but you can see overshooting quite some time, due to the higher...
  6. Xiom new collection (2024)

    but i need to say that i am excited about the omega 8 euro! the omega 5 euro was one of the best backhand rubbers i have tried and only had the problem that it was kinda heavy and maybe not as dynamic as the newest rubbers. the omega 7 was more dynamic but also a lot softer and had less spin and...
  7. Xiom new collection (2024)

    you are right, but it was interesting that this would be the only 'non-existing' blade that is used for photo op and then with the hugo logo. let's see! personally i think it would be good for them to get back on track and to have a buyable blade from their most famous player, especially after...
  8. How many complete racket setups do you own?

    @Grumms how would you rate the outer blades of yours and what did you think about the loki rxton 9 CNF blade? looks like an interesting composition with CNF and basalt interwoven as for the thread: 2x xiom hugo hal with the same rubbers as in my profile 1x loki kirin 5 with loki rxton 9 and...
  9. What's the best blade of fan zhendong series?

    anybody a fan of the CNF blade?
  10. What's the best blade of fan zhendong series?

    even if the blades have the same weights they will play differently depending on the wood they used that day. i have two different hugo hal blades with the same weight and the same rubbers and they play similar enough to switch them in competition and play without a problem, but if they would...
  11. Xiom new collection (2024)

    a picture of hugo and his assumably new racket. looks totally different from the catalog, and no releasedate yet. idk what is going on with xiom right now, but they are changing a lot of stuff last minute as seen with omega 8 rubbers.
  12. A light Chinese rubber with a little catapult and decent spin

    i tried loki rxton 9 and my sheet was 45g in 151x157 on my hugo hal. pretty light for a preboosted rubber
  13. What is the technical reason Ma Long and top pros love W968?

    the better you get, the more quality you receive from your opponents. the more they can trick you with spin, placement and decisive movements and break your rhythm. then it is not anymore about pure speed, or pure spin or pure technic. you need to have everything at once, all the time, at your...
  14. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    no it's just interesting how different the exact same composition can be. i my opinion golden viscaria is a big scam for that price. over 800€ for a blade? you can adapt to most material as long as you play long enough with it. and for players where every lil small 0,5% upgrade matters will get...
  15. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    @hipnotic do you know how the timo boll ALC differs in that realm? i always noticed that the timo boll plays different then viscaria / fzd alc / zjk alc but everybody said it must only be due to different weight. but can't really believe that, because in my time i played a lot of different...
  16. Switching between inner and outer carbon depending on season/humidity

    for me it was mostly rubbers that change the hardness depending on the heat. never had that with a blade @Lazer you should try the andro synteliac vco blade series then, because they tend to be between 80-84g. a lot of players i know love them and they all got really light models
  17. Andro NUZN 55 vs DHS Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial

    interesting thoughts about that topic! thanks a lot for the explanation. i totally agree that h3 can be used by allround players as it often is advertised in my tt shops just because it is super slow over the table. but as an offensive player there is a need for a lot of training, footwork and...
  18. Andro NUZN 55 vs DHS Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial

    i read this sentence very often in this forum and i really don’t know what to do with, because i know a lot of high level players that play second bundesliga wich is a translated level of 2500+ usatt and all of them play normal tensor rubbers like mx-p, tenergy 05 and rasanter 48 from the...
  19. Andro NUZN 55 vs DHS Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial

    but even soft chinese rubber are still demanding to play compared to cheap tensor rubbers like vega x. most players i know that have or had an injury switched their equipment, some even to pips. so really would like to know how you do it. do you play league matches?
  20. best tt shoe?

    i played mizuno wave drive 8 and 9 and they are both breathable and don't start to smell if you just let them dry for one night. asics are horrible compared to them. i think it is a really good tabletennis shoe, only that it is designed for proper TT flooring and sometimes has problems with grip...
