  1. everything feels so slow....

    I've got a spare Schlager Carbon - Haven't ever tried anything quicker than that! I can even rough it up a bit to make it look fake - I know you'll prefer it then ;)
  2. Which poly ball should you choose?

    Hi JHB, I last played in 2010 for one season, before that, it was 2006 - As for what balls were used back then, I honestly can't remember! When I came back in the summer of 2015, I went straight into using plastic balls - Mostly the XSF40+, but I've used quote a few different brands over the...
  3. Which poly ball should you choose?

    Had a hit with the Butterfly G40+ last night..... Absolutely horrible! First Impression: It has a weird metallic surface to it - It feels quite thick and heavy in the hand (and on the bat!). Spin generation was very poor! Reaction shots would typically be hit low/short due to the sheer...
  4. G40+

    2 out of 5 rating for G40+ Had my first hit with these last night...... Very underwhelmed by the ball. First Impression: It has a weird metallic surface to it - It feels quite thick and heavy in the hand (and on the bat!). Spin generation was very poor! Reaction shots would typically be hit...
  5. G40+

    Review by 'NDH' on item 'G40+'

    Had my first hit with these last night...... Very underwhelmed by the ball. First Impression: It has a weird metallic surface to it - It feels quite thick and heavy in the hand (and on the bat!). Spin generation was very poor! Reaction shots would typically be hit low/short due to the sheer...
  6. April World Rankings 2016

    I wonder if it's the same as Tennis. If Mizutani had reached Semi's or Final the year before, but only reached Quarter Final this year, he would lose points (that's how it works in Tennis anyway!).
  7. Similar Rubbers to Tenergy 05 FX

    Hi Russell, This topic has been discussed to death lately - There are some pretty solid answers if you search the forum. In a nutshell....... Nothing is as good as Tenergy. Tihar Evo MX series comes closest. However, in the UK, the price difference between Tenergy and the competition isn't...
  8. How to 'practice smart'

    Well I can't really argue with those points! And yes..... I am looking at this from a more advanced point of view. One of the downsides to the forum...... Advice is so different for so many different people - It's impossible to cater an answer/opinion to allow for all levels of reader!
  9. How to 'practice smart'

    OK - I understand what you are saying. I think our points are slightly different - If I want to crack on with 2 hours of solid training, looking to improve and get some real practice in - Nothing beats hitting with other similar abled people. In comparison (purely to the above), training on...
  10. How to 'practice smart'

    In what way do you feel practicing on your own (other than serve), is better, than practicing with a partner?
  11. How to 'practice smart'

    I would say serve practice is the ONLY time you should practice on your own (if you are going to practice alone that is......) I see no major benefit to practicing on your own at any other point - Even serve practice with a partner has more merits than being alone. Perhaps you need to find...
  12. choose one

    Ok - I understand that - Who doesn't like opening new things! Personally, I'd be much happier opening the real deal every now and then, than fake stuff on a regular basis. But I know a lot of people who, like yourself, enjoy opening new stuff regardless of authenticity! What are your overall...
  13. choose one

    Neither, they are both horrible! Out of curiosity, you've explained why you buy fakes - Which I understand (even if I don't agree). But why buy multiple fakes? The playing characteristics are going to be just as bad as your ZJSZLC - If it was purely for the design, fair enough (but you would...
  14. Shuki Development and Questions

    Wow - Fair enough. Not wishing to divert from Shuki's excellent thread, so I won't comment anymore (after this). All I'll say is...... Guys who attack with pips are tricky, because it takes the time away to think about what you are doing! However..... He looks no where near (what I had been...
  15. Diary of a Penholder...

    Hi James, It's probably worth sending a link to your TT365 page - People can then see how you've improved from that first season, to this past year in Div 2. Well done mate!
  16. Shuki Development and Questions

    Does this JP play with pimples? What USTT rating is he?
  17. is paulownia kiri?

    According to my favourite website "The Wood Database" - It is Kiri.... http://www.wood-database.com/lumber-identification/hardwoods/paulownia/
  18. The right knee during forehand powerloop

    Different strokes for different folks! I put about 90% of weight through my right leg - Assuming I have time to set myself for a big power loop. If you can get a fast arm speed - It should be absolutely fine. I've posted a couple of videos in the past - As you can see - I'm not your...
  19. Slower rubbers to learn better technique?

    It would help to know what you are using now. You say "slower rubbers" - But...... slower than what? :)
  20. US Rating VS Rest of World

    Thats irrelevant mate - The idea (I believe) is to make a local ranking (by pulling data in from national events etc) - If your league doesn't use TT365, nothing will change :)
