I've watched her playing in last year contender series, at this level defensive choppers are quite invincible tbh.

You should vary your receive, an aggressive long push or a push to set up the opening loop can be better choices rather than just focus on BH flick

Truls had an amazing comeback in the 2nd set. But tbh, I feel like Truls wasn't able to play much tricky shots like he usually does against asian players, Alexis has chosen the right tactic to push long and initiate rallies

Watching Uda playing these days is just sad, it seems that he'll never be able to improve his backhand.

From my experience, playing with tacky rubbers requires you to go through the ball (hit forward) more to exert force while doing the same with tensors cause the ball to fly out. Thus I often see more upward motion from tensor rubber player than those with tacky rubber

I've played with Palio Energy 3, it's not friendly at all for beginners, the 5+4 structure made the blade too hard that it's difficult to feel the feedback vibration. If you're looking for 5 ply blades then maybe try Yinhe N10s or Loki Violent V5

In my country, lots of player especially the elders love the butterfly sardius which has this composition. I've tried blocking and hitting forehand topspin with it a couple times, I can say that while this blade gives you great speed for less amount of force, it's too bouncy for close table play...

My TP3 is 39 deg so the sponge is quite softer than R5 (I guess R5 falls to 40-41 deg), I don't use booster so sadly I can't give you any further reviews

then blows it all on a Las Vegas trip lol

I've used Rxton 5 without booster on my FH for about 2 months as a replacement of my Target Pro 3. I liked the fact that it's bouncier and easier to generate spin compared to TP3, weight is also lighter too, so it helps with my recovery. The downside is that although having tacky topsheet, Rxton...

Chen XT lost against Han Ying was somewhat predictable, long pips defensive player is her kryptonite

what I usually do after gluing new chinese rubber is removing the protective film and leave it out the air overnight, the tackiness will wear off the next day, enough that you can play with it comfortably

It's sad that Togami lost but he has shown a glimpse of his growth, I'm looking forward to him going further in later tournaments.

Roskoff should've scolded Filus and made him go get the racket as well as apologize to the camera woman

Since you're a returning newbie, an all-wood blade would be the best to regain ball feeling and rhythm. Beside PG7 you can check out some other Clipper clone blades like: Loki Violent V7, Sanwei Fextra, Yinhe 437 Pro, these are around the same price, even cheaper than PG7. For rubbers, I think...

Watching her play in Goa, I'd say she has tremendous room for growth. Her fundamental technique is much more solid compared to her compatriot. Placing Miwa and Nagasaki's game against Wang YD, it's obvious that Miwa handled Wang's spin and speed better than Nagasaki did, thus more ready to...

I haven't played Jupiter 2 on my fh yet but from my experience with Rxton 5 (no booster/speed glue used) I'd say that it was a bit fast at the start but once you're used to it then there won't be any problem, it'll be a great rubber to improve your forehand. Btw, what's the hardness of your...

me too, tbh we won't be able to use those high-end rubbers to their full potential so it's not worth buying them anyways

The 9000 series is more beginner-friendly, the shot is more linear and slower than Mercury 2 so it's better to use speed-glue or booster when you play with it. The topsheet of 9000 deteriorates quite fast (about 1-2 month) and along with it is the durability of the sponge, all 9000e and 9000z'...

Imo, top 3 cheap rubber manufacturers are: - Yinhe - Loki - Sanwei As a low-budget player, the rubbers from these 3 have crazy high price-performance ratio.
