  1. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    I use Mark V to slow down a blade that is too fast for me, it works excellent. Of course I get less spin but that’s it. Cheers L-zr
  2. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    Hah, you can hit exactly the same shots with Mark V as any other rubber (offensive pips in of course). You are just perpetuating an urban myth… Cheers L-zr
  3. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    We are talking about beginners here 🤣🤣🤣. Cheers L-zr
  4. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    No it has nothing to do with modern or old fashioned. It is a slower and a little less spinny rubber that’s it… Cheers L-zr
  5. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    There is reason for this is a lower ceiling. Yes you can do power loops but with a little less power. I avoid playing away from the table because with H3 my shoulder can’t handle the power it requires from distance. Cheers L-ze
  6. First setup for basement player

    Make sure to do a proper review later… Cheers L-zr
  7. Donic Persson Jubilee 40

    Persson used to play with the fastest blade among the Swedes. I stay away because of this…. I’m more like an Appelgren player (allround). My guess is it is on the faster half of the court… Cheers L-zr
  8. Harimoto Innerforce Super ALC

    The harder you hit the more the carbon layer kicks in. An outer generally kicks in earlier than an inner… Cheers L-zr
  9. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    There is not much difference in the swing compared to other rubbers. It’s a little bit slower so you either need to open the angle a little bit or strike a little bit more upwards, but the harder you strike the lesser the difference… Or use a faster blade.. Cheers L-zr
  10. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    Racket angle and stoke direction is connected… Cheers L-zr
  11. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    There is always a difference in angle when striking the ball and you will need to adapt. Besides there is not much difference in that sense between Mark V and Rakza 7. Mark V is slower but it has maybe the best topsheet in Yasaka lineup. It doesn’t get the kick from from the sponge but many here...
  12. Bad equipment ≈ Good player?

    When you are a beginner or close to I think what matters is a set up that: - Has decent speed but not too much. - Not too much catapul - Not too spin sensitive. I remember a guy in one of my clubs who came equipped with Primorac carbon and T05 and T05FX. As soon as you put him under just a...
  13. Country specific style.

    I don’t know how accurate the answer is, but if I could choose I’d choose: Japan. “All-round attacking style with fast transition”. I am an allround player but I definitely need to work on my “fast transitions”. 😇 Cheers L-zr
  14. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    In the 70’s with long long absence. Started 1971 and quit 1975. Picked it up again 2019. Cheers L-zr
  15. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    I’m dead serious… Cheers L-zr
  16. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    Well, Rozena is a dead rubber to me… I can get more out of Mark V…. Cheers L-zr
  17. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    Sriver = Mark V Rozena = Rakza 7 Tenergy = Rakza X Dignics = Rakza Z Not really identical but close enough for marketing, for amateurs it doesn’t matter that much. And I’m sure all the other manufacturers have their own alternatives too. Cheers L-zr
  18. New Equipment -- Budding EJ

    No it was absolutely not. I used it BEFORE speedgluing was discovered in the 70!s. And the type of ball just doesn’t matter. It’s a little slower and harder to spin that’s it. Cheers L-zr
  19. Xiom Vega Euro Hybrid

    Practice more. Never played Tibhae MK FX, but Tibhar MK is really easy to topspin with. I can not imagine that Vega Europe hybrid beats Tibhar MK Hybrid FX in the spin or speed department…. Cheers L-zr
  20. Boosting Hurricane 3

    The reaction is so much faster that I believe it contains an agent that reacts chemically. And paraffin oil doesn’t react nearly as fast, neither will evaporate fast. Cheers L-zr
