  1. Setup Question Long 5 + Rubbers??

    i think he only struggled because your movement is pretty slow so a good player will intuitively think: less spin. but if you have a good touch then you can load up with spin even though the movement is not fully developed. i sometimes have this too when my short backspin serve in forehand comes...
  2. Setup Question Long 5 + Rubbers??

    if you want to stay with your defending style and your allround play then there is nothing against this. i actually think it is really nice and refreshing, because most beginners nowadays are only playing the same style of offensive game, so i really like that you don't want to push yourself...
  3. Setup Question Long 5 + Rubbers??

    i really would advice against Hurricane 3 if you not get coached. it is just not worth it with all the hustle of boosting and all. especially for the way you play. you will just confuse yourself even more. hurricane 8-80 i would say yes and rakza z too, but to tell you the hard truth: it really...
  4. best tt shoe?

    the newer mizuno model 9 are a bit wider so i went with half a size smaller. my wave drive 8 are in 26.0JP/40.5 and weigh 275g
  5. best tt shoe?

    sorry even lighter! weighted them at 235g in 25.5JP/40Eur
  6. Difference between these two glues?

    i also bought sueke no.2 on suggestion by this forum and need to say it is really the best glue i ever used. way better than rev03 that i used before. the consistency is slightly thicker and thus better to spread. no weird smell. it holds on the bat really tight, but when you pull it off it...
  7. best tt shoe?

    the new mizuno wave drive 9 are even wider then the old model and fit my foot even better. i have wide feet too and with that it is quite hard to find any shoe nowadays, sometimes feels like they get narrower every year :p the wave drive 9 are 246g in my size
  8. W968 vs Viscaria

    okay then i am sorry, it sounded like he wanted you to change for nothing in your first comment. but if you decided to train then even better :)
  9. W968 vs Viscaria

    i would go with others and really question what kind of coach you having that doesn‘t know the basic difference of offensive play? viscaria and hl5 are so completely different that you would only switch if you really want to change your entire game, as the others already pointed out. seams like...
  10. Backhand Rubber: Xiom Omega V Euro, VII Euro or Vega Korea

    i played with it some years ago and i think omega v euro is an amazing backhand rubber, that can keep up with the performance of harder rubbers despite beeing a bit softer. you will definitly not get this with vega korea! it will be a downgrade for shure. the only rubber i know of that can...
  11. Sanwei shoes - order issue

    i also thought actually to buy and try them, they are a rebranded model of the speedart shoe that cost way more then the sanwei product and looks so nice. i normally wear the mizuno wave drive 8/9 but sometimes they are a little slippy when you don't play on proper floors and i heard the...
  12. An Jaehyun back to W968

    the introduction of the plasticball is already 10 years ago. so a lot of time to adapt and no WTT yet IF there is a need for change of blades. some people just changed rubbers and this has waaaay less impact then a blade. and some people are also not sensitive to either the feel of different...
  13. An Jaehyun back to W968

    i would also add to this: most professional players are not EJ's and have one blade they chose to play when they where quite young and then mostly stick with that for a looooong time. imagine to be a fan of ZJK when you where quite young and then buy yourself a viscaria, in the idea you will...
  14. Donic Bluegrip C2

    i didn't played it till it was done since i switched to bluestar A1 before, but it was normal esn sticky hybrid rubber durability with having a bit of early wear and tear on the topsheet that didn't effected the play but mostly stayed the same. judging from that and my experience with other...
  15. Donic Bluegrip C2

    i tried both and they are really different rubbers. just because they made in the same factory doesn't mean they are the same. K3 is softer and has way more catapult, a hybrid closer to tensor. C2 is more in the realm of D09c, a hybrid closer to chinese.
  16. Someting similar to Xiom HAL?

    since i play hugo HAL i can attest you that donic PPP plays nothing like it. HAL is way stiffer and way faster with a lower trajectory. HAL plays more like an easier to play outer carbon blade while PPP plays like a slighty stiffer 5ply allwood. Falcima same as PPP but stiffer and faster...
  17. Difference between sticky rubbers and non-sticky rubbers

    once i tried the hurricane 8-80 in the really soft version and i think it just get's to slow with the tackiness. you need to put some power in to overcome the tack, but if the sponge is soft, then it doesn't support the power enough like a hard dense sponge would. also the ball hold was way to...
  18. Difference between sticky rubbers and non-sticky rubbers

    really good article! some things i wanna add to it from my own experience: tacky and hard rubber are more precise and follow your stroke better. the more spin you put in, the higher the ball fly out and the flatter you hit the more direct the ball flies. so the window of ball curve and...
  19. SDC Handmade Blades

    if you already decided to have the priority line, then i would say suck out the rich and make the priority price really high so that the waiting line there will always be low and by that you can afford someone helping you with basic steps of production to produce more blade for the normal line...
  20. New Xiom blades?

    maybe you should look up dark limba and then know why this is just a normal variation. mine look like the one in the picture more dark and gray not as orange as in ttgearlab, but as doppelmoral said, we will never know for shure and if you rather want to believe that there is some dark secrecy...
