  1. Xiom Hugo SAL and 36.5 Deep Impact ALX

    a friend of mine has the ALXi and is a huge fan of it. says it has amazing feeling like a normal wood blade and a lot of power. but i never tried it myself. but i played with the normal TMXi of my clubmate and it felt really stiff, had a really low throw for a inner carbon and was way too fast...
  2. Why do you still use Tenergy 05?

    it is still a really grippy rubber and due to the ball change it is way easier to play, so even intermediate players can now control it. the down side is that it is not as dynamic as modern rubbers and the passive play is just ridiculous sensitive to spin even compared to modern more spinnier...
  3. Moral Question Here…

    i think you can exclude the moral part into another discussion, but let me tell you with that mindset you will definitely struggle a lot in your tabletennis future too! the thing that you did here is putting winning over everything else. but winning is just the side effect of good training and...
  4. Banish long pips

    i don't really understand, i mean you know what LP is doing to your serve, so you know what comes back and then you know what to do against, so what is the difference to playing a grippy rubber? and if you have problems to play a third ball on the different sidespin you are used to, why not just...
  5. Moral Question Here…

    i am on the same side as @Sims there would have been many ways to find spots to pull in your game against a five yea old. no need for something where your opponent is not able to do anything against. also the score you posted didn't seamed like you had any problems with the serve, so why just...
  6. Banish long pips

    sorry i misunderstood. yes it can be way easier to receive a serve with different material. but grippy rubbers also have differences. if someone uses tibhar MX-P then they will having a really hard time compared to a rubber like donic coppa just for example. but what does it matter, the return...
  7. Banish long pips

    i would say that people who don't train with their equipment are easily beatable. i mean nothing dangerous happens if you do nothing with an anti or with pips. it just becomes dangerous if they know what they are doing and have a gameplan to get to the strokes they want, same like players with...
  8. Banish long pips

    wow just saw this and this is amazing! really nice skills! <3
  9. Banish long pips

    i like playing against pips. a good way to test my own looping and mental game! but i am also the kind of player that plays rather into the pips if i face an opponent with two sides. to get really good with pips to make a lot of trouble takes some serious commitment to material and a lot of...
  10. Help with choosing rubber .

    1. Tenergy 05 (more catapult, faster, spinnier, but way less control) 2. Nittaku G-1 (spinnier but maybe same speed, or overall to close to vega pro) 3. Xiom Omega V Tour (way faster, just a bit spinnier, but harder to create spin) 4. Xiom Vega X (different throw, but spinnier and faster) 5...
  11. Xiom Hugo SAL and 36.5 Deep Impact ALX

    when i am in the mist of equipment change, what helps me is to think about what i want from the new stuff. you play with nittaku acoustic wich is a really flexible blade made for automatic topspin because by their flexibility creates an arc on it's own and so can easy clear the net. but the flex...
  12. V flat hit / sideswipe FH

    i hate this forehand fade shot too :D i can't do it myself and not really a lot of people doing this too, so they often hit me by suprise, but as you already said this shot is mostly a punishment for a weak and unthought shot out of position i did on my own. i think more then better ball...
  13. Xiom Hugo SAL and 36.5 Deep Impact ALX

    some questions i would have to you: what made you change from HAL to ALX? like what playing properties you wanted that the HAL didn’t give you? and is there something that you miss about the HAL compared to ALX?
  14. Flat hitting vs brushing

    a friend of mine had this problem and we solved this with going back to the drive and learned to play a drive in mid distance. my friend never played a normal drive even in warmup and always spinned to ball up, so from there it was hard to learn to go more through the ball and hold the ball in...
  15. Xiom Hugo SAL and 36.5 Deep Impact ALX

    maybe i can help you a bit, since i play xiom HAL and also tried a tb ZLF one time with the same rubber i had back then. for me the ZLF feels a bit harder and a bit more artificial then the HAL and has more catapult. also the handle is totally different. the throw is also a bit different due to...
  16. Aliexpress Singles Day 2024

    i saw that stiga mantra rubbers are quite cheap on aliexpress. i will get the M version, because they are not beeing sold anymore in germany since some years and i remember them beeing a spinnier alternative to rozena and now even cheaper, really nice! :)
  17. Which are the latest generation Hybrid rubbers from ESN?

    that is just nonesense, i play bluestar right now and this is totally different compared to D09c so why should someone not choose the rubber that suits them best? all of these named rubbers have different attributes and advantages for different types of gameplay
  18. Aliexpress Singles Day 2024

    viscaria and timo boll alc are different blades not only for the handleshape. i don’t know exactly but i heard that the gluing process is different to make the boll alc more elastic. but since the production differences are already broad inbetween one bladetype with weights varying between 78...
  19. Is butterfly overpriced

    my coach was sponsored by tibhar and told me they had different segments of what kind of deal you get, depending on how high you play and how young and upcoming you are. the lowest would by to just get some rubbers per year maybe like 20 or so (my coached used one fresh sheet of MX-P every month...
  20. Footwork..

    nice that you can feel a implementation already, but also give yourself time to adapt, stuff like this can take sometimes over half a year of regularly training to take over in match situations depending how long you already have that habit and how old you are
