  1. Best Viscaria higher quality alternative

    Inspira plus - handle is that concave/flared or straight?
  2. China Smash 2025

    Sorry - Truls complained about the knee but said it wasn't the knee that caused him losing. He said Uda played really well! In the first set he was faulted for tossing the ball at an angle larger than 30 degrees. The referee was positioned so she couldn't see the toss. Viewing it from the...
  3. Met former Sweden natl player from 1980s/90s name "Peter" today at work

    Most likely Peter Karlsson, European champion single, world champion double and I think four time world champion team. Belongs to the Waldner Persson generation. I envy you this meeting :)
  4. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    For me the throw is lower then Rakza 7 but higher than Stiga DNA hybrid comparing the M versions of Stiga.
  5. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    Hello I find that one need to clean the Mantra Oro regularily in order to keep the grip. Doing so I do not find Mantra Pro lacking grip in short play. The ball dig in for me. Maybe need good techinque involving short loops in order to lift backspin.
  6. 50 degrees Hybrid comparisons (DNA hybrid H vs Bluestar A2 vs. Rising Dragon 2 vs. Golden Tango PS)

    DNA Hybrid H is not slow. It is comparable in speed with Mantra Pro H. Maybe a bit slower but not by much. Difference is that it has lower throw but is easier to lift still. It is harder even though 50 sponge both of them but not terribly much harder feel.
  7. Grip tape

    I find many blades have too small handle for me. My current preference, in avoiding grip tape, what that I found the Donic Waldner Offensive, very fitting for my hands. I play quite offensive but the right rubber works really well even if 5ply wood. It is large more like a straight but with a...
  8. Can Dan & Tom get Helix Platinum to review?

    Is it easier to lift backspin compared to original platinum or Mantra Pro?
  9. Truls using new stuff from Stiga in Yokohama

    Hi, Firstly please don't discuss age and I am not in the mood for that which should tell you something. In terms of reading comprehension - well many teenagers cannot spell in their native language even. Anyhow, your post was mostly lamentation so I felt free to give my interpretation. Sure, of...
  10. Truls using new stuff from Stiga in Yokohama

    So in your world Stiga should have similar price as Zyre? The more expensive the more it sells... Well as for marketing and old customers - were offered a decent discount on Helix. That is smart marketing with the old customer base.
  11. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    II have played for a year with Mantra Pro M. It works really well both on forehand as well as backhand. Loops great both BH and FH Slap - better then expected Blocking - really good Counter push on backspin - works great not so spin sensitive. Smash - good on both FH and BH Chopping - works but...
  12. Europe Smash Sweden August 14-24 2025

    1. For me it was the best game in a long time 2. In the past he could budge in the last points against Chinese but he managed to keep his coo, now. That was very impressive since it is not easy to focus with home crowd either. I think it was the same tables as in Yokohama and I do not think...
  13. Europe Smash Sweden August 14-24 2025

    OI agree - without clubs this soon becomes a very washed out pro sports. Sweden and Denmark would have no truls, no Källberg, Falck, Lind and so forth without successful clubs. For further development the participation in German and French high level clubs have been very important. just to...
  14. Truls using new stuff from Stiga in Yokohama

    Actually the Stiga parent company Stiga do both things - see stiga.se instead of stigasports.
  15. Truls using new stuff from Stiga in Yokohama

    Imagine how high the cars would fly for some little thing on the race track due to the bumpiness of the tt rubber :)
  16. Europe Smash Sweden August 14-24 2025

    I agree - easily the best sporting event I have looked at in a long time. Crowd and level of play and the nerve of the matches :)
  17. Europe Smash Sweden August 14-24 2025

    OK I very much agree with your statement above. I was just opposing the judgment of worst. In my opinion it is very difficult to compare so I think we should avoid such statements. It is very easy to criticize young players - there are way to large expectations upon them and putting unrealistic...
  18. Europe Smash Sweden August 14-24 2025

    Actually Truls was very fast also so not so easy to win against with his current level of play. It is the third time he is in a major final WC and Olympics before. He was able to keep his Cool at the end. I doubted it for a while. LSD did a great match therefore the extremely enjoyable match...
  19. Europe Smash Sweden August 14-24 2025

    WHAT A FINAL SET. Truls has raised himself one level since olympics.
