  1. A stiff all-wood with a soft feel?

    Another good choice would be Donic Persson Powerplay. Both DPP as well as Fack W7 has larger sweet spot. Don't forget how the handle fits you.
  2. A stiff all-wood with a soft feel?

    Yasaka Falck W7 is a really solid, 7 plies are, but with great wood feeling. It is like clipper quite fast also.
  3. Top 5 OFF- (Offensive minus) blade?

    I agree. It has really great control. It is not heavy and with small wings extremly controllable in switching from fh to bh and vice versa. I have karge hands anatomic handle fits very well. Straight handle for smaller/normal sized hands. No experience of flared. You can upgrade with time with...
  4. Donic true carbon inner

    Hi Banda did not use spruce rather pine from the north which is much more elastic and stronger than spruce. Woodhouse that produced/produce many blades for both donic and yasaka use pine instead of spruce. That is why dicon and waldner offensive and also ma lin extra offensive have their...
  5. Has anyone tried DONIC J.O. Waldner Gold Edition?

    How is the handle - for larger or smaller hands?
  6. WTT ranking vs Swedish public service

    WCQ and LSD on ITTF they were almost head to head the week before so there are probably only two alternatives: 1. They have lost some points from some time ago since they have become too old? 2. ITTF didn't sum up correctly Cheers
  7. Recommendation for upgrade Blade vs change the rubbers

    If you have the possibility test Rakza 7 soft which, take max size, which gives you good control. However, the more modern rubbers are less spin sensitive, so if you can test Stiga mantra Pro M for medium. Both these rubbers are reasonably priced. Mantra Pro M is faster than Rakza 7 Soft. In...
  8. Recommendation for upgrade Blade vs change the rubbers

    Hello, It depends how satisfied you are with what you had? Do you play offensive game or allround? From your setup I guess more allround? If you feel you have too little power and spin then I'd go for one of the newer rubbers. They are a little bit easier to play than those from ten years ago...
  9. CORKSCREW --the best rewarding type of spin.

    Mozart of table tennis has such serves since a long time. Check out when he meets Dan from tabletennisdaily and instruct in how to do this type of serve. Whatever they are called they were effective! As for dimensions there are actually two horizontal axes. We play table tennis in 3D and not...
  10. Large Hands And Flared Handles

    Hello I have large hands - flared are to short for me an d works mostly for inclined fh. For me some movements become restricted. There are different straight and anatomic grips that not all fit or are adequate for large hands. Of course your playing style might be affected by the handle and one...
  11. Need advice for a allround+ blade with a big handle

    The Donic Waldner Offensive in Anatomic has a large handle - I have broad hands and it fits me very well - better than other large handle blades I have tried. It has a really deep hold and very good control. It is slower than 7-ply hard but faster than Yasaka all-round and Waldner allround...
  12. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    I have not used Rowena so someone else here who knows?
  13. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    Here come some thoughts from a person back to TT after many years. Not an expert opinion. I have tested both Mantra Pro H and DNA Hybrid H. The DNA hybrid H is faster just as stated on STIGAs webpage however the Mantra Pro H is also a fast rubber - quite faster than Rakza 7 and closer to DNA...
  14. Question for Tom "The Frog" about Stiga rubbers.

    Tom Hello - loved your YouTube of the Hybrid. Was there any difference in the short play between the Platinum and Hybrid? Spinsensitivity? What Platinum did you test?
  15. Stiga DNA Platinum Rubbers

    How easy difficult are the M and S in the short play? If anyone knows are they similar to the Mantra Pro H or M in level of control? Otherwise any comparison to Rakza 7 or Rakza 7 soft?
  16. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    Remember there are three different hardnesses. Mantra Pro H is faster than Rakza 7. The Pro H has better control. I have no experience of M or XH. Mantra Pro H at least as spinny as R7 or Rakza 7 soft. Durability I have no clue have not used the rubber long enough. All I can say it is really fun...
  17. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    I have used the Mantra Pro H for a couple of sessions now and it is really good. Great control on a Waldner Offensive JO Shape. Weight - only indirect but is about 15 g heavier than same racket with Yasaka 7 soft for the pair so around 50ish grams. I'd liked it a little bit lighter weight...
  18. How to measure blade frequency?

    You will also have the sound from the ball not to forget. There will probably be different frequencies coming from the longitudinal as well as the latitude of the racket. Further it is also the question how fast the vibrations are being damped also what amounts of overtones are being produced...
