    You could us grip tape, specially if the handle is thin. Cheers L-zr
  2. Hello from Norway

    If you get one, make sure to seal the blade with a thin layer of varnish. Spruce and hinoki splinters real easy. I usually first use a thin layer of linseed oil and let it dry (about a week) after this I use a brush to put a layer of varnish on top and let it dry overnight. Before you put the...

    Speed, it’s probably your blade. You are hitting the ball on the side like a hook that’s why it curves. My training partner and I sometimes gets into “duels” where we hook the ball further and further into the FH corner until we’re almost playing perpendicular. It’s lots of fun actually…...
  4. Hello from Norway

    One of the slowest “Carbon” blades is Donic Appelgren World Champ 89. It’s even an outer carbon blade, it has a top layer of spruce and moderate vibrations with (what I think) a great feel… Cheers L-zr

  6. Old and new Hurricane 3 experience

    The “new” H3 is still spinny as a bat out of hell, don’t know of a spinier rubber. Cheers L-zr
  7. Soulspin air pressure

    It may work for some rubbers. You pressurize the air bubbles to get a higher catapult. Why not… The effect should wear off pretty quick though. No chemical involvement so it must be perfectly legal… Cheers L-zr

  9. Simon Gauzy was right or wrong in that point?

    Disagree, that destroys the beauty of the game, I prefer it to be simple and a little more imperfect... There is no way all disagreements can be resolved anyway. Cheers L-zr
  10. Simon Gauzy was right or wrong in that point?

    There are always going to be ambiguities because we have human umpires, that is fine as well as the rules. Leave them alone. This doesn't happen often and as player You should have enough integrity to swallow it. Let it stay the way it is, leave it simple and don't clutter the game with...

  12. Simon Gauzy was right or wrong in that point?

    The umpire don't see things as clear as the players... And since these things can always happen it is better as a player to eat it and let go rather than bringing Yourself to an emotional unbalanced state... The umpires are humans too... Cheers L-zr
  13. Good blade for Chinese rubbers

    Almost any blade, I am using an ALL+ blade with standard Hurricane 3 on FH. Its a bit of a dog from position 3 (far behind the table) but works well on closer range. Cheers L-zr
  14. Simon Gauzy was right or wrong in that point?

    Not if it is at the same time curving OUTSIDE of the table, if not I agree, This is difficult to see from the umpires angle. Cheers L-zr

  19. Picked up my paddle after 12 years… and now there’s dignics!?

    With Your background I don't think its necessary to go back to Mark V. Its a very slow rubber in todays standard. The thing with Glayzers and Dignics'es are that they are very hard. May I suggest a rubber with great spin that has less speed and catapult, is significantly softer and yet a high...
