  1. Sanwei Dragon Dance

    Considering the Sanwei CC is Off+ :p and is useable by advanced beginners? Those speed ratings aren't really something to look into too deeply :) It's just a way to roughly classify speed and is quite an imperfect measure - there isn't really a better way right now since the industry has adopted...
  2. Sanwei Echo and Parla review - 2023 new all wood table tennis blades

    Those that have sent to me thus far (The Echo, Parla, and the Froster PBO) have certainly ranked very highly in build quality. I do reference in my Froster PBO review that my first unit had some product flaws with loose carbon fibres and that my second unit was perfect. Even Sanwei's budget CS...

    Swing by and check them out when you're in the area :)
  4. Sanwei Echo and Parla review - 2023 new all wood table tennis blades

    It may be something I explore adding to my reviews - I don't usually dive into that kind of technical aspect since I focus on different things about blades but it sounds useful to report on :) Thank you for the feedback
  5. Returning to table tennis, lots of change! Did I buy the wrong blade and rubbers?

    What blade did you use back in the day? My standard recommendation for players changing equipment is to only change one thing at a time. Changing to a whole new setup tends to mean lots of training time needed to adjust to it If I was to recommend something before you bought the new setup I...
  6. Sanwei Echo and Parla review - 2023 new all wood table tennis blades

    Thanks. The 75 inner fiber isn't a current priority for me but I could change my mind 😉. My next plan is to do a play test of the blades in the hyperbudget range and I still have a video project to complete around how to guide for assembling a table tennis bat
  7. Sanwei Echo and Parla review - 2023 new all wood table tennis blades

    Sanwei has released two new blades under their Trio series banner in 2023 and have graciously sent them to me for review. The Parla, a seven ply all wood blade, and the Echo, a five ply all wood blade. To start with, I asked Sanwei a few questions: Parla and Echo are part of the Trio series –...
  8. Tibhar Hybrid MK review

    Got this rubber a few months ago along with the MX-D as a birthday treat to myself. Switched from the Sanwei Gear Hyper to this and after the initial adjustment period of dealing with a greater catapult effect, my blocking and counter-attacking game has gone up another level - mostly in the...
  9. Life, Existence, and the Meaning of Long Pips - The Opus Maximus of James Z

    I appear to have started early with my alternative setup :D - Short pips on FH and long pips on BH of a JPEN blade

    He also used to run a Facebook page but removed it for a reason i don't yet know of
  11. Life, Existence, and the Meaning of Long Pips - The Opus Maximus of James Z

    It certainly reads like a title of a piece where the author/content creator writes/talks about all the instances where Adam may just be dramatic. Would probably work well on YouTube and get some hits but not one I'd use personally
  12. Why PrinceTT never answer emails?

    That's what I imagine to be true as well :)
  13. Why PrinceTT never answer emails?

    Yeah - I've had that happen to me a few times
  14. Why PrinceTT never answer emails?

    purely technically speaking, I haven't the foggiest :geek: :LOL: - I had assumed for simplicity's (and sanity's) sake that it gets 'activated' when swinging hard versus when not doing much swinging. Extremely logically speaking, there's a possibility that the whole activation bit is hogwash...
  15. Why PrinceTT never answer emails?

    The overall speed is relatively slow until you start hitting it harder. The speed isn't high even on more active strokes until you start activating the carbon layer - then it gets fast. I find it slower in general play than the HL5 and the Fang Bo B2X (but that's a fast blade anyway) and the...
  16. Why PrinceTT never answer emails?

    Just by email. Fortunately got a response. I really like my M201 blade after changing from the Stiga arctic wood. Surprisingly got even more consistent with fast counters near the table for shots I was previously over hitting - probably because the added stiffness helped that part of my game...
  17. Post your latest EJ purchase

    I went on an extreme-budget blade buying spree so I could do some testing for fun - Razer L1. Sanwei 3W, Huieson X-1, Huieson V-1 :geek:
  18. Why PrinceTT never answer emails?

    I ordered some rubbers from them and followed up a couple of weeks later - got an email response saying "Order ID XXXX is updated. Order status is Shipped" - got my order about a week later.
