  1. How does a semi-pro make money playing TT?

    The LOL moments will be when I can't even touch the ball and trip over my own feet 😂
  2. Penhold LP

    Yeah, the point of going for a thicker and stiffer blade like Clipper is to eliminate the springiness and flexibility-related characteristics of thinner blades while also maintaining some softness with the limba outer

    Two thin layers of glue on rubber, one on blade

    Tronix ZGR black (169mm x 169mm) and ACC blue (171mmx171mm) ZGR came with a plastic nonsticky protection sheet, but topsheet is slightly sticky allowing the protection sheet to seal. ACC is not sticky and came with a paper protection sheet typical of nontacky ESN rubbers. ACC smells like...
  5. Penhold LP

    Depends on how the actual blades play. But vanilla Clipper should be a bit softer and more balanced and better for control, whereas CRWRB should be harder and more aggressive for better speed and funk.
  6. Penhold LP

    I think Clipper is a great OX LP blade, soft but stiff

    I have to say, the finish of that 729 blade in your pictures looks pretty good. I have bought a few 729 blades a while ago and the quality was always pretty average
  8. Next step after Xiom Allround S > Offensive S or Ignito or other not Xiom blade

    SPW/OffS/Solo will be similar to the AllS but upgraded. They are stiffer, harder feeling, more solid/less vibration, higher speed blades than AllS. Should work fine with VP. Solo is different in behavior to SPW/OffS, the 5 ply blades have a bit more flex that IMO gives them a higher arc and more...
  9. Next step after Xiom Allround S > Offensive S or Ignito or other not Xiom blade

    I like this blade a lot, but it is basically the same blade as the Xiom Offensive S just with a slightly different head shape and size. Heavier overall weight than OffS because the headsize is bigger, but better balance as SPW handle is larger.
  10. rxton 1 for training

    I have Rxton 1, came in separate pack. For the price its a very good rubber, but there's a reason as to why you are paying less for a pre-assembled racket.
  11. Next step after Xiom Allround S > Offensive S or Ignito or other not Xiom blade

    I don't like balsa, too empty feeling and makes for a stiff and bouncy blade, I don't like light blades either. I stand by my recommendations
  12. Heavy but flexible blade.

    Doesn't sscb have 151x156mm head?
  13. LP tutorial channel

    The way I see it, the tpbh chop block is more in line with the way your arm wants to move especially when compared to a regular tpbh punch or drive. Assuming right handed, tpbh attacking needs to guide the ball towards your rh side, but the upper arm and wrist for tpbh is manipulated so that you...
  14. Joola customer support - Joola Dynaryz ZGX

    I just ordered a Tronix ACC and ZGR, the code coupled with TabletennisGan's recent positive ACC review plus the fact that the ACC also comes in blue is what did it for me
  15. Please recommend long pips rubber for me!

    https://www.dandoy-sports.com/metal-tt-brutal.html I've never tried the Brutal rubber, but it does sound, er, brutal. But if you're looking for a cheap lp that does fun stuff, try Bomb Talent or GiantDragon Talon National, 388D series is more commonly used by choppers and hitters as it is a...
  16. Most controllable Tenergy rubber?

    Depends on what the definition of controllable is, but for someone trying to get the tamest and least sensitive Tenergy, 25FX is it. I don't see a point in playing a Tenergy rubber just to use the least special one but to each his own
  17. Next step after Xiom Allround S > Offensive S or Ignito or other not Xiom blade

    Difficulty is subjective. AllS and Ignito are on completely different ends of the spectrum when it comes to construction and behavior. I don't think it is a bad thing to test carbon, after all it is the most ideal situation to test firsthand in order to gauge compatibility. But seeing as you...
  18. Penhold Rubber Selection Advice

    I dunno if he ever used TG3, I thought Ma Lin was well known for using TG2, before that I think he was using Globe 999 and had a brief stint with BW2 around the turn of the speed glue era
  19. Tenergy for $42?

    Looks pretty fake, price is the first red flag because Tenergy is the last rubber to be discounted, second red flag is that you're buying it from overseas which Butterfly is fairly strict about, third red flag is that it uses old packaging and old logo which were phased out around 2014, seems...
  20. Nittaku Flyatt Spin and Rigan Spin?

    Rigan is by Yasaka. I've heard its in the Ventus Basic/Vega Intro class of babys first tensor type rubber. I tried Flyatt Spin on a friends racket, it just felt like nothing special, pretty ho-hum. The Nittaku Factive felt more solid and secure to me, I'd buy that over the Flyatt Spin any day.
