  1. Need even more advice on equipment /s

    If you get the hurricane boost it with the holy china national dragon pee. It might obviously contain Volatile organic compounds though.
  2. Applegreen Allplay or Timo Boll ALC? (+ rubbers?)

    Because no one wants to be labeled beginner. There is a stigma associated with this "level" or "title". Intermediate is very safe word. No one will be upset if one is called that. I don't realy put too much faith in such labels though. For me personally, the only way to judge someones skill is...
  3. Applegreen Allplay or Timo Boll ALC? (+ rubbers?)

    Don't totally agree. Kind of.. Sort of. Appelgren is slow, but it is as slow as any other allround blade. I do actually think it's faster than Stiga Allround clasic. It also depends on rubbers too. When I used my friends Appellgren with Hidden Dragon and 9000D, then yes it was painfully slow...
  4. Applegreen Allplay or Timo Boll ALC? (+ rubbers?)

    You are comparing an 9mm pistol and AK47. Which do you think is easier to use in continous fire.
  5. Testing Simon Gauzy's Table Tennis Bat!

    Simon knows what is good in blades. I use Corni Gauzy Quest and I really enjoy it.
  6. Equipment recommendation

    Agreed with Mr. NDH. Get any All to All+ blade you like and pair of middle of the road rubbers. You can also get an M8 + 2*729batwings on alliexpress for 15$ and that will be great for the first year. It will came preglued, ready to play. Consider first blade as a tool to learn. Get something...
  7. SDC Handmade Blades

    What kind of glass fiber raw material you use? A regular fiberglass used for modelmaking or some fancy cloth like this (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32629858126.html)? What density (is that a proper term) of carbon you use (how much g/m^2) (if that is not secret)?
  8. A good all around blade

    Ok. I will give a little more generic answer. There is a link between the sound blade make (it's pitch specifically) and blade's speed. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tnzuhP98Iwl3_ZYIKs770Z4GeEXB1cPaF6xXC3IMLfg/edit#gid=0 Go on that google sheet and find a blade with "frequency"...
  9. A good all around blade

    Isn't the Korbel around Off- though? When talking about All blade, products like Appelgren Allplay, Sweden Extra, Alrround Classic come to my mind.
  10. Very close-up photos: Butterfly ZJK ALC

    What is even more interesting the the joint is off the axis of the blade. I thought the join runs from the tip of the head through handle. I wonder if that makes a difference :/
  11. Stretching to avoid stress in leg muscles.

    Thank you very much for your advice, I will gladly take it. Unfortunately, Poland being Poland my appointment is scheduled for 2027 so I think I will have to find a private consultation lolz.
  12. Stretching to avoid stress in leg muscles.

    Isn't Achilles tendum in the back of the calf?
  13. Stretching to avoid stress in leg muscles.

    It's hard to pinpoint it exactly. Right side of the right thigh, above the knee slightly behind
  14. Stretching to avoid stress in leg muscles.

    I have a stress in muscles after trainings in the highlighted zones on the picture. First one is on the right leg (only) on the right side near the knee. Second one is in the front of my legs, on the lower tibia (the lower front part). The second one is mostly felt after prolonged rope skipping...
  15. Cheaper version of w968

    Fang bo 2 has exactly same wood order, don't know about thicknesses though. There are also 2 threads on this forums discussing clones. HRT pro and yasaka athletico power are most notable ones.
  16. Cleaning rubbers

    I use water spray and suck it dry with this: I have this device laying around for cleaning windows and most of the time I clean my rubbers when I come from practice. When it comes to wether it prolongs rubber life it depends on the rubbers itself. Sticky rubbers get filthy quick when not...
  17. Which is the best blade for a backhand dominante player?

    For all of us. My coach always says "come and lets practice" which solves "equipment problems" in most of my cases. Slowing down, constant repetition and bucketful of balls does wonders.
  18. How does tax in Poland calculated?

    According to Art 87 par. 1 of work codex netto is what you get. Brutto is netto + tax + ZUS. ZUS is about 1300, tax is 18-32% (depends on amount). There are two modes of taxing. Proportional, 18% for earnings below ~83k and 32% above that amount and linearly 19%. So if you expect to earn more...
  19. Best Brand Over-all?

    Yes I meant Reactor, Sry. My bad, I will correct my first post. The butterfly rubbers for around average players like are no more than decent. I've got no benefit from using them. They are not magical solution to every problem people claim to be. So for me, they are just average. EDIT: Also...
  20. Loooking for FH rubber for Stiga Allround Classic WRB

    Maybe you are just using too hard of a sponge? Vega China is 54 degrees (which would be about 40 in dhs, no?). You also did not like 39 degree. Yogi in his reward said that Vega China rubber needs brushing action so maybe your contact is too thick? How long did you try to adjust?
