Get Glayzer. G1 is good but Glayzer is easier to use, imho. Even better get C1 or Rozena. Instead of focusing on your rubber, you should shift your mindset. Don’t compare your spin level against weaker players, try to see whether your heavy loop can trouble stronger opponents instead.

Should be okay now. Sorry for the low quality.

I'd say mine is the modern one all things considered. At least I think so

The temptation is just too much. For now I'm gonna lay low with the equipment due to the equipment ban. First lady's order.

My thought process at that time was that since I had used a 5-ply blade before, this one wouldn’t be difficult to adjust to. Everything was fine in the warm-up. Loops were easy to execute, and counterloops were a breeze. It wasn’t until the first loop kill that everything went downhill. It was...

Participated in a tournament over the past two days and reached Quarterfinal with my trusted ITC Premier XR. Right before the quarterfinal game, I didn't know what came over me, but I decided to change my blade with a brand new in box Loki K5. Took off the rubbers from XR, only to realize that...

Well, it'd be hard to improve then if you are too afraid to take risks.

If it’s a sparring match, just try to counterloop. Winning or losing doesn’t matter in sparring. Improving your game and building confidence should be your main objectives. Start slowly. There’s no need to counterloop hard like the pros. Just guide the ball with control. In my opinion, we often...

I have watched the first video and well, the only tactic you need to do is to slow loop the ball to your friend's forehand. Even if your friend somehow counterloops it, you just need to put your block on your forehand side. He keeps attacking the forehand side everytime he puts power behind his...

H3N comes factory boosted tho. You might be referring to H3. And yes, I was a long time H3 user. I used to change my rubber once a month back when I was still competing. That’s exactly why I don’t understand the idea of using H3 to improve technique. Whoever is promoting this discourse is...

Unfortunately, we don't have spinsight here. Yes, it's not any more difficult than blocking the loops from Dignics, Tenergy, or Platinum DNA. The level of my opponent matters more than the rubber when it comes quality, really.

Then as I said before, it's your mental-block. Spin and speed are the same and throw angle wouldn't be the same for each shot. Coz a friend of mine finds it easier to block H3 loop.

That could be true too. Several times, Tomo anticipated shots that were usually made by right-handers.

Then why do you boost if you prefer strict teacher that punishes you when you do it wrong? Boosting softens the rubber hence makes it easier to play. Kinda loses the purpose of a strict teacher there, doesn't it? Might as well use softer and more forgiving rubbers. We are amateurs, we don't...

Tomo was losing the point everytime he went reactive against WCG. He needs to take the initiative more against Wang, as Wang's shot quality is so much better than LSD's. Tomorrow can defeat LSD playing reactively, but WCQ pounces on even a slightly soft ball. Best way to deal with WCQ is by...

Because it's slightly slower, hence you misjudged and misstimed the ball. It has nothing to do with angle, really. It's not like you will hit the same angle all the time even when you do warm up. Even if you boost your H3, it doesn't change the fact that it's slightly slower than your typical...

It’s nice to see people moving away from harder rubbers and switching to softer ones for more forgiveness. It’s much easier to dig in and slap the ball with a softer sponge compared to brick-like H3 or other Chinese rubbers. Hard rubbers are less forgiving and harder to use. Even if you can...

The best way to check your spin level is in a match. I believe you find blocking H3 more difficult because you’ve developed a mental block about it being harder than usual. If angle is the reason for it, H2 is a better choice then.

Zhang Jike's D09C being harder doesn't mean he got a specially made D09C from Butterfly. Most likely that he was given a selected piece from mass-produced D09C. IIRC, Timo once uploaded a video where he measured the weight of each rubber individually and mentioned that they were all...

My personal opinion about this whole idea of “custom” equipment for professionals is that it’s mostly a myth whispered among enthusiasts to create artificial scarcity and drive up profits. The pros receive the same production batches as the rest of us. Their equipment is not specially made from...
