A table tennis blade consist of layers of wood, normally 5 or 7 layers. Almost always an uneven number. The core is usually the thickest layer and the fibers are runnining top to bottom, the next layer has the fibers running left to right and the next one top to bottom. This makes the blade...

I’m not that far behind and I remember breaking several blades… Truls was throwing blades way before the hex blade.. Cheers L-zr

You forgot what it’s like to be young…😉 Cheers L-zr

No, not even close, it’s an abdomination gaahh…😱 Cheers L-zr

If You are playing with what You say in Your profile and do it well You should not have to ask, You should know already.... My take based on Your question, disgarding Your profile: Id say the 5 ply allwood Korbel is a good choice. But here are It has a little larger head (158x152 mm) than...

Well most players already have a contract and switching blade is a huge thing on the highest level. I thing Stiga has has something going here but it's nowhere as big as some people claims. Anyway if nothing else its still a pretty cool looking blade... But honestly I much prefer SDC. Cheers L-zr

No more silly rules thank You.No more ball changes, it’s bad enough as it is…It’s impossible for all tables and balls to be identical anyway…All the changes has eliminated entire styles of playing already… CheersL-zr

No you obviously do not understand, it depends on the top layer a soft layer like hinoki breaks much easier than a hard one like walnut. But any wood may break. The longer you wait to change the rubber the worse it gets. A layer on top prevents the glue to penetrate the surface and thus it forms...

I care not to get the top layer destroyed when changing rubbers. maybe You dont...

The question here was wether this was glue or lacquer,

Impossible, speed and control are each other’s inverse. High speed low control and high control low speed. Cheers L-zr

The surface is too even, if it’s glue it should be more wavy… Cheers L-zr

Sounds like a bad glue job… Of the blade itself… Cheers L-zr

Have you ever seen varnish on a voided boat? It depends entirely on how it’s done and with what type of lawyer. I use a thin layer of good old fashioned varnish. It looks pretty much the same as the picture. You don’t need to use a high gloss one but they tend to give a harder surface. Cheers L-zr

No can’t be it too glossy…

That’s funny because a thick layer of glue is far worse in that sense compared to a thin layer of lacquer… Cheers L-zr

1. It protests the blade from the water in modern glue. 2. It prevents the top layer to rip when changing rubbers. I always always always use a small layer of lacquer. I also remove the rubber side to side. I used to have problems with top layers ripping now it was a long time since it did...

I love Nittaku premium I think they and DHS DJ 40+ are the absolute best, both have seams. You don’t really need to feed your robot with that quality. It’s better to change the robot rather than have to go chasing balls that are no longer made. Cheers L-zr

Didn’t know about the process, thanks for the info. CheersL-zr

No the top sheet can make a lot of difference. Yes the leftover method will work. But seriously you will need an instrument to do it properly. And also all the stated hardness is approximate, it can vary. Cheers L-zr
