It'd be nice to see Dan review it soon!

I was doing the same then started to go a bit lower with more room around the wing just like you, and I'm experiencing the same positive results. I think that more wrist movement producing more relaxed and controlled strokes without losing any speed is the right path.

I think Butterfly has a kids size handle as well, although it might only be for the European market. All the kids I've seen play in the US play with regular size handles, some of which even seem too big for me. And my hand's not small, but long and skinny. That's why I stick to ST, feels better.

Definitely no need to break the bank! :)

Yes, that's what I saw. His advice has been very valuable to me on multiple occasions, and other equipment experts' advice goes in the same direction.

Around how many grams? I guess the good old Butterfly Sriver or Yasaka Mark V then. I hear Xiom Vega Intro are good too.

Yeah! That was great

I'd go with Yinhe Galaxy 896 blade and Dawei 2008XP rubbers on both sides. You can't go wrong with Carl's advice.

Very nice! It has the piece of thin wood in the middle, right? I think my friend has the same one in kelly green from when he was a kid, he still uses it.

If he has a good FH, which he should have at French level 10-11, it might no be a bad idea. Starting with the softer Tibhar EL-P on FH (T64 might be too hard and fast).

You won't find me anywhere near the top of this list unfortunately! ;) But one of the guys in our A team is in his 50's and in the top 400 (top 40 when he was young). And we have a 15-year old who's in the top 800 and consistently moving up (100 spots each of the last 2 years).

And he's smiley too

Good blade. I meant putting pips on your BH instead of your Anti, since your BH is where your experience difficulty. Or Sriver on both sides...

Have you ever tried playing with Sriver FX 1.9 on your BH? Maybe you you could try playing with it on both sides? Or switch to some pips on the BH? What blade are you using?

Ah here it is! Been eagerly waiting for this one! Thank you Dan & Paul

Stiga Allround Classic with same rubber on both sides, either: Yasaka Mark V, Butterfly Sriver or Xiom Vega Intro. I'm sure Carl can recommend something even cheaper.

If you have the opportunity to train at a better facility, yes of course. Otherwise why change? Only your level or connections pr money can open you the doors of a better training facility at home or abroad.

You can always borrow or try to borrow from players that are better than you or great coaches, you can start by doing that from the best players or coaches at your club, then at the next better club, level etc etc. not just from videos of the best players in the world. You don't become Ma Long...

How am I forgetting? We have to acknowledge/not forget that MJ winning 9 National Championships is incredible. And that Tomo winning his first All Japan is incredible, especially at 14. And while we acknowledge that Tomo has an even more incredible potential given his age and what he's already...

Get the best training you can get and afford locally or internationally, and train as hard as you can. Always try to reach the next level without trying to skip steps. If the next step is finding a better coaching structure and training partners and you're good enough for that, then they'll take...
