  1. Big Dipper, Loki Arthur China experience.

    I've never tried K3 but I assume it should be similar to other tensor rubbers. I've played with Vega China and loved it. Once I felt the rubber was losing the bite, I boosted it with a layer or FTL. I boosted it every 3 months and was able to use it for a year. It's very robust despite repeated...
  2. Looking for a backhand-punch rubber

    G1 itself is very good for backhand punch. You'd be hard pressed to find something that can do everything as well as G1. Part of me would like you to keep trying backhand punch using G1 but since you asked for a different rubber than look no further than Vega Europe or stiga DNA.
  3. Why no one plays Butterfly Tamca 5000 blades

    I'll tell you one secret, my short game was better when I was using Gergely or Zetro Quad than my short game with Loki V5. So, faster blade doesn't always mean bad for short game. That's my conclusion so far. I don't use Gergely because the handle pisses me off and I hit the table with my Zetro...
  4. Big Dipper, Loki Arthur China experience.

    Even if K3 doesn't last as long as Dignics, you can always boost it for longer and long lasting performance. Should get you another 3-6 months. I was able to prolong the life of my Vega China for another year like that.
  5. The Dark Side is getting more and more tempting...

    Now that I think about it, if pips and antis are the dark side then what about the EJ? Whish side are we?
  6. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    We can always trick our mind by believing it plays like w968 coz it's the same construction. Well, maybe the lite version. 😂 It's all in the head. Personally, ever since the good experience I have had with Loki V5, my current blade, Imyrather curious whether there's another blade with the same...
  7. Yinhe Big Dipper 38 deg for BH?

    Big Dipper is tacky and grippy so you have nothing to be worried about, it's nothing like AK47. I don't think you can use it as well as your Rakza 7 unless you slightly change your technique. Rather than Big Dipper, try Moon 12 Medium hard and boost it.
  8. Yinhe Big Dipper 38 deg for BH?

    Compared to Mantra M, it's less bouncy even after you boost it. The rubber grips the ball well but the characteristic is different than Rakza 7. Very different.
  9. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    You could try Loki V7-RS for a much cheaper price. Similar construction as W968 and pristine craftsmanship.
  10. What is the best ESN Hybrid rubber for FH?

    Get a 5 ply all wood blade that is either All or Off-. Loki V5 is fine. Sanwei Echo or Parla is also superb. They are cheap but quality is good. God, N80. I had two N80 and I hate it to the bone. The rubber behaved like nothing I have experienced before. It was godly in counter looping...
  11. Is any current top player better than prime Ma Long (2015-2017)?

    I see. Honestly, I don't really see that big of difference in his technique and I thought he was already using HL5 in 2014 or at least something similar to it. Thank you for the info, sir.
  12. Dignics and its Effect on Sales of Tenergy and Rozena

    The way I see it us like everyone will use Dignics at some point in their life. Much like how everyone will iPhone at some point.
  13. Is any current top player better than prime Ma Long (2015-2017)?

    Well, I don't know mandarin or Chinese beyond Xie Xie and wo ai ni. So expecting me to understand what ML was talking about is impossible. The only thing I can read is your summary about the interview. Would be nice if you put it up in your summary tho. Thank you for the consideration, sir
  14. Is any current top player better than prime Ma Long (2015-2017)?

    I see nothing about equipment or technique from your summary. The way you phrase it more like him and his weak mentality when it matters.
  15. Is any current top player better than prime Ma Long (2015-2017)?

    Ma Long was dominating everyone else even in the celluloid era. He came short against WH possibly due to nerves and nothing to do with his technique. In the plastic ball era, he was still dominating everyone. Only difference is he has got that nerves issue solved. To say that he's build for...
  16. Share your Racket's Photo

    Gorgeous weapon there, brother.
  17. The Dark Side is getting more and more tempting...

    Then dark side has taken over most players at one of the clubs in my city. They were frustrated with their backhand and lack of ability to return serve. One day, a sith came to teach them about the dark side. The temptation for power was just too much them I think. Alas, I still have them in my...
  18. transfer training into competition

    Take him to all kinds of competition you can get him into. Drills can only get you so far and experience in the field is more important than just a drill. I was shitty at serve receive but through many competitions, I forced myself to read the serve of my opponents or else I'd lose easily. Had...
  19. How much training and how to train to become a professional?

    I don't know much about private training or group training because I never had any legitimate training to begin with. Most of the time I learn from YouTube and advices from other players around me. What I truly believe is you need a good variety of training partners/ opponents. There was a time...
  20. Need more advices on how to further improve forehand stroke

    Thank you for sharing your multiple balls training videos everyone. Multiball training is something that I have never experienced through my training. Should be able to use your videos and training ideas to improve better.
