The ebony should be hard but what about the bamboo? "Like a harder spruce", but spruce is soft and bendy, at least the spruce that boat mast are made from. Hipnotic, was the feeling equal on both sides or was it springier on the bamboo side? Edit: I see You didn't test it yet. Cheers" L-zr

I've seen that one and I believe it may be stiff, and super fast even though it is an "inner force" design. Well. see at the review... Cheers L-zr

Bamboo as a surface layer, that's interesting have You tried this before and what is the impact?

Table tennis shoes are supposed to have low soles and be very light. Cheers L-zr

Don't know what You are talking about, my Primo was naked until just before Covid hit...

I have a Primorac Carbon that was given to me in 1996. It is my current favorite. The game is different now. with the new ball it’s gonna be a lot harder to put spin on it. Personally I find Rozena lame but Rakza 7 and Rakza 7 soft is a favorite. Be careful when you remove the old old rubber it...

I think it’s gonna be too thin and I like the feeling of wood. A straight handle should be easier to reshape in case it’s too large, but I think a flared would end up puny. But if you like the tape stuff it may be OK. I would not try this though... Cheers L-zr

Holy smoke, that some tight space you got there, my set up in the office atrium feels like a real luxury now. Great playing guys. Cheers L-zr

Just ordinary exercise will do fine, nothing out of the ordinary. Cheers L -zr

I’m not that good, I’m old, slow and tired now. I recently suffered a heart stop and need to improve my condition. Table tennis comes in handy for that, because it can be just as exhausting as you want it to be. The pisser is I just got started when COVID hit. Fortunately we have both space and...

I have to disagree again, Very few people know what they like after such a short time of playing and besides that was not the discussion. The discussion here was simply should he be able to handle it. And I say absolutely. I never said he was gonna like it. If You have been following my posts...

No it doesn't matter, that is a myth my friend. At that level we are basically the same. If anything the more serious player would have less problems adapting..

I totally disagree, the difference is minute and doesn’t make any difference at that level. Stigas higher end premades are definitely not crap. And I have experimented on this subject and it doesn’t make any difference if you have a couple of years experience. At my office we got a table a...

You’re right about one thing I’ve been playing long enough to know that after 3 years your good enough to play with most blades, but not good enough to draw advantage of, or suffer from the minute characteristic differences. And you better tell Butterfly that their ZLF blades are...

I disagree again, Characteristics like linearity bla bla etc, does not mean much until you get really really good. Until then you need something to grow with and almost anything except the super fast will be OK. When you have developed enough skills you can make your own choice. What I have...

Disagree there too, specially butterfly blades are quite accurately “specked”.

I have to disagree with You here. Superspeed blades should be avoided. But if Butterfly's own rating is correct the blade he selected is rated almost like an innerforce ALC. That blade is not superfast. I think it is better to get a decent blade and adjust the speed with the rubber. Id say Timo...

I prefer the -S type (S Stands for spin and P stands for Power) but FX-P would be alright (It is the softest and slowest rubber in the Evolution series). I don't know anything about Donic rubbers, but maybe yogi_bear will respond to this thread, he has tested most rubbers.

Don't select the fastest of the fast, go for something a little bit slower. I would recommend Yasaka Rakza 7 on both FH and BH since Your old racket most likely had the same rubbers on each side. (It will take You time to find Your favorite anyway). I personally don't like Rakza 9 and Rakza X...

The best part is the handle, but I think it’s a bit stiff and dead. Right now I’m using FX-S maybe the rubber is bit soft but the speed seems OK. I would like a bit more catapult, I actually prefer my two slowest blades before the Akkad. The Primo is a lot livelier and is my no: 1 favorite...
