There is nothing to challenge...

The truth has nothing to do with it. It’s how the dish was served...

c’mon sober up man. In my book bb is nothing but a big a••h•••.Having comments is OK, but in that way, it was waaay out of line. Suggestion to the moderator, close this thread.

Exactly, that is due to the lack of spin... And because speed counts more, the game on average got quicker...

The world is full of self ordained professors... Cheers L-zr

I’m with Brian on this one. That’s a pretty decent loop.

Hi my no:2 is an Innerforce ALC.S. I have not played seriously for 40yrs. I had no problem putting a Rakza7 on it. The ALC is only marginally faster so I will suggest Rakza7. A MarkV would work to, but be a bit boring. Use the rubbers you have now, get a new one these are finished, you can do a...

Great, me too but it was 40 years ago since I played seriously. I got a Butterfly Primorac Carbon that was given to me 1996. That’s my current no:1. cheers L-zr

I have two of those blades (Primorac Carbon and ALC.S), Primorac Carbon is much faster.

Hmm, Thanks for the picture. I think I may do it wrong. But if You think about it should really be obvious when You think of the directions of the grains. It didn't cross my mind. Oh well I know now. Good luck with Your blade. Cheers L-zr

I have both a Primorac Carbon and and an ALC.S (and an Akkad coming), I have small rips in both. I always varnish but it may still rip. I have no idea if some woods rips easier than others.

Interesting, I seal the entire blade a thin layer of ordinary varnish, and it hasn't ripped for me at the edge yet. It doesn't rip every time, just every once in a while. It has not ripped through the layers only on the top layer. I don't peal off from a particular side. Maybe I'm doing...

Oh no, 3 months, that a little optimistic, and I expect my rubbers to last 6 months to a year.

You have to remove the rubber from the blade, this without causing damage. If there is a damage You have to fix it, then wait a day or two before regluing. No thank You, that is something I want to avoid...

The problem here being if You get used to it it's difficult to live without it. And it's a pain in the a**.

Sure my logo (Innerforce ALC.S) wasn't perfectly flush either and I don't use edge tape so the edges are a little banged up. And when You change rubber the top layer will eventually rip a little. I fix this with a thin thin layer of varnish. Cheers L-zr

Thats no big deal. It looks perfectly legit to me. Its mostly hand made so some imperfections are expected. The question is. Is it playing good and can You feel it, if You can then does it bother You? I'm sure it wouldn't bother me. The Making of Table Tennis Blades and Rubbers...

That's plain physics, a smaller ball can rotate more laps on a given surface. A smaller ball has less air resistance. The finesse You are talking about I believe were mostly due to the spin factor (Almost no defensive players today). With the spin factor gone You need to focus on other things...

I can agree that there are two different era's but the game on top level today i believe is FASTER than it was before. But there is less spin involved. Where did all the defensive players go? Is there a secret hangout for them??? When the ball changed the spin was taken away the players have no...

I believe it is harder, and I beleive it has marginally more speed. Cheers L-zr
