Actually graphs of how different composites transmit vibration frequencies carried out carefully would be interesting to me. But I don't have any. Some players are using cell phone apps to look at the sound blades make one a ball hits but one needs to look at the whole spectrum I suspect and...

Luck. Feel in your hand if there are several you can choose from. It's a great blade. Even the bad ones are really good so don't worry too much especially at 90 g which is perfect.

I have hit with the SH version and I always thought that was a good blade.

Following up on my last post, it is clear that TT companies think that the different weaves of what is essentially the same carbon fiber can produce blades that play differently. The company I linked to above produces TeXtreme (TM) which is the "secret ingredient" of all Stiga Carbonado blades...

Jawien, the site below will give you an idea of what is possible. That company produces a vast variety of fabrics woven from carbon and from fibers like Zylon and Kevlar. It is quite likely that this company supplies materials to some blade makers, almost certainly to Stiga and maybe others too...

EL-P is a bit lighter. Not a bad rubber. You would adjust to it fairly easily.

There is no way to know what you like without trying it.

People have already mentioned that how close to the surface the carbon layer is located is very important. The closer to the surface, the more you feel it, whereas if it is deeper, the blades feels a bit more like a pure wood. But there is another set of issues, mainly the weave pattern and...

That stroke is called Wilhelm. The one that comes after it is named Karl. (Sorry).

Whatever you are using but go one step up in speed and hardness. Alternatively, keep your current rubber but go to a slightly faster blade.

A fine of some sort is the usual penalty.

I am pretty sure we know each other and have hit balls a few times. Are you about 2100 and originally from Kazhakstan ?

Time. It just takes time and this is common in adult learners. Don't get frustrated. It is like learning a choreography. You are slow and clumsy at first. Later you get more graceful and learn new steps faster. You have to learn the partterns at slow speed and then speed them up. But stick...

Yep. Other people's blades are how I discovered most of tne stuff I have used for long periods of time. I have used Viscaria for most of the last 11 years thanks to a clubmate. It was ok with MXP.

Could you talk about the place you put your index finger on the blade when you return serve? Should we all be doing it the way you do?

In some places I have played in China there are no lets! Probably not even if a comet strikes the earth. I find this pretty awful. The thing about unwritten rules is they are violated more than written ones. I have never actually led 10-0 in a serious match, so I don't actually know what I...

If a player has certain technical limitations that they can never change, in competition they can learn to make what they have work. I am not ssying that no technical problems can be fixed in adults. But the solution that fixes the problem may still look a bit unorthodox and they may discover...

Too many coaches train adults the same way they train juniors and end up injuring them. They coach the way they were coached as kids. This is not optimal. Coaches who are good with adults don't try to correct every technical flaw but can help a player get better with what they have. Players...

Next Level might know. I like the blade I use and won't change it and so haven't tried Ksris with anything else. I think the sponge kicks in on most shots. I think the reason Karis feels so linear is they have made the internal pips as short as they can while still being legal. So the dynamics...

My thoughts exactly. That phrase is very misleading, and is ironic now that the Chinese government is returning to a distinctly more Maoist perspective. (And also, given the fate of LGL and Ma Long leaving tbe China Open). I hope Ma Long gets his body and mind healthy and returns to his usual...
