I also successfully play the forehand only with sticky chinese rubbers J2, J3, N-80, H3 plus a booster, and with N-80 also baby oil. But there is a nuance. This is a change in the properties of rubber under the booster over time. When you play regularly, this is not a problem, because in a short...

There are no trifles, everything is important.

The Rakza Z was also not suitable for me on the forehand due to the high release angle and the speed limit on strong shots. In addition, it is very soft for the forehand. Also, the RZ was not suitable for the backhand due to the lack of speed compared to the rubbers I was used to - Vega Pro...

For me this weight is critical. I play rackets with a total weight of 186-189 grams. More than 190 grams is unacceptable for me. A light blade of 80+ grams, even with a high frequency, does not have power for my taste, the optimum is 86-89 grams plus two rubbers with an average of 50 grams each...

Yes, this is an option, but not everyone likes the tape, and it also adds weight. Heat-shrinkable tubes are especially heavy, weighing up to 4-6 grams.

This works very well on the blade, where you want to remove old glue without ruining the surface. The handle itself becomes soaked with sweat and therefore it is better to wash the handle with soap and water.

Just wash the handle with warm water, soap and a sponge and then dry the racket thoroughly. Soap washes away sweat and dirt from hands well. You can sand with sandpaper only very carefully and not get carried away with this, so as not to remove excess and make the handle too thin.

Hurricane is most likely not worth taking. It is better to approach the Hurricane from the Eurotensors through Jupiter 3.

Hello from Ukraine, @ToH! My advice to you is to play with such equipment as you would like to hit harder and at the same time you are not afraid of missing the table. And it will be a pretty slow setup. Because if you take too fast equipment, then you will begin to shorten your movement...

Let's take a period early in Ma Long's career and look at his backhand. How can he play a modern 40+ ball with such a backhand? But the fact is that every normal athlete adapts and changes his technique to fit his equipment over time. Also, let's look at the forehand of modern young Chinese...

Look how Zhang broke the sides with his feet, undressed and threw his T-shirt into the hall after defeating Ma Long. And this was not an isolated incident. Is this the behavior of an exemplary athlete of the Chinese national team? Will such behavior, which millions of young Chinese will look up...

Who better than you should know what missing training means for an athlete.

To compare a weak forehand with the forehand of ZJK, you can watch the previous match Timo Bol - Joo Se Huyk. Everything is relative.

ZJK then beat the world's strongest defender YSH, who was also in excellent shape at the time, solely due to his forehand.

You wrote about this yourself. Not about the material of the ball, but about its size. And now you link to the material? I started playing with a 38 mm ball, then I played with a 40 mm celluloid ball, then there were many types of plastics and they were all different, so I understand what we are...

Clear victory! Moreover, Ma Long was in excellent shape.

The 40 mm ball replaced the 38 mm ball in 2000. Zhang Jike entered the top 10 in 2010. Do you think that 10 years of playing with a 40 mm ball is not enough to change an athlete’s technique for a new ball? Regarding Zhang Jike's "not stable base forehand", just look at his game with the...

Jupiter 2 has a stickier surface than Jupiter 3. Red rubber bands are stickier than black ones and stay sticky longer. Jupiter has a higher release angle than a hurricane and also reacts more to incoming rotation. Jupiter also has higher speed when hitting without spin, but topspin at maximum...

In my opinion, Zhang Jike at his peak of development was stronger than Ma Long. This is the ideal tennis player - very fast, strong legs and equal strength and technical perfection in forehand and backhand play. The beauty of Zhang Jike's game is simply on another level

I don’t care what’s going on there in your russia. When will you withdraw your troops from our land, when will you stop launching missiles at our peaceful cities and killing sleeping civilians?
