No injuries.

Thanks for the great information! Especially to teach me the word for ping pong in Japanese. Now I can probably search for places everywhere in the country. I love Japan, I go whenever it is possible.

Glad you took it with the humor intended. The bigger problem I think non-native speakers have is with the completely arbitrary use of "the" in English writing. My wife often asks me to edit her technical writing and I always end up adding a "the" here and there and taking others out. When she...

Then you won't mind my pointing out that the capitalization of the word "language" in the first sentence of your second paragraph, while correct in German, is not correct in English, either when using it as an abstraction (as in "humans differ from other primates in having a spoken grammatical...

That is wny tbey have Mantra rubber. So you will accept it calmly wnen it happens.

What makes you doubt? It looks quite real to me. $200 for one of these is a good price at the moment.

Copydex (sole as Tearmender in North America) is tricky to use. It tends to dry too fast, forming clumps, and for that reason is hard to apply and I often would get an uneven surface. A couple of solutions to this problem are to apply several coats, also to dilute it a little 80-20 in water)...

I would like to know this too. I am actually at Narita airport right now (returning to US from China).

Nittaku finezip. Btfly Free Chaque 2

I used that model of blade starting in 2007 until a couple of months ago. At least 12 different Viscarias. Nothing like that has ever happened to me. Hasnt happened with my True Carbons or ZJK ALCs either, which have more or less the same composition. My guess is a bad glue job, especially...

Some years ago I owned Axelo and Ignito. Both extremely fast and stiff. Outstanding build quality but for me unplayable. Later I had a Stradivarius, again great build quality but I found its weight balance not as nice feeling as Btfly ALC blades. Have not tried their slower blades. Again, in...

Up to a point it is just getting used to a bit more weight. I suspect people wno think they need lighter setups can actually be better off if they go heavier and stick with it for a few weeks, assuming no wrist or elbow problems.

I want to try this.

The current and former US team players an my city mostly play with blades more than 90. In any case, no super light blades. Same with the Chinese coaches who play shakehand.

I have tried considerably more than 10 of each (more Viscarias). Simply choose the one with handle and weight that works for you. That is the only real consistent difference. It is not insignificant, though. Handle and wing shape affect your grip and transitions. It affects how you play.

88 to 92 gram. Total setup around 190 g. Nice for me. I play very standard offensive table tennis.

By the way, somebldy posted photos showing clearly that the outer koto ply is thinner on DTC than Viscaria. I just dont think it matters much to how it plays, which actually is a bit surprising.

To be honest, my best estimate is these blades are all pretty much the same with minor variations because they are made of wood. If you like your current blade, dont bother buying one of these. I like the vibration feel you describe for your Drinkhall very much and it is how I would describe...

And then give it a cool name like True Carbon, and since you already market 35 blades with Dima's name on it, why not go for 36?
