There your problem. 3 coats!!! Way too much. A single light coat is enough to protect your blade against TT glue. Three coats will completely change the way a blade plays as well as cause your problem.

You certainly might be right (and I hadn't seen the LGL comment on that) and I don't claim to have all the answers, but 2014 was then and this is now, 2016, two years later. It may not be quite that simple, as there are really two questions about plastic balls. Who adjusted sooner, and then...

Definitely possible. WH was incredible for a couple of years and some people represent a huge problem for some others. Another possibility I just thought of is that ML may actually benefit from plastic balls because of the way he plays and the power he has always had.

The FL handle has a slightly different shape from a Viscaria, and some people will like it better and some won't. You would have to try it yourself to know. Other than that, the blade is similar enough that you could easily adjust from one to the other in a few minutes and not notice much...

I agree with this, mostly, but not sure I would put WH above WLQ, who was ranked number 1 in the world for 48 straight months.

Right now Ma Long is obviously playing a lot better. Over their careers they have both accomplished amazing things. Would ZJK playing the best he has ever played beat Ma Long right now? Sometimes. Next Level (I think he was the one, or maybe it was wturber) not too long ago did an...

MX-P. EL-P is pretty good too but different.

What changes to your game have you conciously made to accomodate getting older?

I have no clue what table tennis might be like in Luxembourg. I've driven through it a couple of times, it is at best a medium city of no particular interest except maybe for bankers. In my many travels to Germany in last few years, all of which have taken place in the summer, I have never had...

My point was that if one hasn't spent a lot of time following things, it is daunting to go into the massive ESN product line and know what is the latest thing that is closest to T05. The last few comments of this thread make it obvious.

NL answered it. ESN makes a in incredible variety of rubbers for many different brands. Many are similar but not identical. So the rubbers they make for Tibhar are not identical to the ones they mage for Donic, Andro. Joola, Xiom, etc. Still, for each brand they make something that is trying to...

I find Evolution MX-P to be closer to Tenergy 05 than Bluefire M1, but that is on my forehand. Not sure about how it would work on a RPB. But it is worth considering. They are about the same price I think. Maybe someone where you play uses it.

I am going to politely assume that you just didn't notice that I predicated my comment as referring to "people who really like Tenergy"; otherwise I would have to reach the conclusion that sometimes you just write stuff to be argumentative. Very few people who really like the way Tenergy plays...

I would say this for sure: People who really like Tenergy can find other rubbers they can use pretty much exactly the same way and not feel like they are sacrificing much if anything -- or if they sacrifice in one dimension of the sport, they gain equally in others. A few years back that...

It's kind of like pizza. Nearly everybody likes it but there are different kinds and some people have their different favorites. And so it is with Butterfly ALC blades and Tenergies. Most people like them, and some people have different preferences. I am pretty sure most people will like...

They are both good blades. You would probably be ok with either one.

I have used it on a Viscaria. It will work great.

Back in the speed glue days, I would use tire repair glue. Fastest speed glue there was, and you could buy it at any autoparts store.

5 out of 5 rating for Ovtcharov True Carbon I have been exploring ST handles, and discovered I very much like rounder ST handles (as opposed to the more square ST handles found on TB-ALC, for example). Donic has the shape I like. I also hoped to find a composite blade with a feel as close to...
