I've played with Rasant Grip for a while and liked it a lot (except for its lack of durability), so I tried out Rasanter R and V 47 and 42 too. They are great in every way, yet I didn't like playing with them all that much, and I find it hard to say why. I played well with them, landed great...

Oh. And Ma Te, of course.

I suspect pulling's the opposite of pushing.

I've only the faintest idea of what you're asking, but I'll say Rakza 7 Soft anyway. :cool:

You can use Quicktime Player to cut out (trim) the unwanted bits of footage; https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201066#trim. Or you get/open up iMovie, Final Cut Pro. But Quicktime Player is just there, ready to go.

I created one at tv.ittf.com, when that closed down and went all nosy and tracky.

The XSF seamless threestar ball is great in many ways, but durability is not among these. I haven’t seen any seamless ball that is likely to survive a blade edge hit. An expensive hit, about €1.5. I’ve had good batches of the DHS D40+, but also abysmal ones. The good ones were round...

But surely that can't be the one of which you're reading Chapter 1: Introduction now.

No, that only worsens it. Every ball you're hitting will be one you're not hitting with that large stack of other bats you could have chosen instead (but didn't), all of which could have been better for it and you'll never know. Every dish you didn't order may after all have been better than...

Yes. This. Given the stated requirements. Another one that would fit the bill perfectly but has not been mentioned yet is the Appelgren Allplay. Many good blades have been suggested. All of them perfectly fine and suited. So there it is, the agony of choice — that special circle of hell...

+1 for Gold Arc 8, but if the worry is that MX-P would too reactive/bouncy/fast, then GA8 might be too fast as well. In that case, Vega Europe doesn't sound like a bad choice at all. I slightly prefer Vega Pro myself, to me that's the main go-to rubber for offensive players finding their way.

ALC.S, I felt, was a flimsy blade. It disappointed me, it was very light and lacked punch, and was way too thin/flexible to my taste. I couldn't land anything with power. That's probably me, and it might still be a great blade for others. As to Innerforce ALC and Innerforce Layer ALC, they...

I tend to think equipment changes can help, but only if the problem is an equipment problem. Raising the skill level would be the obvious solution, but then again, if your equipment severely outguns your ability level, it will actually hamper your learning. You'll be holding back your strokes...

Yes, a world of difference in many ways.

Well, it's mainly a matter of technique. Sorry.

The MORE you BUY, the MORE you SAVE, of course!

So ZJK enjoyed the privilege of getting the opportunity to spend many hours perfecting a hobby, and getting highly rewarded for it. Whereas others actually work themselves to death under abysmal conditions, in jobs they probably did not choose but were forced to take, at or just below...

Ah, whataboutism. A popular fallacy these days. But indeed, we do have a quite a lot of people crapping all over our collective future. And yes, they're jerks for doing so, and yes, we should call them out for it. ZJK was one the greatest ever, period, and probably still is up there when truly...

We moved to the Stiga Perform ABS three-star after receiving quite a lot unplayably bad DHS D40+ balls (extremely so in XHAG production batches), and running into supply problems with the XSF *** bal. We're using both XSF*** and Perform 40+*** now. The Stiga ball is slightly more expensive...

If you're in the US indeed, you might want to have a chat with Cole and/or give http://colestt.com a closer look.
