Interesting. Earlier this year Tenergy 05C and 09N were also added to the LARC. Checking out LARC 2018A just now I see Tenergy 05 HARD listed there (14.033) -- next to Tenergy 05 (14.001), Tenergy 05N (14.031) and also Tenergy 09C (14.032). No news about 05N and 09C yet?

I hope to experiment more with it in the near future; a club member is considering buying one. Which leads to questions. If you hook up your own controlling device, are the excercises/sequences stored on that device (so: personal profiles), or are you managing the Prime's shared repository...

True, but there's really not much a psychopath wouldn't say, is there?

I tried out the Amicus Prime yesterday. We had a little training programme mapped out, including a few Falkenberg-type drills, service receives and openups against heavy underspin (and variations). The consistency of the ball feed is very good. It is amazing how short and spinny it can serve...

Well, that's easy. The Appelgren Allplay is an immensely distinguished 5-ply limba^2/ayous blade, and the Appelgren Exclusive is a known unknown.

I think you mean “pips”.

I have club members playing with years-old Baracuda. They don't look fresh, somewhat stained, but still generate tons of spin, and are not crumbling away at the edges. Well, aside from the expected damage to rubber as well as blade after clipping the table.

I’m not entirely sure all of them/us are, actually.

And another beauty. Walnut outers?

Since we're merrily necromancing the stone anyway might as well revisit. Making up the balance, quite a bit of my humble little list got fullfilled. Injury-free so far; the club is going steady, and more and more members develop nicely, some youth too. Took the second-tier club title, got...

Yes, as blades go you can play with anything that meets the minimum requirements in the realm of composition (wood, almost exclusively) and finishing. For rubbers it’s somewhat different, there instead of specifying a range of acceptable properties a list of approved racket coverings (larc) is...

And there you go... :-) Apparently, different people have different learning styles. Some need to go hands-on first, some need to see and emulate, some need to read, reflect, overthink, and then start trying and adapting — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_styles. If there is a grain of...

Heartwarming to see Pedro Santos coaching so fiercely fueled by love. Truly inspiring. Great doc.

I use wood filler to restore minor splintering and clips/chips for club members with good results so far.

Sandpaper’s your friend!

You'll be fine. Put in the necessary hours of practice, and enjoy!

I found it a great rubber for some of the game, but too lively for me to stay in control. I had trouble in serve receive and keeping the short game short.

I'm guessing the rubbers are worn. If the blade isn't damaged beyond playability, stick with it. Good blade. If you did like these rubbers, you won't go wrong with Rasanter R47, R42 or V42.

I don’t think it wise to conclude from merely anecdotal evidence.

Mmmmmmm.....
