  2. Replacement for H3 Neo Provincial?

    Commercial Neo H3 is just as good TBH. The sponge is slightly less lively than the provincial one. Put 2-3 layers of Seamoon on a commercial Neo H3 and you will feel it's like a provincial one. I just recently tried Battle II provincial, I would highly advise against it. The spin is just not at...
  3. Amazed by the low weight of the Palio AK74 rubbers... wow.

    Totally agree. After many years of EJing, I only found this amazing AK47 last month. I put the blue one on my BH and it's comparable to my favourite Xiom Vega Europe. AK47 is only slightly less spinny. It's the same on all other aspects, for only $9!!! Such a value for money. I wish I found...

  9. New balls and Xu Xin's penhold style

    Yes I agree with what you are saying. Human or any organisms need to adapt to a change to survive. But if changes come in too frequently. Certain variety in a population will be lost leaving the surviving organisms similar to each other. Over the last few years we see a REDUCED variety of play...
  10. New balls and Xu Xin's penhold style

    Good to hear this news. Hopefully its spin is just as good as the celluloid one. Is DHS trying to save the spin game of TT? Passionate about TT

  12. Table Tennis Penhold Engagement Survey

    Yeah I miss Ma Lin's game. He was not the most powerful, but he had great tactics and found the perfect balance between FH, RPB and traditional blocks Passionate about TT

    You are right. I thought I was told Speed 90 was discontinued some years ago. I must be wrong. Passionate about TT
  14. Table Tennis Penhold Engagement Survey

    People who play safe with dominant BH don't get to the very top. Their games are also not that entertaining. Just look at Jang Woojin, he plays more like a penholder than Xue Fei. Jang moves a lot to create opportunities for FH power loop. Wang Hao somehow got a balance between consistent RPB...
  15. Rubbers for a beginner penholder?

    There are a lot of affordable choices out there: AK47 yellow version for FH, blue for BH (only $9 each but plays amazing) 729 Battle II for FH if you want to try tacky rubber the first time CJ8000 etc
  16. Penhold switching rubbers

    Try Neo Skyline 3. Slightly less power than Hurricane but with better control. A safer choice if this is your first Chinese tacky rubber
  17. Australian Open 2018

    Congrat Xu Xin. He plays a lot better than in Japan and Korea opens. Liu has missed so many opportunities. His techniques are modern and great. Probably just lack of experience in a final?
  18. Table Tennis Penhold Engagement Survey

    Xue Fei was considered by Liu Guoliang the future of penhold 5 years ago. But over the last few years Xue Fei hasn't developed as well as what people expected. He uses BH most of the time therefore forfeit the advantage of penhold. He also suffers a weak FH like Wang Hao Passionate about TT
  19. Australian Open 2018

    I can still see the aging issues of XX - slower footwork, slower recovery and shorter loop. Sad to see that happen but still wish my penhold hero good luck for final Passionate about TT
  20. Australian Open 2018

    Harimoto is not at 100%. Missed many banana flicks. His FH is still the weak point. Probably jet leg. Although I am a XX's fan, I was expecting XX to lose. So I was very surprised. Passionate about TT
