  1. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    What he said about the suction action is that - use the thumb to press down the blade so the angle is small (i.e. closed angle). When the slow spinny ball comes, aim to touch the TOP of the ball. As soon as you make thr contact you pull back the blade. Passionate about TT

    The beauty of DHS carbon blades is that, the carbon layers are underneath the second layers of wood. What it means is that with slow to medium stroke it plays like a wooden blade. The carbon is activated when you are striking hard. Passionate about TT

  5. Which is the best blade for chinese rubber?

    There're too many blades that can go well with Chinese rubbers. It all depends on your style. For example attacker close to the table might want something hard and linear such as viscaria, hard 7-ply and traditional carbon blades. For mid table loopers they might want a bit more flex such as...

    Yup the handle design gives it away. The handle colour is darker than W968 (i.e. Long V special version). So it could be the new N301 - DHS 656 with added inner acrylate carbon layers. It makes sense inner acrylate carbon works well for loopers. Passionate about TT

    I have been wondering for years why he's still using a wooden blade given his style is offensive. Can you upload a snapshot of his IG? I am really excited to see. Passionate about TT

    Xue Fei seems have grown in strength and consistency. Although lost to Timo a few weeks ago but he was leading 3-1. Now with his first single title I definitely see some hope in penhold in this 18yo. Passionate about TT
  12. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    They are almost identical. The true Hurricane 656 is more expensive as it was the old production. The newer Hao 2 is said to be slightly thinner than 656, therefore slightly less powerful. I own a HH2. Wonderful wooden feel. Very good flex = powerful spinny loop. However, with poly ball it...
  13. Boosting H3 NEO National

    European kids are way stronger than Asian kids. They would have no problem playing tacky rubber if it is popular in Europe. But yeah like you said coaches are familiar with non tacky rubber. Passionate about TT

  15. Boosting H3 NEO National

    A H3 properly boosted plays like dream. Equal to if not better than Tenergy. You can go slow spinny or fast and powerful. Any shot and serve is possible with H3. That's why it's been in the market for at least 13yrs. Passionate about TT

    In the first two games FZD made more unforced errors than usual. His banana flicks tend to be slower and higher than usual. That gave Mizutani more chances to attack. Not sure why. FZD took a bit longer to warm up in this game. Passionate about TT
