  1. Victas ZX-Gear In Vs Butterfly Innerforce Layer ZLC

    Spec-wise, Zxion is almost the equivalent alternative to Vectran, AKA Arylate. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/are-zlc-blades-even-popular.23999/post-323325
  2. Downgrade bh rubber from tenergy05

    +1 on Glayzer. G-1 and Rakza 7 will feel much slower. The relatively newer ESN rubbers don't last.
  3. Blade to rubber combination thumbrules

    The dead bounce is actually the whole point. It allows the user to put in the work on the shots. Hard tacky rubber paired with flexible blade feels fantastic on big swing, but other than that, the combination feels like, ahem, a vibrator on medium-power shots (can be alleviated at heavier...
  4. What should I learn first and how do I proceed?

    Much easier to switch between diagonal and parallel shots with TPB. Other than that, RPB can do everything else with more ease. Learn both if you are interested. Otherwise, stick with RPB only.

  6. WTT Finals Women Nagoya 2023

    KONNO Noboru has more to report. US$1300 for a 3-day package and a big chunk of spectators was from China. インバウンド応援団! 世界中を旅する中国の「追っかけ女子」が卓球界を変えている https://world-tt.com/blog/news/archives/144285
  7. WTT Finals Women Nagoya 2023

    In hindsight, the fact it was hosted in Nagoya for a first-ever WTT event (and women only) in Japan and LGL attending in person already made it crystal clear. https://mao.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/pingpong/1702954586/ 0234名無しQ(・∀・)ノ゜サァン!! 2023/12/24(日) 11:06:15.71ID:wc28m8IE...
  8. Why are all the best choppers right handed? Is there a disadvantage as a chopper if you’re left handed?

    Lefty has an inherent advantage in shot paths, so most lefty takes advantage of that by playing double inverted. Lefty is relatively rare and chopper is rare, so lefty chopper is even more rare.
  9. Which is better value for money Tenergy 05 or Dignics 05?

    As to the original question, you can't go wrong with either. Butterfly getting back its market share from ESN should tell you how people really spend their money. http://mytabletennis.net/FORUM/forum_posts.asp?TID=92969&PID=1147241&title=will-esn-survive#1147241
  10. Which is better value for money Tenergy 05 or Dignics 05?

    Ugh, another thread getting ruined. All right. Here is the deal. Butterfly actually states that D05/D80/D64 have slightly higher and longer arcs than T05/T80/T64, respectively, but in actual play, many people say otherwise. An article by Guoqiuhui on D05 and T05 and that the former produces...
  11. WTT Finals Women Nagoya 2023

    Jiji has more to report on Hayata's match with CM and Harimoto's match with SYS. Hayata says that she felt the match was 1 on 1 until G3 but starting with G4, it felt like she was up against the bench and a 3rd player. She also looks back on past experience where the tide turned and will take...
  12. WTT Finals Women Nagoya 2023

    In his column, KONNO Noboru writes that this WTT Finals (estimated costs = 300-320 million yens) were held on 100% Chinese capital (practically all WTT events, well, the whole structure is supported by China), with the JTTA NOT spending a single yen and over 30 personnel sent straight from WTT...
  13. Are double fish rubbers any good?

    Double Fish balls are decent. I'll leave it at that. The last tacky rubbers that gave H3 some challenges were Haifu Blue Whale 2 and 3.
  14. Recommendations for CPEN blade

    Here is a video going through the iterations. https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Nm4y1M7LQ The issue with the Jpen handle is that it trades finger/wrist flexibility for FH power and in turn BH TPB takes a toll. As explained in the video, the 未來直板/Future Penhold is actually primarily designed...
  15. Recommendations for CPEN blade

    That's just a Jpen. Yinhe has been wasting so much time on these things. I still remember they tried 挑战OC, 挑战CL, 挑战蝴蝶王, 挑战VIS a decade ago. Guess what? People just end up getting the original.
  16. Questions about Japanese penhold

    1. Hard to quantify, but the older the wood, the better. An article written by the owner of Ariex, a brand from Taiwan http://www.cnpingpang.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=155015 2. Yes. 38mm ball era was <= 9mm. 40mm ball era was => 10mm. 3. Yes. 4. Yes.
  17. WTT Finals Women Nagoya 2023

    From past interviews of coaches and players, it seems to be the other way around where the CNT opponents have to step it up and risk losing control after a run of points. Murakami, former women's team headcoach, touched on what JNT players have to do against CNT players who don't make unforced...
  18. WTT Finals Women Nagoya 2023

    US$1000 fine on WTT's end. CXT will still come out of this with US$24000 minus tax. https://wttwebcmsprod.blob.core.windows.net/technicaldocuments/WTT_Series%20&%20Feeder_Handbook_2023.pdf
  19. WTT Finals Women Nagoya 2023

    Many folks in China don't get it, either. There was a Tieba thread back before ATTC 2023 and Asian Games 2022 asking about that, along with the stated goals from JPN and KOR players. Threads like that have popped up from time to time for several years now. The overall reaction toward those...
