  1. What song are u listening to now?

    OK, we lost 0:10 today after being nr. 1 on the team-table for a very short while... ;-) Never mind, the opponent was strong, cheers to them... Anyway, drinking my way out of it right now ;-) So this is the song, I'm sure you heard it, but if I had to vote for the most significant song of my...
  2. Moral Question Here…

    It's good you worry, I appreciate that highly, really... But don't worry, he'll CRUSH you next time ;-) Regardless of your grandfather... Peace to him too ;-)
  3. Aliexpress Singles Day 2024

    I actually prefer the B2 BS to B3... But on singles day, R9 ;-) Cheers.
  4. Aliexpress Singles Day 2024

    Hey, I know you're asking @Grumms (the only true disbeliever of our 2200 (bow knee bow) god) - but let me say, I played with B3 H39 only shortly and the problem for me was not the sponge, but the top-sheet. It's too hard, I prefer more elastic... Anyway, I'm sure you'll buy it yourself. Tell...
  5. Best glue for easy removal from rubber

    I use Revo3 high viscosity, 2 layers on rubber, 2 on blade, and can remove the glue mostly in one go. But if the glue is older, then it tends to break...
  6. China Smash 2024, Beijing, 9/26-10/6

    Sure, of course... Enjoy the match... And then the finals => ML wins. Btw. it seems we won't meet this year, but I'm sure I'll visit next year...
  7. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    @JJ Ng I'm curious what you'll say about Rxton9. You know we two view the STN differently ;-) I'm done with EJing, Rxton 9 IT IS!
  8. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    That's a very good point, but your opinion, and TB's opinion and any others, is valuable. I think people extrapolate anyway. Also, that's why when I write about some rubber, I tried to compare with some other rubber (if possible), because that make it easier to relate to it. My estimation of a...
  9. Footwork..

    You know precisely in your head what to do, which is a good thing. I also try to keep these things in my head, and occasionally (really just occasionally) remind myself about it, during matches. But I think some things should be ingrained even more automatically, and I think that comes with time...
  10. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    My setup is now 200g, and with C55+O7P I think it was 196g, so I think Rxton 9 is 3g heavier than C55. H3 BS is know for being light-weight... But I believe you'll like the Rxton 9 too... Yes, that were my thoughts too, but my exp. with C55 tells me that it indeed is cca 1,5x more expensive...
  11. Correct Technique for Arm on Forehand Topspin

    Absolutely, see you in 2 weeks ;-)
  12. Correct Technique for Arm on Forehand Topspin

    Why does it always lead to this??? LOL. Anyway, I wish we all calm down, and do not consider ourselves even worse people than we are ;-)
  13. China Smash 2024, Beijing, 9/26-10/6

    Do you think the let call for Pitchord's serve vs Ma Long was justified? Not vertical, really? I think pure bs, and it's like players have no defense against it... I think L.P. played very well.
  14. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    Opinions will and do differ ;-) For me C55 is closer to H3 BS, than to D09C, because of the response, I think people call it power curve... If we would consider just the tackiness, then yes, it would be closer to D09C... Let us know how you see/feel it when you have it...
  15. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    So far I bought it in "Global Sports Store" on Aliexpress, except the last one, which I glued today - that one I got from my friend, but I don't know where he ordered it. All 3 samples I had were/are OK. I played last season (2023/24) with the 2 samples (1 for 3 months, each reboosted after cca...
  16. Correct Technique for Arm on Forehand Topspin

    That's a beautiful example. Half aware, half instinct ;-) I had a bike but never did something like this ;-) I think as long as you have fun, all is OK. Sometimes I do see people kind of frustrated, that they'd like to play better or improve more. I hope you are not frustrated. I'd say for me...
  17. Correct Technique for Arm on Forehand Topspin

    That's true, but even in these shots, you could even say, especially in these shots, the thing which I call the principle, is clearly present. I agree with that too, but the point imho, is not really to explain how he did that particular extreme shot, but rather to explain the basics, which...
  18. Correct Technique for Arm on Forehand Topspin

    One should ask, what is it that doesn't change. I'm sorry, but my opinion is, that the majority of "how to do the FH loop", even from real pro coaches, incl. chinesse, is weak, and doesn't show and elucidate the principle, and doesn't let the people to really feel it in themselves. Look, I...
  19. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    I wouldn't say the drop is big, but it feels noticeable now. It's like it grabs the ball less. I wouldn't care that much in exchanges, where you use more power, but it's not right in openings, especially slower openings. If it were off season, I'd happily play with it for another 5 weeks, but...
