  1. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    Sims gave you a chance and you wasted it 8-) But don't worry, soon someone else will give you another chance... And so on, until you get it ;-) EDIT: Btw., I just checked the percentile transformation in the other thread...
  2. WTT Champions Macao 2024, 9/9-15

    Yes, it was the BH to 7:2 lead. Before the decider started, I made a bet on LJK. In 7:2 I thought OK, I bet wrong, Gauzy is in the flow... But LJK turned it, incredible.
  3. WTT Champions Macao 2024, 9/9-15

    This must have been a nightmare. Nothing going, even winners out, and so many over the net out, absolutely crazy. I don't want this, even as a hobby player ;-)
  4. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    I really like this rubber, but after 2 weeks (16 hours) it doesn't look better than my BH rubber after 2,5 months. It still plays good. I'm undecided whether I'll stay or go back to Rxton9 or H3.
  5. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    Of course, but I don't peel off after 1 session, I peel it off after 4-6 weeks ;-) I'm gonna peel it off every day now, I need to get to you guys noooow.
  6. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    NOPE, it won't. If I remove it after 4-6 weeks the rubber is curled inwards... It may have been forced to be on the blade, but that doesn't guarantee the right tension in the top-sheet. The tension decreases with time, just like everything else. Failure to acknowledge it is just as harming as...
  7. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    Surprises... I boost gently, and it evaporates after 4-6 weeks, and then I re-boost. The rubber gets bigger, needs "re-cut". If after further 4-6 weeks I don't throw away, but re-boost again, the rubber feels "thin" as @Zwill writes, somewhat lower throw too. But I guess the most important is...
  8. Table Tennis Crisis

    And the battle for the TRUTH continues ;-)
  9. Looking for an extremely tacky rubber.

    I didn't play with the G888, but the Rxton9 is the best "alternative" for H3 BS prov. so far for me... It is more tacky than the newer H3s, I actually wouldn't mind being less tacky. The top-sheet is nice and elastic, the sponge similar, very good spin. The speed - it is what we call linear, and...
  10. Is there a standard head size?

    Finally getting why you speak about the/his head ;-) Put in playback speed 0.25...
  11. Is 2.1 to 1.9 thickness noticeable?

    Yep, the top-sheet is too hard for the BH, and the sponge is too soft for the FH. My 2 cents... ;-)
  12. Ridiculous reverse pendulum serve secrets

    I know, but can't achieve yet... In the meantime I realized that I keep my elbow too high, and then I simply can't achieve the "horizontal" bat, so I lower it now for backspin, which gives a chance for recognition... Also it matters where is the ball relative to my body at the contact - if it is...
  13. Ridiculous reverse pendulum serve secrets

    Lately I struggle with bringing good backspin on the RP serve and I had it in the back of my mind for some time... Side and top-spin is no problem... I even tried to contact the ball like from bottom up on the further side, before I watched this, but still not there... So this is like for me ;-)
  14. Table Tennis Crisis

    From what I have seen I think you've made impressive progress for the 4 years, very impressive. You also look like someone who has a lot of fun during the training. I sort of understand your momentary frustration, but in my opinion, this is all just the process... I really wish you find...
  15. Friendship 729 battle 3

    Fwiw, I have the same impression ;-) I actually bought the B3 H39 for a friend, but when I tried it, I had a problem with the top-sheet, not the sponge. As you say, I felt the top-sheet is overly hard, and I thought no amount of boosting will make this right... Anyway, this might have been just...
  16. Posture to loopkill underspin easily

    Is this enough? ;-) I think that in order to maximize the power, 1 detail is this: how "open" is your chest at the point of contact? I think there are differences even among CNT, e.g. between WCQ and FZD, and I think WCQ's is more open/powerful. I mean that "how open is your chest" is a...
  17. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    You're right, but we know why it is as it is. Honestly, it doesn't even put me off. I don't consider these ratings. Either I try the rubber on someone else's blade or I get enough probability from AnatomicEdge, TTD or other forums, and buy. I do make mistakes, e.g. the Z52.5 went off the blade...
  18. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    Fwiw, I've tried the Xiom Omega 7 China Guang (O7CG) yesterday shortly. The sponge looks visually pretty similar to the C55, hard to see diffs. without magnifier, so the O7CG sponge is also rather dense, either equally or almost as dense as the C55 sponge. It was on friend's blade, the Meister...
  19. Thickness of topsheets?

    Sorry for waking this up... @zeio, any material about pimple structure and its influence of the playing properties? I could write about my experience, but I'd rather read something "objective" ;-) TIA...
