I got this one, for the similar price. In the context of the discussion - since each of us may tend to measure slightly differently, but each of us measures his own rubbers consistently, it is useful to get measurements from 1 person, about multiple rubbers. Because then you can relate them...

All this time I was thinking I need to buy you one, to fulfill my dream of contributing massively positively to TTD!!!

Many thanks to Erhan, Hasan, Ali, Jonathan and Sammy, for a cool training in Ludwigshafen. I hope to see you again, but unfortunately, it may take up to 3 years ;-) Cheers!

You say you don't know why it matters, and in the next sentence you explain why it matters ;-)

You seem to prefer bouncy fast rubbers, from rakzas that would be the Rakza 9.

I admire your good will @turbozed ;-)

Sometimes players realize a little too late and then compensate during the stroke - bigger bat angle change.

This is interesting, because I think I have an opposite problem. When I posted that video of myself (I'll post as soon as there is the feature [x] Show for registered users only (for new threads)), someone said that my back-swing is sometimes clumsy. This was a very valuable critique for me...

We speak about real concrete strokes, with real and deliberate bat angle change during those strokes. zeio posted videos of those strokes, the bat angle change is clearly visible, and it is also clear (for everyone except you) that it is deliberate. It is wanted, it is desired. PUNKT. The rest...

Everything is relative. G1 is 47-48, I like it on BH, not on FH. Now I've put C1 red and Battle 2 Nat H38 black on my friend's bat and tried it yesterday. C1 indeed is a bit softer than G1, the difference is not big. He'd be happy with G1 too, but I thought C1 might be slightly better now for...

Since I was last active here, a lot has been written here. I didn't have much time. Still I want to clarify something. We all see that TT players, profis or not, simply do change the angle of the bat during the stroke. I don't know why would someone dispute it, and I'll leave it at that. Stroke...

No, it's not my goal. If you refer to those 5%, it was meant jokingly. Also, I don't think one can feel it. I think it happens naturally, we don't have to "strive" for it that much. My goal is more that my movement is bio-mechanically natural and sound (hopefully no flame war on that). And e.g...

I don't know what is the error, but if we take that wrapping 2 deg during that 1 ms contact time, as established before. Imagine what height does the angle 2 deg on the length 2 m - the approx. distance from the hit to the net. That makes tan(2deg) * 2m = 7cm. And 7 cm height difference on the...

The wrapping speed is 2 deg/ms and contact time is 1 ms, so during contact we have "wrapping" 2deg. That on ball diameter 40mm is Pi*D*2/360 = 0,7mm. Now the ball contact area has diameter 15 mm (let's take 14 for now). And here is the 5% = 0,7 mm / 14 mm. Noone claimed FZD is trying to time...

The ball contact is not a point, take a new ball, make a hit, and you can see the area is like 15 mm in diameter. If the ball travels 72 km/h, it is 20 mm/ms. The hand can also travel that fast to give that impuls/speed to non-moving ball. Now FZD does some wrapping (pronation/supination, I'm...

Instruction can make you confused. E.g. when I was young I got told to add (or that it is what people do) a little wrist action at the contact, right at the contact time. I didn't know what and how to do it, and the bigger danger is that while thinking and focusing on "doing" it, you really mess...

Yes, the paper tiger... When measured with Type O durometer, the BGC1 is like 55-56. The NH3PTB is 60, that is like approx. 43. But it's heavy, 15g cut heavier than H3 BS H41 - so be warned. The quality is supreme though.

Yes, having players better than me around me is a massive luxury. It is good to a have a voice like you, who puts things into perspective, and protects certain order and values. Extremely good! But if I can choose between: - having such voice around me which protects me - protecting myself...

No doubt about that, if you speak about couch - pupil relationship. Noone does that. And masters like mine are rare, too. However, here in TTD, we are not in that relationship. I'd argue, that most of us here somehow took already their own resposibility for development, and already go in here...

@harty, I noticed that a lot of stock in the shop is not available, I was almost afraid that you're just letting the stuff sell out and ending. Your shop is pretty unique. (It's not that I need some rubber now - actually I have rel. new rubbers, and intend to experiment a bit to find H3 BS prov...
