Look, I'm disappointed too. I just am not convinced so much about my own integrity to feel entitled to judge others...

Let's just assume he didn't see it and move on. F... it!

If that was not the edge, then I don't know what is! Disappointed!

You can see here a nice comparison of TB and ML technique. Both have great technique, but arguably TB uses more of a forearm snap, or perhaps he just uses it differently. For me personally there is a danger in focusing on the forearm snap, because it is driven by muscles. Focusing on this...

Of course, it was just a stupid joke, forget it.

Yeah, that's what I meant. P.S. You changing names quite often, Mr. K-zt ;-0

My thoughts exactly. According to TT-Japan, the sponge has larger air bubbles, so it most likely will be faster than RX. Made for me, made for you...

Standing parallel doesn't prevent you from rotating your body around the center of the rotation - let's say the spine (for simplicity if we stand straight). When I feel my stroke is not driven by that rotation enough, then I know it is wrong. And often I know it could and should be powered more...

What hardness of H3 are you using? I didn't try STN yet, but from what I gathered, I'd expect it to be H40-H41, whereas Rakza Z would be H38. So if you go Rakza Z, I think RZ EH could be better for the FH.

I read the thread again and thought about what made me feel uncomfy. The direction of the weight transfer is almost perpendicular (90 degrees) to the direction of the ball, which we call "forward". So saying that you need to transfer the weight "forward" is misleading. It makes the reader...

Ma Long, 1 of mil. videos. I am posting this because I disagreed with necessity of "forward" transfer. I can't quite describe it in words, but I do disagree. And in this video we can see that ML's right foot is not behind the left foot. Cheers.

While I stubbornly go one after another to my total exhaustion ;-)

Rakza Z is 48-49 (a bit less than advertised), Rakza X is 47-48 (as advertised). Don't have Rakza 7. Fastarc G1/C1 I have but can't measure now. Eventually will do, latest after 7 weeks. ;-(

This is cool, @blahness. Any mooore? ;-)

Sometimes I don't use edge tape, instead I put a thin foam tape on the blade side only, then cut the rubbers with the implied overlap. That overlap is sometimes handy. For edge tape, e.g. the tape used by electricians is fine. Recently used it, it is 15mm, so I had to cut it a bit. There is many...

NH3PTB is quite heavy and hard, the hardness is like 42,5. I heard 2 shops say that it is a bit more aggressive than the DHS H3, like in the sense of faster. But I wouldn't say that is the difference I'd pin-point. The sponge is different, feels a bit different, but I wouldn't say it is faster...

I really like the Rakza X on my BH now, much more than H8-80 H37. But even before I put it on, I was set to try the G1. I'll need to replace it soon, but I like it so much that I now question my earlier decision. I'll probably go for the G1 anyways, since the next season is far away... Can you...

I don't do other sports apart from TT nowadays (maybe some snowboarding in winter). Of all things, I personally feel I both need the most and at the same time also neglect the most, is the stretching after the training.

Rule nr. 1: Stand wider. Rule nr. 2: If you think, you stand wide enough, go back to rule nr. 1. Rule nr. 3: Ignore the nay-sayers. They will come to you, mascquerading under logic, and tell you that following those rules, you will either stand infinitely wide, which is not possible, or achieve...

I don't know. It's a legend rubber, can afford being not cheap, and it would fulfill the task here well too. I think no reason to start a polemics, diff. people have diff. prefs ;-) I think too that YM2 is good enough, while being much cheaper. It's not fast, it's actually very tacky, forces...
