Next round of testing was done with this one: and even though i did not like it as much as testing the long pips, it seemed to be worse to play against because of the higher degree of unpredictability. This Lion Mantlet anti rubber on the touch seemed basically frictionless. i could glide over...

After removing the dragongrip from my blade and replacing it with the Rxton 7 '40 i was quite Ok with it on sunday's session, but today after 1 hour sacrificing myself training somebody i was somehow not able to switch it up to competition mode to be in the stance and have the momentum to active...

credit where credits due: i have complained about not being able to tag or describe skill test sessions and now i thought i'd do an impromptu session comparing Battle 2 and Rxton 7 but the comparison itself was not telling much, because encouraged by the knowledge that my robot only does 50 rps...

the longpips robot/spinsight analysis really made it click for me against long pips. i played doubles today with one of the opponents just having short pips on the backhand and the other having long pips. My team mate already complained about the pips and how they are odd to play against and...

If the cognitive abilities are given you will earn much more in any other decent job than as a pro if you are only in the top 300 which is still incredible hard to achieve and not really a long lasting financial strategy

The choice of balls was not possible ,since i head to use the spinsight balls for measurement obviously. Unfortunately the test had to be changed a little from what i planned initially due to the limitations of my setup. So my Butterfly robot did only ever create 50 rps on top spin (set to +6...

i just borrowed two bats from a team mate that does play long pips. One is some old "bomb talent" long pips rubber and the other is spinlord dornenglanz. In the next days i will plan to measure the spin reversal via spinsight. Of course i don't have a fricking clue how to play long pips, but...

it's a penhold stiga allround classic blade i think. him wanting to play penhold with nobody in the club playing penhold and being able to teach him properly doesn't make it easier ;)

The point is that it's harder to learn to loop with hurricane than with your easier to play andro r45 rubbers for instance. Yes sure, with good technical training and a good coach that all can work out, but that is utopia for most. There is simply not good enough coaching available in most...

Getting from TTR 1100 to 1500 is a huge leap and basically 4 leagues apart. The TTR 1100 players i know do lack fundamentals and shot selection and in best case they have "a" game plan which is easily thwartable or exploitable. If you are 1100 TTR basically every thing that you do will give you...

it's clear that the manufacturers (ESN) or brands selling the rubbers (andro, donic etc) are not really interested in such a rated comparison, because it would instantly invalidate their marketing lingo. If spinsight as a subcompany of ESN was smart it would actually add a feature for people to...

Tg2 neo was sticky and I only used it on the backhand. Tbh it was not very different than pf4 for me .For what I did with it it was ok, but nothing compares to Nittaku pk50 :/

I tested skyline tg2 neo last year and it was a fine rubber for me.

But trolling this forum does not stress you? Seriously, get some help.

Having played it now for several training sessions and even matches i can only mirror yogi_bear's impressions. Softer and easier to play than one would think (given the 55° hardness). Speed is not super high, Spin is high but not the highest (compared to other really sticky rubbers). Topshit is...

ESN is the actual manufacturer of rubbers for brands like Tibhar, Andro, Stiga, Donic and many more. What i wanted to say is that there is no need to buy Stiga Rubbers, because they are not best in anything and they also dont have any rubber that has a very good mixture of characteristics that...

simply don't. It is not remarkable in any way and whatever it's characteristics are they are easily found in tens of different ESN rubbers already.

since the league is over and i had a battle 2 provincial rubber '40 waiting in my stash for month already i decided to put it on one of my w968 that had the nittaku hurricane 3 turbo blue (boosted) on one side already. Eager to see how it fared after a session with the robot and spinsight i took...

I am really not a good or experienced feeder so i wanted to check my theory of achievable spin when feeding backspin on spinsight. My way of feeding is mirroring what i saw other trainers do, that is having the ball drop on the table once and hit it after the drop in the rising phase. With...

This we can agree on, for me it's basically nearly the same upwards acceleration, but going into the ball with my whole body which provides the additional power, but still for me that shot is not more safe or easy (at least for me). So yes, you can get more speed and quality only with a thicker...
