But is that really the equation here ? You push heavy because you expect the opponent either struggle to loop the ball at all (because he might not be in a good position to do so and might respond with a passive push rather than looping) or to stop him from looping powerfully (which you can do...

First off the statement was that playing "hard" against a more heavy backspin ball was easier or more successful. This is not true for most players, especially considering the average skill level of the forum members seeking advice here. again this might be true for good players which are way...

i did pay for the 4 month player pro subscription and it leaves a little bit to be desired if you want to be an EJ. You can do the skill tests, but you can not add annotations to actually document what kind of setup you were using. So you only got a timestamp and the result of the skill test...

That sounds like a personal preference and experience and might be down to your technique. The general rule for serve receive is though: "if you need to push and can't open up, then push very spinny with good placement so that the only way the opponent can open up is slow and spinny". If heavy...

tbh the multiball feeding seemed to have quite little backspin in it (seeing the slow motion of the feeder) which let you have an easy time blasting through the ball which is fine for this kind of low backspin ball. If you are able to to multiball feed with proper backspin, you might ask the...

Impressions after the first training with the Stiga DragonGrip (55) is that i was impressed by it's "ease" of use. There were quite some lazy loops where i would have thought that they would drop into the net, because i don't put much acceleration onto the ball (and my experience is the harder...

gave it a short comparison with RZEH once against light topspin and checked how i would cope with it doing underspin serves. Versus topspin it was quite nice and it had that beefy feeling that i like where i can put power in and as long as give it a good tangential stroke i never risk hitting...

after gluing i measured it with a SHore O Durometer. It measures about 2 degrees harder than my Rakza Z EH, but of course that measurement is Topsheet + Sponge. Dragon Grip came out as around 50° while Rakza Z EH came out as 48° (but that sheet is also quite used already). As reference, the...

The Stiga Dragon Grip just arrived and it is not sticky/tacky at all. There is not even a protection that I could peel off on it.

I have tried a few H8-80 variants from 39' to 37' and even the Nittaku H8-80 power type and it served me well enough as a backhand rubber, but if i am really honest it was just a cheap chinese alternative to the Nittaku PK50 which i would have liked to continue playing much more, but that one...

I will simply continue with the topic of this thread. If OP is going to use a harder and faster blade I would have recommended to get a softer version of his rubber, but to my knowledge there is no softer tibhar evolution series rubber than fx-s. He might use the same rubber on the new blade and...

what did you fail to understand about this generalization of mine ? you now try to pick random scenarios where the general rule does not apply, wow. This is really more of a problem of yours trying to pick an argument here. Of course we can be more specific, but it wont make understanding it...

there are many great options coming from an ALL blade which could be tamed by softer/easer rubbers. Anything that would be in the range of OFF- would be sufficient enough for 10 years to come but still tamable by more forgiving rubbers. I don't know the felix lebrun blade, so i would stick to...

let me spell it out in very generalized terms: I assume that your level of play does not change between the current setup and your faster setup. Any rubber and blade combination requires you to generate acceleration X to create spin Y. Let's say your arm/hand acceleration is 50 km/h and you get...

that's a very good point by @Matteones ! if you set yourself up and get acustomed to a setup with H3 (boosted) and a stiffer blade, will you be able to activate it with gyms having a temperature lower than 15 degrees celsius ? Your rubber will feel like a brick and the ball might just fall of...

given that you play a pretty soft forehand rubber on an ALL blade does not indicate you being ready for a faster and stiffer blade with a harder rubber. The only thing that will happen is that you will create less spin and less spin means less margin for error, more balls overshooting the table...

I think you might have run into the same mix up like me. A few years back i wanted to buy the dragon grip, searched for it (probably on tabletennis11) did not read properly and ordered the 52.5 hardness version. Put it on my blade, played with it and wondered where those supposed hybrid...

I doubt that a few months with the G-1 setup would magically teach you properly how to loop. That is why I would advise not to go back to hurricane that early. You probably don't even have good enough footwork and technique to consistently loop in matches, so what is the point in switching to...

Less spin on looping between 5ply wood acoustic to w968 inner with same rubbers, but that is to be expected

chintac sounds interesting, but since ESN somehow can only manage to produce sticky rubbers for Rakza Z i dont have high hopes that chintac is actually sticky.
