You breathing onto rubber creates moisture which actually makes the friction less and even if the effect you think it has was truely happening (which I dispute) it is pointless if it only works on soft rubbers, because it's hard rubbers that feel like a brick in that scenario, not soft ones. If...

That does not work. You won't raise the temperature of rubber by breathing onto it. Rubber is a good insulator which means it will not easily take temperature and transfer it on, but rather will not be affected by it. You could easily disprove this by using an optical temperature gun

i have been through all the exercises to warm up the rubber and bat, but let's be honest: The effects of warming your bat (i used heating devices to warm up the rubber) is going to be gone latest after the first set and then you are not allowed to "treat" your bat with heat inside the match. My...

Since you did not do a controlled test you will never know if your own conclusion is actually the correct one. You put it down to lack of competitive mindsets, but it might as well them getting disillusioned because whatever they tried and trained they never got into the consistency with landing...

without having seen the whole video, for the lets say 6 serves i whitnessed, there was no backspin in it. It is very clear when there is and the result is wildly different. If you dont push the serve that has backspin in it and you dont use a very good acceleration when brushing the ball will...

You are making it harder for you than it really is. With the motion of your opponent when serving he can not simply create noticable backspin. My quite "high" class coach(played 1st leage from when he was 16 in east europe and still has >1900 TTR even though >50 yo) told me that you simply can...

So after reviewing the old footage against that Theo young guy that never trains: If the match is anything similar to the old one, than you made it the most easy for him to attack. in the old footage he just powerloops open balls without any noticable spin. You just lob the balls over and these...

You could have added that you got 1473 TTR so people can relate kore to where this is coming from

The new chrome blade sounds interesting to me, even though the pricing seems sketchy compared to the other carbon blades

It's different and funny enough that the pictures for the product actually show 3 different versions. Mine is more rigid, while the product in the link mainly shows something strap based which you probably could recreate with two regular belts

Glayzer 09c will be also demanding in terms of consistency and force needed to play actively, so i would go with the easy to play g-1

you are so enthusiastic about improving, i am sure you will give this arm cast a shot. It will definitely force you to use a different stroke. I just searched my mails and saw that i bought it via superbuy which is a service that buys stuff in asia for you, in case it is not available for...

Tried it and yes for anything but a very controlled multi ball or robot feed you would have the perfect footwork to make it work, because you simply can not cheat your way around having the perfect technique when you want to hit the ball. I can loop right now, but if I ever considered my...

There is an even better one. I think it is called 31° PJ which is kind of a arm cast that mounts your upper arm to your hip, so you really need to use underarm and rotation to put power onto the ball and with this you can not get the kinetic chain wrong, because without hip you simply won't even...

The point is that the op wanted to make use of his backhand. It is very unlikely that the receive will end up on his strong backhand. The only situation where the ball would be played to your backhand is when you actually don't impart sidespin in your serve which in turn does actually make your...

a hook serve's return drifts to his forehand. How does this help his strong backhand ?

At No level, because at first you will most likely play worse and get less spin and less consistent results. After adjusting which is actually you getting better into position for every stroke and getting more acceleration to use the harder sponge you will gain in gears. You will probably...

That is not no spin. Due to the grippy rubber of fzd's lifting touch you still get back backspin, just not as much with a chop. The lifted return was quite high. That is why wcq decided to power drive it instead of looping it. Fzd's decision to lift it actually made much sense, since wcq...

I watched the first 3 minutes and what i saw what very different from what i was expecting. My memory of playing Nittaku Huricane 3 Turbo Blue unboosted was it being very hard and lower throw. I expected to see at least anything similar to what i experienced, but what i saw was a higher throw...

For me the Acoustic had the best mix of feeling and feedback of the strokes and where I hit the ball, while not being too limited at the power department away from table. This fit well with the above 50° esn scale rubbers that i like to play. I am talking about the full wood version of the...
