  1. Feedback on my League games

    In most cases a all wood blade will generate more spin than an inner ALC one. Since you are already playing an iconic and more expensive blade, you might want to try the Nittaku Acoustic, which is very spinny and still provides good power. One thing to keep in mind though is that the throw...
  2. Feedback on my League games

    i only watched the second game (against the inverted player) and i would not have thought that i would say this after watching it, but at least in terms of your forehand i do not think that the dignics 09c leads to you missing too many loops. The loop opportunities that you took were with a high...
  3. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    i dont want to be the bearer of bad news, but if the sweet spot does matter more to you than before than it does not sound like your technique improved to a point where you would not really need to care about it. You would assume with better technique you would hit the ball in the optimal area...
  4. Alternative to Nittaku PK50 (and 8-80) ?

    Just comparing the passive properties if you let a ball fall onto both rubbers, you will see the YRD2 having a higher bounce/reactivity, definitely. It is not on the level of a T05 or something, but at least on the level of Rakza Z or more linear tensors like G-1 i guess. So if the PK50 ball...
  5. Alternative to Nittaku PK50 (and 8-80) ?

    2nd version
  6. New Genextion V2C (Hybrid) from Nittaku

    The Genextion was quite easy to activate, but not as controlled in the short game(compared to the K3), so this will be a very interesting rubber.
  7. Alternative to Nittaku PK50 (and 8-80) ?

    i have tried the Yasaka Rising Dragon which is a little less sticky but similar (for my backhand) like the PK50.
  8. Xiom new collection (2024)

    what's interesting is that Xiom states professional and amateur (feasability) rating for the rubbers. i.e. Omega 8 Euro CATAPULT & CLICK 5.6 SPIN & ARC 5.4 SPEED & FORCE 7.0 PRO SCORE 6.0 AMA SCORE 6.3 Omega 8 Pro CATAPULT & CLICK 6.4 SPIN & ARC 6.7 SPEED & FORCE 6.0...
  9. How to minimize the time between second bounce and third bounce on the serve?

    Yes, but forward movement is not upward momentum, so it would only change the distance travelled horizontally, which again should not affect time until the next bohnce. The magnus effect could theoretically influence that time, but since topspin in serves is severely gimped by serve mechanics I...
  10. How to minimize the time between second bounce and third bounce on the serve?

    Your impression is physically very unlikely. The force that drags the ball down is the same independent of its lateral velocity. So the ball that drops straight down from 30cm will hit the table at the same time like the ball that is hit laterally from 30cm, regardless how much distance it travels.
  11. How to minimize the time between second bounce and third bounce on the serve?

    There are only two factors that you can influence for the serve to make the ball quickly bounce a second time on the opponents half: - spin (topspin should have a lower through of the table, hence hit the table a little faster). The type of table surface will decide how much your spin actually...
  12. Boosting LAC with only one layer of seamon shows nearly no curling after 20 hours.

    it does feel like a brick if the temperature is below 10° Celsius for sure, but same goes for many harder rubbers. In regular playing conditions > 17° Celsius the rubber plays fine. R9 was not really tacky for me and obviously too H3 like for me to play comfortably without boosting.
  13. Boosting LAC with only one layer of seamon shows nearly no curling after 20 hours.

    Hi guys, i put a layer of seamon (regular) on a new sheet of LAC and wonder that it does not show much curling at all. It is possible that it was slighty curled yesterday evening (which would be about 10 hours after applying). I wonder if one can derive the amount of change in feel of the...
  14. Bad equipment ≈ Good player?

    you consciousness will bring you to perform more successful strokes and things that work better for you with your current equipment. A setup bad for spinning will never bring a beginner to even that out in generating even better technique to still get good spin. No, you will probably just play...
  15. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    we have seen two different orange packagings at least with most having the data about the hardness, sponge type and sponge and one that has this missing (which could indicate a fake). this data is on the back of the packaging, so its hard to check if yours is the suspect one
  16. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Do you have the mention of the sponge on the backhand of the packaging? Should read something like 'kunlun sponge' ?
  17. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Is your packaging green or orange? The green one is not sticky
  18. Hi Team. Im looking for a New rubber i dont have much time to be on the search so im asking here

    it's not a tensor, but the Loki Arthur China seems to be what you are looking for. It is kind of chinese, the topsheet is sticky but not more sticky than Rakza Z and it plays more like a tensor/hybrid than a regular hurricane that is unboosted. One would argue that the Loki Arthur China is one...
  19. Keeping the rubbers "warm" in winter

    I had the same issue and especially rubbers >50° ESN become concrete in these situations. I was searching for that racket warmer as well and I think it is not available anymore, so I searched for something makeshift. I ordered electric shoe Inlays with a USB Port(so I can use them with a power...
  20. My name is Lazer and I'm an EJ...

    If you can live with the smaller handle(if you dont get the g-revision) then go for it. It is definitely ten times more appropriate to get your strokes right than your current blade. Tabletennis11 is very reputable. Bought from them more than 10 times without complaints.
