  1. To lob or not to lob?

    It might be you copying players that "taught themselves" tabletennis and simply can not play something else. What i noticed in some clubs is that players with "too fast" equipment try to play that way, because if they play closer to thet able the shoot balls out/long too often. regular lobs...
  2. New Equipment choice feedback

    dont get carried away by reading reviews of rubbers that are 5 degrees harder than what you are using right now. You will be way worse with them and if you add a fast blade, you will probably not even be able to generate spin with them, because the ball will leave the bat much faster than you...
  3. DHS H301z to replace my Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition?

    The 301z is allegedly also a deep hold blade according to ttgearlab measurements. I got one and let's just say that it was not a revelation coming from a w968 provincial, so not different enough to switch to it. Playing an Acoustic now which is a totally different ballpark
  4. New Genextion V2C (Hybrid) from Nittaku

    i wonder if this stop of production of these tacky rubbers via ESN coincides with the less tacky DHS Hurricane 3s. Perhaps the chemicals to make the topsheet sticky became either unreasonably expensive or where banned by some commission. Let's be honest. If there was a study that chemical xyz...
  5. New Genextion V2C (Hybrid) from Nittaku

    a rubber does not get less bouncy after the alleged breaking in, so in terms of hybrid properties it could only get worse. i played it for about 4 to 5 hours i think.
  6. New Genextion V2C (Hybrid) from Nittaku

    Yes, it is not really sticky. Similar to Vega Pro H and the like. On top of it there is no dampening effect in the short game. Nearly as bouncy as the regular genextion. I was very disappointed. Already removed it from my blade.
  7. Advice for new rubbers

    LAC will be slower on weak to medium impact and pushes and only really more powerfull if you got a very decent acceleration on your loops. The omega 7 pro is much closer to your current rubber and definitely faster than the g-1. If you want to experiment, go for the xiom omega
  8. Advice for new rubbers

    Loki Arthur China would be a good pick if you want something very spinny and also more powerful, but it will be much harder to activate than the g-1. I would guess most people playing g-1 would have difficulties switching to LAC on a Viscaria, but give it a try.
  9. Advice for new rubbers

    So you want something less fast than a G-1 but still at least as spinny ? Sorry to break it to you, but the easiest way would be not to use an outer carbon. The viscaria itself will up your minimum speed already (if you dont plan to play unboosted chinese rubbers). Go for an 5ply wood with the...
  10. Xiom Omega 8?

    roning team on youtube just reviewed the Omega 8 China and sometimes compared it to dig09c.
  11. Let Detector

    but a net ball on serve that lands on the table afterwards is also a "let" ;)
  12. Let Detector

    Nice attempts, but I can already see issues with some gym floors that transmit vibration on people stomping when serving
  13. Slow, Spinny and control oriented inverted rubbers

    It depends on the state of your backhand rubber. If it is worn and the Vega intro is less worn I would indeed change back to it.
  14. Slow, Spinny and control oriented inverted rubbers

    Vega Intro is 47° on the esn scale and it is more controlled than vega europe. If you want to teach stuff yourself and get many bad habbits, then vega europe will support that. Good luck trying to get that out of your system if you ever wanna beat somebody that is not totally clueless about...
  15. Slow, Spinny and control oriented inverted rubbers

    a lot of assumptions here, but let's go: i have seen beginners play balls that are long (dont bounce twice on your side of the table) with an upward lobbing movement and just make it actually hit the table by trying to use the right amount of "upwards" force when hitting. This is the wrong way...
  16. W968 National Question

    because it would be too big of a shock to Zezima. V20 Extra i tried as well and it was not a "slowed" down version, but rather gimped in many ways (even spin) compared to the V20 DE. I don't know about the V15 Sticky Soft but similar to the K3 FX these are not for impactful looping since the...
  17. W968 National Question

    R48 will be easier to spin, yes, but much less controlled in the short game. It is perhaps wise if you can start testing that soon to know if you actually want to go back to the "regular springy tensor" rubbers. if you get discount on victas, then go for victas v20 double extra. That is...
  18. W968 National Question

    if we want to be picky, you dont play to ITTF rules, but rather the local league association's rules which may mirror the ITTF rules, but are not necessarily the same. If you are not playing internationally that is .
  19. W968 National Question

    Vega Pro is very different from "Vega Pro H". The question is why you would only want to buy from a local store. If it is about them glueing the rubber onto the blade i could probably understand it but if you are capable glueing yourself then there is nothing wrong ordering online for a better...
  20. W968 National Question

    i don't know why you are so adamant on buying the rubber on a discount. Butterfly you surely dont get a discount (at least that is the policy in germany) and the other rubbers might be cheaper in the first place than the other options. A Xiom Vega Pro H is 47€, Rakza Z and Z Extra Hard are 51€...
