if it is only about looping easier in general i would not go for C55 or g09c, the former i did not test but the pure hardness would not make much of a difference (even though different enough in characteristics from the d09c). The g09c will indeed make you land more shots on the table, because...

I would not go with the Victas TDE (even though i never tried it) simply because according to reviews it will require even more strength to activate it. What you really want is a rubber that is not that picky about the bat angle so that your shot percentage counter looping increases even when...

i did not want to mention it in the other thread, but since you are coming to the realization yourself in here i think the dignics 09c does more harm than good. It's high requirement on precision and techniques make you lose your confidence in games too fast and you resort to being passive and...

Do you actually use a wide variety of serves in a match ? If you choose a vastly different serve each time the return will also vary greatly not making you adjust to a specific return of the opponent, because you get thrown into a new situation every time. Usually you would know how your serve...

You should vary the serve depending on how the opponent is setup to receive it. If we assume you and your partner are right handers and your opponent as well there are two option for him to receive: either standing there with the backhand or standing in the middle to receive with the forehand...

@SleepyMaster Yes i totally agree, there is a performane ceiling with the long pips tactics. That guy has 1450 points currently and i would estimate (by checking how often these long pips players appear in higher leages) that most wont reach more than 1600, because at that level there are very...

Know a guy that i could win a match here and there approximately a year ago. He played Harimoto ALC and double inverted. Now a year later he gained 300 Rating Points (played a lot of tournaments) and is playing an Alround Blade with MXP and Long Pips. Now best i can do is perhaps win a game or...

Tibhar Hybrid MK would probably be the closest with the least amount of adjustment needed, but be aware that it does not last that long. Durability is worse with hybrids most of the time

Lol, that is not Igor in that video

No, it does not. It is more of a hitter/smashers rubber not excelling at spin.

Z2 is not a hybrid

If there is underspin on it you can't smash from below net level, but i guess what you do is a lob or lift.

That was obviously against a way epweaker opponent. Here he is playing against one of the best players of the 3rd division iirc

Iirc there was a thread about AI evaluation of table tennis players in a German forum as well and the result was that none of the AIs actually is able to analyse the videos and just parroted the video descriptions it found for other table tennis videos found in the internet

and this is where you got it wrong. you should not read to much into revspin ratings, because you don't know what other rubbers the people rating it know or play or what they are used to. Rakza Z has a high throw, LAC does not have as high of a throw as Rakza Z, but still far from low in most...

That does not make sense to me, because passive usually means pushing, perhaps he means blocking but then again the all wood blade should be much more controllable in all situations (compared to the harimoto).

why would i compare PK50 to Rakza Z EH ? PK i use on the backhand and Rakza Z EH i definitely would use on the forehand. Given the experience of the boosted LAC whose sponge tore apart when removing it from the blade, even though i had only used a very thin layer of yellow seamoon, i would not...

i just read in a review of the dignics 09c that the "c" stands for circular sponge which was meant to mean that there are little gel filled pockets or gel particles in the sponge. I never heard of that before and now i think it might be a reason for its durability. I would assume that air in the...

sry, its already cut and glued, so i can not tell, but according to anatomic edge (YT channel) it is 76g uncut and about 55g cut, so more on the heavy side of things.

i was lucky and received a brand new yasaka rakza z extra hard and glued it onto a blade to compare it with the new rxton 7 '39 (which was as spinny as the 5 month old LAC). Now comparing the passive bounce, the Rakza Z EH is even more unbouncy (dead). comparing spin on serve, topspin and...
