  1. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Fresh from training I got confirming remarks after we warmed up. Me blocking with the Pk50 and him being a leftie forehand looping. He basically said "it's like playing against somebody with pips or anti. Usually I can increase the speed of my loops l, but your block always slows the ball down"

    To not go entirely offtopic, let's put my opinion about the main difference between PK50 and LAC first. PK50 is significantly more sticky (not only out of the box but also after several month). The speed i would generate with LAC is higher (which one could attribute to the harder sponge of the...

    you also have to take into account the vast difference in playing level of the people comparing. While you might voice an opinion that might be most valuable to better players, i am talking out of the perspective of a beginner really, so my experience might be closer to what another "newbie"...
  4. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    it is totally clear that this is my subjective experience and to be honest i never had issues when warming up and blocking the opponents topspins when basically doing the match warm up. Today i had a few system drills and i asked my coach to include this match like scenario where i push a serve...

    It's really sad that there is no replacement for it. I just compared the Pk50 and LAC in terms of blocking and the Pk50 effortlessly tamed harder top spins well, while the LAC was infinitely harder to control on these situations. The opponent can simply play hard enough to engage the LAC sponge...

    From rxton 7, 9, 5 and 3 none were as tacky as pk50 neither is LAC.

    Adrian Dodean. I am sorry if this is a reality check for many who think that playing Viscaria with dignics would be something that a hobby player could master with reasonable training effort. I do get it that coaches might tell you to go fast and uncontrollable with the setup. In the end it...
  8. Torn between 2 coaches...

    to recommend somebody with 64 years to play dignics 09c is ridiculous. former national players say its to demanding to traing and stay in shape for it with 40 years or something and somebody never having played in higher leagues is supposed to handle that setup. For that very reason you asking...
  9. Rakza Z vs Bluestar

    It's harder to activate and even more controlled in the short game
  10. Appears as though my service receive vs heavy side/top is bad. (video critique requested)

    a few things to note: - the push return of the backspin variants are good enough and dont allow your opponent to attack immediately - the movement on the serve is not brushing enough to impart any huge spin in regards of backspin or topspin - low backspin will become no- or topspin on tables...
  11. Stiga DNA Hybrid M and H compared to?

    iirc this picture compared the DNA hybrid M or H with the regular Tibhar Hybrid MK
  12. Part 2/4 of myself playing against Former Mexico no3. Enjoy this YouTube clip

    i have a pet peeve with the suggest serve receive position so close to the table. For a fast serve wide to the backhand you will not be able to cover it. Also the pivoting suggestion seems unreasonable to me. Who is the target audience ? Hobby players surely wont be able to pivot 2 meters to the...
  13. Feedback on my League games

    there are too many "if"s and "when"s with the new club. If you dont even know if they train properly i would not project my own wishes on the other clubs probable environment. perhaps they are all lazy and dont train properly. What then ? So you can probably still stay member of the old club...
  14. Which Yasaka setup would you choose?

    Rakza Z is definitely a good choice
  15. Best (simplest to use) editing software for table tennis matches?

    With a Samsung Phone you can you a Samsung smartwatch as remote controll and even have a preview of the phone to see if everything is in scope I use betterplay.ai which sometimes removes whole points, but it ismofmcourse very comfortable. Manually If I care enough I use davinci resolve, but to...
  16. Feedback on my League games

    Wolfgang was quite a good opponent and i think it could have gone any way (disregarding the point difference in the last set). I think the most positive you can take back from these three games is that you did not seem like you would have issues switching to your new blade and you were as...
  17. Feedback on my League games

    Günter is an interesting opponent, because he seems like he is favoring his backhand. He sometimes even used backhand block on a ball that would come more to this forehand. I see that at first you got issues with his "Kirmesaufschlag" (that is what i call this wiper serve that rotates inward...

    i only watched the match against the girl so far and in the first set you were really timid and passive. Did you think that you would win anyways or did you feel ill or that you lack energy ? There were quite some situations where you pushed long to your wide backhand and instead of moving 50cm...
  19. Be honest guys: you don't need carbon blades

    Just had a peek at that video and knowing how Lukas plays this is not really representative. Lukas is a show man and not really interested in improving and his opponent here is clearly looking out of his depth when i see how he effortlessly fails to loop simple backspin balls. Lukas was in a...
