I don't want to jump onto the "hl5 with max dignics 09c is only for pro players"-bandwagon, but if i see this rallye i notice that you never ever did use a loop or shot that you put more than 80% power into. Of course you want to return the ball onto the table, but if your setup does not...

orange is "super sticky" and green is less sticky (if at all)

i have never seen a dignics 09c that felt similar to the G-1, tbh. I do trust you do notice the difference in rubber hardnesses and the like, so it might have been a fluke or was it perhaps a well worn d09c which was your first one ? If it was just about keeping the spin and slowing down i...

so while the dignics 09c is also relatively hard if we compare it to ESN tensors, it is still a different beast to what Ma Long plays on the forehand. To put it bluntly, the boosted hurricanes are indeed better for the larger and longer swing that Ma long does, while dignics 09c is more...

The Long 5 is already as close as you would come to Ma Longs Blade within a reasonable price. The W968 would not be that different that it would be justifying playing more than 300 € for a "cheap" w968. If you think about it in terms of an investment as your new primary blade, a w968 could make...

They are not comparable. 09c is a real hybrid while the hybrid mk is a regular tensor with a little hybrid flavour. Hybrid mk is closer to fastarc g-1.

you're observations are correct. There are simple rules and i am surprised that seemingly more advanced players would tell anybody to push an empty ball. This just tells me that who actuall recommends such things are lacking in the short game, because this simlpy does not work. dead spin...

The german system and regulations are stupid and broken, tbh. This short term "we can get all our teams promoted" is not really "fair play" to the others and indeed using the "cheat" to field a non-classified player until his QTTR is fixed and demanding you to place him in the correct team (if...

from a logical standpoint it does make sense and it does not. You will strenghten your thighs, which is good and a prerequisite to staying low for a longer time during rallies. playing without it your legs will "miss" the counterweight and probably make you stand up even more straight.

you are being not specific enough. You need to provide the fall height, but apart from real chinese rubbers, the pk50 is the one with the lowest bounce on passive strokes definitely.

this is side-underspin most likely, and not corkscrew (which would have to be clockwise or counter-clockwise) spin from the position of the receiver.

it is always a fine line between being newbie friendly to attract upcoming club players and not making it unbearable for the more senior players to find time and space to train for their matches. I am in several clubs and one of them has real issues with having enough tables. The location can...

any high level coach i had always told me to expect long and if it is short you can still go for the emergency push. having the hand over the table when reacting to the receive of your ball is only to be used when your serve makes sure that the ball is going to be put short and forehand...

Pretty funny when he tells you to let the ball drop below table level and then demonstrates it at the end always hitting the ball above table level.

that was not the argument. The point made was that the rubber does not change and it is just the person getting accustomed to the rubber which changes perception. This can be measured easily to be false since there are very few rubbers that are pre/factory boosted that do not change their...

That is incorrect. You can basically measure the bounciness of a rubber right out of the package and after a few weeks. The results vary quite big most of the time. I had rubbers that were very controlled at first and looked to be great in the short game only to be just as bouncy as regular esn...

aruna has a more non conventional technique more acking to somebody using a strong emphasys on power, so i guess he just does not care that much and will stick with his "brute force" method.

i had a singles and doubles competition yesterday. due to the lack of time the singles competition only used the best of three format, so winning to games would be enough to win. we had 4 groups with 5 people each. I won every game bar the one where i thought "i already played this guy and he...

You are having more competitive experience and are playing table tennis for longer than me, so what i will tell you might or might not apply to you. If you can play with a very different blade with different rubbers nearly as good a the blade and setup that you played with for more than 6...

I think you did adapt to the dignics 09c as well as you could. You worked your way into having a "comfortable" way to use the rubber to hit powerful loops/drives and that does work for you. As you do notice yourself there are some aspects that will be harder with the 09c compared to other...
