Hear hear. The title of this thread should be quite clear, it is meant for the hobbyists or enthusiasts. Slow down and play the spin. Enjoy the game, not the win.

Mine is black sponge.

I ran an experiment today. I took out my son's Jr blade ( Palio KC1 ) and slap on H3 soft as BH and Globe 999 41 degrees hardness as FH. Basically I am testing out Emrathich's theory where he states the best set-up is flexy blade with hard sponge rubber. I played on my return board for this...

I've found my ideal glue in Butterfly Free Chack 2, no hassle, easy to use. Rubber peels of clean and easy from my blade with almost no residue.

Speaking of EJ'ing: What rubber goes when with One ply Hinoki Shakehand e.g. Darker or Tibhar H-1-9? Tensor or Chinese Tacky?

One is when you play like a Gentleman; the other for when you want to go full on GOD mode. 😁😁😁

Yes I am cured of the EJ disease. Now I have settled nicely amongst my seven set-ups. I play them interchangeably, depending on my mood, my opponent type, whether I am super charged up on that particular day or lazy and lethargic. I'd realised that I am just a regular club hobbyist and I am not...

Thanks for the explanation. Appreciate it.

Hi TT community, My country is now under lockdown as the COVID numbers is getting into the worrisome level. As such, TT clubs nationwide are closed for business. Without my regular mates for playing TT, I have to go back to playing solo against my rebounding boards. I took out some of my old...

And not to mention; no one has that beautiful reverse tomohawk serve like Ding Ning. She is an awesome player and I truly hope she returns as CNT coach.

There are many YT sites where a certain coach will show you some perfect techniques and these vids do cater to a specific segment of players; i.e., beginners who are learning the sport. After a while there are only so many techniques to learn. Just like chess, after you learn all the moves of...

At the not so pro level, Xiom Vega Europe is a good BH alternative to T05. And more friendly to the pocket too.

How do you make something that is better than a perfect one? One of the best BH rubber I have played with and is priced reasonably too...

Not good for flat hitting, it is a looping blade.

My chinese tacky rubber is still very tacky even after one year of use. I use the DHS cleaner after each session and then cover it with a plastic protective sheet. Once a month I apply a light layer of Falco Life Extender.

Ha ha ha... sorry. Didn't notice the date. I just tried the blade not too long ago. So the feeling and memory is still fresh in my mind.

Yes I have tried it. One of my club-mate has it and he puts two sheets of Chinese tacky rubber; 729 brand IIRC on the blade. One rubber being hard for FH use and the other soft for BH use. I played one game ( best of five ) with it and these are my thoughts: 1) Blocking is amazing as it is...

Martial arts uses the core to generate the power required to executed flawless technique. TT uses the core ( waist ) to generate the power required to topspin for a winner. Coincidence?

After serving me for five years, I still bring my first custom blade i.e., Stiga All round to competition despite owning faster blades.The feeling this blade gives is unparalleled. I prefer feeling over speed.

I find the Mark V too mushy for my taste coming from DHS NH3 40 degree hardness experience. Also the Euro/Jpn manufacturer seems to have abandon the non-tensor segment completely. My beef with these tensor offering is that they product a non-linear correlation between force input and outcome...
