  2. Switching to old generation rubbers

    I like Fastarc G1 better than the newer stuff. I do play close to the table.
  3. Improve my FH topspin

    When I used to have time (and Carl as well), we used to link to videos of players and coaches displaying and teaching the ideas that we tried to convey. Many of mine came from Ttedge since most of my formal understanding of TT comes from working with Brett Clarke. But of course it isn't...
  4. Improve my FH topspin

    Lula is posting a lot of wisdom that will only make sense to someone who already gets it. Let us hope OP improves a couple of things and posts again. Personally I find commenting on these things with my limited time difficult. The thing I liked that Lula pointed out is that for a year of...
  5. Butterfly Innerforce series - whats the deal in compare to 5ply/7ply allwood blades?

    The main point of composites is to increase stiffness without increasing thickness. This is a good thing if you prefer stiffer blades but want the thinner feel of a looping blade. Thinner composites can get the stiffness of thicker 7 plies.

    Is Jung Youngsik with Xiom too? Since when?

    It always depends on the contract. Some contracts force you to use your sponsor's equipment, others do not.
  8. Flexible outer layer (e.g. Limba, Spruce) manditory for Chinese technique?

    Why are you answering a question you have already answered? OF course it is not mandatory.
  9. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Fastarc G1 is a special rubber. I can guess why I never tried it in the past (it was Nittaku expensive) but if you don't like Tenergy and you like the Hexer/Genius/Baracuda generation, this is definitely the best of the bunch. I tried it on Hinoki Ghost and on my Akkad - I am more used to it...
  10. "Strong Statements of Intent from ITTF"

    Some people say it will hurt defenders even more I am in support of a higher net. The plastic balls bounce higher.
  11. Happy New year!

    Get back to playing rated matches at some point.

    Merry New Year!
  13. Daily TT Chit Chat 2

    Sometimes, you have to have followed someone's posts across multiple forums and social media to notice the quiela in their thinking and the degree to which they can be attention seeking.
  14. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    My contact depth even for spin has always been relatively deep and with my knees I might need to push a lot. I am experimenting though so it will be a while before I can say I am done with the process.
  15. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I prefer the top ply of the Akkad with Wenge wood to the top ply of the KJH with white ash. Even on the Rubicon and on the Arche. The Rubicon was too slow and the Arche was half an Akkad and slower. The Akkad is ridiculously linear. I have zero complaints at the moment and it will always...

    Harimoto was born in Japan. No one doubts his age.
  17. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    How old is he? Not entirely sold.
  18. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Strokes look excellent and the forehand much better than I remember with a better loading of the core and the legs. Keep up the hard work.
  19. Tibhar Evolution MX-S Alternatives?

    If you like MX-S, Fastarc G1 is worth a try.
  20. Who currently has the best backhand in table tennis?

    No one is so I focus on overall backhand play and Harimoto has the edge.
