to buy or not to buy Freitas ALC, that’s the question now … 🙈🤪

I am 43. 😉

will all due respect, it’s gone. I’ve seen plenty of matches where it was power vs. power. but the I saw that power being tamed by rotation and not so much power. twice. once in A. Lebrun vs. Park Gyuhyeon, where Park started playing with more rotation and less power and Lebrun was completely...

this week, during one of the practice sessions, as I was teaching how to impart good rotation on forehand topspin, I realised, why all the kids and youger players know how to hit the ball hard but lack rotation, and also, why everyone is saying - "with the plastic ball, there isn't so much...

I played with D09c on both sides when I was playing with HAL, was very happy with the setup and am considering again to use it on Viscaria ... but by a coincidence came across Yasaka Rakza 7 Hard now and I am in love. still waiting for the honeymoon phase to pass, but so far it is great ...

Butterfly M.Maze Arylate blade ... it's ... hideous ... that's why I didn't get one when I had a chance even though it ticks all the boxes for me ... 🙈

every blade differs, even two Viscarias are different. but if you get two blades of same weight and similar balance, it should be pretty similar. FZD and Viscaria are identical in structure. the only difference is the handle, which is bigger on FZD. and that is the only difference. of course...

to my experience, FZD and Viscaria are same blades except for the thicker handle on FZD. you could try Xiom Omega VII/VIII Pro, too, it’s a really nice rubber, very forgiving, nice feel, just enough speed and spin. also Rakza 7 … Rakza 7 Hard I am still trying to understand, but so far I like...

no, completely different. also, speed difference. I mean, these are two completely different blades … different feel, different speed. HAL is also quite picky in regards to rubbers - in my experience it works well only with 50+ ESN hardness rubbers. FZD/Viscaria (same blade, handle is...

I am on the edge of trying these two on same blade, but mostly I see people playing with Zyre03 on BH, but I am thinking of getting it on FH or at least to try playing with them on both sides ... anyone playing with Zyre03 on FH?

sorry, but I don't see blade being problem for your timing problem. that's stroke technique problem, not blade problem ... or, to put it more directly - if you mistime your strokes with Primorac Carbon, you will mistime your stroke with any blade you buy ...

believe it or not, it is possible. I was playing with Hurricane Ma Long 5 and had andro Rasanter C53 on FH and andro Nuzn50 on BH. loved the C53 so much I said I will put two of those on the blade. did that and the blade became this unresponsive, feelingless, dead beautiful piece of wood.

didn’t read all the comments but if I learned anything in past few years after getting back to table tennis is this. one of my “jobs” in the club is to test equipment. also one of my hobbies. so I often buy or get new blades and rubbers and test them so I can recommend them (or not) to our...

well … I always believed you have to think outside of the box … with Falck and Truls, he most definitely did. 😉

yeah, but you laid the foundation which is a very important part of table tennis ... ;) this is a part where I struggle a lot as a coach, but can work with kids that already have some basics and then work from then on. but I can tell you - if basics are off - it is sooooo much more work ... so...

everybody talking about arm, shoulder, elbow, but no one touches the footwork!? good footwork is foundation. no footwork no table tennis. you can have perfect stroke technique but without the legs support, it’s not worth much. and I see this all over the junior categories - great arm...

ok, so you have some table tennis in your hands and not so old, ok. so, for starters - try to go in steps. first try to change one component - either blade or rubbers. not everything. people here already told you that. so, rubbers, I would suggest andro Rasanter C53. it is a very nice rubber...

three questions: - how old are you - how long are you playing - are you being coached or self trained

I don’t think sticky and lively go together with table tennis rubbers. 🤪🙈
