BRS, did you find it hard to transition to carbon blade with you sp? I am guessing your carbon does not quite have the rigidity of the 7 ply wood you used before? Can I assume you switched to carbon to maintain the high levels of speed and spin on the fh, but more so the spin. Which generally...

What a shame the GOAT serves illegally. And the sport allows this. His first serve in the final went behind his head and thus was illegal. So like 99% of the rest of the professionals in the world, just for balance.

Even with a Sanwei Fextra and max Tenergy 05fx and a full swing my fh feels like treacle and mushy and slow in humid conditions. My friend uses a Drinkhall Carbon with 05 both sides and does not seem to suffer from the same problem. He tells me hard rubbers do not react as badly in humid...

Bear in mind I use mid pips, not short. They play quite differently. I hate Koto on fh, hated xiom solo on fh but loved it on bh I love limba blades and generally never liked carbon. I think Fextra is excellent in general and there is a good chance it is the correct blade for me. Rosewood...

Mine has finally arrived. First try last night was too humid, can't judge. Tried again today, feels sharper than Fextra, bit harder maybe but not stiffer. My practice partner said I was getting a lot of topspin on fh, but arc was fairly low. Blocks felt nuts. Pimple hits were very flat. I was...

No not yet, don't know anyone who has one?

What carbon blade would you use or recommend for short/mid pips and why? Bump!

I love Mima Ito. She is so emotional and expressive when she plays. She just can't hide her emotions. This is refreshing in a world where sports people are trained to be like robots. She is one of the most refreshing players in sport at the moment. I love the other 3 too, was a great game...

Currently using Sanwei Fextra and Tenergy 05fx and Spinlord Keiler bh. Now Fextra is amazing for Kieler, I think its fairly stiff but has a softish feel from the limba, excellent for blocking and hitting on bh with pips. Over my many different efforts with other blades of different types, I...

I don't like harder sponges unless Chinese rubber. The test will be whether I can get enough arc on loops in match play, and whether I can get enough spin. We will see

I have tried the MX-P twice now on Fextra. I think it arcs lower than 05fx on topspin's for the same stroke, however when I played a weaker opponent he struggled more to return and block my topspin's from MX-P than 05fx, same evening, same blade, same bh rubber, so reasonably scientific. After...

Lasta I feel like someone from England or Wales might see the post though! Can't risk it!

I think this could be key for my game, I am not a big spinner. A good player friend told me once I am a blocker/hitter who can topspin a bit. I want to play closer to table for pips, If i lose a bit of topspin but gain a bit in block hit ease of use, for now that might be a way forward. And...

My ideal woman, if i were 20 year younger. Good looking, intelligent and play table tennis!! And she serves way more legally than 99% of professionals in the world, it is that easy not to hide the ball on serve! Well done Mrs Otcharov!!

probably use mx-p i have been told it plays softer than it is told it might suit my style better been given a couple of sheets for a tenner each so worth a try

Surprisingly for an EJ I have never tried MX-P that will change tomorrow, I have a sheet of MX-P and a sheet of MX-P50 I actually think it might suit my style more than tenergy 05fx, but am worried if I will have enough spin.

This blade is too beautiful to use!

if you like bh dig, the best short pimp is spinlord waran. it digs really nasty on bh pushes, and plays like short pimple in other ways as you would expect

my Fextras are 91g i have 3 one of them has darker outer than others definitely stiffer than SK7 different to clipper, clipper always feels slow and stiff to me always felt the same about force pro black but i think i might like force pro black if i tried it again now I think its faster than...

Think that grip is engrained. Although I do not do it as much on BH. Pips on fh sounds disgusting. Urgghhh! I tried a Rosewood VII on weekend, its flexier than Fextra. It improved my fh spin generation and ease of fh spin, and confidence to spin. However it made my pip blocking and hitting...
