I used to prefer straight, now I prefer flare. Flare forces my fingers to stay where I think they are supposed to be for me to play my best.

It depends on the technique and the type of the loop. Some rubbers bottom out earlier than others and some rubbers also need more racket head speed to activate their throw. For someone who swings at a certain speed that is medium paced, they will find T25 low throw or dead while T05 is really...

DerEchte has now been re-armed with a 88-90g KJH blade with Karis M and Evolution MX-P. People beware...

You've been trolling in his defense since he joined, have you noticed?

I think those things are all technical choices - you can open harder with a slower blade and still get the ball to dip. If you don't like the feeling, I think a harder top play is the way to go, not necessarily a faster blade. That said, you do seem to know what you want, but I don't think it...

Yes the lack of exposure to high level TT explains his appeal to certain amateurs. That said, I am not so sure that all these things are "fundamentals" so much as things that you pick up over time as you hang around and play better and better table tennis.

Your approach in my experience is completely wrong. If you want to play more third ball attacks, you need a slower blade/ spinnier rubber so you can power through backspin confidently, not a faster blade/faster rubber which will often lead to you overshooting the table. As a general rule, the...

Any Butterfly ALC or ZLC blade will give you what you are looking for. Sorry but the blades are more expensive.

Great points. I have seen Chinese people come to my club and watch me for minutes loop, play and serve, even though I am just USATT 2000. If we were to believe stories about Chinese amateur table tennis which some people never seriously think through, this should never happen. But the truth is...

I got two. The blade was too bouncy and lacked feeling. The baLloyd always flew off before I could do anything with it. Even when I got one of them back a couple of weeks ago, my opinion was unchanged. It was head heavy and lacking balance.

I know. Everyone is different. I know people who change their Tenergy because they don't like how it looks after 1 month of play.

Force Pro Black Edition is one of the worst blade I have ever used. Unfortunately, I am almost alone in this opinion. The Blue edition is much better but has a chippy top ply after multiple regluings. I currently have the Tibhar King Jung Hoon (designed by Nexy) and like it a lot. I didn't...

Like I said, my equipment looks worse than that. Once I can loop with it, the rest is moot.

Yes. That's why it's a good thing that Emrat is sharing details. It reduces the speculation.

Jirrex, I think people like you have superpowers. My equipment looks worse than that.

Beautiful FH by DimA.

The point is that if he broke the ball with the edge, it should be a let! And Dima didn't share the ball to come to a consensus.

I think it is top 5 that go, but you may be right. Here is last year's document. http://dd7978b90kfgn.cloudfront.net/2016/08/Qualification-Playing-System-WWCMWC-2016_FINAL.pdf
