Thanks, TurboZ. When is the league going to end? Wondering how it will affect 2017.

I think 158mm by 152mm was one measurement I saw somewhere.

I think you are right. Like I said, this is why I gave up on the SPW. I am doing okay with the YE now, or I would have tried the GEWO Allround that AndySmith is using. I suspect it is really more like OFF-/OFF in the SPW tradition since it is as thick as the SPW but with a more standard head...

Thanks, Carl.

Part of it is the blade - the SPW is too large in head size. That's why I don't use it today as Hexer is the only rubber that was light enough for me to even try it.

There is a classic post on this issue by killerspintt that Carl likes to quote - I hope he can find it. Killerspintt was responding to an arrogant engineer who likes to argue that dwell time is not important because it is the actual physical response is so short. First of all, the sensation is...

Rambo doesn't use them on both sides. When he does he will come home from Nam.

Getting better at TT without the right kind of environment is tough. It can take 3 years to see the right kind of improvement even in a proper environment. I sometimes have suggestions but I don't want to downplay the obstacles. It's best to travel to a good camp or something and spend extended...

I think Evolution series is generally heavy. I can't remember where to place this one but I felt it was heavier than Tenergy 05. In my experience, the grip is outstanding. Someone on another website felt it wasn't vs MX-P and I was confused by that to be honest.

Understood. The main difference between me and you is that because of my internet experience, I don't trust the reviews of people I have never met or seen play. I have seen people who cannot loop properly write serious blade reviews. If you usually take recommendations from people who play two...

Open your own thread for this, this thread is mostly to discuss what we are trying to do with our table tennis games.

OK, now, maybe you don't understand what we are trying to say. The first question is what are you trying to do. IF we know what you are trying to do, then you can answer whether how a rubber plays on a blade might be what you like or not. But if you don't know or share what you are trying to...

Whenever I give my blade to my clubmates who are using Timo Boll Spirit or Timo Boll ZLC etc., they say my blade has too much feeling and is too slow. We are all using Tenergy (I switched from 05 to 80 recently), so who is right? I find their blades too fast. If they had my blade and changed...

Remember when we used to debate these things? It's not so much wrist action as using a whip motion and relaxing the forearm and wrist. You could ask him whether he uses his wrist and he might say no or he might say yes. But both answers are correct - the wrist is a joint. You can't use a...

Only (well, actually one of two) successful counterloop vs my opponent of the night and a good point too... youtu.be/IOEvy9hsd1A?t=655

Yes. The question is what kind of overall setup speed he is trying to achieve and without mentioning this, he is asking for what "works". I have never understood this - almost as if people think we can imagine how they want to play and what they can do without ever having seen them play.

BTW, there are four different plastic balls and they all play differently.

Just like playing with blades or even preparing for a test. If you care about the result, use the blade you intend to use at the tournament or study the material that will be tested on the exam. If you don't care about the result, use any blade or just party before the exam or read up on other...
