I really don't understand this at all. Can you give examples of where his strokes are not effective? Timo Boll tends to crush pretty much every one he plays who has not been a top 10 player before with a few exceptions. If you are saying that his strokes are so powerful that no one should...

You need coaching but you need to find a coach who has experience developing adult beginners. Coaches who mostly develop junior beginners don't tend to understand what it takes to get through to an adult as kids are more like sponges. Adults you usually have to have good stories to keep them...

You are doing very well for how long you have played. While there are technical fixes you can make (avoid finishing the stroke across your body too early on your forehand is one), these are all things that come with time. Do you get coaching?

How long have you been playing for, Siva?

Yes, 1.9. I plan to try out 2.1 later, but I doubt it will make me play any better. I know at least one good player (2300+) who uses Tenergy in 1.9mm, so these things can be very overrated/misconceived.

I think people should look at the Double Day ALC Loop King and the Double Day ALC Winner. I used to think the Loop King handle was too thin but I love it now with grip tape. I have never tried the Winner since I dislike Koto but if it is anything like the Loop King, it sure is a Winner.

The reason why Stiga compromises with FZD is that he is FZD - he sells equipment at a level that false appearances are worth the trouble. The reason why they didn't compromise with the players you mentioned are that they are lower level pros/hobbyists. And if you don't use Butterfly stuff...

Honestly, the real disruptor is the speed glue change and Tenergy (05). If Tenergy wasn't so vastly superior to the other offerings from other rubber manufacturers, things wouldn't be so bad.

I am trying out both Baracuda and MX-P - I am still trying to reach a hard conclusion as to which is better. But I am playing fairly well so these are all small things.

Yep. You don't have to tell me for me to see that. If he looped once, I would be picking up the ball more often than not.

Yes, they are using it for certain.

Doubleposting Carl, tell us how you much you like the second shot again? :p

Cool. So who is the member who got the rubber and reviewed it months before it showed up in the states? Me?

Exactly - feel means a lot. I actually prefer the hardness of MX-P unboosted or when the booster wears off. Catapult hurts my ability to powerloop backspin. As always, it depends on how you like to play.

Nexy OLAM testing - I tested it with MX-S but I couldn't play competitively with that and now with MX-P, since my important competitions are over. My original issue with MX-P was that it came boosted. I tested it a long time ago (over 2 years, almost 3) when it was new and gave the sheet away...

Go look at the review of Paul Drinkhall's blade series. On every blade in every test, he is using MX-P on the blade, from the slower softer all round to the newest powerspin carbon. Shouldn't that tell you something? In my experience, whether things go together is largely personal and has...

They are essential for high level inverted play as well with modern rubbers as modern technique requires solid contact before the spin motion.

Since AndySmith, who got the MX-S rubber shipped to him from Germany, lives in the UK and is a member of this forum as well as mytt, my impression is that you are making up stuff to fill in the gaps that you don't know and have certain preconceptions about MYtt that you are just supporting with...

I have never understood the concept of a rubber not working with a particular blade. Can you please explain to me what that means?

Slow spinny loop is about the rubber. Yes, you can do slow spinny loop easily. It is the contact for fast loop that is exciting.
