Nah - this came out of the T25 thread on mytt where pnatchwey was slapping the ball over the net in his video to prove to me that you can loop with T25. Someone referred to her so I googled her and saw the same upward looping and smashing game that I couldn't live with.

To give you a funny related story, when I tried Evolution MX-S for the first time, I felt it was too fast. Then I bought it in 1.9mm and it felt right. Then I compared the weight of the MX-S in 1.9mm to Big Dipper and Tenergy 05 and it was in the same range. Yes, we are creatures of habit...

Hahahaha - maybe this explains why I am seeing so many Stratus PowerWoods all over NY...

Table Tennis lesson 21st July 2015 Part 3 - the beginning of the video In that video, your forehand is beginning to look like the forehand of a good player (again, if you rotate your core more rather than leaning on your right foot, your balance will be better and the shot quality will improve)...

How much thinner? And do you mean APW46?

The main person people talk about is Adina Diaconu. She is a Romanian prospect who uses T25 on FH and T25 FX on BH. Here is John Bozi's video - you can see his stroke selection to get a gist of what T25 feels like in the hand of a looper. To quote Bozi: " After a week I found I had to kill...

Koki Niwa is using 05 now. He had to change as 25 was too limiting as he improved. You can see the change in his stroke selection and some of the bad habits that T25 encouraged in his blocking.

Thanks for the kind words, bro. Seriously, T25 was recommended to me when I was playing around 1700 level. The guy who recommended it felt it would help my close to the table game seriously. I kinda thought about it but couldn't find any players using it so I never took it seriously. One of...

The rubbers are fine. The blade is probably too fast, though he has to want to swing at the ball. The boy needs to learn to make the first topspin when the ball gets pushed back. He gets a push to his backhand and rather than spin with his backhand or pivot and use his forehand, he is pushing...

This isn't true unless you explain what you mean by control. And again, how many basement players (which is the style you are describing) will buy Tenergy? And how many serious attackers will pick a rubber for how well it chops and blocks rather than how well it loops and then how well it does...

So you are saying that only top players can loop or can appreciate the importance of looping and counterlooping? So you are a top player and the other players who are not top players and hate using T25 are idiots? Just trying to make sense of why you think T25 is a better rubber for most...

By playing tournaments and beating ranked players. Your coach said your setup is wrong because he thinks for your skill level, you can't manipulate the ball with feeling using it. I can't say that without being there, but my experience tends to dissuade me from recommending hard outer plies to...

Seriously? So T25 is so much better than T05 at serving, pushing, blocking and chopping (I never chop, BTW) that it is better for most players than T05, which is probably the best looping rubber in the world and excellent for serving, pushing and topspin blocking? So Sebas, how many good...

mcaisbyz2, are you a ranked player in the UK? How old are you? ;) No one is asking him to buy intermediate setups. If he was a young child, I would let him use his Palio TCT. Children learn to make anything work and have incredible feeling - the extra TCT power might help as well. But he...

My sentiments precisely.

Just use the Innerforce with the T05FX. Get used to the feeling of holding the ball - it will feel like a pillow sometimes but that is okay and is part of this. If you don't like T05FX, then learn to do a glue job and take the 05FX rubbers off and use the Rasant Grip on the Innerforce. Rasant...

"The simplest way to get better is to work hard on your backhand. At the levels you play, almost no one works on their backhand." "If you keep taking your shots, you'll be making them." "You guys, always trying to drive the ball past people. Do you know you can actually spin the ball slowly...

Both are pretty similar from what I read, both are better than the TCT. I, because I prefer Limba to Koto,and because Innerforce blades are also designed to feel pretty woody, would prefer the Innerforce. I have also hit with it before. You will get a composite kick when you swing at high...

Since you brought it up... Andy, I started playing seriously as an adult 4 years ago. I played a tournament without any coaching in March 2011 and got my first lessons in July 2011 or so. I've had degenerative arthritis throughout and as my body has gotten worse, my TT has gotten better...

Don't do it.... T25 is a specialist rubber for close to the table topspinners and it plays differently once you back off the table. If you really want to do it, try out someone else's blade before buying it. Use it both close to and away from the table You will see that it is just a...
