Getting back into my educational video era 😅

Voltema and arylate (edited out Dyneema to correct) are all names for vectran. It can be dyed in multiple colours, commonly blue, orange, green in table tennis.

Do you mean the metal ones that are kind of embossed/engraved rather than smooth?

It will have the same lens style yes. I think brands have mostly done it because once the rubber is on the blade there’s not much to identify the blade apart from the handle colours, and many of them start to look the same. It’s not something I could really change without all of the global team...

45 has a cult following out there, but that one won’t be coming back. For me the 90 is much better, I think the super alc fiber as an outer just matches better with koto on the top layer imo

ZQH 😇 I’m a die hard for that blade, and now that I’m much more involved on the product side I’ve finished the blade design and rebrand to bring it back next year 😁 finally. The ARY-x for me personally doesn’t have enough bite, you have to play a more physical game and the blade helps shape the...

你好👋欢迎来TTD Forum! 😁 Nice to have you here, Beijing is such a great place to play table tennis, I’m sure people will eventually ask you for recommendations for when they travel there haha

Yes back in 2019. They do plenty of table drills, but they are more focused on gameplay elements, the number of regular drills you see is less frequent. I think also because of the needs of a closed training session they are able to use multiball to create a greater volume of repetitions for...

Yes there's definitely a foundation level of technique that you NEED, but I think a lot of players see the Chinese players and try to chase technical perfection when they have nowhere near the number of hours to invest into that. I always used to see parents talking about Ma Long this, Ma Long...

Put in some graft to get this one together quickly :D

Haha i’m sure some will hold on to it for as long as Hugo doesn’t bring home gold. I think Ljubljana, Brazil, parts of US and Europe Smash and now Macao he’s been playing some great table tennis. Hopefully there’s some momentum building 🙃

I noticed that one in particular too

I have sat on this for a long time (years), but since I am trying to make more long-form content I wanted to share. I tried to think of things I observed which could actually help people to think about the way they coach and train, and what their perspectives and focus points are during their...

I definitely agree with that regarding their market share, but I don't think other brands are necessarily actively trying to copy Rozena, that style of rubber in that pricepoint has definitely existed for some time and those types of rubber with bigger sweetspot and more forgiving are common in...

If JOOLA copied Rozena because it was one of the best selling rubbers in Japan, don't you think they would sell Rhyzen Fire in Japan? :D The rubber was made to target an intermediate level pricepoint, like many rubbers before it - Rhyzm Tech, Samba, Mambo etc. Brands have been developing...

Correct

Great stuff Dan, you want to go and see Korbel he will sort you right out! Haha (the real pioneer) 🤪

Yea definitely try and give the most open review possible, I think there has to be some independence to the review otherwise it’s less credible and effectively would have no value. Giving the impression that a piece of equipment is somehow perfect is just totally inaccurate because it’s still...

You’re quick! 🥳

In case anyone was curious, finally got to slap the rubbers and blade together today and give them a test run
