It is not just that :)

Grip orientation, index finger position, shoes...:ROFLMAO: The problems are that: 1) he starts below the ball and then is lifting it up, rather than pressing it down 2) he is adding spin to the incoming topspin rather than contacting it flat 3) he is accelerating at contact rather than...

The problem here is that your partner isn't blocking lol.

I wouldn't bet on it...

I watched probably 15+ minutes combined of the recent videos you've been posting. That's enough to identify that you have a broken forehand. As for why, my posts in the H3 thread and what others especially Haito have said here, get the point across. Pointing out two decent shots and acting like...

I meant that as the batch that were prepared for Hugo, not necessarily owned or used by. Appreciate the clarification though.

🤔

Ok so I read that as "I'm not trying to hit through the sponge at all in the videos I posted" and your partner has issues blocking heavy spin and slow shots so you're working on that separately of the video. My bad. I have no goalposts to shift or desire to "shit on" you. But it does seem like...

Ok. You can blame your practice partner all that you want, the fact is very simple - your stroke is still completely incorrect even if you were trying to hit a lower spin ball that is more manageable for your partner. You confuse hitting through the ball with adding power, they are not the exact...

Except for that fact that Matt already said he confirmed it did in fact come from Hugo's batch but he doesn't know how it ended up in China.

If so, that would just about confirm that Hugo is in fact directly dealing/receiving from ADK in Korea rather than Joola Germany/USA, as was said before on this thread. Sounds like it came from this batch.

Seems likely. Why the need to denote 2F.5H then if it is a stock ARY-C which would all be 2F.5H? Because there is a blade that was sent to Hugo in that batch that is actually 7H or 2C.5H that uses the same handle? Methinks...

Why the marking on the handle though if it is just a stock ARY-C that uses fiber? Marking 2 fiber and 5 H (whatever that means, presumably referring to the 5 wood plies) would seem unnecessary if there wasn't something about that specific blade that they wanted to denote, if I understand the...

So you're trying to hit every forehand straight into the net because your opponent wouldn't be able to block it if you did your proper loop? Come on man... Hitting through the sponge doesn't make it become heavy and slow...

Think of it this way: You need to fix your forehand stroke (if you ever want to get better). It is very incorrect and will not perform well with any type of rubber. So, provided the above: When trying to learn the new and improved forehand technique you need to learn, a softer rubber will be...

Of course fixing your stroke and accelerating through the ball would be the best way to increase your hit rate, regardless of equipment. However, since you're so far off of a proper stroke, and need to learn to actually "crack"/hit through the ball, trying that with a very hard rubber initially...

Rubber doesn't "teach you" or "force you" to do things - its one of the biggest noob traps in thinking online. How can you learn how to do something when you miss 90% of the time and never get the positive feedback loop?

The weaknesses were very relevant based on the video you posted the other day - you don't accelerate through contact with the ball at all, so rubbers like H3 will definitely exacerbate the problem of so many of your forehands going straight into the net.

Kuo lost to Wen in their first 3 meetings dating back to 2023, likely due to age gap (WRB has a fake age). Kuo has won the 3 most recent ones before today, so I'm not sure it is a trend yet.

Not that I think it really has to do with JOOLA, but finally beating someone of his own (supposed top 5) level for the first time in a long time, only to still lose the final (in a tournament without WCQ, LSD, and Felix) is not exactly going to shut up the haters any time soon. Maybe he set the...
