Maybe it is the difference in blades we used. I still have R9 on my custom alc and do like it on it. Especially because it feels so damn crispy and really fast. But it behaves slightly different on my inner ac, so that xuperman feels a little bit better.

Yep id go back too, but i had durability issues with BS and im not quite fond of using a 40+ € rubber which can die after 2 weeks. But we will see, in case xuperman might dissappoint too at some point i might go back either way^^

Fascinating. Curious if or when they will bring their bh rubber to the wider market. I finally made the switch. I tested the normal, pro and R9 against each other and decided for the normal xuperman version. Xuperman has a better more natural (for me) throw and has enough speed (especially...

As of late im boosting with haifu and even with that it is almost impossible for me to boost more than 2 layers. The last rubber domed to a full U and any more booster would have made it into an O. So i would say it all depends on how the reaction of the rubber unfolds, too.

So ive tested a bit around due to having xuperman around and played with R9 back then. Id say xuperman is close to H3 than r9 in terms of throw and speed. R9 kicks off faster and its overall trajectory is lower. The difference are noticable but not with bigger impact. In my testing phase i...

Yeah sorry but your post is weirding me out. EJing is the epitome of changing your equipment to something else at least partially. He simply change to his spare racket. In what world is that EJing ffs. Although he did seem to have issues with his equipment, especially his bh, he seemed off...

I kinda have to ask. The heck did he change?

The only thing i would put into question is the difference between mls bh and others in terms of strenght. As you can see in many training videos of ml like this one: Is that mls bh isnt weaker than fzd bh per se. Imo their technique overall differs in several other departments that ml...

I might add that R9 is cheaper (at least now its price got reduced) and more durable.

Why would that be the case? The comparison above was about H3 Battle 2 bs and R9. Im quite sure i can outspeed LAC with full force but LAC is overall easier to engage. I dont remember quite much about my J3 experience so i cant judge on that.

Yes among other things. More dynamic means the rubber is easier to engage and is more lively.

For me they are quite close. R9 feels a bit more dynamic and easier to engage. Throw and arc is a bit higher from the R9. That is the main reason im currently struggling ti decide whether im gonna stick with R9 or xuperman for the upcoming season. Probably gonna test the non pro xuperman...

I dont get the issue. Is there one? Or are you drunk again?

Depends on way too many factors. Pros for example train longer and more often. Their body and mind have already adapted to that stress and dont need that long to recover from that. If i train around 4 hrs for example i have sore legs, back and feel stressed out the next day. If something...

My cats approve

Exactly. I wanna add (somewhat again), @TensorBackhand do you really think that shorter pros like mima wouldnt reach it? I mean these players can out maneuver topspins. In what world cant they outrun a freaking slow serve? Thats a sidejump+splitstep, which someone like mima can do in half a...

Id place my money on TTGearLab. Lets play table tennis are sponsored by Joola if my memory serves right and were sponsored by Tibhar beforehand. They tryhard to stay neutral but you can see on their reviews about the rubbers and blades from their sponsor that they literally cant say anything...

I get that. That doesnt mean that there is no value in his approach. The opposite is the case. Although TB does weird shit and often has an even weirder understanding of things, his wild testing and all the information about that he gives willingly out is used by many. I actually wish we had...

Problem 1: not ez to execute with high quality (ie fast and not foreseeable) Problem 2: slow serve. A pro like mima ito would easily react in time and could even walk around table and hit a return. Imagine if mima ito is even fast enough to hit the ball after it comes back to your side...

As per usual i hardly disagree on this topic Especially as long as information and guidance about our equipment is so vague and full of bullshit on many levels, testing and trying out cheaper stuff that give you around the same bang for less buck, is really important so we find the gems out...
