  1. Felix Lebrun lost 14 direct points on serve when faced Wang Chuqin

    Check the match against Darko. That moron even challenged wcq serve right away and lost the challenge. Imo the rules have to change completely or should stay the way it is and it should be part of the game. Trying to force the rules like this without TTR leads to ridiculous decisions many...
  2. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

    There goes the Joola blade from Zhou Qihao. Not sure about the rubber though. And not sure what that is, that he has switched to. Anyone have more insights or could recognize his new blade?
  3. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

    Thats curious, because he is still using Joola edgetape in the current star contender and he is still using a joola rubber on bh (at least i suppose so, because of the sponge color of his bh rubber).
  4. Best way to return short no-spin serve?

    For the sidespin variation you counter the sidespin and slightly guide it up over the net. The no spin serves are trickier because you tend to misread them. I mean even pros fail to read them occasionally. But yeah you slightly close the angle of the racket and guide the ball over the table...

    I cant recommend boosting lac. Topsheet seperation will more likeley accur. I dunno how you measure you spin quality. I tested it with my best training partner in the club and with spinsight back then, from another club at least with the J3. I could reach higher speed with J3 but spin was...

    Curious, in terms of hardness the rubber shouldnt feel too soft, should it?! And should the pro version not feel almost the same?! I mean there is not even a difference stated somewhere. The pro version is weirding my out, so i never tested it^^ Cant relate to your DHS ball experience at all...

    BD had decent spin in my experience if i had a good sheet. But the differences were too huge back then, so i made the switch. Btw i just noticed that R9 is available in many more hardness degrees. Anyone tested the other versions aside from the 40? R9 could maybe be a good substitute for LAC...

    For bh? Not for me on my outer alc blade. And i tested a lot of stuff over the last years. H3, H8, Telson... Nothing worked on the same level. Hurricanes were best in terms of spin but engaging the rubber and getting gears over the table was harder than with LAC. And dont forget that Hurricane...
  9. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Cant relate at all. Me and one of my training partners are around 10 lac sheets in, and had only the common issue of topsheet breaking up with its sponge. It gets pretty bad after around 2 months of active usage, with more than 10hrs/week of training currently. I am far from being a loki...
  10. FZD switches from alc to salc

    Or he just likes the handle more 😅
  11. Liang Jingkun signs with LOKI

    115€ 150€ These are the prices in germany for the adc/alc and special versions. Edit: in the description it is stated that the quality level of the woods is the differencemaker for the prices.
  12. What is the most important area to jump from 1900 to 2100?

    True i forgot that actually. That especially trasitions to get more consistent, more powerful and for better actions overall.
  13. What is the most important area to jump from 1900 to 2100?

    For me non of them. Being able to play it safe, keeping the ball in play was way more important. Then constency. For your list i would rate it like this: 1. Receive, because serves get better and you have to be able to bring back almost everything. 2. Serves, because having serves beyond...
  14. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Nothing naive at all. If we speak about H3 and D09c i would never reference any amateur or even anyone on this forum with "people". People here means players that i can refer to of which i know they use that rubber, usually pros. And that is the only thing i take here and put into my...
  15. Advice on H3 (qc issue or just the new version?)

    Or he got a commercial one, although i never experienced them this useless😅
  16. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Sorry have to strongly disagree in terms of the throw angle of the R9 compared to H3. This might be true for some shots with the OS but not the BS. Sorry but you cant boost that R9 that much, that it changes it throw angle so much that it matches H3 and definitly 09C by a long shot...
  17. Victas P1V discontinued?

    Funny enough for a defender setup i cant seem to find equipment i want. DHS 08x nowhere to be found with non cp handle. Same goes for several pips. Koji Matsushita Defensive wasnt available either. Now i just found the setup from Florian Bluhm from a store, although i had to take that...
  18. United Table Tennis Players Association

    A simple thought. Less than a handfull of players made wtt question and change their own ruling and decisionmaking. Now think what way more important players might achieve. The only issue i see currently is the lack of chinese players. They will need them because ittf and wtt is way too much...
  19. Zhang Jike: "Those who rely primarily on a Backhand system, can not reach the top"

    I might add that the title is utter clickbait. He never mentioned the end of anything whatsoever. I think he criticises players to be too much reliant on their bh (aka LSD) and arent therefore not that good in their footwork and therefore in their fh. While i agree that there is somewhat of...
  20. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Yep i agree. Though i still have the same issues around the edges. I do hit them quite a lot, and after around a month i usually have the first spots where the rubber says goodbye to the sponge^^ The sheets survive for good 2 months until the lose spots go too far into the rubber and it bothers...
