Players could and should talk about how they expect it to play... players do that all the time about a rubber that is not yet on the market... but it is a free world and Der_Echte is not gunna get in the way of that.

I would have to ask him... but from the vid, I see right behind the big bottle of glue there is a big roll of elastic gauze... ... I do not think it is an accident. What is in JSH's hand looks just like the stuff, just a guess.

For those who played T05 a long time... and pick up a rubber that is not T05 (Only T05 plays and has p[roperties of T05) than hands down MX-P is a rubber that lands the ball with the same strokes used for T05. User after user, including myself, reports that they are amazed that changing nothing...

TPC, correct, but price and looks is ALL anyone be talking about, at least mentioned important area.

JA !!!!!!!! YES !!!!!

Turn $50 into $5000 by putting $50 of gas into the car and driving to work. The question has been asked and answered 5 Billion times... there is not a rubber like T05 even to this day. MANY rubbers can play totally fine and have other good trade-offs and can work well for many players... I...

People be so damned obsessed over how something looks or how much it costs... but do not value the most important thing... Suitability & Performance. In sanctioned tourneys, it is customary to show opponent your bat before the match... I do so and it is like below... Der_Echte: Hi, check out...

Fight Fight Fight !!!

No one yet has spoken about how that dog barks... (How the Donic ZJK plays)

I have not seen a blade that does NOT work well with 05FX. Really. Find and use the blade you think is most appropriate and slap a sheet of 05FX on that puppy, go to the TT hall and listen to that dog bark every shot.

As for Gozo hated half long balls, I love attacking them with spin... or stepping in early with BH and finish them.

Yes, Aurus makes it easy to do just about any shot 96 out of 100 or more, but never 100 out of 100 in any. There are no 100 percent perfect rubbers in everything. There are trade-offs and Aurus to me by far has the best balance of trade-offs. You basically give up a tiny little of everything...

Any of the ESN rubbers with "Sound" in the name... Calibra Sound Aurus Sound ...just to name two of the many. You want extra extra soft rubber for this sound.

IMO this is an OUTSTANDING articulation of the facts. I would add that tables have different levels of friction coefficient for each table top. Many of the tables we use in clubs have a pretty low friction coefficient. The DHS tables in clubs after a few years are somewhat slick. A certain...

That serve had all three spins with the corkscrew bounce going against the side spin drift... so ball bounces more times on the table with the ball continuing to move/drift to the left. The corkscrew spin also controls the bounce here to help it stay lower. It is an example of how corkscrew...

I would agree and say in a different illustration/explanation that corkscrew is thinking like a face of a clock is a ball coming at you and the spin axis is the minute hand going clockwise or counter clockwise... ... that sidespin is like clock laying flat on the table sliding towards you...

Yes, the SLOWNESS of slow/heavy loops absolutely WRECKS timing... and that counts for a lot.

YES. Especially with professionally trained young players, who always train with fast hitting rallies in training... Their high level coaches would NEVER, I mean NEVER advocate for slow, heavy, it is pretty much a sacrilege and violation of how modern TT is SUPPOSED to be played. So... since...

I do not at all know who Perry Schwartzberg is, but I do speak German among other trouble making activities..

I have hit vs a boatload of players from just about every level and I can say with honesty and truth that the great majority of players under 2100 level in a match will struggle against those slow/heavy loops if you get the opportunity to play that shot, even many 2300 level struggle, just not...
