Sorry, I dissagree with people recommending hard sticky rubbers for choppping. Since you chop away from the table you will need some extra rebound speed from the rubber. Dignics 09C is designed for close to the table counter attacking play. Even Timo himself admitted that its not good when you...

Increase the quality of your loops with more spin. especially the opening loop should be slow and spinny for 3 reasons: 1. Higher safety factor for the looper. 2. Most people struggle with blocking slow spinny balls, because it doesn't come to practice often. 3. You have more time to recover and...

This is pretty much what a strawberry flick is for penholders.

I don’t know, I never played with Rosewood. Not many people have. And I see you already set you mind on it and you will probably buy the Rosewood anyways. But purely looking at active users (people currently using the blade) on Revspin: Infinity: 47 current users Rosewood V: 8 current users...

If the main problem is the weight being too light, then try the Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive. Stiga pretty much made the Intensity based on that blade, but lighter for Xu Xin. I don’t know how well it matches up with H3, but the blade was made for Ma Lin, who played with TG2. So H3 should be...

Yeah of course, it will have the same power on both sides. Viscaria is just more balanced towards the handle, which makes it more suited quick backhands. And W968 is more head heavy, which makes for a harder swing on the forehand.

I don’t own either blade, but there seems to be a pattern that powerful forehand attackers like Ma Long and Wang Chuqin play with W968, and powerful backhand attackers like Fan Zhendong or Lin Shidong play with Golden Viscaria.

You know what’s annoying? People wanting to know what pro players play with. Especially the CNT play with custom rubbers that are made specially for them. So it doesn’t matter what he plays with, because we can’t buy it anyway.

You can never be sure about equipment of CNT players. Even though he is supposedly using a Joola blade, it probably is a CNT/Golden Viscaria. Just like Fan Zhendong when he was sponsored by Stiga. He was using a Viscaria with Infinity handle. CNT players generally play with 2 types of setups...

It is a bit sticky and it comes with a film, but not too much. Its enough tot pick the ball up by maybe an inch off the table, but the ball doesnt stick to the rubber. See it for yourself: https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxz8BOqPLYdQ9nswnQk6v-ATjjlLuCY68w?si=o3JpvRHvoB9VkHsc

Honestly, you dont play bad. And there is no need to kill these chops to get throught them. As someone who prefers to attack controlled rather then powerful, I don't have an issue with beating choppers. The rallies might be a bit longer and I need a bit more patience to win the points. And these...

Like @K.K mentioned, NUZN 55 is a completely different rubber. Maybe it will be silimair to H3 in terms or hardness and arc. But the similarities end there. I wouldn't call the NUZN a hybrid rubber. If you were to compare NUZN to Dignics, it would be closer to 05 then 09C. The blade is also...

Exactly by training. But what do we train? You need to know your strengths and how you generally win points in match play, and train different ways of converting rallies into your strengths a.k.a. score more points. I will take myself as an example here. Whenever I get my forehand in the rally...

In my opinion, focus is useless if you don't know what the h*ll is going on in the match you are currently playing. Okay maybe I was a bit harsh, it's not completely useless. Its better then not keeping any sort of focus. I often hear people talk about focus as if it makes them play better. If...

I don’t know to be honest. Havent played with either one. But it sounds like you like the way your current setup plays, but its too quick and you want something a bit slower. So I would either change only the blade or the rubber to not make the difference too great. If you were to pick the...

To go from outer ALC with Tenergy to Inner ALC with Dignics 09C is a big change. I would say either try Dignics 09C on your current blade, or try the Harimoto ALC with your current set of rubbers.

You should play exactly the same at 9-9 as 0-0. Of course in terms of tactics things can change as the match goes on, but in terms of mindset it should be the same. I recently saw a YouTube Short that quoted Timo Boll, answering this exact question: “In my whole career, I have won 80% out of...

Not necessarily, its not that complicated. A slow ball is pretty much any ball where the opponent doesn’t increase the speed of the ball and put pressure on you. So it can either be a push, a block, but also a spinny half-long/long serve or a slow spinny topspin. On all these balls you have to...

I would say to lower your playing stance when playing rallies. As low as you are standing in your receive position is how low you should be the entire rally. This will make is easier to play closer to the table and will fix 80% of the mistakes you are pointing out. Against faster balls you will...

This is something lots of people experience. Especially the just keep pushing and don't attack is a common go-to strategy when someone gets outplayed in their own game, and it might feel awfully boring and wrong to win like this. I have 2 answers to this: 1. Winning is winning, it doesn't...
