  1. EmRatThich says learn w/Max thickness, fast rubber?

    In TT we have too many variables to learn as a beginner. And i would count the thickness of a sponge as one of thos variables you could neglect as a developing player. The difference is way below a different blade or rubber in itself. In regard of his statement i hardly disagree. As in nearly...
  2. Post your latest EJ purchase

    Sword Vsea Loki Arthur China Loki Arthur China Already using the Sword Vsea with Battle II BS (fh) and H3 neo 37 (bh) Im really surprised how good that blade feels, especially on fh. I had some serious issues because of the higher weight (over 200g) especially on bh, but as my wrist adjusted it...
  3. Longevity of Hybrid rubbers

    These were simply examples because i dont play hybrids currently. As ive stated afterwards.
  4. Longevity of Hybrid rubbers

    I currently have around the same amount of training hours, depending on one of the trainingdays and dont have that issue with the real tacky rubbers, as H8, H8-80, H3 and the Battle 2 i am using. They do get a slight worn out look but i still can lift the balls up with a 2 months old battle 2...
  5. Are Lebrun brothers just developing a permanent reputation for bad sportsmanship?

    Harimoto all the way. At least he is always respectfull and honest. I never saw him mock anyone or serving on purpose when the opponent is clearly not ready. But besides this, FZD "chos" after contact from lebrun. And the ball didnt get into play again. Yeah probably a bit prematurely and not...
  6. Vote for the dissolution of the WTT. Enough is enough !

    At first i thought this escalated quickly and was quite amused, but just a day later i feel physical pain reading the shit people are writing here. But to not go full OT here: This petition completes 3 sentences and goes full into politics right after, but claiming "no politics in sports!" at...
  7. Do you apologize if your opponent misses a serve?

    I learned from a switzerland guy, who play in the netherlands, that it is a common thing over there to do that. Im not used to that either, but it didnt bother me much. Usually i dont miss my serves though^^
  8. Does doing pushups have any advantage on playing?

    I will try to make my point once more for the sake of education. I dont know either. Probably because i havnt said it that way. I said that pushups are not an effective exercise in developing a better body for TT. And i even explained that extensively. Sure you can, but saying that pushups...
  9. Does doing pushups have any advantage on playing?

    Not sure if i understand correctly. You experienced backpain and resolved it through pushups because it strengthens your body as a whole? If that is the case, why dont you simply strengthen the back itself directly? Pull ups/downs, rows, rearflys, back extensions and so on would resolve that...
  10. Does doing pushups have any advantage on playing?

    As a former fitnesscoach and as someone who started calisthenics during covid, i definitly know that pushups can be effective to a certain extent. I wouldnt say it is good for a strength focused programm, but you can definitly pack some muscles and stability with pushups and its variations. But...
  11. Does doing pushups have any advantage on playing?

    Yeah that may be a shot in which you have decent tricep involvment. But besides pushups being not an ideal excercise here to focus-training your triceps, the needed force is nothing you would gain from pushups. Even training the shot itself would be more beneficial than pushups. In your last...
  12. Does doing pushups have any advantage on playing?

    Pushups train mostly your chest and triceps. While both muscles do play a role in tt-movements, they are not that significant. For example the only movement in which you COULD really activate your chest, would be more forward motions like a topspin, volley, or flat forward hits. But then again...
  13. Review Yinhe Moon 12 Blue

    Well i did play 47 on my bh several times which shouldnt be so far away from 46 feelingwise. But dude, tenergy 05, fastarc g1, victas v15 extra, xiom vega pro and x... I played all of those, and the moon 12 felt completely different. And im not speaking only about the catapult and speed overall...
  14. Review Yinhe Moon 12 Blue

    That is interesting. It definitly feels softer than 46. More like 42 which is quite a step in between. I mean with every shot, i could feel the ball sink into the rubber which is usually not so present with the rubbers i normally use^^
  15. Review Yinhe Moon 12 Blue

    No just the M-Soft version. I would imagine you will just get a better high end speed but will probably trade some flick-control for it. Or maybe even control over all. Sadly i wont test anymore into that rubber, because i kinda grew out of it^^. Before the next season i will revisit H8-80...
  16. The best W968 Clones without the W968 price

    Still problematic to get your hands on those. Literally no shop in germany even knows about a pro version 🤦‍♂️
  17. This kid ghosts serve in match and wins point

    Hilarious but a dick move either way^^
  18. Life, Existence, and the Meaning of Long Pips - The Opus Maximus of James Z

    It is a mix of both. Yuan Licen have the habit of taking too long anyway, so he exaggerates against Lebrun because of the reasons you mentioned. Buuuuut for some reason Lebrun is definitly capable of checking if his opponent is ready, because he did it against every player he played in the...
  19. Li-Ning Retailer for Europe ?

    Ive used the Mizuno Wave Drive 8 for some months now and i am pretty disappointed. For 80€ the insole shouldnt be done already. On top the grip on most gymgrounds was not really good. I slipped way too often. The only good thing is, that the insole gives a good feeling and the shoe itself fit...
  20. Rakza Z vs Golden Tango PS vs Nittaku Sieger PK50

    Rakza Z has a way better arc, way more linear and predictable speed for the user. Better spin capabilities and just doesnt behave so weird as nextlevel already mentioned. Rakza Z is a way better rubber for bh, the only reason i went away from it, was their huge price increase, but it is still...
