Mines got a letter and the "batch number" afterwards something 130 or so quite high. Also only on one side. This definetly looks like a different Long 5. Mine is from 2021 or so.

I think because on those shots I don't engage the rubber well the ball becomes very unpredictable. It could be because I have new D09c sheets and gets better over time or as you said that the H3 is better for those kind of balls idk never played with a H3. Just seems very exhausting to boost...

the 400$ on Prott is considered the Provincial 968 or what? For me it's not about close or far away from the table per se. It's about what kind of ball I am receiving. So for example if I get a normal block ball back that has some energy I got no problems even if its shorter. But if I get a...

Alright 2nd training session with my brother this time. Did a lot of opening up (against half long/long backspin pushes) and then follow up loops. 1-1-1 entire Table loops. Loop after backspin serve (he pushes long anywhere I have to loop). Same with multiball... What I noticed: I have lots of...

My long 5 seems before 2022 so the "old" one. But I can say for sure this is not w968. As Tyce said already it has no print on the face. But then again I don't remember that print on my long 5 either lol. Did it come with a red card with the blades details?

Don't focus too much on staying low again focus on the 2 points I said. Doesn't matter if your stance is low and you can loop long backspin balls if you can't even read (or you can read the spin but don't know how to return) First you need to gain the ability to stay in the rally. At your...

Interesting game for sure. My observation: Serve return: You don't see what kind of spin his serve has. You should atleast know the sidespin and compensate for that instead of hitting the ball at the back. You have to hit the ball more from the side or just ignore and loop it forwards. Holding...

how about you try it out and tell us?

anyone here that went there?

how is traveling to places such as Taiwan if you only speak english a little bit?

Alright first training session over. ~2,5h. My first impression (reminder the Rubbers play a bit different after a few training session since they are fresh): I could control the blade could topspin safely from the start. Didn't need any adjustment time. Driving the ball feels easier compared...

Yeah will do. I could actually feel the bumps when I drifted my finger over the rubber. Also is this some Chinese special d09c rubbers? There is also nothing engraved on the blade.

Both Setups weight exactly 195g lol. Also herr my long5 in comparison rubbers been used for 3months exactly. Not a single bump or anything glued it smoothly.

Here it still seems to be the same. Do i reglue?

Thats why I like gluing myself. I know which glue is used how many sheets, how evenly distributed, how long till you fix the rubber... I also suck at removing the previous glue from the rubber since the rubber is also new... When I get home I will have a look at it again. I had put some books...

yeah especially Stevo had no problems blocking my topspins with his backhand. But then again these opponents are veterans. They all tend to have a really good block but weak attack or any other passive shot ability. They only have the block basically. What also stands out is that if I loop very...

if anyone has specific question they would like to know about the blade/setup. Feel free to ask me but be specific. I can then give my opinion and try my best to answer. I also consider filming myself to see if I somewhat change my technique subconsiously to adjust to the setup but not quite...

Yeah I think you are right I give up the table too fast too quick especially my FH side. With my backhand I can just take it later with my stance and position but the entire halflongish FH side is not loopable in that position without having to move first (usually I am too late to recognize / or...

so if it is >2022 its new? need to check I think mine is the old one. Not at home atm

I wouldn´t have minded if thats the only thing. Its just that whoever did it didnt cut in one single line. He cut it with the scissors started again cut stop cut stop. So you can see the sciczor line basically. Which is lowkey not that important I put an edge tape over anyway. What bothers me...
