  1. Recommendations for a beginner + few questions

    Then you are holding your racket too firm. Try to hit the ball where your opponent hits it and you are good to go usually. I still hold to my beliefs that you are doing it fundamentally wrong and no rubber will change that fact. If you had said that because its bouncy it goes a bit too high to...
  2. Recommendations for a beginner + few questions

    From what I have understood so far you struggle with understanding how to deal with short sidespin. It´s hard to tell without seeing you play but what I would suggest is, try to figure out what happens with the ball and WHY. No matter which setup you will use unless u go for LP you will struggle...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB18frYmxWU This is what I wanted to implement in my games. Because exactly like u said @SlowPower I saw that in a different video aswell with it should be just a tennisball wide. But in this video it looks also effortless and somewhat "right" When I look at...
  4. Flicking with Fastarc G1

    I have tried the C1 and also have the G1 on the Forehand. Let me tell you one thing. It´s not the rubber. All about the technique. You can´t do a flick if you are not putting effort into your stroke. Keep your elbow up and also if its side underspin for example go into the ball with your body...

    Can you verify that in reality after watching one of my videos that it is the case for my strokes? I saw a chinese coach talking about FH loop that the elbow must be a bit away from the body and when you loop you bring up your elbow aswell with the same racket angle on the entire stroke. I was...

    I couldn't Pinpoint exactly what the reason was, but when you just hold the racket closed, it would make a high vowel? sound and fall straight down, if that makes sense. I didn't really experience this with other blades. I can do these type of shots with my old blade and people kind of hate it...

    Tried out the C1 yesterday. I gotta say its a bit spinier but at the same time less control. Felt for me a bit more for advanced player. After that I could already make a decisin and bought: HL5 ST 90g RAKZA 7 BH 2.00 FASTARC G1 FH 2.00 Hoping to not get dissapointed :S My brothers blade...

    Yesterday I tried out the RAKZA 7 on my BH. It was very easy(controlled) to do active strokes on normal balls. Also quite good opening on long Backspin balls. Superb at flipping short balls (low arc controlled and spiny). When he was topspinning it was very hard to keep the ball on to the...

    For some reason my Brain confused the 7 with Z. They have a similiar shape I guess :D Ye ye I meant the 7 obviously. And when I meant Rakza Soft I also meant the 7 soft. Thanks for the correction!

    Today I had a trainingspartner who had both Rakza 7 2.00mm and C1 in 2.0mm (new just one time played). Tomorrow I will play with the Rakza Z and on Wednesday with the C1 on the Backhand and then decide which one I will go for. I really liked my gewo hype kr 47.5 1.9mm today on the backhand. Was...

    Dont people say backhand Rubber should be about 2° softer than FH? I think I will go with Rakza 7 or C1 on BH just need to look more into it what their weakness and strenghts are.

    I had the Mx-D as my FH rubber not as my Backhand Rubber so It doesnt make much sense to compare it to a Rakza Soft. I agree with @jk1980 it's quite hard to keep it short with MXD thats why I will go with G1 for my forehand and hope it will be better. As for the BH Rubber I still couldn't...
  13. Should I buy DHS Long 5

    So I assume its more bouncy than MX-D. That also means the ball has more dwelltime in the rubber before it gets out with more spin? Trying to figure out if its a bad thing for me to have such a rubber or not. My backhand rubber is a 47.5 hardness. Not sure how bouncy it is compared to those...
  14. Should I buy DHS Long 5

    I don't know how to answer this for myself. I also never played with Rakza 7 so I am unsure if it's gonna be too bouncy for me. I can try with it if it doesn't work out. I can still go back to the gewo 1.9mm. I also read good stuff about C1 and rakza soft. Kinda confused now.

    jk1980 That´s exactly how I see it aswell. I have beaten 2 players around 1550 Points 9 Months ago in a tournament. Went from 1200 to 1400 in a single day. But that was it. I had a good serve where they couldnt attack. Was a bit lucky that they did some unforced errors. Also I automatically...

    The Tabletennis shop recommended Rakza 7 2.0mm for my backhand
  17. Should I buy DHS Long 5

    And which Backhand rubber would fit the best for this blade and for my technique shown in the video? I had a Gewo Hype KR 1.9mm in this video, but played the entire season with a 2.1mm one on the diablo senso blade.

    Also please help me decide if I should get one with a flared or straight handle just in case It doesn´t have the same feeling and I have to sell which one is easier to do so? since I am a big dude 196cm I have big hands but so far I had no problems with the donic waldner diablo senso handles and...

    I am referring to the cheapest version. Ye I can get that one with a FL handle. I can also get it in my shop for 160€, but it has a ST handle and I can also choose the weight. This test long 5 Blade had a weight of 94g and is 8y old. What kind of weight should I decide for my newer one? What...

    Well I live in a place where Table tennis is not so popular. Its just that in some clubs the younger best players are somewhat the coaches. But even they just come to train. We dont really have a coaching system. I toughz myself watching youtube videos. Its already hard enough to get someone...
