Sanding is good. Everyone is different. But I hate how it feels when the handle has sealer or anything that can make it more slippery. Anything that makes the wood not absorb the sweat is also something I personally don't like. But, some people like the feeling of a sealed handle...

Also, if you found a lighter Fang Bo blade, it probably would not have that feeling, those characteristics that you liked. If you found a clone that was lighter, it would have characteristics even farther from the feeling you liked. I would be willing to put money on it that, part of what you...

Is there a reason for you liking lighter blades? Like a wrist or elbow injury? Information: a lot of the top pros use blades between 88g-95g and more in the 90g-93g range: the reason, blades a little heavier have better feeling and feedback, are more solid and put more inertia behind the...

The good news here is that the damaged part of the rubber is nowhere near where you should be hitting the ball. So this should have zero impact on your play using that rubber. Ignore it. Unless you play in a league where they tell you you can't use that rubber, it makes no difference.

Don't get a racket that is preassembled. Get the blade and rubbers separately. Usually, if you buy from an actual TT seller they can put the rubbers on for you if you don't know how to do that. The rubbers are fine but they might not be what you want to choose. But that blade....it would...

And the studies I saw, that led me to the simplified statement....I am not sure if they were saying that electrolyte replacement would take too long to effect cramping during an event. But it sounded like the conclusions were that it is not entirely clear that the depletion of electrolytes were...

Yeah. I have seen a lot of research that suggest that. And then, a lot that suggests that no conclusions can be drawn. I would have to find the sources for what I said and I am lazy. But the best research on the subject I have seen is that there is no conclusive evidence that the electrolyte...

PS, if you ever get to a remotely decent level, even if you are using pips, YOU STILL NEED TO KNOW HOW TO READ THE SPIN. :)

And, if you don't try to watch the ball closely to see if you can start figuring things out, it won't happen. :)

The posts from NDH, NextLevel and JJ Ng are excellent information. Feel free to read them many times. It is worth noting that you are not really playing TT all that long. There are some simple keys to reading spin. It is not as complicated as we make it, while receiving serves. Our...

BTW: I am not against the placebo effect and I am not against using something that works for you no matter how it works. But the story that muscle cramps are the result of electrolyte (mineral) depletion (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and manganese), scientific studies show those are...

My understanding of muscle cramps is, the biggest factor is the amount of rest your body does or does not have. When you are seriously tired, muscles cramp up. But whatever works for you to make them go away when they appear is good. Even if it is based on Old Der_Ecte tales. :)

Yep. NextLevel said everything I thought needed to be said. But since you want clarification: When a slower blade makes sense is when a person does not have the skill, technique and control of contact (contact angle, depth, how to grab the ball, how to spin the ball) to do all the shots well...

Something to note with the ability to get the ball to land closer to the net is that it also means you can safely go for bigger angles on your shots. The closer your shots land towards the end line, the less you can angle them to the side. The closer they land to the net, the bigger the angle...

I do think you have a point with this especially for someone at the level of the OP. And you have given a good idea of who would benefit from slowing their equipment down. So....what NextLevel has said above is worth understanding for the OP and for people trying to give advice to the OP.

I got these from google translate for the people complaining that this is not English: untuk saya = for me. Every day he is busy with AK47. He's like an AK47. Does he have rubber that isn't an Ak 47 that he likes or not? ==== Sure, it is easy for anybody to do that. But since this is an...

Unless you are playing for a very long time and have really good technique, or you are getting old and know you will never have the body mechanics to allow good technique because of mobility issues that start to occur with age, then usually, the pace on the ball has much more to do with your...

So many people will give you so many opinions. The rubber you use is less important than that they grip the ball. Less expensive Chinese rubbers....many people like them. More expensive stuff like Tenergy and Dignics, many people like them. But every major TT company has many rubbers that...

If your rubbers are not grabbing the ball, if they are old enough to be worn to the point where the topsheet is no longer very grippy, any new rubbers will be good. If you take a ball and press it gently into the topsheet and try to slide the ball across the rubber, if it slides, you need new...

What is your reason for wanting to change? What are you not getting from AK47 Yellow? Any chance you can post footage? When your technique is solid and you know how to get the ball to sink into the rubber/sponge so that the topsheet really grabs the ball while you are contacting...
