I definitely use the blade I'm training with. I'm not someone who can just switch around and instantly benefit from whatever advantages the new equipment has. Just the weight, thickness, and balance differences are enough to make me miss a lot of balls.

Thinner sponge results in lower throw.

I think with stiffer blades it's a bit more linear and direct and easier to play with smaller motions closer to the table. I've been trying something similar, though purposefully using equipment less designed for what I'm training. I used the 968 to train my BH, and now I'm sticking with the...

I'm pretty satisfied with my FH progress in training now, the arm angle thing was the last major fix I needed. Now some fine tuning will be ahead. First, I want to increase the rotation and weight transfer a bit. That means having my knees facing a bit more to the right during backswing, and...

Yeah I sand the carbon layer as well. With 80 grit sand paper everything sands super easily.

I think their weight distribution is about the same. Your friend's Vis being 1 gram lighter and the rubbers 4 grams heavier is probably why you feel the difference. To be a fair comparison your friend's rubbers need to be 4-5 grams lighter. I think anyone here would tell you that if you use...

I have something similar in the Butterfly Amicus. It's better for backspin training than topspin because topspin balls are just way too slow for an intermediate level player, and the sidespin it introduces in topspin shots is the opposite of what you'd typically encounter in real games and can...

Forgot to actually add the video, but here's the one I just watched:

He talked a lot about the stress he was under, how everything he did was under a microscope, all sorts of conspiracy theories like how he's not getting along with someone else or whatever. He tried to take his mind off of things by going to a concert (I think he's referring to the Taylor Swift...

Been really busy the past couple of weeks, only got to play in my weekly practice sessions and some very short sessions vs the robot mostly to try out some fine tuning of my technique. With that said, a recent video I watched has just solved my last remaining conundrum with my FH form! This is...

LYJ played really well against Sora too. I like the mic placement in these matches. Feels like in WTT matches I never hear a peep from LYJ, so it's interesting to hear him curse in Chinese lol.

Wow, good interview! It's interesting how the internet appeared to stress him out more than even the pressure.

Awesome, congrats man!

You hit the ball way too far away from your body. You need to let it come in more. I'd take it one step at a time and get that part done first.

No, it's not normal. I would return it and get an exchange.

He used T64 for many years and a harder version was never released though.

Uh, ZJK has said straight up that his Butterfly rubbers were a few degrees harder than commercial ones.

Right, so in front of the baseline, as opposed to behind it.

Why would you need to throw the ball backwards? Your body is in front of the baseline, your hand is not.

No, the ball is always behind you at contact when serving pendulum, so if you're serving near the baseline which he is, then you're gonna have to stand in front of the baseline. As such, standing in front the baseline is not evidence that the service is over the table.
