Do you recommend boosting H3 Neo (I have the commercial 39 OS to try out) when trying the same time? I am transitioning from Big Dipper 39

So I have been playing with the Big Dipper 39 (unboosted) for 6 months. Feel comfortable with it but the plan to use BD was always to transition toward Hurricane Neo 3. I am planning on putting on H3N OS 39 (unboosted) for the first time (have tried H3N on people's blades and loved its...

Does this roughly mean (assuming both are boosted or unboosted) the following: Spin: H3 > LAC Speed: LAC > H3

Great job! Definitely saw the improvement in quality and speed of the stroke. I am on the same journey and attempting to add more quality to my shots too. I didn't think your FH follow through was initially all that bad though it improved at the end too. IMO the improvement came from...

This has been my general intuition as well; keeping the racket relatively open vs varying degrees of backspin + relatively closed racket vs varying degrees of topspin. Can you explain clock analogy on contact? Is the 2 o'clock for example, in the upper right quadrant of the ball if we are...

I was playing TT recently and the match, a higher level player told me that I switch racket angles for underspin and topspin when FH looping. He explained that was an older way of playing (when the ball was smaller) and that more recently, its important to keep my racket angle constant...

Hello, I am looking to buy a hurricane long 5 with a weight of 88 grams or less. Would prefer seller to be based in US and using Paypal. Would also consider a HL5 light as well.

I was watching this rather fantastic video on serve receive which gives some fantastic theory on returning serves. This is how I understood it 1. you want to hit the same side of the ball as the opponent does when they serve. I like to simplify this for myself and think if the ball is spinning...

How would you compare the HK AcB vs Long 5? It sounds like AcB is more balanced and is better on the BH though HL5 might slightly edge it on the FH.

This makes a lot of sense to me and I agree with a 100% with you; on an individual basis, age does not gate performance. There are plenty of examples of this across multiple team and solo sports. Using age of an high level individual to gauge the quality of the league is without nuance, is what...

As someone who would like to see the sport grow in popularity, I like your idea of having table tennis (a) gain a foothold in the college/school system and (b) multi-pronged PR drive, e.g. long-term spin-off arrangements with sports franchises. I am interested in hearing more about your hope...

Haha, if I could pull those moves, I promise I would move like that everywhere: Grocery story? We movin'. Train? We movin' on the train. Doctor's? We dancin into the office.

Haha, I know the feeling! I have often said the same thing "bottling the feeling up" for use on demand. For me, I it is a muscle-memory issue and I am trying to do it so often that it just becomes automatic. The video was very coincidental as this week, I was focusing on watching the ball onto...

Saw this video the other day about the "quiet eye", ; about how elite athletes have a superior ability to focus on specifically important contexts in their sport. Watching this made me wonder what the "quiet eye" of table tennis would be. If I had to guess, it would be the focused ability to...

Unfortunately, the lowest weight they have is 91 g

Bump

This is almost the same setup I have; J3 asia on FH on Yinhe Pro 01 with Palio AK47 Blue on the BH. I have been playing with it for a month and a half now and it has overtaken my inner F3 Pro with BD FH + Moon 12 Medium BH; so I have a very similar experience to you. Very controllable , and...

@Jslick89 Love the drills! Thanks so much! Going in a couple of days so excited to try these out!

Can personally vouch, these really help me as an advanced beginner/intermediate player. I keep coming back every few months and go ahh, now I understand! :D

@Jslick89 I am going to get to use the Omni at a friend's place soon. Pretty sure they don't have any custom drills programmed. Is there any way to program drills on the app before I go to my friend's? Do you know of any videos or tips to program (in like 15-30 minutes) a few basic drills...
