Those foam cleaners are a waste of money. Just use water on a sponge or on your hand. You would want to cover the rubber with a plastic film protector after the topsheet is dry.

Trust Gozo. His level is about the same as yours and he plays shakehand with those one ply Hinoki blades. He knows exactly what you would want. :) Question: do you want a One Ply Hinoki blade or a multiply Hinoki blade like the Darker 7p-2a.7t? A 7 ply Hinoki blade like the 7p-2a.7t will be...

Or, it could be activity. If he didn't post, but liked and got reset, then activity in the current month may be what resets. Or, as you said, it could just be logging in.

Yeah. I just did it so it was documented that all of the first 8 on the list are members whose numbers did not get a reset. Your number is accurate. What it looks like it may be, people who do not post at all, their numbers don't reset and it shows the number of posts in their last month of...

Yep. I will check tomorrow. But at this point, most of the world (if not all) has arrived at May 1st. I doubt anyone has made 122 or even 50 posts in this first day of May. Even the number 26 is quite unlikely. So, probably this feature is still not working properly. For instance: 1)...

Yep. It is interesting that the Michael Zhuang profile, which has not posted since January, is listed as having 50 posts in May.

As I said, it may be annoying. But the term spam refers to something different than what he is doing. Is one worse than the other? It depends on the version of spam and/or how much James Z (SJan) is getting under your skin. But I would just ignore him if you don't like what he has to say...

Spam Definition: James Z's messages may be annoying. They may be repetitive, but they are not sent in bulk and it is not a real or fake sales pitch. His comments almost entirely revolve around the equipment people use, are allowed to use and how he hates the ITTF for rules about equipment...

I am not sure you are getting what I said. To do a banana (chiquita) you have to turn your wrist and pronate your forearm so that the blade face points straight down towards the table and is fully CLOSED. To do that you have to hold the blade face with the index finger and thumb, with the...

You actually have to watch the arc and bounce of the ball. Backspin has a flatter trajectory. Topspin has more arc. Even when someone is good at making the arc of the ball look similar, if you are really watching the ball, you can see top vs backspin. Maybe you think about it as practice...

If it does not have a link to something and nothing is being sold, how can it be spam? If it is annoying, then the person who has had over 70 complaints about him in the past few weeks complaining about someone else seems a bit comical to me. :)

To be honest, he said he did not care a handful of times while sending me a message that sort of indicated something else. :)

I actually just don't know how you would hold a 10.5mm blade for the shot if you were even trying. But....if you can't loop, there is little chance you could loop a ball over the table where you can't drop the racket below the height of the table. But hey, if holding a racket that has a...

Hey Lodro, James Z has complained that you are spamming and trolling him with comments like this. He seemed to be a bit upset. I just wanted to let you know.

Usually people learn to BH loop backspin with decent accuracy before they can do an over-the-table BH loop (Chiquita). There is a reason NL wanted to see that skill. If you work on it and get it solid, your skills will jump a lot higher and it will help improve your return of serve and short game.

One thing to know about Butterfly: they do not let authorized sellers put their blades on sale like that. They do not let sellers from one region sell out of their region. And the prices are set within regions. So, if this seller is selling Butterfly products at that much of a discount, he is...

Yep. And the blades I tried, that he made for my friend, they were three of the best blades I have tried. The guy he made them for had a Stiga Clipper from 1990 or 1991, and an Avalox P700 from about the same time. Those blades felt amazing. The three blades from Charlie felt just as good...

You should look into Blades By Charlie: https://www.bladesbycharlie.com/home I got a chance to try several blades that he made for a friend of mine several years ago. The construction of the blades was pretty unique. And all the blades I got to try, I have to say, felt pretty darn amazing...

I see some good advice and some not so good advice on this thread. The rubbers you are considering are good. The Sweden Extra would be a good choice. If you wanted something a little faster but still not too fast, you might think about one of these blades: 1) Xiom Offensive S 2)...

You may not be considering how bad the rubbers on that premade setup are. :) Or, what a super cheapo "carbon" blade that is made for recreational play actually is. A carbon blade can be slow.
