If one produces the same arc using two different rubbers, then the tangential velocity to normal velocity ratio at the point when the ball loses contact with the rubber surface will be the same for both rubbers. If the ratio was different, one wouldn't get the same arc. Basic artillery physics...

It is hard for me to disagree with you because you're are an experienced coach and a far more advanced player than I will ever be. Many beginners do find softer high throw rubbers easier to play with - that has also been my experience. At the same time, IMHO, not every beginner will find it...

It is the player that creates the arc, not the rubber. Learning how to "power loop" with either low/medium/high arc at will makes anyone a much better player.

And on top of that all, they did not achieve enough market penetration - there was just a single online shop in UK that sold Adidas stuff. TT11 also does not carry Adidas.

I've played for about a year with Viscaria + DHS Neo H3/Tibhar 5Q+ before switching to Calix 1 with the same rubbers at the beginning of this year. Generally, I agree with your review, perhaps with a couple of caveats. Both blades are excellent, with Viscaria being way more popular for obvious...

Looks like now is a great time to buy Adidas rubbers - teesport has just reduced the prices of all Tenzones and P7s to £29.99 and £26.99. http://www.teessport.com/rubbers-c6#m35 From a price/performance ratio, I don't know what else can beat the P7 deal.

This is just one of the shapes the liquid-metal PushBlocker 2000 - a radical redevelopment of the infamous T-1000 model - can take :-)

To be honest we have no idea whether lower or higher scores correspond to better performance on the test. So, it is very well possible that you are the fastest of them all :-) You're right, I am not that fast. Probably, that explains why I prefer to play slightly away from the table. IMHO, at...

I did go to TT11 for my H8 before doing the review for this site! It is just curious that the prices for this rubber vary so much. Tenergy/Bluefires/Rasants/Omegas/MX-P's/H3 are all pretty much same prices at all UK retailers, but this is something exceptional.

Just noticed that UK tt retailers have wildly varying prices for H8: Bribar: £29 Teesport: £46 !!! Makes one wonder if Teesport's price is the result of demand for H8 far exceeding their supply, or are they simply being greedy.

You're awesome! I was only 258/406 :-)

First, you need to familiarize yourself with Greg Lett's explanation of how LP work. This is an invaluable primer on demystifying LPs. http://www.gregsttpages.com/articles3/53-articles/long-pimples/87-long-pimples-for-beginners Second, each time your opponent push-blocks your previous underspin...

Well, you can enter in 2 bands - your current and the one above, don't you? Assuming 4 player groups, you'll end up playing 6 matches against decent opponents. Treat it as "free" coaching sessions - players of good standard showing weaknesses in your game. At least you'd know what to really work...

I had a knock with a Stiga Clipper WRB yesterday which has DHS Neo Hurricane 3 on FH and, drum roll, Mark V on BH. You know what, it was a very nice combo. Clipper has a very nice feel, and top end speed when needed. On a side note, Mark V had absolutely zero problems with the plastic ball...

Best tip for my fh development: "Learn to slow loop". Best tip for my bh development: "Your grip is too FH-oriented".

Yes, there is a lot. Just type "Werner Schlager" into youtube.

Ok. Typical scenario. "Old Harry/Fred/Jim" serves and does not toss the ball high (or vertically) enough. Or maybe they even, gosh, start the ball toss just below the table surface. There is no attempt at pre/post-serve disguise motions, no foot stomping, nada. The resulting serve is usually...

Haha. My teammates complained to me about you after the match :-) Speaking seriously, I get where you're coming from. You, me and everyone on this forum are super-passionate about TT, and care deeply about the game. However, a lot of amateur players (like many playing in the summer league) are...

IMHO, another big difference between ttd and mytt is that the ttd website is rock-solid and is always up and running, unlike, sadly, mytt, which is frequently down, like now.

Based on my personal experience with the above-mentioned TT forums, the most active/obnoxious trolls are no spring chickens, quite the opposite actually.
