Loki Rxton 9 37.5 — orange sponge, red topsheet Setup and testing I've played with the 2.1 mm version for six weeks, averaging about 12 hours a week, so roughly 70 hours in total. I've used it exclusively on backhand, on my W81 ADC, the normal version. All the other rubber tests I refer to...

Loki W81 ADC vs W81 Outer ALC — Comparative Review I've been comparing the Loki W81 ADC with the W81 Outer ALC. I own two physical samples of the ADC, and after testing them with different rubber setups, I've found myself preferring it overall. Both blades feel reasonably linear. The main...

Ave, I've started working out a bit. I want to document what effects adding certain things to my routine. Maybe it will be helpful to others. I traded 2 days of playing for 2 days of gym. So far it has given me better effects than actually playing. Before that I lost 27 kgs (132 Feb -> 105 Jul)...

Ave, me and @victormanriquey, maybe possibly @Tyce, are going to play at @victormanriquey club. The club is located in Gouda, Netherlands. https://maps.app.goo.gl/uP7cWWoSaioTQokj8 We are going to play there for about there for a session. Anyone is welcome to join and integrate. It's quite...

I found this interesting visualisation of Truls game.

We got coupons to purchase equipment from Joola. Codes are valid until 31.12.2026

New, unopened. W81 Arc 63€ (same price as I paid, ignoring the taxes). I will be more than happy to just get most of the money back. I can ship over EU. In October I am going to Amsterdam | Harlem. I can take it with me. I also have second used blade that will be a bit cheaper if someone wants it.

Ave, I have deja vu I already did start this thread once. Yesterday I was playing with new rubbers. Back to full tacky fest. And the issue with slippery over time has reared its ugly head. Any ways you combat this? I kept washing and drying my hands every couple of points. Has anyone tried...

The new batch of RXTON 9 has an orange sponge instead of a blue. The 39 has a similar texture to provincial Hurricane blue. (it has stripes that you feel under your finger. That laser engraving is also extremely similar. I swear I saw it somewhere.

Loki W81 Outer ALC — Review I've been playing with the Loki W81 Outer ALC for a relatively short time, so these are my first impressions rather than a definitive long-term review. The W81 comes in six different versions; this review is specifically about the Outer ALC. My blade weighs 88 g. The...

So... I've been thinking. Over the last year I destroyed / used up about 6 rubbers... The first sign is wear in the centre of the racket, and then the circle spreads, when the wear marks expand to about 1.5cm from the edge (like the pimples are now showing through the rubber in the area of about...

Per topic It 4-5hrs of work. Not much, but it plays balls. Does not have all the features, but I am a bit too lazy to do a full 1:1 today. I will open source it, but I am a bit dead today, and my creds setup for Github is messed up (I must have overwritten private key or something stupid like...

What happened to Joola Tronix rubbers? https://joola.de/de-eu/collections/professional-belage No longer lists ACC and ZGR :(

I will be attending Elixir Conf 2026 in Malaga. I will be there for a week. I would use some exercise. Someone wants to play some? I will be there April 21-27. I think I play on a decent level. I wouldn't call myself beginner, but I am not pro either. I do not mind being handed my ass to me, I...

Ave, recently I bought a rubber from Joola.de. I got some credits from the failed robot. I lost a fair bit of money on the robot, but I decided to use the "sorry gift card" to buy some rubbers. The rubber I got had a crack. I wrote an email. They did not ask many questions, just sent me new...

I recently started training with 3 of those. I again had a break from training due to work. This thing was amazing when re-learning the strokes again. The most important thing for me was the ability to immediately see if the stroke I made made the ball spin. It showed me that when I thought the...

I've been watching Chen Xingtong vs Chen Meng and majority exchanges were BH to BH. I wonder what is the strategy behind that. Due to the pace of the game there issue to redirect ball down the line?

Ave, looking for info which training ball to test (I will probably buy 3-4 packs of different ball and then buy like 140 balls). Writing mostly because I recently played with some random old gewo training balls and they were misserable.

I bought similar tool to what is used in this video. I don't want to share link, because I don't want this post to be treated as advertisement. I even made similar one from scrap, you can also go that way if you want. The tool on Ali costs 10-20$ so I think anyone can afford it. I've been doing...

A fellow player from my old middle school asked me for help to find new setup. The issue is extremely small budget. He played a bunch of my stuff and we settled on thin 7 ply. Sanwei Fextra at 100PLN is the main candidate.
