You just have to play more, eventually you'll be able to generally guess where the ball is and "delay" your timing long enough for you to see it again. Basically footwork the heck out of it.
Also try to mess around with how you stand fron the table, certain angles make it easier to see the ball.
Unfortunately thats gonna be most venues unless you're in a big tournament venue. Table tennis clubs are in malls and malls use white walls. Plus light in the back makes it hard to see, they're also having trouble with it.
I also use eyeglasses with a high grade + astigmatism.
Even in schools...
In my experience, H8-20 is 3g lighter than H8-80 at the same hardness.
Your guys' H8-80's are quite heavy.
I weighed a 37 deg H8-20 at 67g with film on top and bottom.
While a 37 deg H8-80 was around 70g with film.
That is also right, 968-6 is overall more thick than 968. But 968-8 or 968-18 has a thicker core but thinner plies above the carbon. So it keeps the same thickness overall.
W968-8 is a thicker core w968 kind of like how HL5x is compared to HL5. It doesn't have koto outer.
Usually with other dhs athletes they're given an option to use a different rubber on backhand.
Boosted prov/national version works on the softer or lighter balls like yinhe h40+ (tried it).
But on the DJ40+, it's so weak and I dont want to try boosting 3 layers on a 39 deg to makeup for the weakness.
8-80 isnt fast enough 🥲
D09c has better feeling with or without boost.
C55 is faster than D09c, faster than 8-80.
Also three different sponge feelings,
Literally german, japanese, chinese sponge 🥴
I did not like the provincial H8-80 unless it's on an outer carbon or stiffer blade like the Provincial W968.
On the National w968 it's too slow and doesn't have much energy unless boosted.
I do for 42 deg neo
Boost >12 hr wait >Glue >Boost >24 hr wait
Glue>Boost>8 hr wait>Glue>Glue
For 41 neo
Boost > 24 hr wait > glue > boost > 24 hr wait > glue > glue
It usually only takes the same day for it to *break in*
You can tell the difference between all versions, I have tried HL5, Provincial w968, W968, Q968, W968 LJK player version (no.3). You can tell the difference.
I concur, the tactic change here is to realise that there is inherently less spin. Early time everything, even his push chop you can forward loop as long as you time it right.
