    Choooole, Alexis, hold on!
  4. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    I made this assumption based on how much his backhand game has improved. As far as I understand now, they don't train together, thanks to Tony for the information. So this is the result of the training system in Taiwan, which is great!
  5. WTT Singapore Smash 2025 (30 Jan ~ 9 Feb 2025)

    Training with Lin works for him.
  6. A light Chinese rubber with a little catapult and decent spin

    You can try the Kokutaku Blutenkirche Tokyo 868 with a blue sponge. It is very cheap, tenacious, has average stickiness, average or even below average speed and is quite light as for chinese rubber - my rubber in a cut form weighs only 46 grams. For its 5 dollars, it is better than Rxton 1 and...
  7. Alternative to Nittaku PK50 (and 8-80) ?

    For me too. I noticed this feature of Aliexpress, if you go without registration, the prices are much lower, also the prices are lower for new users. As far as I understand, this is such a trick to lure new buyers.
  8. Alternative to Nittaku PK50 (and 8-80) ?

    The cheapest one I could find for me was $15. Maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing, because Yasaka has a lot of rubber called Dragon.
  9. Alternative to Nittaku PK50 (and 8-80) ?

    It seems to me that according to your description, Rakza Z should suit you. It is also not fast, has a high throw and is very tenacious.
  10. Alternative to Nittaku PK50 (and 8-80) ?

    I also like the PK 50 and I'm sorry it was discontinued. For a fast blade this rubber works well. At the same time, Nittaku has released a new rubber Genextion V2C. Judging by the photos, the topsheet is very similar to the PK-50, but the sponge is clearly different. The fact that it is harder...
  11. How to minimize the time between second bounce and third bounce on the serve?

    You can practice leg exits the third ball after the serve, banana, forehand flick and attack from both sides without a partner, if you put a return board on the table. As a return board you can use regular MDF without any coatings, it works great. The only downside is the impossibility of...
  12. Sanwei 54 ALC - what wood is this?

    Apparently this blade asks for Hurricane 3 on the forehand
  13. W968 vs Viscaria

    Look at the blade from the end and at the location of the carbon reinforcement. If it is under the top layer of veneer, then it is rather a short-stroke blade. If the carbon reinforcement is inside, that is, under two layers of veneer, then it is rather a long-stroke blade. The thickness of the...
  14. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    If you bought this on Aliexpress, please send a link or the name of the store. Thanks in advance!
  15. Sanwei 54 ALC - what wood is this?

    The original limba is much lighter. Here the Butterfly processed the surface. We repaired such a blade and I had to try very hard to match the colors with the original.
  16. Post your latest EJ purchase

    In the good old days, when fast glue was allowed, my professional friends would re-glue Tenergy 05 to fast glue before each training session :oops: Sometimes after them we would get this rubber with a dead sponge but still quite a lively topsheet. At the amateur level, such rubber lasted for...
  17. Should I get Tenergy 05 or dignics 80 for jpen intermediate??

    My friend switched from Tenergy 05 on both sides to D80. He really likes it now, and is also pleased with the durability of D80 compared to Tenergy 05.
  18. Sanwei 54 ALC - what wood is this?

    This is limba
  19. W968 vs Viscaria

    There are two types of blades: long-stroke and short-stroke. The first type includes flexible all-wood blades and blades with internal carbon reinforcement - under two layers of veneer, for example Long 5. The second type includes rigid all-wood blades and blades with carbon reinforcement on...
