  1. Jpen why take back handle cork off

    As I said in previous comments, it is much better, and many blades come this way. For example new Tibhar Jager: https://tibhar-japan.com/catalog/ (page 13)
  2. Who is currently the Highest-ranked JPEN player?

    IMHO main characteristic of jpen is with the big handle. Use to be more squared (but some are a bit rounded), and use to be grip with the fingers more extended. If people decide to put a rubber on the back, it is also jpen. Note some jpens blades are done for having rubber on the back like the...
  3. Doubts-should i go to jpen rpb or stick to one sided jpen.

    Watch this: It helped me a lot in doing the correct swing on jpen forehand topspin. And yes, it's nice to watch also Tsubasa.
  4. Barcelona TT Action Request

    Now the average level of the young people is much better than 10 years ago. But Spain is (and will continue being) a soccer-centered country.

  6. Nittaku Hurricane 8-80

    Can you compare with genextion or with g1? if you used them. I am having trouble pushing balls with genextion.
  7. Nittaku Hurricane 8-80

    Nobody tried them? I'm curious about the difference between the two versions. The weights. The durability on the AC technology (who know), ... The easiness to play on backhand and forehand, ...
  8. Which Shakehand 1-ply Kiso Hinoki blades are still made?

    The main problem with shakehand single-ply hinoki is that it must be very thick to avoid breaking. Also, a thick blade is slower to handle when switching from forehand to backhand and vice versa. Some also say that with a thick blade, topspin is more difficult (I disagree on this). I think this...
  9. Any recommendation for table tennis shoes for wide feet 2E?

    How do you know which asycs are for wide feet?
  10. Any recommendation for table tennis shoes for wide feet 2E?

    The angle is good! this shoes are very nice and durable. They are made by a badminton company, but they are made for table tennis. I'm talking about the Nittaku Moving Aero (they are done by Yonex)
  11. Jpen why take back handle cork off

    Hi Sandro, the 8 models of Xiom come without the back part. So this makes me think that on Korea this is pretty standard: https://m.xiom.global/category/penholder/187/ And Armstrong has Kase grip: https://armstrong.tokyo.jp/product_racket.html...
  12. Jpen why take back handle cork off

    Replying to myself and (I think) closing this debate, found this excellent video from Moriya Tsubasa: He starts cutting the back of the handle at 1:14. He says he highly recommends it. You can see how he points out that the grip is better. In the comments (in English) he replies to this...
  13. Jpen why take back handle cork off

    Today I tried it. I have not removed all the handle below cork, I just sanded 1/3 of the cork on the area where I press with the hand. I already had the cork a bit sanded since I bought this blade, but that cork was very black because I'm sure I have put lot of pressure there during the years...
  14. Jpen why take back handle cork off

    With the cork in the back of the handle, it seems the fingers on the back go from some high to the the contact with the tips. Without the cork in the back of the handle, it seems this inclination is lower. On these two videos you also can see he has something on the back of the fingers to have...
  15. Jpen why take back handle cork off

    Let me try to revive this thread. I have also heard that kim taek soo does the same. I never tried it. Can someone elaborate?
  16. FH rubber advice for a JPEN 1ply hinoki blade

    I am trying now Genextion with my 1 ply hinoki 9 mm. In my opinion for standard 1 ply 10 mm will be too fast. For 9 mm not sure yet if is too fast.
  17. Something a bit quicker than Fastarc G1?

    I am trying genextion and seems so good. A topspin machine.
  18. Help me to choose a Nittaku inverted rubber coming back from short pips

    Hello tzifos I know this rubber, I played with it after G1and before short pips. I played with it using a Rutis Revo J. It is a nice rubber to hit, quite spinny, easy, a bit similar to short pips. But as this rubber is not in the Nittaku catalogue anymore, I prefer to use a rubbers that will...
  19. Help me to choose a Nittaku inverted rubber coming back from short pips

    Today I've been trying a Genextion and a Z2 (both 2.0 and already used). I used two different blades: A) Multifunction MF-R (Hinoki 3 ply 8,5 mm, the racket I am playing since 2025) with Genextion. Really easy to topspin any backspin ball (but this is not very important to me). At the...
