  1. recommend me a setup (upper intermediate)

    Hi guys, i'm a ~1.700 USATT two wing looper with longer strokes and body usage. strengths: open-ups, loop consistancy (low-med. power), serve recieve, touch weaknesses: blocking + counter-looping (high power), hitting too hard on FH previous setups: Grubba All+ --> TSPW + Baracuda --> Fastarc...
  2. ALC only above semi-pro? or also viable for Intermediates

    Hi guys, as a good student (xD) i followed the recommendation to avoid carbon in blades and sticked to my 5 ply allwood blade (TSPW). I am very safe in opening up rally's but kinda struggle currently at the counterlooping game. While i'm very consistant i currently lack that punshy power...
  3. Rubber for chinese loop technique

    Hi guys, sadly i'm currently on a massive EJ trip on my forehand side. The background is simple. During the last year i found a technique which works for me. It was opening up my racket angle more and also hitting a bit more upward than forward. It's like the chinese loop technique many people...
  4. How low/wide should the stance be?

    Hi guys, currently i try out some different Variation of low/high and wide/super wide stances. Most of the time i played a super wide and just minimally bended knees and overall balance forward. While this is great for topspin kind of strokes, for recieve and looping underspin it is more...
  5. soft topsheet + medium/m-hard sponge

    Hi guys, since i started to play TT (approx. 6 y ago) and trying out a lot of popular rubbers back then - i always sticked to hard topsheet rubbers, mostly Donic Baracuda and later on Fastarc G1/C1. Lately i put an old Rasanter R45 on my IF blade... and i really enjoyed the playing style it...
  6. Open Angle Loop

    Hi guys, i got catched via a great tutorial on youtube by the idea of opening up the racket angle while looping. I kinda feels like i can attack long balls with more consistency. So while the racket angle could stay open for backspin and topspin ball, it's still important to find the right...
  7. Fast blade needs fast rubbers?

    Hi guys, what do you think about the following theory. If the speed of a blade increases, it does "kick" into the sponge. Thus u have to play harder sponge. If this is true, can you estimate the effect between a 5ply, 7ply and 5+2 outer and inner carbon blades? For me i couldnt even max out a...
  8. Clipper like vs Inner Carbon

    Hi guys, skillwise i'm slightly above average (~1.500 points in Germany). Currently i like my Clipper like blade (Samsonov Black), because it's balanced all around and kinda stands out in the blocking department. But because i am mostly a two wing looper i ask myself if a 7 ply thinner blade...
