So after 10+ hours of play, pretty happy with Nuzn 48 on my BH. As mentioned before, slightly faster and undeniably bouncier and less linear than G-1. Feels really like a 48 hardness. Very grippy and does not seem to degrade too quickly. When it comes to the arc, I feel Nuzn 48 behaves pretty...

I also use a different blade now. I played G1 on both Acoustic and Viscaria Super ALC.

Played with both. G-1 both sides then G-1 FH and C-1 BH. Nuzn 48 feels harder than G-1 imo. But that's after 2 sessions only. I'll update after more time with the rubber

BTW played for years with G-1 on BH. Nuzn 48 feels harder and stickier. More catapult, less linear... as expected.

To come back to the initial topic Trying this new setup: Andro Treiber Ci off Andro Nuzn 50 Andro Nuzn 48 Coming from a Fastarc C-1 (on a Viscaria Super Alc), after 2x 2hour training sessions, Nuzn 48 feels considerably harder. Great feeling in both active and passive blocking after I got...

I used to play when I was younger but was just a pretty average intermediate player tbh. I've been back playing TT for 3 years now, after a close to 30 years break. While I still struggle on many aspects of my game, and have been recently in a period of underperformance and frustration with my...

To be clear it was very difficult (at least for me!) to see the amount of spin in the serve, but you're totally right. The secound bounce was short on my table but with the kick it would certainly have ended as a long serve I could loop, instead of rushing to flick and getting caught by the kick.

League match is done and gone... 3 singles played, against a 1400 TTCAN, an unranked player who plays around 1800 and the last one 2000+. Did not manage to take a W, but I'm really happy about my performance all around. Took 1 set from the 1400, lost the 3rd 16-14 and ended losing in 4. It was...

OK thx. I'll pass then...

Now 3 practice sessions under the belt with the Acoustic / G1 setup. First 2 were really encouraging, last one a bit more shaky, especially in the short game. Did a one-setter against a 1700 TTCAN, tried to keep my pushes short as pushing long against him is a recipe for disaster, and I ended...

Hey everyone, anyone could assess the size of the flare handle? For context, I find the handle of my Super Viscaria a bit too small, while the one of my Acoustic SG is just perfect for my hand.

First practice session back to Acoustic and G1. OMG. For sure it feels slow now, especially in backhand. Slow and squishy ;-) but I already enjoyed it nonetheless, as I could feel how the greater control helps my confidence on openers. Acoustic handle feels better as well. Got a league match...

Not sure I feel super comfortable with the "older adult" wording as it sounds a bit like I'm already a geezer, but for sure I'm not a youngster anymore haha... i guess I still need to get used to being part of the older tt players! In my Thursday training sessions I play with much higher rated...

haha I would lie if I did not admit that I consider this option as well... we'll see! With my current lack of confidence, I feel more comfortable going back to something I enjoyed, even if it's a bit of a step back.

To sum up: I'll have a try going back to Acoustic with G1 while also continuing to work on my ability to focus on spin rather than power. It won't be magical, adapting back will be hard, but I'm ready to go this road. And if I have second thoughts, or if I feel I now have the time and mindset to...

Of course I fully understand your points. And I'm conscious that if I could put the right time and effort in mastering my current set-up, I would be able to get used to it and probably globally improve. The fact is that I put quite a lot of power in my shots and I'm used to generate my own power...

For sure I hit the ball too hard and I don't generate enough spin. The challenge I have is that I'm very conscious of it but struggle in actually changing. Age is not an excuse of course, but bad habits are often even harder to get rid of when you get older... So many times do I end with the...

Thanks for taking the time to post such an extensive and informative answer! I think what you say about not taking advantage of the strengths of the faster blade is exactly how I feel. I have no problem generating power and I play pretty close to the table. When I try to move away a bit, first...

I have a really good coach so that's a good first step! I certainly lack the ability to generate enough spin and safety on my top-spin shots, whatever the set-up I have trouble to generate good arc. Power/speed is not an issue, I can hit the ball hard. My successful top-spin shots are efficient...
