Definitely agree re: advice from an expert. What exercises have you been prescribed, if you don't mind my asking?

Thank you all for responding. I truly appreciate the time all of you took to respond. I have gone through all of them. The following has happened since I posted/been reading the answers: Some context: I recently entered my middle middle years. I eat okay, my weight is not an issue and even...

Reviving this thread as I am trying to figure out this problem myself. In the last couple of months, I have finally been able to feel my way into using more of my body versus my arm. Feeling my hip was a good sign but more recently, my knee has started feeling sore. I looked around, read a bit...

Is telson 100 hyper the same as Telson 100?

Ideally yes, but I am also wary of becoming of an EJ and changing too much. Rather adjust with main focus on training fundamentals. I am attracted to too many blades already lol.

I used to do that and I am not sure why I don't do that anymore. Currently, my receive movement is: 1. FH stance with left foot forward and right foot back 2. Forearm's length from the table (mostly get long serves at my level) 3. As the ball contact is made, I do a micro step with my right...

Played with the new setup (Persson Powerplay FH: H3Neo 39, BH: Vega Europe). BH felt very controlled as expected, especially with the BH serves. FH, on occasions I was overhitting but that was me just muscling the ball/poor technique. So while the blade will not fix technique magically, I did...

This is my weakest aspect. I mostly focus on focus, while being aware that a fast long serve might come. For no.3, I have not been able to train an eye/ear for this. Another skill to add to an already long list of weaknesses :')

Thank you! Yeah, I have to start training this; I am too stationary when receiving. One other part is also actually picking up the direction sooner so the feet (not racket) move first. +1 didn't know he has a new video! Eager to go through that.

I (RH player) have been having difficulty with receiving a left side/under, side-top serve that comes to my middle. It jams me using both my BH and FH and makes the return awkward The length is usually long/ sometimes half-long serves. Any tips on how to receive such serves?

Would love that blade but it's priced higher than the Long 5 lol will wait to see how the wood blade test goes

I have a very old Donic persson powerplay 7-ply; just stuck a H3N 39 on it. Do you think it'll work on that?

It's actually great on the BH. Very good blocking, good but not catapulty speed, and it forces me to improve my technique. E.g. I thought it was not very spinny but after hearing some contrary comments from some good players on this forum, I tried to improve my contact point and I am seeing...

Lol, as a recovering EJ, I know that is a slippery slope!

Heard that playing H3N without boosting is pretty difficult but this is definitely another option. I might try this next before the wood option as I would like to reduce any adjustment period.

I have been playing with Hurricane Long 5 for the last 6 months or so with boosted H3N OS 39 on FH and Telson 100 on BH. As a solid intermediate, I am fairly satisfied with my progress with the blade, I enjoy it and I do feel in control most of the time. My plan has been to grow with the blade...

I have similar issues for FH and have been trying to develop a more "contact" based stroke. I have been using Long 5 for about 6 months and am wondering if I should change to develop more feeling. Could you say what the biggest differences for you have been since you switched to a wood blade?

Is this https://www.ebay.com/itm/317626397716 similar to the j31 or is it a different product altogether?

I am pretty sure there is a skill factor involved lol...in a way that is heartening as hopefully the spin gets unlocked as I improve My BH is also more on the punchy/speedy side so I am clearly not optimizing my impact/brush (in fact, I know so). On the serve, I am beginning to see spin...

Hello everyone! A friend of mine is visiting China next month and I wanted to see if it would be worth for me to ask him to bring me some TT equipment (instead of ordering on Aliexpress). For example, I'd probably get H3Neo rubbers, a couple of Telson 100s and maybe a DHS or Butterfly bat (FZD...
