One could add grip: Helix > Mantra/Platinum - difficult to compare Mantra and Platinum very different type of rubbers IMHO. I do not think Helix is slower than DNA Platinum. It could be that when a lot of spin is induced more momentum goes into the spin. However, I feel that the Helix gives...

Actually for me the Donic Waldner Offensive have the longest available handle. The anatomic for me to be perfect is to sand down the bottom part a bit that stands out like for concave. You are right that this part for some blades obstruct large/XL hands. The straight has not that limitation but...

Yasaka straight handles fits large hands - anyhow those I have tried (Goiabao, Yasaka Myth Extra Offensive both Falck) also Yasaka anatomic. If you have very broad hands it is advantageous to take down the wings by sanding. Another blade suitable for large hands is Donic Waldner Limited - both...

Hi - top layer is definitely not spruce. Spruce like pine have so-called two year rings and if cut along the grain of the blade as the top here is should be clearly observed. Also at the edge in this case bottom of the handle but also part of the side of the blade.

If you like your current setup but want something faster then a natural step would be the Waldner Ultra Senso Carbon is a natural next step. It is faster but not so much to make it an impossible step.It is also controlled and you can choose a handle that is very close to what you are used to if...

There is another factor not discussed here. This event is played in Europe and for this time there is an advantage to the Europeans in terms of time shift, home crowd etc. I think it is fair to have a change of scenery. JO Waldner said it was extremely if not impossible to win in China due to...

I have a few points: The information this thread is based upon is firstly no information it was questions to the coach. That there are negotiations between top athletes and the Swedish table Tennis Federation - such things takes place in most individual sports in Sweden. In fact this is a free...

Yes - interesting since Chinese normally are not allowed to post things outside of China - following Zeio logics this also says single Chinese should not have an opinion to post here - only country. Sorry remove all political discussions.

Hello - the question with a faster setup is if you can do the short play? Here the spin sensitivity and the total initial speed and when the carbon kicks in as important aspects. particularly when one is less used ti the setup. I am using a Donic Waldner Offensive )(not offensive by today's...

Hi, I have played Rakza 7, Rakza 7 soft and Mantra Pro M and H, Stiga DNA hybrid out of these the order of spin sensitivity is Hybrid M and H least spin sensitive, Mantra Pro M, Mantra ProH (depends on the speed of the ball slow balls H maybe better than M but in general M), Rakza 7 soft, Rakza...

Hello, I had really severe knee problems. After RMI it showed tears on meniscus. They were though very reluctant with surgery. I got in contact with a sports medicine therapist and got treatment - consisting of three times cortison injections into the knee combined with physiotherapy - main...

There is another thing - there is an opponent and the opponent might just have played better the longer the game went.

Hi - I started again playing table tennis a bit more than a year after a let's prolonged hiathus. Being Swedish I for sentimental reasons tested Waldner Offensive but also because the allround woods was to my liking too slow. The playing style of the Stone Age was when smashing with a flip...

Mantra Pro is less spin sensitive than Rakza 7/7 soft. MP in medium maybe more controllable than R7 - R7soft controllable but more spin sensitive than mantra Pro. G1 I have not used. All of these rubbers make many blades faster so maybe better to start with new rubber than with new rubber and...

I agree handshake is important but so is size. I have found that most flared really get locked in my hand, i.e. the ends imply get stuck. I can play with most straight I have tested. My preferred is though Donic Anatomic as done for the Waldner 2016 offensive but also the A from yasaka ML extra...

In other words give us s larger selection of handles since we are not all clones 😂
