Not exactly budget though.

I have Big Dipper V on my forehand too, but my forehand is not good so I'm trying Mercury II now, if that doesn't work I might be tempted to try NUZN 48. I'm 54 and just started playing after 30 years and my forehand is not so good so I actually think I need some help from the rubber.

What about a single layer as the core? I have been contemplating such a blade.

Calculus is the way, I must say as a theologian.

For me as low end intermediate it's seems a way to hard for the backhand in hardness 39 (good for blocking though), and I think I need to brush more on the forehand. But I just started again after 30+ years and need to develop my forehand as I have mostly used my backhand back in the days. It...

I better just eat my words again then ;)

Table tennis palyers don't strike me as particulary fit, so I doubt that they have very strict diet. I actually wonder why they don't focus more on that part of the sport.

BG5 seems quite a lot faster than the 8.4 rating on Revspin suggests then.

An update on the Big Dipper V 39 rubbers (and YSE blade) I have trained 5 times now around 10 hours or so and I must say that I have the feeling that these rubbers are a bit to fast for my current level. I have troubles lifting backspin with my backhand and my forehand is rubbish ;) I think I...

An update from yesterdays training. I didn't do much methodical training exept for 5-10 minutes of forehand to forehand. It was obvious that the combo was a lot better in the forehand when stepping away from the table. But I did do a lot of backhand winners in the double matches that I played...

I just got a Yasaka Sweden Extra with Big Dipper V 39° on both sides delivered. It's here to replace a 35 years old Stiga Allround Evolution with Cobra Plus. I'll let you know how it goes at the training to night. Perhaps the backhand will need to be softer but I can allways get the 38° from...
