I think Aruna won the game 11-3 :D

Is this the synopsis on the movie called "The Revenant" ? :D

Viscaria have been back into butterfly EU catalogues for many years now. In fact it is now almost the best deal you can find since TB-alc, Matsudaira alc and ZJK alc are more exensivve than the €129 viscaria. Only the TBS is less expensive and remain the most affordable "viscaria-like" from...

That doesn't mean it doesn't matter to him !! When he was sponsored by Nittaku after the glue ban he switched from his Rutis to butterfly viscaria-like blades (TBS, TBalc)......showing that no Nittaku blade was "enough ok" for him at this time. To me it is showing that he is quite selective even...

From my experience (I own two of both blades, both MJ zlc are with the old design), the Mizutani ZLC is more bouncy than the sZLC and provides a bit more feedback. MJ sZLC's are heavier also (92+gr usually, even if I got one at 90gr).

I see no reason to chose anything other than the "1) Another Armstrong 322" for a backup blade. What is the advantage of having a different blade as a backup ? None. Disavantages ? Plenty but the more important one is : you have no backup blade, you just have a "new blade", not a "backup...

He lost many points in the latest Sweden Open because of his serves being illegal. You can watch his match which got him out of the open against Allegro Martin (WR 206).

@Reaper : Par Gerell was bullied because of his serves by the referee when he lost to Allegro Martin (wr 206) in the sweden open 2016.....I still remember Shibaev also getting bullied the same way against Gauzy at the last ETTC. I may be wrong but I see more and more illegal serves being...

Just to help everyone, here a short video of Liu Guoliang against Pär Gerell serves :

I have ordered many times from ttex.se TurboZ, they never canceled my orders so far.

Ordered a spare Donic Waldner Limited edition..... Ok I lied, I also ordered a Yasaka Sweden Classic, wanted to try this 5 ply allwood blade since 2015, impossible to find again my Old Yasaka Gatien Extra.....I really wonder where I lost this blade.

I'll try my luck : 4 It would already be amazing performance.

Basically any blade will pair well with T05. What is difficult to understand is that, for budget reasons, you pass from TB alc to allwood off- blades. The question is not if T05 will pair well with Stratus powerwood or Primorac off- : it obviously will pair well. The question is : what to you...

Not satisfied with the Baracuda ?

Why would you say that TT needs "hardware innovations" ? I mean, just watch table tennis in 80's, in 90's, in 2000's......the game is evolving A LOT, far more than most of other sports.

Ma Lin was finalist in 99 wttc, beating Waldner in semis. Wang Liqin is the one who has beaten Jurgen Person in 99 wttc. Here is a match between Wang Liqin and Liu Guoliang in China Open 2000 : Wang Liqin was already "miles above" Guoliang, and already the best player in the world in fact.

I think your issue with the Stiga Evo don't come from head size.........it's just that Stiga blades don't have a "smooth finish" like Butterfly ones.....angles are sharp and uncomfortable, you need to play ALOT with a Stiga blade to let your hand smooth the handle and the angles.

AS long as China will continue to consistently train players like Wang Liqin, Ma Lin, Wang Hao, Ma Long, Zhang Jike, Xu Xin, Fan Zhendong......no they won't be beaten in any team event, unless the head coach in CNT made huge mistakes by selecting the wrong players (like it was the case in 2000...

It's so nice to have Aruna Quadri in our French League (pro A). I haven't tested the Aruna Off, but the blade looks pretty similar to the Joola Rossi Emotion, a premium blade for at very attractive price tag.

Hasn't Samsonov always played with a tibhar blade (or for at least the last 10 years ) ? He uses grips, maybe thats why its not specified in the opening post.
