Since there is an endless number of blades with this structure—and natural variations within a single model can be huge (for example, differences in veneer density)—a good general rule is that the fastest blade will be the thickest and heaviest specimen you can find. In practice, that means...

I have over 20 years of experience building table tennis blades. In my opinion, blades have objective, measurable properties. Saying “I like one of my five blades more” describes a subjective experience, and that can have many reasons. However, it is very likely that those five blades also...

Where is the source to this?

The Synteliac VCI is basically a copy of the Butterfly Innerforce ALC. So Ovtcharov ALC is already the perfect replacement.

On the one hand, it is as simple as you say, but on the other hand, it absolutely is not. The discussion culture in forums, as I've subscribed it and to which "hypnotic" agreed, leads to the situation where hypnotic and other users do not share their valuable insights. Personally, I would be...

Unfortunately, it is almost always like that in table tennis forums. Credibility is often achieved by those who post the most frequently. This leads to a situation where the opinion of a few users becomes "common forum knowledge" simply because it has been posted so often, even if it is...

I am building blades for 20 years now and do/did a lot of restaurations for others. But what do hypnotic and I know about that... 😂

The method hipnotic described is very recommendable. I have done it a 100 times with amazing results. Never ever has a blade warped. I wonder from which experience are you talking? @Lazer

I have been building blades for over 17 years now, and I find it completely absurd to claim some kind of copyright on such a common construction.

I use the Xero HFS and ordered the new Xero Knit. I think they are great for table tennis. For some dampening I am using a thick foam insole from Joe Nimble.

@Draycott old man Is there any specific reason for using !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?

Oh, I see!! So only assumptions...

@langel I wonder where you have those numbers from? Assumptions? I was talking about information that was provided by Dr. Nicklas (founder of Donic and ESN, https://www.esn-tt.de/en/company/history). To me this guy looks like he might know what he is talking about. ;)

Who said 1ms+-1ms ???

When I wrote that there is scientific evidence, then I meant that there are scientists that actually measured the dwell time! They found that the dwell time is more or less constant at around 1/1000s. To me that means that dwell time varies in a magnitude of less than 1/1000 of a second. I...

There ist scientific evidence that the dwell time is quite constant at about a thousand of a second. This is so short that I highly doubt that anybody is able to recognize differences in the dwell time by playing with different rackets. For me the concept of dwell time therefore does not make...

In which aspect?

This is absolutely normal. My boll spirits have cores that are made of several pieces.

If you compare a 80 and a 90 g Viscaria (if both have the same blade thickness) then they do feel different in regards to the feedback. Some might prefer the feedback of the heavier one and others of the lighter one. This is a more subjective thing. An objective parameter that you should take...

This is Limba. 100%. You will not find a carbon / ALC blade that has a similar feeling then your blade (Tibhar Chila?) simply because it has a Limba top layer. It is always the whole blade composition that defines how a blade plays.
