For the exact price, you're looking at that Hexer/Acuda generation. But 5 more euros and you can already try Bluegrip C1/C2 which you might enjoy as being between H3 and tensor properties. Or another 10 euros and you've opened up the world and can get V15 sticky/soft, dynayrz ZGR, hybrid K3...

If he's playing from mid distance, why would he voluntarily lower the core wood by 0.3mm? The VCI already doesn't have an exaggerated catapult effect unlike W968.

The appeal of H3 is also partially its downfall. Yes when opportunities come or when you're in perfect position (or in practice), then a correct stroke is well rewarded by H3. But often in matches, out of position shots or rallies, you're punished by the imprecise mechanics. Anyway, Rakza 7 is...

I am playing inner carbon, I have been for the last maybe 4 odd years, and have made several attempts to change to outer unsuccessfully. Now I'm also attempting the 'faster inner' type, and the 'harder top ply' routes. One thing not mentioned by anyone yet is how inner carbon gets slower over...

I "accidentally" bought a Koki Niwa 10th anniversary and a w968-5. Guess I'll be rationing meals for a while 😂

I reckon it's like the inner vs outer carbon preference too. If you prefer fast and borrow power, outer carbon with this RS would suit you well. If you like to control and play 3rd ball with spin, then DJ is more your jam.

K3 is already a bit soft. If you want to boost, maybe get the K3pro to start.

Well, why don't you try them out and see for yourself? This is a good example of why subjective things in table tennis (like reviews) are so difficult.

I feel the RS ball plays like the seamless. Slow and no spin.

Maybe he discovered that DHS sponsorship gives 10 commercial blades which is not equivalent to one W968 😅

The inner carbon version is expected to come out in June. And the gold tag is before that.

Rotela is inner carbon, with limba top ply, Ayous middle ply. So it has 0/3 things the same.

Yes, the thermal plastic type.

Stories like this make me so angry at the companies that don't warn people. Honestly it's disgusting. But yeah, DHS and Stiga are known for this. Do NOT seal your blade. It will change the feeling. What you need to do is sand it. Go from low grit to high grit. Once it's all smooth, I like...

Light racket is good for acceleration, ie more spin on quick movements like serving. Because rackets are better for everything else. @oophyte I think most people that have a decent loop would be able to. I adjust my setup 5 g at a time.

Just received my sample racket. Very keen to give it a full practice session and match play before giving feedback for the final racket. The build quality is truly amazing. EVEN more finished than the regular Rotela (which I ended up getting two copies of due to a mix up).

The 802-40 stands for 40mm ball when we went from 38 to 40 in celluloid.

There is a precedent of short pip FH players boosting their rubber, particularly if penhold, however like Tony, I don't think you should boost a soft rubber, you'll be hitting the blade too often.

This blog keeps track of pro's equipment. I've linked it to the Japanese women's pips. https://yarilog.com/equipment-japan-women/#toc4

For sure, there were so many things I didn't know I was even doing wrong until my current coach watched my strokes. I'll do my best for some pointers: -Stay balanced. A well placed slower loop is significantly better than a fast one played at the expense of balance. -Slow down! You have a...
