  1. Backhand topspin/loop uncomfortable (locked elbow)

    Hi guys. After I got the hang out of forehand attacking I work on my backhand since some time. First when I was try out things by myself I noticed my loop/topspin is consistent and powerful if I lock up my elbow fully. I feel with locking up I get a more flatter bat-angle thus more topspin...
  2. Donic Baracuda/Big Slam vs. Tibhar Evo EL-S/FX-S

    Hi guys. Someday i tested some rubbers and get sticked to Baracuda, cuz open up any ball was so easy. Also I like the mediocre speed so I can put in my power. After testing G1 I want to go back. I feel like I can't play out the full potential of this hard rubber all the time. Now Baracuda is an...
  3. Hard rubber/blade only for pro's?

    Hi guys. First of I start playing TT since 3 years. I got a score of an average club player beeing around 1350 German points. Last time i got a wow effect. I took my TBAlc and played well but wasn't confident to play hard shots. Switching back to my 5ply limba blade i had to work more but my...
  4. Flexible blade hard rubbers, even for looper?

    Some ppl recommend hard rubber on flexible blade, even beyond 50°. I ve played flex blade with hard rubbers and sticked to medium rubbers cause it offers alot of safety. I am exactly average points wise and even much higher level is based on who's doing the mistake more than forcing/doing the...
  5. Baracuda vs. Fastarc C-1

    Hi guys. I did play Baracuda for one year on both sides before letting the EJ going on me. Now I go back to my old setup with All+ with Baracuda. Sadly my rubbers are wearn off. Now I played with the G-1 lately and liked it. Because the Fastarc line seemes to be more durable than other lines I...
  6. TB ALC vs ZLC

    Hey guys. I've been testing a TB ALC clone and like it. Sadly there is no cheap ZLC clone from China. What are the main differences playstyle-wise between both? How are the property between both? Thanks in advance.
  7. TB ALC vs IF ALC (Koto vs Limba)

    Hey guys. While I was constant with my EQ I decided that I need a change. Currently I am playing All+ Limba blade with fastarc g1 max on both sides. I also tried out YEO two sessions. The first one was quite disappointing because I felt like the quick release of the ball is more insecure for me...
  8. Hard European topspin rubber

    Hi guys. I started TT to play with forehand H3N, that's why I like hard rubbers. Because i dislike the tackyness I changed to baracuda then fastarc g-1. I wonder which could be the next step, my eyes are on mx-s. I like hard rubbers cause I have a long swing and like to hit hard on both sides...
  9. Galaxy V14 - composition

    Hey guys. I need your help. I need to know the composition of the above mentioned blade, especially the outer layer. Thank you in advance and greets.
  10. Thick light blades - what's the deal

    Hey guys. Surfing on a high end but quite unknown blade builder I see mostly thick (around 6.5 to 7.0) but quite light (around 75g - 80g) for All to Off blades. Now I wonder what's the benefit of these blades in compare to usual blades around 5.x and 8xg. I kinda like thin blades due to wrist...
  11. Upgrade Grubba to Xiom Off S vs. Andro Core Off vs. IF ALC (V-6)

    hey guys, last tournament i played against several 1600+ dudes. i was able to keep up with them and return a lot of balls, but in the end they killed me in the rally. i do play for 3 years and i can use the whole repertoire of push, drive loops, opening up loops and power loops. i would...
  12. Flexible outer layer (e.g. Limba, Spruce) manditory for Chinese technique?

    Hi guys I snap up Chinese technique (long swing) needs some flexible wood type as outer layer instead of smth stiff like Koto or wulnut. I wonder why pro's like fzd use Viscaria?
  13. Butterfly Innerforce series - whats the deal in compare to 5ply/7ply allwood blades?

    hey guys, with the release of Xiom's icecream blades attention has drawn to this topic. i'm curious about the IF series. while i do own several allwood limba blades: a slow 5 ply (Grubba), a fast 5 ply (Xiom Offensive S) and a 7 ply (Andro Core) i wonder which customer should instead buy these...
  14. spin (in-)sensitivity (esp. return)

    hi guys, i do not get the concept of throw, spinsensitivity and topsheet/sponge hardness. In my head there is more spin => higher throw => more spinsensitivity. And it's kinda true for my main rubber Donic Baracuda. I ask because i try to be a two-wing-looper. My signature shot is the...
  15. balance between active and passive play

    hey guys, mostly it's recommended to play active, e.g. looping seems to be much more important than blocking. this also transfer to equipment. the argument about too fast equipment is one of th most mentioned. the chinese philosophy states "power from the ground" with a slow blade and hard...
  16. Tibhar Genius (vs Donic Baracuda)

    hey guys, as already outed Baracuda fanboy they say the Tibhar is similar but due to a softer topsheet it's less sensitive to incoming spin with a bit of sacrifice in terms of spin and throw. also the Tibhar should be better in half-distance play but also strong near table. i would like to...
  17. Fastarc G-1 (vs. Baracuda)

    hey guys, i quite finished my EJ-testing ending with Baracuda on both sides. i like the flexibility the rubber gives. it was never more easy to attack a backspin ball, with a slow shot as well as with an aggressiv one. now i read about the fastarc g-1 beeing an upgraded version of the...
  18. 7-ply wood blades – Comparison

    hi guys, i own an Andro Core 7 Off+. I really like this blade. Sadly it's very unpopular. Now i want to rank it (e.g. speedwise) to others 7-ply and to more popular blades. There is an article in ttgearlab with a comparison between more popular 7-ply blades, but i kinda do not believe in the...
  19. Overriding incoming spin - setup

    Hi guys. I do have a very aggressive playstyle. Mostly I like to attack early balls: serves and 3rd ball. While this is working well, I'm thinking to improve this with the change of equipment. Right now I'm playing YEO with Baracada - really like it. The H3 is considered one of the best...
  20. lighter offensive setup

    hi guys, reaction time is important. thats why i consider a lighter setup. currently my ALL+ blade weights 83 g. with my both max sponge rubbers the total setup weight is about 175g. the lightest offensive blades i did found are Joola Air with the All+ blade is 60g. while iam a big fan of max...
