It's mostly just a feel thing. You can make a racket of any speed with any combination of materials. I've been playing since the mid 90's and my first real racket had synthetic fibers, so now any time I hit with an all-wood blade it just feels like too much vibration, particularly when I'm...

I don't know where you got that measurement. From what I remember, KLH-Special was a mid to low 6.x mm 3+2. That would make Garaydia ALC much faster. I would expect Garaydia ALC to be very similar to Primorac Carbon, just a little softer and slower. KLH-Special is an entire step down in...

I think he was best in his late teens. Then something happened...I think it is the coaching staff of the national team. I think they wanted to adjust his play style to dial back on the aggression slightly and achieve more stability, which has worked out well results-wise, but at a little cost...

This is a recent evolution of table tennis being pushed by the coaching staff in China. The hard backspin push and other types of placement shots were more common in the last decade a before, but now the newest generation of players are utilizing this flick as a way to take initiative as Beeray...

Congrats stealthassassin

Its really just a matter of what you are used to. My first racket was a Butterfly Keyshot and it was one of the first non-carbon composite blades made. Once you become accustomed to the increased damping of a composite, an all wood blade will always feel extremely high in vibration on hard...

Timo Boll, extra words to meet 10 char min.

This video made me shed a tear...................for the days of heavily speed glued Bryce!!!!!!!!!

I feel like if your BH and FH are on a certain level already, the transition will be pretty natural. I wouldn't make it a main point to focus on the transition itself. If you are getting thrown around easily by your opponent blocking your loops to places you have a hard time continuing to...

Maybe more advanced players don't complain because they can return your serves after watching the behavior of the ball after you serve. It doesn't really mean you're not hiding the ball. I've never seen your serve so I wouldn't know, but I wouldn't just assume the reason people are complaining...

Whenever I block for others on their forehand looping warmups, it is always pretty clear how much more powerful the Tenergy balls are, but I have to admit I've never blocked against the newest tensors. I've found that its not really that accurate for the user to determine the power, its only...

I know the Pro versions are still DHS #20 sponge. I know the H2 Pro and it is slower and less spinny than the old normal H2 commercial. However, the quality was quite good and its from the old speed gluing days. I suspect with speed glue these would be very powerful but since its not allowed...

ST...FL handles dig into the base of my wrist when I serve or prepare to loop.

Thanks, this is great info.

I've used blades with each of these outer plies, and from my experience, limba is well balanced. Not too hard or soft so it transmits the vibration to the core and onwards to your hand in a natural way. My original Keyshot and Mizutani had limba outers and they both had good feeling and...

If that s a new dotec handle that is just a regular ST with cork, could be very interesting. As for Tenergy 80, I hope it pushes forward the power envelope beyond Tenergy. Tenergy's are still only about 70% performance of my old glued Viscaria+Bryce and if the new rubber can get us closer to...

My view is, the rule states that the rubber cannot be modified post production, so thats what people should do. The rule doesn't say, "you can modify as long as you can avoid being detected". It really says something about the people who do it, about their willingness to bend the rules and the...

You may need to change your setup but I would give it a few more months. There is always a period of adjustment when you have new equipment, so maybe you will get used to it and be just fine, but you will not know after only playing it for the first time. If after 1 or 2 months you have no...

They certainly have the ability to...plus the interviews leading up to it make them seem very focused and taking this seriously because it will have ramifications within developing a new order within the team. Will they actually sweep? I'm fairly split on that possibility...but I hope...

short shorts?
