11:5 Kreanga

Nice post, very entertaining :). I've always valued the design of a blade and it plays a huge role in my decisionmaking which blade to buy/use. However I don't agree with butterfly being the best... I don't really like their design. I think Stiga actually has some very nice looking handles imo...

Spinny pips like 802-40 35 degree sponge or spectol with one of the victas Matsushita blades or donic defplay senso

Xiom Vega euro, donic baracuda, friendship focus 3

Wow I would never expect that Adam Hugh to be rated so high... Maybe if I watched more footage. But I'm not from USA so I can only compare to other USA rated players

1st - defender vs attacker 2100 vs 2100 2nd - young guy - 1900 Didn't look at the last video sorry

Tsp spectol hehe

Allround classic is slower than a defplay

Practice lots of multiball vs underspin. Tell your partner to receive to your backhand heavy under and mixed light/no spin and you loop everything to a fixed position. You need many repetitions to make it work in a real match consistently.

It's fine unless you plan to counterloop away from the table. I know a player around 2000 level that uses 4 years old cheap rubbers on joola off+ blade and all he plays is drives and blocks half a meter off the table.

7.5 m length is fine but the 2.6 m width might be a drawback. However it's still playable imo.

Coach in my club who's around 2200 uses a 50 degree BH rubber vs 45 degree fh rubber so I guess it works in some cases :P

Defensive style doesn't pay out.

Maybe green or turquoise? (I'd pick white over anything but probably won't be approved)

I always keep poker face when playing. This helps me stay calm and concentrated without giving mental advantage to the opponent when I lose a point.

What do you think he could do better in his forehand loop against backspin?

Thanks DukeGaGa, that's something I'll consider. My fh stroke is solid so that's not a problem for me.

I appreciate your comments and advice. I reckon my playing style should be close to table as coach always tells to not back off more than 3-4 feet but forehand counter feels really uncomfortable from that close. I think one can practice easy technique excercises with worse players as long as...

Thanks for the replies, I really appreciate. The 2200 rating is only a guess equivalent to the league I'd like to play in in the future. I don't live in the US. Also I actually get coaching but it's only about once a week or two. I expect the training partners to become better as I get better...
