Not a diagnosis but a friend that plays guitar had that once https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_dystonia

Yes, finally :) Old match Dane vs Beast (Beast won) both have improved since then, Miikka too. TTRs of 2170 Beast vs 2136 (all time high) Miikka. Otto has won against Felix Kleeberg 2115 and https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazeem_Nosiru (TTR 2158 at that time) TomorrowTableTennis-Series...

Great stream and commentary!

Ever smelled an Evolution rubber? Compared that smell to some other ESN rubbers and a couple of boosters? And why do many ESN rubbers shrink?

@Zwill: I think I've answered that already ;) "If it gets some factory/non-factory boosting it could also be a really good BH rubber.". Maybe I should try it again as it is laying around for quite a long time (half a year or so boosted with one layer). One or two league matches to go before the...

Bicycle shop nearby? https://tiptop.dk/webshop/45-cement--lim/125-vulkaniserings-vaeske-25-g/ or https://tiptop.dk/webshop/45-cement--lim/126-vulkaniserings-vaeske-500-g/ Not the cheapest but available nearly everywhere. Contains lighter fluid/naphtha https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naphtha...

No hardwood, just dyed limba.

729 Z-1 and Yinhe Earth-3

TB ALC/TB Spirit and V14 Pro can be quite close. I found mine (87g) to be a bit slower, less reactive/explosive/sharp. https://ttgearlab.com/2024/03/15/performance-indices-db-outer-fiber-blades/ measured something similar. For $21 I would definitely buy one or two ;)

AK47 is nearly unbeatable for that price. Even the harder ~47° ESN AK47 red is very lightweight, plays also nicely (no question there are better rubbers out there but it plays very well) but I had issues with topsheet durability i.e. grip/oxidation. Dynaryz ACC has a 47.5° ESN sponge if I'm not...

Because the study is from 1994 when we had 38 mm celluloid balls and neither Hurricane 3 nor FastArc G-1. Now we have 40 mm plastic balls and a semi-tacky "sticky enough that the ball cannot slide" Hurricane 3 ;)

37° DHS/Shore A are around 47° ESN, 38° DHS around 49°

Also never had oxidation problems but the weights and sponge hardnesses differed too much. Lighter would have been OK (to match my H3 37) but not with a way softer sponge. Btw: The new GoldArc 9 uses the same #80 sponge according to DHS' 2024 catalogue...

According to BTY Japan it will be available from 1. April. Hefty price outside Japan... USD 104.99 for an all-wood blade... Falcima USD 73.99 (currently on sale for 64.74), Korbel Japan USD 68.99 (currently sold for $60.37) https://shop.butterflyonline.com/hadraw-5-1266...

https://li-ning.de/tischtennis/tischtennisschuhe/ https://lining-sport.eu/table-tennis/table-tennis-shoes/ (not all models available but maybe they can order them) Li-Ning has a store on AliExpress (this is where I got my Li-Ning shoes from) https://lining.de.aliexpress.com/store/2097003 but...

If you are in Tokyo you could probably visit TT-Japan https://www.takkyu.com/?page_id=10 / https://tt-japan.net/index.php?main_page=contact_us

Small correction: Falcima has a koto, koto, kiri, koto, koto structure. Someone in a German forum pointed that out and I took some pictures

For me this looks quite similar to the Falcima (6.0 mm thick, both have the same reaction and vibration values 10.9 and 9.7) Minion 5 https://www.butterfly.co.jp/products/detail/37291.html Falcima https://www.butterfly.co.jp/products/detail/37111.html Google translation for M5 "A pure wood...

Much cheaper: 729 Phoenix medium (around 43° ESN). Soft, tacky topsheet, very grippy. 729 Dragon L medium-soft: semi tacky, less grippy (than Phoenix) topsheet but faster (than Phoenix). 729 Dragon F medium-hard: tacky, grippy topsheet, sponge hardness a bit softer than a Vega Pro.
