I found that it's hard to beat the opponents with spin. You can generate great spin with it easily, but it wont force too many errors.
Will be at WDCTTC on Sunday from 12pm to maybe 7pm or so. Will try to play the league but may leave earlier.
I have to share guys..
Other than a great match, at 16:45 you can see a rally ended by around the net shot, nice one
Today I am uploading Sven Happek matches, full of great long lobbing rallies. Sven is expert for that, lol
Enjoy!
Went to the club today for my usual lesson on Saturdays. I have tried maybe about 10 to 15 different rubbers from shortpips, tensors and chinese tacky rubbers. This will be the first time i will bash a rubber for not delvering on there promises. Most table tennis marketing will exaggerate but they will tend to deliver 70 to 80% of there promise. Here below are the lies.... i mean there marketing.
"The New Joola Golden Tango is made in Germany, combining the advantages of tacky upper rubber, usual characteristic of chinese rubbers, with the enormous elasticity and speed of a Tensor sponge. The tacky surface offers maximum grip thus enabling loaded topspin and undercut strokes at the most extreme blade angles. ......Blah Blah Blah just too much BS
Here is why i decided to try out this rubber. One of the coaches and pro player in my club were trying the Joola Golden Tango, its one of the new German made ESN rubbers with a slightly tacky rubber. Against the advice of the coach to not to try this rubber because its too hard. The hardness is 54 degrees. He even told me Wang Liqin never used such a hard rubber and Wang Liqin was a physically strong player and tended to use hard rubbers. But the stupid EJer in me needed to try it out. So i ordered a piece from a asian online store. I have officially blown about 31 USD not including shipping charges. This rubber is rock hard and you have to be a superhuman to engage the sponge. You just cannot engage the rubber and sponge when you loop or loop drive. The ball would dive into the net when looping, because the rubber is so hard. So my coach who i was taking a lesson today with decided to try it and he did not like it at all. But he did figure out how this rubber can work. Instead of looping or loop driving, you have to do the opposite. You engage the ball by flat hitting the ball and then drive it over the net in one stroke motion. This rubber also supposed to have chinese characteristics and have a ample amount of spin. This rubber does not even come close in the spin dept. I could get more spin using one of those $5 chinese rubber brands. I would never recommend this rubber even to my worst enemy. Maybe i should just give this rubber to OSP to screw with him...LOL
On a happier note since i couldn't forehand loop in my lesson today due to the crappy rubber, i worked more on my bh banana flip. Its getting better but very slowly. And also i got a gift from one of the coaches, they gave me a piece of the Dianchi Type D(another chinese H3 neo clone) and has good reviews from the online community. Now i have two new rubbers to try next week. Dianchi or Tibhar K1 pro? Hmmmm.
