Hi I am Lazer

I used to play in the mid 70's in Spårvägen Stockholm Sweden.
I quit playing I think in 75. I have played sporadically upto today.

About a year ago the company where I work bought a table and
I started to play again. I noticed I still had it.

Back in '97 I left an employment in L.A Calilfornia and went back
to Sweden. My TT buddies scrambled a litte bit of money and got me
a Primorac carbon Blade as a go away gift. It's been sitting idle until
a year ago. Let me tell You to get rubber for it was a jungle. Back
in those days it was alll about Mark V and (Super) Sriver. Anything
else was hard to get a hold of.

I am still looking, but I am now using Raksa 7 Soft 2mm, thats the
best I have found so far. Regular Rakza is a tad too fast on this Blade
and I loose too much control. I'm not done looking yet well see where it leads

Cheers

I know, but this one was naked and not in use for 20+ years. Something must happen to the wood, I would say it’s getting dryer. I don’t know what that does to the speed.

I can tell you it doesn’t feel super fast. I played with a Yasaka silver 9 with 2mm Rakza X once. That one felt faster then my primorac with Rakza 7 (standard). It could have been the rubber but the combo was way too fast for me.
 
That’s was my first thought as well, but it does not feel super fast, I played a Yasaka silver 9 with Rakza X and that combo felt definitely faster. This blade is built during the 38mm celluloid era maybe bats was built slower back then.

Youre in Taiwan right?
I left a job I had in LA California in ’97. Back then I had a lot Taiwanese expatriate friends I played with. Almost all of them played pen style. How is it now? Is that style going more and more extinct?
