Then maybe you should stop treating people like idiots
DHS Fang Bo Carbon is good!Hi everyone, I've been using Donic Waldner Senso Carbon with Bluefire M3 rubbers for about 1 year. I think i need a blade with normal handle instead of an empty one. I'm copying chinese pros technique (quick footwork and full power strokes from the ground; FZD, Fang Bo, Ma Long...), but i don't really feel comfortable with my current setup. I didn't know much about equipment a year ago so i bought the first setup that someone suggested. I need a setup that give me the confidence to go with the full power strokes. I play 4-7 hours a week, and a quick footwork.
Should i change my setup entirely or just the rubbers? Can you suggest me a good blade that fits my playing style (and tacky hard chinese rubbers)? I was thinking about Fang Bo Carbon.
Without any visual cue, it is hard to recommend anything. However, as a general rule of thumb, M3 is too soft unless you are U13 kind of player. Your blade is a good one, I would not change it unless for some very major reason. M1 for FH + M2 for BH is the default set-up for most players on Donic product. I had use this set-up for quite a while and I like it. Again, I reiterate, unless is for some very major reason, I suggest no need to change the good blade.
P/s: My National team is sponsored by Donic and some of our National Level players uses M1 ( FH ) + M2 ( BH ) with your blade, so it is real decent set-up.
What is the budget?
2 pages now, I guess if providing a budget in OP, it will save a lot of time
I have money but i just don't want to waste it to butterfly products because i think they are kinda overpriced.
Let me un haha, so you can haha.
Then I will haha back after you haha
That's right. Whatever we do, Tony must always have the LAST haha, no one else can.
What a pitty we can't un-haha.
I can't unhaha, but you are on with your thumbs up now (so maybe i must go and click it and you name will then show?).
Okay, i'm going to ask mods to remove the ' once and for all.
PS. I dont' think it was an issue 10 years ago though.
Don't do that. It's just fun.
Do you also have this proverb: who laughs the LAST, laughs the best?
first time i'm hearing that.
but I don't want TTD to bomb out because of my username lol
I wanted to like SDC's new blade, but then worried no one else can lol
BrokenBall, in a thread where someone is asking about equipment advice, is there really a reason for you to behave like this? You should know, I have given you a lot of rope, but it does seem you are slowly hanging yourself. It is not the information you present. Rather, it is the way you behave and the way you treat others. It might be worth you knowing that I have had multiple complaints from different members about you within the recent past. And you should also know, you are very close to getting banned yet again.
I don't have time to waste on this. Stop treating people like you think they are beneath you. Stop being rude. Stop hijacking threads and attacking people. That is a bare minimum: If you cannot do that, you do not belong on this forum.
Back to the original question ...
Have you considered a straightforward 5-ply all-wood blade? Something like the Xiom Offensive S is a really good looping blade, and if you stuck a set of Xiom Vega X (or Pro) rubbers on it that would be a fair step up in power from what you're currently using. If you're losing points with that bat, it won't be because it's not powerful enough - unless you're competing at a pretty high level.
It's also an excellent value for money set up.
. And once I realize it, I can always talk to myself and focus on training harder.I have played with WSUC (Waldner Senso Ultra Carbon) for 8-9 years and I still love the blade and try it out now and then with my main rubbers. I also posted a review of it on this website. WSC (Waldner Senso Carbon) is a slightly slower version of WSUC and by all means a very good blade. It's Limba top ply with senso handle which imparts lots of feeling while performing table tennis strokes. I believe that selection of equipment is more mental satisfaction or the curiosity to try something new rather than having a huge impact on the individual's strokes. Until the transition is really drastic, like going from OFF++ to DEF blade or rubber.
On the other hand, I myself have tried number of setups and I still sometimes think of try something new. I believe that it is not end of the world by any means and if it gives an individual satisfaction then by all means try it and see. However, after trying out and owning 15-20 blades and different rubbers, I firmly believe that I more or less play the same
Mods should really get Dan to update the software powering this site and fix these sql injection issues ...
I think you guys should all PM him. He has not responded to any of my attempts to reach out. The site's IT guy told me the same. Go ahead and send away. Feel free to make threads about it. Feel free to wake up the thread he made about it.
