  5. Chinese Rubbers Max Thickness Problem

    Hi for all, I have a doubt, I have a Chinese coach and he's talking about the chinese rubbers are much better than the Euro/Jap ones, and he convinced me to try out Chinese rubbers on forehand.

  10. Where do you read about Chinese equipment?

    I enjoy reading about equipment. From European/Japanese brands, we have the catalogue and some rating from sites like revspin and paddlepalace. I've just recently found my love for tacky rubber. It's fast when I hit hard, and super easy not to engage the sponge too much on shots against...

  12. Is Hugo Calderano Chinese next biggest threat?

    I'm a big fan of hugo calderano. I've always known there was something special about him.

  15. Differences in how to spin the ball: Chinese and European rubbers

    I'm not an equipment expert at all. I feel like I'm asking an extremely common sense question, but for softer rubbers, you generate spin mainly by using the sponge? (as opposed to closing your racket more to spin the top of the ball for tacky rubbers) I heard this while going through...

  17. LF: a tutorial on how to block (in Chinese)

    I have a friend, a penholder, who does not speak English well (he is a visitor from China). When we practice, he tends to do the spinny "block" with his wrist brushing over the ball a bit (he plays RPB). I struggle to explain to him how to block flat. I am pretty sure there should be some...
