Does this rubber have enough pace for TPB on a JPEN blade?

Hi there Today I would like to share a few blades that I have. I have had them for a bit, and then through a few contacts got in touch with some people at Darker that can identify them and their time period. So that was fun. If you have anymore information, and share the same interest as mine...

Finally got a cheap new butterfly cypress v-max S, my question is what rubber would be better on JPEN hold for smashing? I was thinking tenergy 05/ tenergy 05 hard (never used them before tbh) or dignics 05 because you need to block a lot preparing for the smash, any advice? I dont have...

Hi everyone, Was looking at the ultimate single ply hinoki (檜単板) jpen blade by Kokutaku, 尾州No.1 超スーパー超特選『極』(translated as Bishuu No.1 Chou Super Chou Tokusen "Kiwami") on their official website and noticed they offer square (角/kaku) and square round (角丸/kakumaru) shapes but note only one set of...

Recently Ive been thinking on a ultimate penhold racket, basically a merge of JPEN and CPEN. Right now my idea is a JPEN with a shorter handle, much like CPEN with a smaller bump for better grip. Do you guya have any ideas

...I turn my hips, twist my shoulders and waist, put my elbow behind, relax, move my arm, tense up, then I strike! Unfortunately that happens 1/10 times. Hello! How to improve my timing in table tennis, especially if you have quite a big windup like stated above. I am a Jpen player, just if...

Hello! I've been wondering recently as to which of these two are better. What are your opinions on it, and why? I personally think Jpen is fit for me, as my strategy leans more onto one technique, and maxing out its potential. Jpen is better than Cpen in this regard, as Cpen distributes the...

Hello, I've been wondering: What're the differences in PLAY STYLE between Cpen and Jpen. I'm not talking about the blade shape, but instead, finger placement, common techniques, and more. Because rn I don't know the difference too much, I separate them by TPB and RBP.

Hi, I play Jpen SP. I am wondering how to do the backhand stroke and the backhand punch. How do you do it?

I recently bought the Palio 8603 over the Yinhe 985, and I am confused about what the Ti+Carbon means on the blade. As an extra question, what does 5+2+2 ply mean?

I recently learned of the term 'hinoki' and now I'm quite interested. Is it better than carbon for Jpen, or is it not? What are the pros and cons of each?

I am a Jpen player, and I play short pips. I want to ask as to how you backhand punch properly???

I found it on aliexpress (“Chinese PingPong” store) and i thought about giving it as a gift to a friend... The problem is i found it strange because of the back, i didn't know the 988 had a version with double side. Does it exist? Does anyone who has/had it know? I say this because the one i saw...

Hi all, I've gotten to a USATT rating of about 1000 with my pretty crappy pre-made Butterfly Nakama racket, and I am hoping to invest in a nice jpen blade to use for a long time. The gold standard for jpen blades seems to be Darker Kiso Hinoki though I was wondering if anyone else who plays with...

What do y'all think about these blade recently purchased will be in my hands soon will post a review when the time comes. I have a thing for 1ply hinoki :rolleyes: Both blades will be sanded on blades edge for finishing touches by company as in the finishing touches have not been added yet...

Hello guys I have a question why do some jpen players take off the back handle cork off/ (not the cork sheet but the handle) is there benefits or a reason as to why players do that? I believe Ryu Seung Min does that from what I heard but never understood why they do that please help me out in...

Hello I was wondering if there was a way to clean the cork on the JPEN paddles when it starts to varnish and become a darker color from sweat and dirt and also a way to prevent oxidation and staining to form on the cork handles

Just out of curiosity, but are there any other Jpen players that are still on the rankings and playing on international events? One that i know of is Brazil's Cazuo Matsumoto (currently WR#491). Any other players than him?

first, i don't want to try jpen rpb. i am totally a cpen. I saw some people somewhere saying that cpen's rpb hurt their fingers, but when they used jpen's rpb they didn't get hurt. have any professionals tried besides Dang Qiu in 2014/2015? and is there any real technical advantage over cpen...

hey guys , im a a beginner (jpen) and recently i learned to twiddle my racket and i was think in getting some sort of pips as a backhand rubber to give me some advantage what do you guys think ? or should i wait until i develop my playstyle a little more ?
