  2. Why won't my racket stay closed?

    Hello! I played a bit just now, and whenever I do a stroke it should start with a super closed racket and stay super closed until the end of the stroke. However, whenever I try it the blade opens up midway and the ball misses the table again. Do you guys know why this happens? How do I fix...

    Hello! I am a Jpen SP player, but maybe that'll change depending on this thread :) See, what I want to find out is: how do you know if a certain type of rubber is for you? I mainly play closer to the table using smaller shots (probably from the SP), and smashing obviously. Should I use...
  6. Medium pips Penhold..?

    Hi guys, recently I've been thinking of something quite intuitive! A CPEN racket with: Medium Pips forehand Inverted backhand Basically, what my idea is is for using the MP to block incoming attacks and to prepare for the backhand, used as the main attacker via RPB. Do you think this is viable?

    "Created by V-Grip pioneer Alessandro G., this involves placing the thumb over the index when gripping. The other three fingers are placed on the rubber on the back. Only the backhand side is used when blocking or looping, and the 'forehand' attack is akin to the penhold backhand; rotating your...

  11. The W-Grip

    This is a really odd grip I've seen some people use, and it usually has the thumb and pointer on the forehand side of the racket and the other three on the back, making a W with the three. Also, this goes well in tandem to Shakehand, maybe allowing for a quick style switch. Does anyone here have...

  17. Boll Allround Wood + Sriver combo opinion needed

    Hi, I am an intermediate player coming back to the game after 15 years. Butterfly is the only option shipping wise which makes sense right now.
