I heard they are lighter, so now we need to wait and check the durability
As for ej stuff I agree that changing stuff will not change the skill and practice is irreplaceable, but I noticed that different setup makes me play differently, so ej'ing is the way to find the setup that will make me play the way I want to play
Valid point. So there is some EJing that can be very useful. And then there are some who sound like they are a little desperate to find out about new things whether they need something new or not.
Need vs want. Desperation and longing vs intelligent research.
I will never question someone like rokphish who has more TT equipment than any store. He buys what he wants and has fun with it. He really has a totally amazing collection.
But then there are others who seem to have a less healthy relationship with the EJ Virus which comes across in the manner in which they ask questions about new product after new product.
The questions are okay too. But don't let the hype make you think you need every new product.
I admire someone like rokphish who loves to collect and can afford to buy everything he wants and simply does.
I admire a guy like NextLevel who knows enough about equipment to experiment with how he plays with slower blades and fast, spinny rubbers and then faster blades with more controlled rubbers, experimenting with how different setups help his play style.
But he also knows he can pick up many different setups and adjust to the things each setup does well and what each setup does not do as well.
An exploration for what will work best for your game is totally fine. But thinking one needs every new product and wanting to know the differences between each new thing can become obsessive.
So experimentation is fine. Collecting is fine. Obsession is a vulnerable mental state that may not be so useful. And, Vrael, I don't get the sense that you are obsessive about equipment in spite of your search for the right equipment for your game.
