Hi all,
A lot of talks (probably 90%) of TTD is about equipment as we are too lazy to put in the work in training in order to get better.
I am just curious about everyone’s journey in equipment. For me, I started with… a Sardius with T64 both sides when I was 600 USATT! classic mistake if you know what i mean
Then i went on to a tournament where my result was not too bad (beat a 700 little girl) - started getting serious about table tennis after that by… switching T64 to T05.
Going through all sort of blades and rubbers (All wood, 5 - 7 ply, TMB, Viscaria then Ma Long 5 where i discovered the holy grail H3). This was year 2.
Then my friend asked me one day “have you heard of booster”?
Can of worm opened. Falco, Seamoon, Haifu speedglue, you name it.
I stuck with H3 and ML5 for a couple years until i cracked 2000. What a journey with lots of training, tears and blood along the way.
Managed to make it to 2200 after switching to outer with tensor (currently FZD + C2 and 09C). I would say while I love the H3 holding the ball feel, tensor with outer give me more option esp with BH rallies.
About H3. In my opinion, if your level is not 2300 and up or you didn’t have proper training in the young age, H3 is holding you back because its demanding physical condition and correct technique.
I asked my coach about cracking 2300 and 2400. He said “2300 is possible for club player but it is also the ceiling. 2400 is only possible when you have had training at young age”
Guess what i did after that conversation?
