Different play style need different equipment to compliment plays. all-round control, fast attack, defensive. Generally a blade quality is define by power,feel,control,consistency,and durability.a good manufacturer always has a benchmark comparing different product catering to different styles.My advice is learn what style you are adapting to or likes to play before choosing your blade.generally all wood blade are consider control blade with better feel than composite blade. for high end blade it is always balancing the power and feel(dwell). softer the sponge provides more dwell for looping but limits the power and vice versa. There is a rule of thumb for choosing a blade, if the setup you made can't 'lift' an underspin ball confidently with your current skill then it is not for you(advance player will understand this).If you are still in the stage of learning basics, a powerful fast blade with little feel and dwell is not for you either. Feel is very subjective.Most season players have developed a higher sensitivity, hence they can afford to go for harder more powerful setup to gain power advantage.

Hi All, I'm an average player. Looking forward to join any TT activity. I stay at Kajang Sungai CHua, work at Puchong. After works 530pm near puchong would be fine.

Average player looking for TT kaki at Kajang area.

Where and when do you usually play?
I dont mind going to Jln Ipoh.

Anyone here still play at star elite puchong regularly?

H3 without speedgluing is a dead rubber.
H3 neo is a 1st gen tensile rubber, poor attempt of chinese rubber to counter the speedglue ban. Its a factory 'tuned' pre applied speed glued rubber(its too technical to explain why factory can use speed glue while at regulated tournament cant, main factor is curing time) . H3 neo has short lifespan and when it dies u need to 'speed glue it to revive it, chinese speed glue their special grade H3 neo the night before each game.

Basically as amateur u can do whatever u want. But speed glue itself is pretty much extinct.
its 2018 now, there are all slews of branded cheap 3rd 4th 5th gen tensile rubber. speed gluing is extinct.
If you got money to spare and plays regularly, cant go wrong with bty tenergy.

Yah, as what im saying if you can afford it. why not? I blame our weak currency. kids are training with tensiles and carbon blade nowadays, they have no problem with control and power delivery.

From my experience using tenergy n xiom, the grip and elastiticy is almost 3 times durable than xioms. tenergy are really built to last.

Apparently you can still get haifu speedglue/booster at taobao. being chinese, im almost sure they are using speedglue. the speedglue smash sound is very distinctive. higher pitch then any new tensiles.

There are hardcore way of speedglueing and simpler faster way. i would recommend using haifu speedglue/booster, i believe it is not up to haedcore speedgluing but really simple to apply.

you can pretty much youtube and learn how to do speedglue and order all ur stuff from taobao i guess.

ive tried speedglueing my bryce speed on cypress max before, its only nice for few hours top, short game u lost the bounce(bryce stiffer top rubber), power drive u get the speed(from sponge and hinoki hit). but u will find after the effect died u are left with a pretty bounceless rubber. ive seen chinese blade in real tht is so heavily glued sponge is so thicken frm it.

Ive learned abt speedglueing when i met someone playing black sriver w speedglue many many long years ago. It was an elevating experience. I instantly able to consistantly drive long underspin with his bat with ease. It was a eureka for me then. Anyone who is experience enough will tell you if u got ur swing right u are only a quarter away from getting it right,equipment really matters.

One thing though, eventhough the idea is simple but hitting hard through rubber is quite demanding too. I would say thts the main reason i switch to new softer tensiles.

i believe techNology is ever evolving, if there's an opportunity to try, why not?

Im not discouraging anyone frm using speedglue. i believe thts the beauty of amateur, u can do whatever you feel you enjoy the game most.

I believe you are all discussing TT of a bygone era. RSM is using jpen hinoki design for max hitting power (80% of his drives are through board from hinoki). His swing is a standard lashing with maximum extended when he is in a control shot. This style has already since obselete because of better bat design/adaptation of carbon blade which can give devastation punch block return. it basically killed RSM plays. His golden era was when using 38mm balls. Anyone who played 38mm before knows how easy to get blue black frm the smashes. jpen hinoki+38mm is very scary.

Fast forward to now, you can just look at 15yo Tomokazu harimoto plays in youtube. seriously a 15yo got what strenght and body weight? do u all seriously think speed alone can win an ITTF championship? The kid can deliver sufficient spin/power for the kills all thanks to modern equiptment.

Even womens teams are going to balance and not only speed alone, speed player like AI fukuhara has to adapt and do power training all the time.

I doubt anyone who is just an adult amateur can even match the speed/power/control of even 50% of this 15yo.
