1 HR AGO - So I finally received my Hellfire X and Unicorn blade for my one option and the second Hellfire X for my Zhang Jike blade. Thank you to Red spot for persuading me and arranging the delivery as well.I'll not focus on the Zhang Jike setup fo now since the Hurricane III hasn't settled in as yet. I'll comment on it after a few weeks. However, the Hellfire X and Unicorn blade with the Hurricane III is absolutely a gem of a combination. I can play the same effective shots as with my Cloud and Fog iii setup and with the Elite long setup. However, the Hellfire X does it all and even more. The more I'm referring to is that the Hellfire X has a fantastic damping effect and more reversal than compared to the other two mentioned setups. Reversal on the chop blocks for sure and not much on the passive block.I can feel the ball soo much more and it performs in all departments. Whether I play with it on my forehand or backhand. This goes for either defence or attack. The Hurricane III works Collapse

5 HRS AGO - Oh.. something I forgot to mention (which you might've found out already). If you're using single ply veneer, applying wood glue (water-based such as Titebond) to one side will cause it to CURL. If you thought over-boosted H3 curled into a burrito you haven't seen anything yet... Really annoying (and something that didn't happen with three ply birch). You could dampen the other side to keep it relatively flat until you get it into the clamps, I guess, or you could use epoxy or polyurethane glue (if using these scrape off as much as you can with a plastic squeegee (people used to use playing cards, which are cheap but it made your pack incomplete..) before putting into the clamps.

CDC guidelines:Prepare a bleach solution by mixing:5 tablespoons (1/3rd cup) bleach per gallon of room temperature water or4 teaspoons bleach per quart of room temperature waterBleach solutions will be effective for disinfection up to 24 hours.She mixes the bleach with water in a quart-sized container for disinfectant. We then bought several rolls of Bounty paper towels, cut them in half, and placed them in plastic containers we bought on Amazon. We then take a cup of the water mixed with the bleach and pour it over the paper towels, and we keep the containers out by the tables for players to wipe down their side of the table when they are finished. We also drilled small holes in the tops of the containers so you can pull out the wipes. This works very well and really helps to keep the costs down. Collapse

Go to 5:40 and tell me Ma Te has a "weak forehand" I keep reading people say how bad his forehand is, lacks power, etc etc. The guy is a CNT member. His forehand does not lack power, touch or anything else. It's just his style is not to power loop every point.Statistics: Posted by notfound123 — 11 Aug 2020, 04:52 Collapse

4 HRS AGO - When I last tried using 802 for chopping, I found that:1) no vendor from the US or China had the supposedly normal orange-sponge version in stock2) The stuff that was in-stock, 802 Mystery III with the white sponge, felt like chopping with inverted. The feel when pushing or lifting backspin over the table was different from inverted, but it was very difficult to control when chopping topspin loops or receiving serves with side+topspin. I find TSP Super Spinpins Chop 1 much easier to chop with; sadly, it has been discontinued and only SSPC2 is still made (same topsheet, vastly softer sponge). Though a fair number of vendors still have some in stock. OOAK actually has SSPC1 in red 1.0-1.3mm on a blowout sale if you want to try it cheaply and shipping from Australia doesn't kill the savings (grab an OOAK t-shirt while you're doing things!).FWIW, Hou Yinchao supposedly uses Spectol on a very hard sponge.Statistics: Posted by kaesees — 11 Aug 2020, 02:35 Collapse
