Boz's New Tenergy 25 video on speed

I was not attacking. I said I like what you write SH...I still do.

now you know how boz feels.
good man! you are getting it.

Silverhair, I am done now. Peace.
 

silver hair you know that ever since that first post "tenergy lovers only" you have followed me around on threads and have added a negative comment about 30 times now.  then you act like oh no i dont know what you are talking about because there is no proof in this post.  all the posts put together make you like a ridiculous vindictive fool and I have tried to ignore you putting me down and why now come in here and start again.

boz - your forehand stroke has improved a lot!  Especially on smashes!

kudos!

It's well into January 1 for you, but a happy and healthy 2010 to you.

Thanks Icontek, you know I took a bit on board from u about my fh.  But really the t25 is such a tough rubber to get a satisfying feeling from, it really is for people that can drive through the big fat pips and then the medium hard sponge and then finally get the rewarding click of the blade.

what i enjoyed in fruit loops's game is how fluid his strokes are on both wings; that means a huge potential for power.

I did try it on bh and actually played proper competition one night with it on bh - yes you can do zippy shots but in my opinion every rubber's supposed "speed" rating depends on how you CAN hit the ball.

when what do you suggest for BH (RPB) using freechack glue?

I used T05 1.9 before 2.1 and I could feel the ball and actually I landed more shots on the table. But I'm feeling at risk ordering such expensive rubber and not liking it. I was using TBS at that time and now using Amultart.

bozbrisvegas wrote: not sure how you can not like it if you have already tried it.� I don't do reverse penhold but I think the best shot I play against is a sidespin hook - and so far I havent seen anything better at doing that than t05. The reason for this is as everybody knows is it has extremely high throw which means by sidespinning you bring the throw down. or put another way rubbers with a low throw are hard to sidespin with because the shot goes into the net more often. � Havent tried Hexer or vega - but so far depending on how much you train and your level I believe 05 will give the most devastating topspin sidespin shots. � A "friend of mine" has only just started implenting his rpg into his game and he uses t64 new on one side and t64 old on the other quite effectively. � if you dont use the shot much why dont you just stick the old sheet on the back? � I really dont think t25 is going to suit back there or any other fragile topsheet rubber from esn.

I use RPB a lot during a game, just because people focus on it as a weakness. The only problem with T05 is the very high throw, I was thinking also if T64 can fix that that since I hear it is a mid throw rubber..
Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it.

I just bought a solcion.. ugh ! that was a fast decision from, actually a blunder I guess :/

here is a vid of me doing drills, but my coach asked me not to add side spin.. but I usually add side spin in play.

bozbrisvegas wrote: why didnt you tell me you had a vid? ok you are real tall man.� I always imagine short asian guys using that grip - but solcion is good durable cant go wrong rubber - simple as that. � Your coach might be telling you not to do sidespin because its harder for him to return the ball. � this is the reason sometimes being coached trains all the quirks out of your game that makes it hard for other players. � Well trained players say it often to me - cant you just do a normal shot?� Everything you do is spin � I just look at them and say no I can't!� I want to say why should I hit the ball like everybody else?� I know which way you going to hit the ball... lol penhold sidespin yea thats tough coz most the players here use shakehand and then you got the sidespin just a lovely weapon.

I didn't talk about the vid because I had a topic about it few days ago :D
my coach explained what he means when he asks me not to do side spin RPB, because its harder to block and it will return differently each time to me. Same with you! the coach asks me to slow down my loop for example.. this makes me lose control and the ball keeps going far

When I first switched from T25 to H3 Neo the throw was too high for me and I didn't feel that this particular rubber will work for me. Then I tried Neo TG3 the day after, and I'm still using it.. I'm in love with TG3 (on Amultart), if I'll change to any other rubber then it will be T25 again though.

this is a very interesting post boz because i feel the same about tenergy 05.
