By that point of view, probably if you play with old Srivers and get used to them you would also kept your raking.
Everybody knows that the blade/rubbers won't do miracles, but some will help a lot to one kind of players and other will be better for other players. That is why I'm saying that if he tries different blades he would choose one he likes better, maybe just in his mind, but that is also a part of the game. When he chooses one certain blade composition, then he just needs to try from different brands to see which fits him better

In my case, I began by choosing the out layer between koto, limba and hinoki (never tried others like rosewood or walnut), then the composition (changed my preferences for the plastic ball) and then I ask OSP to make me a customized blade (which I love). It could have worked badly, but not in my case

Maybe it should read "the rest of 2015". I am set on my current setup for the rest of 2015. I have used it for month and a half now and since Tenergy 05 prices have gone up and I have 4 spare sheets, it is going to be pretty hard to change to the alternative for a year. |

I like putting heavy topspin on the ball...

Which is exactly what I said but you just didn't like how I said it. |

Beginners, by nature, tend to choose blades that are too fast for them.
There are many short term justifications, including shorter strokes and ability to hit winners when out of position. Allowing beginners to try everyone's equipment and pick what they like usually isn't a good idea.

I think under the guidance of an informed player, it is actually a good idea. Being attracted to the wrong things when inexperienced is not unique to table tennis. It's all tied to misconceptions about what it takes to do well and thinking more of something is always better.

... Famous last words... Just some humour that I thought a lot of us could relate to... That reminds me. I must update my signature to represent what I am using now... On topic, there's nothing wrong with knowing the range of blade speeds that are available... I have tried "a few" blades including some club mates blades that felt like toys to me...

had a great session of ping pong with nextLevel today, afterwhich i have decided to keep using my old timo boll spirit t05 and t64. the setup is a little fast but i think i will be able to adjust to how it plays.
i also wanted to thank everyone for sharing views and opinions.

big d - Nice one...
Don't be surprised that your experience with the TB ZLF has enhanced your appreciation for the TB Spirit... It's a great setup and you've got a good keen training buddy with NextLevel to keep you on point... Enjoy! ...

5 ply allwood are the best looping blades in terms of feel and feedback. If feeling and good high throw is what you ssek, you can consider many 5 ply blades. Limba is the most common outer ply for loopers, you can consider many blades, the most common composition is limba-limba-ayou-limba-limba and blades of this composition are available in every budget and certainly manufactured by most brands : from the cheap (but very good ones) like Joola K5 or Donic Waldner senso to the expensive ones like a made in Japan Butterfly Korbel or the Nittaku Acoustic.
You can't go wrong with those blades if you want a good looping blade, this composition is here for decades and has please all kind of loopers. Of course many other 5 ply blades are also the "looper's dream", but unless you are more specific, it will be hard to guide you to a more specific 5 ply allwood blade. |

Infinity VPS really made me smile when I changed from Kido 7p. HUGE sweetspot, great feeling, solid pace.

I think Timo Boll Alc it is the best blade for topspin from both sides...with T05 fh/bh you can blow your opponent but you must have some skills.

Have you tried a Clipper? A great do-it-all blade, with a small price, and certainly a blade loopers love.

I wouldn't call emerald vps v or Clipper as looping blades - I'd reserve that moniker for a 5-ply limba-limba-ayous-limba-limba construction.

The original Nexy Calix. Huge dwell, flexy, dual impact at its best.
