Made me laugh! But I'm a physics professor, so looking at things quantitatively and analyzing data is kind of what I do. Anyway, thanks again to all who chimed in. I decided to order Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft 2.0 and Xiom Vega Europe 2.0. I'll try them each with forehand and backhand and see how they go.

I would be the joker and say one ought to be knowing the properties of the rubber/blade. Equipment DOES make a difference as it makes it easier or more difficult to do something. That allows a player to select something that gives him/her the best chances of landing shots they do the most if they selected equipment that suits what they do the most. On a contrary opinion, (one that totally agrees with pgpg) worrying about any of that is utter nonsense if a player is in the phase of developing strokes, tactics, and experience. One is better off getting middle of the road equipment slanted towards ease of control. Every company makes several of this class. Takes the worry out of everything and makes the range of choices easy to understand and high percentage to get right. Still, it is mostly a free world and TTers can quadruple over-analyze things and obsess, worry, and fuss over the decision to the extent of legal insanity if they choose. That seems to be a modern joy of TT.

I see OP posted at the exact second I did (and beet me by .001 seconds). I believe his choices are quite middle of the road and will be very well suited.

Ah, a fellow physicist! Here is a thing - when analyzing data it's helpful to understand what is the actual data generating process (survey of random strangers of unknown TT ability about properties that are not well defined and subjective in nature). Sorry for somewhat combative attitude. |

Physics.....Im not a physicist but work at Fermilab building the experiments. I am currently working on PIP2 and SLAC. Watching your BH have you ever thought about long pips? It looks like you prefer to chop everything to your BH. I saw you killed a few high balls at the table but that's easy with pips as well.

I have Liu Shiwen ZLF. I use Butterfly Rozena on FH. Excellent in every way. Not as fast as T05. So a bit better control.

Good commentary overall, particularly given the 1400 rating. The Liu Shiwen is very flexible relative to it's speed, therefore better attacking players will typically want medium rubber on their backhands, and harder rubber on their forehands.
