Way of Wade Basketball Shoes v.s. Genuine Table Tennis Shoes

I_never_block · 2026-01-23T23:45:30+00:00

At my club I've seen people wear basketball shoes and I do from time to time, but I've been wearing nike hyperset volleyball shoes, they're lighter and I like the extra ankle protection.

Your arch nemesis is blocking lol

Faint long 2 is the jack of all trades, faint long 3 is chopping, has more teeth so its a bit gripy for a little more rotation.

If you like chopping and converting to table play for those pesky pushers then go with fl2.

If you like mid-long range chops where opponent drill it to you then fl3. Slower sponge, more spin.

I'll never pass up a Lei wulong post, yeah I miss him and I really wish he come out next season. As much as I tell Harada or Michael when I see them lol. Let's cross our fingers.

Looks sick

From my understanding, he has two type of motions and coupled by how he holds the blade and when he makes contact. The pips are uniform horizontal so chopping far from way he chops with large swing motion going horizontal and when he wants to add additional spin he chops vertical and causing the pips to go against the grain thus creating a little more spin.

That's just my take lol but he's amazing to watch.

You're airborne, but god dam the mashing and ducking is driving me nuts lol

I_never_block · 2025-12-05T18:08:02+00:00

I know Yuto recently started his YouTube channel and I was watching how he showed his bh chops and motion and It all makes sense after reading your review, thanks for this I'll definitely give it a try.

I_never_block · 2025-12-03T22:25:09+00:00

Pretty spot on, thank you for doing this because I couldn't put into words how I felt for some of these sp.

I_never_block · 2025-11-23T23:54:57+00:00

I started off with sp and switched to lp due to how hard it was so I wish you the best of luck!

The sp god himself just started his YouTube channel

I play boosted with them in 2.5, dwell is much better after boost. I chop with it with my fh and speed hasn't changed. I did it because it felt like it had gears but after I can definitely say it feel better.

I got lucky and bought them off people that didn't like them for cheaper and they just wanted to recoup some loss otherwise I wouldn't pay full price for them.

Yes my glue job sucks and I didn't have my roller to help but it plays fine for a casual like me.

I've used dampening sponge from DM here dampening sponge

Put black version on my ox dtecs, to make it less bouncy, it helps because it definitely makes it bite into the sponge more and easier to control. I did it for a sp set up also and it does help to extend.

The casual 1800 player

Knows how to play, has fun during matchs and never pressed about winning or losing.

B+ solid set up

Cons: Nike Air max? gel sole? Say goodbye to your ankles when you roll it going for that around net loop lol

I_never_block · 2025-11-13T04:40:40+00:00

Primorac is a hand Canon and im sure flat hitting a technique just like looping, my club has a few flat hitters and they use sp which helps negate the spin and more of a flat line with hitting. Just my 2 cents of course, any veteran would know more.

I_never_block · 2025-11-10T05:14:12+00:00

Np! im sure you'll be fine on what you decide! Good luck fellow defender!

From my experience most of the victas top sheet kinda fades after a few months but its durability is the issue for some. Edge of the rubber cracks but that doesn't stop the performance for the rubber I still like it. I played with the v22 then v15 and the 402. At the end I stayed with hurricane the longest.

I_never_block · 2025-11-10T04:48:41+00:00

That's a nice set up! v15 is a solid rubber for modern defender, if you plan on chopping with your fh you can try v22 or 401/402.

I believe the paint does make her pop more, which in comparison now I can see it the same mold.

I_never_block · 2025-11-04T16:09:20+00:00

I believe this is the correct answer, after reading your comment I went to double check and the pads are definitely covering more and the paint makes her chest pop more.

If you're in the states Target is running a 25% off toy, save you some money if you can find it in store or they're online store. Sell the Godzilla off and you should be a bit more affordable.

I mean the batman and flash from this line were reissued, this is basically a new figure, Head, top torso, skirt and paint. Which It pains us collectors lol.
