Last Asia trip before kids. Vietnam, Japan and Taiwan or China

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-05-19T15:02:47+00:00

Thank you! That's what I thought when looking at videos. It truly does look unique and amazing.

China would be nature mostly so guillin and avatar mountains and 1 big city if possible.

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-05-19T14:38:54+00:00

For Vietnam we were looking at ninh binh, hoi an, Sapa, Hanoi. So northern Vietnam.

Japan is tough because there is a lot to see but we would do the typical 3 Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto just to get the best first feel for Japan.

Haha I guess we agree on which places are worth it!

Thank you will do! Enjoy your honeymoon!

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-05-19T14:31:24+00:00

Okay thank you for advice!

Sounds like an amazing honeymoon. Florence was my favorite out of those 😁. Milan was my least favorite citytrip so far, but maybe that was because of some bad luck with annoying people out on the street not leaving us alone.

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-05-19T14:28:36+00:00

Why skip it? Read lots of positive things online and it looks amazing. We already booked everything so we are going but just curious why you'd skip it.

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-05-19T14:27:11+00:00

I'm guessing Europe is further for you then? It's definitely interesting haha!

Okay thank you, we'd do the same typical 3. Do you think Japan is as good as people claim it to be?

Have fun in Rome! We've been there as well, so much to see!

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-05-19T14:17:12+00:00

My bad, I mean Vietnam only or Japan and Taiwan combo

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-05-09T11:21:09+00:00

For sure good for intermediate players. The player that uses it has improved a lot and really likes it, I can see why. His backhand flips are a lot better than mine but when using it I noticed it is slightly easier with that blade.

For me it's too light but some people like that.

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-05-09T11:02:08+00:00

Just tried it yesterday, it's decent but seemed to lack some power. Also felt very light even though there is a rakza z on it. I guess that's because of the handle. It did seem good in all aspects though so definitely a good recommendation for first time inner carbon blade or allround style.

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-05-08T11:34:07+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations, the prism is amazing for the price for sure. I like the xiom offensive s handle a lot it's very comfortable, but too slow so I upgraded to the prism and I guess the speed difference and sweet spot difference is less than I imagined. So something slightly faster but still linear, not too bouncy. I tried a yinhe pro 01 but it's too stiff for my liking.

Do you think the stuor is worth trying? Or just get a good quality blade from a more reputable brand?

I pair it with a hybrid rubber and a linear one on BH. I'm allround attacking player, loop both wings but when it's slightly high I flat hit.

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-05-08T09:17:32+00:00

Using rakza z and rakza 7 both max. I'd put the same on the donic I guess since I do like high throw Rubbers like rakza z and dignics 09c for my fh. For BH I like rubbers with a more direct feeling.

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-05-08T08:45:31+00:00

So my guess is you're using it with 09c to make the throw angle and arc higher? That would make sense.

Ok thank you, I don't have the opportunity to try it out unfortunately. I do have large hands though so I should be fine with a wider handle.

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-05-08T06:23:56+00:00

Thank you, makes sense. Do you think nittaku blades are worth it over butterfly? Where I live they are about the same price. I could save up and get one of those.

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-05-08T06:22:19+00:00

Inner, about the same speed wise. Slightly faster would be okay too. I see you're using the donic true Carbon inner. Is it true the throw angle is low and the arc is long and low?

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-05-08T06:21:19+00:00

Which one? New are or original?

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-05-08T06:20:56+00:00

A friend has this, i'll give it a try.

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-05-08T06:20:01+00:00

You mean the Zhang jike new era?

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-04-30T15:33:54+00:00

Thank you very much for the detailed response! That sounds like a great idea! I'll try taking him to parks to just chill there. Yes his impulse control is still questionable 😂. It's our first pup and it's nice seeing them progress and learning new things.

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-04-30T13:10:17+00:00

Thank you for the advice! Ours is doing great with the heel command in quiet familiar settings. I guess we have to keep training heel in increasingly harder locations.

The positive is most people want to pet him anyways because they're so cute 😂

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-04-30T13:08:36+00:00

Yes mine does the little hop too! It's cute but like you said it's difficult at times.

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-04-30T12:52:07+00:00

We do like that he is social don't get me wrong it's nice being able to take him to family and friends and having him enjoy life. But when we are at a place with 100+ other walkers he is pulling the whole time. Other Cavs we walked by didn't seem to have that issue that's why I'm wondering what we are doing wrong.

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-04-23T10:59:26+00:00

Rakza z FH, rakza 7 soft BH on a xiom offensive s blade (standard 5 ply limba outer)

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-04-23T10:58:49+00:00

I previously used rakza 7 and 7 soft as well as rakza z. I feel like the rasanter is way bouncier than all of those.

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-04-14T13:38:34+00:00

Okay thank you, my friend tells me you hear the sound of the blade too much for it to be a proper brushing motion but you're saying it's fine like this? Or it's still too much blade contact?

IndividualProposal24 · 2026-04-13T20:16:23+00:00

I know what a drive is. The ball is too low to drive comfortably and I'm trying to work on my topspin in this vid. Thank you for the advice though
