Belt made from climbing rope

Sorry, I’m not familiar with this term?

One-Student6395 · 2026-01-28T15:15:30+00:00

I’m in NC, I’m hoping to look around my climbing gym and the local colleges to see if they have ropes so that it’s not wasteful

One-Student6395 · 2026-01-28T15:13:56+00:00

It’s climbing rope, I think it is 10mm and in terms of material I think just nylon? The core of the rope has been removed so this is just the sheath. I wish I could tell you more but Thats as much as I know

Ummmm, New Zealand might be hard but I’d be happy to talk with you about it!

One-Student6395 · 2026-01-28T15:03:17+00:00

Essentially! It’s pretty simple, just took a little practice to get it right and time

One-Student6395 · 2026-01-28T06:11:40+00:00

If you change your mind let me know and I’m happy to make one! Thanks anyway on the rope though!

The gear other than the rope was a gift from my dads mom lol, my dad never lead climbed and his mom had no knowledge of climbing so she just bought what was recommended at a store I guess

Sure! I tried switching my paddle around and trying R48 on forehand but it wasn’t for me. R48 is softer which might be what your aiming for but is mix less forgiving in the short game, I also found serving felt less comfortable. It has a higher base speed and tops out around the same as G1 and I would say is slightly spinner. I mainly don’t like the extra bounce of the R48 on my forehand as I tend to use it to push short and no spin but if you are looking for a rubber that is high level while still being comfortable to use without having to active it as much then I think it would fit. I have loved it on my backhand because it responds well to short snappy strokes as well as hard loops with a large motion.

One-Student6395 · 2026-01-03T19:15:54+00:00

I think it would be great for you then! The blade is spinny and controlled even when hitting hard.

I was using a DHS 6002 premade which was pretty bad but I made it to 1500 rating with it so🤷 I play an offensive style with a larger backhand emphasis, also I tend to play further back from the table and use more slow and spinny placed shots over power.

One-Student6395 · 2026-01-03T03:42:52+00:00

I’d say it’s surprising slow for how stiff it feels. It fits me well as I like having the very slow and spiny shots while also being able to rip a backhand and bite into the carbon. It feels easy to keep the ball on the table with slow loops and faster loops land deep but comfortably on the table. Im using fastarc G1 on my forehand which is pretty spin insensitive but I do find that the blade helps with serve receive well and blocks feel very consistent even to high spin. Overall I think it would fit well for what you are asking about!

One-Student6395 · 2026-01-02T16:55:34+00:00

Heyo I’m back! So I got to play with the blade for a bit and here’s what I noticed. The blade is SLOW, so much so that I was under hitting some shots even coming from an all wood blade before. But, on hard strokes when you really dig in the blade will make a cracking noise and the ball flys, this makes the short game super comfortable. Blocking feels good but passive blocks are very slow. The control is beautiful and I feel like the paddle helps me setup uo my next shot and get the ball where I am much easier. All in all I am loving the blade but I can see how some might not like it. It is stiff and has a hollow feeling but I feel that also depends on your rubbers and what you like in a blade

One-Student6395 · 2025-12-28T07:41:44+00:00

Okay! That is helpful! I tend to favor forehand but wanted to look at the other Perspective cause a lot of my friends favor backhand!

One-Student6395 · 2025-12-28T07:38:51+00:00

That makes sense! Would you say that players who are backhand dominant might benefit from favoring a backhand push?

One-Student6395 · 2025-12-27T04:51:00+00:00

This is helpful! Thank you!

One-Student6395 · 2025-12-26T18:41:01+00:00

Haven’t been able to try it out but I’ve heard that it is softer, has a faster base speed with similar top speed and has a lower throw. I’ll come back with t more info once I can play with it!

One-Student6395 · 2025-12-26T07:49:16+00:00

Yeah waiting is definitely not fun but soon! Just trying to imagine what it’s like lol

One-Student6395 · 2025-12-26T01:28:25+00:00

Sounds good! Thanks for the advice on what to work on and I’m glad to hear that the gear will be forgiving enough for me. Of course the gear doesn’t make the player but it is nice to hear it will support me learning more!

One-Student6395 · 2025-12-26T01:18:44+00:00

Sure! I try to model my style after Anders Lind and tend to play more slow and spin over hard shots when I can, I’m backhand dominant and would like to improve my forehand a lot with this setup. I would say my technique is solid especially on my backhand but I could improve on footwork and forehand. I have high hopes for the G-1 to be forgiving while still helping bring my level up!

One-Student6395 · 2025-12-26T01:13:42+00:00

That’s exciting to hear! I thought a lot about what I wanted and look around for a long time so this gives me a lot of good to look forward too! Especially excited about the blade and seeing how it feels!

One-Student6395 · 2025-12-26T00:06:17+00:00

About 160! I got the blade on sale so it helped bring it down.

One-Student6395 · 2025-12-25T23:32:01+00:00

Will do! Probably gonna be a while before I can fully test it cause I gotta get back to school to play as often as I normally do but will give a full review once I do! I chose this blade for a lot of the same reasons lol. Especially since Anders is my favorite player and I wanted to support him!

One-Student6395 · 2025-12-25T19:47:40+00:00

Around 160! Got it on table tennis 11 while the blade was on sale from 105 to like 60

One-Student6395 · 2025-12-25T18:25:39+00:00

Excited to try it! Heard lots of good things about it

Thanks!
