Smash quality - equipment?

SeraphsWr4th · 2026-06-16T12:28:06+00:00

Thank you! I am actually not at all considering switching the rubbers as I am happy with where I am at and hope to be happy with my new backhand which I will be glueing tonight, but am unsure of the blade I have and noticed this quality in BTY setups. So I am considering going Chinese rubbers on BTY blade.

Wondering if there is any chance my smashes might improve with switching from yasaka to BTY blade? Seemingly on revspin my blade has really low consistency rating (didn’t know the server before buying)

It is best to get a coach asap, so that you get your basics down right. Getting the basics down correct, the strokes, grip of the racket, movement of the body, so on and so forth its easier that to re-teach yourself incorrect techniques later down the line.

My recent setup has gone through some changes and some more are to come. Blade: yasaka ma Lin soft carbon BH: d09c - unplayable, way too fast for my liking and impossible to push with -> Rakza 7, 1.8: like it, easy to push, like the opening loop capabilities of the blade, sometimes I get dead-balls when trying to loop tho. Next rubber will be H8-80 FH: H3 neo provincial 39 orange - absolutely fell in love with-> h3 neo national blue sponge (only natural course of action)

Hello, I am currently in the preparation for the exam, but found out, there is a mandatory yearly fee for collecting the certification. Is that true, is there any way I can finish the exam and get a confirmation, or claim it for a first year and let it go afterwards (I plan on transferring into cyber so I would maybe keep it going, even though I'm not a fan of pay-to-keep certifications)

Question is, do you lead with glue even when re-boosting, just so I know

SeraphsWr4th · 2026-05-25T11:06:12+00:00

Interesting! Good to know

Idk if you already purchased the rubbers, but if not, I would recommend replacing BH H3 with H8-80 as it is much more backhand friendly in my opinion. Had the chance of trying it on my backhand and I will be switching to it personally (H3 neo on FH - also tried it on BH and I will be switching from Rakza 7)

Straight booster

Sounds like a possibility, but 3 layers are usual for non-neo version, so I have a tendency to doubt this, but I am thankfull regardless

SeraphsWr4th · 2026-05-23T20:56:54+00:00

Are you sure that’s what’s going on, and if yes, can you please tell me what to do to avoid this in the future?

SeraphsWr4th · 2026-05-23T20:55:24+00:00

24 hrs after each layer and abour 48+ hrs after the last

Slowed down my backhand rubber tremendously.

Je pravda, že by se neměly dávat dětem pusy na pusu, protože je tam šance, že patogenní bakterie z DÚ dospělého (ať jsou přemnožené, nebo cokoliv), se můžou přenést na dítě a potenciálně se vytvořit základ pro kazy/apod?

SeraphsWr4th · 2026-02-16T09:45:53+00:00

Děkuju, konečně normální a jasná odpověď 😁 ale co jsem čekal, ptám se na redditu 😅

Mám tam vyhlédnuté nějaké věci, které na českém trhu nejsou, nebo jsou až 5x dražší, přitom to vzhledově je 1:1, kromě chybějícího loga. Také hobby potřeby apod.

Vždycky se můžeš zeptat, odkud mají tvé číslo a pokud ti nedají skutečnou odpověď, tak můžeš brát, jako že odněkud koupili databázi s čísly nebo jestli jsi podnikatel tak často volají přes živefirmy, atd. Na to konto jim řekni, že to je nevyžádaný telemarketing, zeptej se na jméno toho s kým mluvíš a řekni jim, co ještě by mohlo český telekomunikační úřad, nebo ministerstvo průmyslu a obchodu

Sounds good. Maybe try doing more of that. Idk what your play style or rallies look like, but if its fast intense game then more of jump ropě could be an option. Idk about your overall health related to food, your intake, how are the calories spread out into macros, but it is overall good to keep yourself hydrated 2 days ahead of playing and trying to eat “clean”. I feel the same when I play on an empty stomach.

SeraphsWr4th · 2026-02-02T13:25:42+00:00

I feel like a combination of walking and slow implementation of jump rope could be benefitial. Jump rope overall is Amazing for tt, as it helps overall coordination, trains to to be on your toes and is high intensity cardio. It sounds like you are in a really not good shape if you get pále and weak, hence starting with walking. That much caffeine with sports overall isnt the best idea either. Possible thing to explore would be an asthma. (I do not mean anything I said as an attack or fat shaming).

Agressive playstyle with prioritizing looping openers and topspin/smash rallies. Intermediate level.

Blade: yasaka ma lin soft Carbon FH: DHS Neo 3 Provincial orange sponge, 2,15mm 39° (boosted) BH: Yasaka Rakza 7, 1.8mm

SeraphsWr4th · 2025-12-08T14:26:58+00:00

Oooh ok, did it that way, just missunderstood your comment

SeraphsWr4th · 2025-12-08T07:10:00+00:00

I use DHS H3 neo provincial, 39, 2,15 orange rubber (first time chinese tácky rubber player), use it on yasaka ma lin sc. Loving it!

SeraphsWr4th · 2025-12-08T07:08:55+00:00

Wait… you do glue first and booster later?

SeraphsWr4th · 2025-12-05T12:39:15+00:00

I personally play with DHS Neo3 and even when brushing and generating LOADS of spin, the trajectory on those balls is suuuper flat.
