As a recovering EJ; Its a 12 step programme The first step is admitting you are an EJ..... I have been an EJ on and off for a few years. If you are going to test different equipment, make sure you do at the same venue using the same balls and table. Otherwise different venues and balls or tables could be having a big effect on how you feel it is going. Its the only scientific way to get a proper reading of what is going on. I have just ordered my 15th new blade of the last 2 years. Hopefully it will be the last. Stiga Allround Evolution! But what if its too slow???????????? ------------- Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon FH: Tenergy 05fx BH: Spinlord Keiler |

Then try a Stiga Allround Classic Carbon, just a tiny bit faster.  The possibilities are nearly endless... Seriously, if you want to quit EJing and your setup is too slow, just hit harder! ------------- Nexy Arche & Nittaku Violin LG. Join the forum_posts.asp?TID=47778" rel="nofollow - Nexy Clan !

If its too slow get a Vituoso, Acoustic or maybe Korbel? If that is too slow Virtuoso + or maybe a 7 ply if the V+ doesn't work out ? Maybe a light weight Clipper? Maybe an innerforce blade? Composite will help stability and won't have so much feedback plus a larger sweet spot. I love my Apolonia ZLC.... hahahahahahahaha ------------- OSP Expert II w DNA Dragon Grip |

That's what I thought at first. It's actually too fast for me with two T05s attached. It is probably the overall weight of the assembled racket. Alternatively, Viscaria and Freitas play a little slower with the same rubber. I bought the Evolution looking for better feeling in my push game, which I got. Looping with the Evo is unreal. So much power and spin. ------------- Apolonia ZLC Donic Z3 Andro R42 |

What was wrong with your Primorac Carbon? You mentioned plating at the same venue, etc, etc....I would also add, to try and play against the same player/players, as much as possible. That way you remove that variable as well. I was never an EJ, and I always felt like my playing had drastically deteriorated when playing with a new blade. And it took almost two months to get used to all the quirks of the new setup, sometimes more. So glad I have settled. FdT

I've been EJing for years I make my own paddles so my excuse is I have to try them. And try to get rubbers to match. Most times i go thru a 2 oz bottle of tear mender every other week. I have blades that do what no other blade does. Most times its fun sometimes it's not. I usually carry 4 or 5 blades to the club every time. Changing so often obviously hinders consistent play but what are the alternatives. |

No wonder you change equipment so much. And no wonder you are so stubborn when people tell you to stop. And you kinda lied when you said you used the same equipment for many years without pointing out you didn't know how to loop when you did. I had the same experience when I started playing years ago. Today, I EJ because it is cheaper than buying cars, not because I am under any illusion it will make me play better. ------------- https://youtu.be/jhO4K_yFhh8?t=115" rel="nofollow - I like putting heavy topspin on the ball...

Next Level why did I kind of lie? do you mean because I did not say I could not loop until 3 years ago. I did use Sammy alpha and Mendo and Rapid for a long time. But it is true I was very upright and used to drive almost everything off the bounce, I think you mean this bit where I kind of lied.

I used to own quite a few blades, and just recently I went ahead and sold ... every.. single ... one.. of.. them, except my main one. Boy was it tough :) I do have a backup blade, new in the box, sitting and waiting just in case, but I don't think I'll need it anytime soon. My new setup is definitely "40+" ready and instead of wasting money on the blades I now spend money on the lessons :)

More broadly, "only change one thing at a time". If you are testing out rubbers, compare them on the same kind of blade. If you are testing blades, use the same rubber. Amazing how often people don't do this. |

If your plan is to find a racket that better suits your playing style, try this for EJ-ing on a budget:
I managed to do so for a while, then things got a bit out of control and I decided to stop. If you EJ out of curiosity or are a collector, then the method does not apply and you may need professional help to quit. ------------- Nexy Arche & Nittaku Violin LG.

back to ejing, the trouble is wither a slower more controllable set up, is your opponent has slower more controllable balls to deal with. back to the stratus, the search continues. can anyone recommend a good carbon blade, not too fast. what would be a modern joola rossi emotion? carbon and off- but controllable ------------- Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon FH: Tenergy 05fx BH: Spinlord Keiler |
Posted By: wturber
Date Posted: 05/25/2017 at 12:52pm
Sounds reasonable in theory, but in actual matches I notice three things. 1) A slow blade can hit fast. It just requires a bit more effort and or better technique. 2) In the 2000 rating and below categories, I see far more points lost than I see points won. Or to put it in tennis terms, I see few winners and and many unforced errors. 3) Off-speed balls can be as hard to deal with as can ripped, spinny, loops - especially if off-speed balls are placed well. So as a practical matter, I think most players are better served by playing a more controlled and less aggressive game using a slower racket. Of course, this is operating on the narrow assumption that winning is the top priority. I realize that for some, that is not the case. ------------- Jay Turberville www.jayandwanda.com Hardbat: Nittaku Resist w/ Dr. Evil or Friendship 802-40 OX |

To be fair, I had a Korbel that was 95g and I found it to be really slow, even with Tenergy on both sides. As you said, it depends on your level, but also your playing style - blockers and counter attackers can handle stiffer, faster blades more so than spin oriented loopers.

Not a bad option, mog1111. But if you really want some exercise practice chopping fh and bh, having to slide side to side, dash up and back, feather back short pushes and drop shots, staying in a point for 15-20 shots (which used to be the norm), and stepping in to cream any weak or unexpectedly high topspin your opponent gives you. A point is a point is a point. The ball doesn't care. Let your opponent commit suicide. This can be psychologically satisfying, plus you don't have to hit the ball really hard all the time. Unfortunately, with today's turbocharged rubbers, this way to play, once the style of champions with cigarette busting control, has become as extinct as a passenger pigeon. But if you still want a bit of exercise and don't care too much whether you win or lose, by all means have a go. You can still hit the ball hard and fast, and even the loopiest looper will give you a bunny to crush every now and then. ------------- bmann1942 Setup: Mark Bellamy Master Craftsman blade, British Leyland hard rubber |

And you think this is what a faster blade does for you I suppose. Only if you play off the table. Close to the table you need something slower to hit the ball harder unless you block. Also, remember that the faster you release the ball, the faster it comes back at you and the less time you have to reset. This is one of the reasons why many lower rated players struggle with faster blades vs better players, they don't recover fast enough no matter what they use. Faster often means faster vs topspin, slower vs backspin. ------------- https://youtu.be/jhO4K_yFhh8?t=115" rel="nofollow - I like putting heavy topspin on the ball...

yes I get that, but I need something sharp enough so when I take the ball early I feel like its moving fast enough. im not worried about reaction time. once the glue had dried and the euphoria of new equipment wore off on the sae I did not like the feel of how it played. I blocked too much and had to hit too hard somehow. I enjoyed the sharp feel of the rossi emotion a year or two back which is as you know carbon but not too fast. im only thinking wsc or something in that ball park not primorac carbon I used to take the ball early and drive, I can loop a bit but im not good enough so I feel to play to my strengths and improve my weakness a good feeling off- ish carbon blade will make me feel good when im playing. im 47 I should compete with vets not juniors and this feels the way forward ------------- Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon FH: Tenergy 05fx BH: Spinlord Keiler |

These are the words I live by. mog1111, have you tried the Stiga Clipper Wood? I've been switching back and forth between two blades (a 7-ply carbon and a 5-ply all wood) I own but relentlessly researching other blades in pursuit of something 'better'. Eventually I just decided on the Clipper since it took generic qualities (dwell of all wood, some 'sturdiness' of a 7-ply) I liked in both. I figured if it's good enough for majority of players it's good enough for me. It also has a very reasonable price tag. I haven't had much time to play with it but so far so good.

Sure. But changing more than one variable is a way to achieve the perfect setup with minimal number of equipment combinations  . Otherwise, one would have to test at least 20 rubbers on at least 10 of his/her blades (not to mention rubber different thickness and blade different weights and handle styles that may eventually appear to be more tempting) = > 200 setups, easily.By selectively picking the experiments and assuming that there is no additional blade-rubber correlation we reduce the expenditures... later, we have to ask a smarter colleague for advice anyways. ------------- (1) Juic SBA (Fl, 85 g) with Bluefire JP3 (red max) on FH and 0.6 mm DR N Desperado on BH; (2) Yinhe T7 (Fl, 87 g) with Bluefire M3 (red 2.0) on FH and 0.6 mm 755 on BH. |

So ejing slows down but continues. I have used WSC for 2 months and it has resolved some things. I am using H3N fh and H3N or H3 bh on next blade. WSC is too slow with these rubbers, so I have just ordered a well known popular 5 ply wood. new Korbel hoping it will be somewhere between TSPW (too fast) and WSC (tad to slow) We will see. ------------- Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon FH: Tenergy 05fx BH: Spinlord Keiler |

You, I like you Good luck with the Korbel, I actually went from the Korbel to a Violin (via an OSP Virtuoso +) that was also too fast with too little feel for me. I hope I will stick with this setup for a while.

I am versus that 1st rule. 1st rule must be General Conclusion and last rule must give you last point why 1st rule is the most important. Let's think again what must be the 1st rule... |

so im still on hurricane 3 neo. korbel did not like handle since then ive tried celero wood yeo and infinity again I like infinity for looping but need normal hurricane on bh yeo is very powerful blade even with hurricane 3 neo don't like celero much but trying again. I cant believe ive played for 30 years and only just tried Chinese rubber, its so spinny and controllable, I hate euro rubbers now when I try them, bouncy lazy rubbish. ------------- Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon FH: Tenergy 05fx BH: Spinlord Keiler |

You would be surprised how much the easy pace of Euro-Jap rubbers helps/is needed at higher levels - I tried to simply play with an unboosted H3 Neo but to no avail, kept losing to people that I usually beat due to being out paced in counter topspin play ------------- Zhang Jike ALC AN (88g) Tenergy 05 Hard (2.1, B) Tenergy 19 (2.1, R) https://goo.gl/bFWoxW" rel="nofollow - https://goo.gl/bFWoxW |

Just stick with Infinity VPS. I think that's the "do-all" blade of today. I recently switched to it and have been playing very controllable (but at a much higher pace) than before. It's a phenomenal blade you can't go wrong with. ------------- Stiga Infinity VPS (Master): fh/bh - Nittaku Hammond CR max |

I'll never understand you dirty EJs!!! I tried only a handful of equipment but have been using the same setup for years. I got my Timo Boll ALC and tenergy on both sides. That's all I need. Actually, here's a winning strategy to a good setup: Choose any blade and put any Tenergy on it. Done! -------------
