Marcus in the video below uses the same blade (Stiga Carbonado 90) and BH rubber (DMS Reflection 1,2 mm) as I, but a H3 on FH. This is from the first round of the Swedish Championships:

(Click on the green tab to unlock and then once again).
Stiga Perform ABS-ball was used.
He had som troubles with his FH rubber and missed more attacks than I think he normally does.

Also, here is an interesting match with Linus Strömberg who I think uses Dornenglanz ox on BH:

Tomorrow I hope there will be a match between Fabian Åkerström and Truls Möregårsh filmed .

Ok, could you not create an account?

When you have done that you can search for Fabian and find a few vidz with Mr Åkerström from Swedish highest league . Oh, and search for Satoshi Aida also .

Today we ended our season. Not good... horrible team matches and I am not to satisfyed with my own playing these last weeks... I need to work on my stamina and legs, and loose some weight, so I can move around quicker. And I have a strong feel about tacky FH rubber, I feel I relaly need that now...

Anyhow, today I also got to play against the best player I have ever faced (by far): Hampus Söderlund (his little brother Simon Söderlund plays in Luka Mladenovic team in German second league). Hampus is in the national team and plays some tournaments, even though he mainly plays in French league I think. Last season he played highest league in Sweden with 14-9 win-loss ratio.

Here he is against Kenta (Hampus was around #150 in the world at the time):


Well... I can tell you he plyed a little faster than I am used to.... And his serves... ... so low and short, or blistering fast and long. Sometimes lots of spin, sometimes no spin and I had no clue . And when I go to attack, he blocked perfectly to my cross over point or just looped back, placed in one of the corners...

Oh... and I filmed it

Me making a fool aout of myself :


Now a break from league matches... Next up is to get new FH rubber and perhaps try MP Power Pipes for awhile.

Got outclassed there mate He gave you no opportunity (at all) to take your game to him. A typical scenario for us all when we meet elite opponents way above our standard

Yes, I sure did. That was the first time I had the opportunity to play someone that good, did not know what to expect. He has played 10 singles in our league this season an no one got closer than 8 to get a set from him.

Though he lost against Matsudaira in the video you shared above, it was a very good performance from him in that match

Good match against hampus mate.
Re your league season-do you need to change gear or is it your fitness that you are worried about.

Both. Need to get in better shape ( I usually am in good shape in September and then after Christmas I loose it , so even this season).

I think I need another FH rubber to more focus on spin and placement instead of speed. I win very few points from fast loops, placement and more arc and spin is much more important. A slow loop is much more difficult to anticipate innterms of speed and spin, most opponents lose their timing when I loop thin and slow with lots of spin. If I loop with more speed and less spin they use the speed and block it back and I am in trouble...

Also, I want more spin in my serves...
