OOAK Table Tennis Forum

I've watched this one, but found myself focusing more on Kreanga game (waiting/hoping for him to unleash a whopper from his BH), rather than Jian Fei's, even though I play with LP (including CK531A) ... Didn't see much of that BH, in this match

So it means 531a ox works much worse with the new ball?....[/quote]

I feel it is more difficult to make backspin with ox since the celluloid era although plastic balls are a little better now than the first attempts and I lke the grip of the Tibhar 40+ that we use now.
The ck531a might not offer enough grip in ox for a chopping game now.
I have meant to test the newer green packet version which is said to be softer/slower with more grip compared to the yellow packet that Sun was using back then and will try this in the summer

Then,it also means that for blocking at the table it is much worse ?,....I am asking about this because when the new plastic ball was introduced , I had a well worn down Palio ck with very , very little friction and I seem to remember it still worked really fine,... with that Palio ck used with the celluloid era with little friction and reduced speed I could trade blows with high level opponents,....

Maybe someone here is still using it for blocking at the table and can explain if it is worth revisiting ,.....

Incidentally,The choppers in my area do not use it ,.... PR1 , Feint Long mainly,...
