Are you sure that Chevanti will also produce highest spin reversal? When using antispin. If yes, why? Which character of this model helps it to produce highest spin reversal. Also which antispin do you recommend for backhand and which thickness?
Well, there are many Antis you could play and there are enough woods at Re-Impact with which you could play normal Antis like Super Anti or Toni Hold for example. But for the Smooth Anti there are no reasonable woods yet that could put the principle of rolling resistance into big spin reversal on the wood itself; to achieve flutter effects or odd ball flight curves again, whose balls really get an untypical and very disturbing course for the opponent. The problem here is related to the rather low-spin and new plastic balls, which with the latest developments also fly cleaner and cleaner in the ball flight curve and with the many tables that still play well to destroy spin.
If before I was able to exploit this treacherous imbalance behaviour to develop high interference options, because the ball could dive down quite fast afterwards, I have to be careful with the new inventions that the balls must have a certain ball flight length. But they must also remain extremely flat during play, if possible, so that they cannot be immediately attacked again by the opponent.
I therefore think that it is very important for a glantis player that the balls cannot be attacked again immediately by the opponent. Otherwise he cannot prepare a strategy for his safe hand. The cue balls must always be able to hit in the 25-40 cm zone in front of the baseline, so that on the one hand they cannot lose any spin and on the other hand they must be played so short when blocking that the cue balls do not rise but remain flat.
This is the principle of the new Chevanti, which, depending on the technique used, should also produce a very good cut reversal.
He should be able to support the advantages of a very linear forehand, which could be played very well even with maximum playing surfaces, not only directly at the table but also powerfully from half distance, while the backhand at the table can be supported by short block attacks, but also from the back with passive defence
and also brave strike attacks should be alternately applicable. The new Chevanti not only takes the speed out of the backhand when you want to play more passively, but also in the forehand, so that I can also play spinlessly with spin-rich attacking rubbers when I want to reduce the speed. But it must also be the case that the blade builds up speed very quickly if you want to play speed on the forehand again, whereas the Chevanti will actually increase the speed again as if you had several gears available.
How something like this can work, I am unfortunately not allowed to reveal here, because it is my trade secret. But that it will work is on the one hand due to the high static charge of the hitting surfaces themselves and on the other hand, if you do less, the wood can also slow down the tempo again, so that you can actually play more passively.
It is therefore logical that the static charge must also be reduced in the case of high passivity in order to be able to play spin freely.
But as already mentioned, the abilities of a good preparation are not only due to high disruptive effects, but also to the possibility to combine many technical combinations in order to remain more capable of action. So I have to be able to force my opponent to draw and for this I need the right combination of wood and combination rubbers as (gl)anti.
If you know, for example, what difficulties a glantis player has in laying his own cut, you will always find a way to set up your game in such a way that an anti-player cannot take advantage of it. However, if I can keep the pace very passively and cutlessly with a spin-rich attacking rubber, the anti-player gets the chance to confuse the opponent with the alternating combination and use this to his advantage. For this kind of game you have to build a bat that is on the one hand able to generate even more spin by high speed, so that the opponent's back balls have to rise, or on the other hand to generate a high level of passivity on both sides, which can be played spinless on both sides by reducing speed. But this does not mean that you cannot play a sharp undercut with the forehand or backhand. It is always relevant to the surface to see which advantages the player himself wants to use.
The forehand of the Chevanti is relatively catapult-free, while the backhand plays a bit more directly, but can take the speed very well. The relatively hard stroke cannot let the ball starve on the own half, but carries the ball safely into the opponent's half.
So now every antisplayer can force his opponent to play very clean balls. If he can't do that, the balls rise and are easy prey for the dominant player. The only difficulty is that you have to be able to play relatively angle-prone game angles optimally because of the special depth of the game balls, in order to make especially spin-rich, fast game shots reproducible. As the new competition blade plays similar to a carbon blade in the forehand, it is equipped with the excellent ball control of a re-impact blade, which normal carbon blades do not have. This means that the competition racket always has excellent control and a very large sweetspot behaviour, which is unrivalled.
A major disadvantage, however, would be that you would have to get used to other weight classes with the chevanti. This means that with quite passive strokes there is also a noticeable top-heaviness, which however requires a straightforwardly built racquet in order to be able to generate a lot of speed and spin in aggressive play, which is difficult to bring back from the opponent and can then quickly fly over the table as the game progresses. But I have a new idea to balance the shape of the racket even in passive play in such a way that the high top-height will be noticed very little in passive play.
But an even bigger problem for me has become the Corona crisis. In Germany they have set the lockdown until 10th January and maybe it will come to a complete standstill again, which will be extended until the end of January. This means that I have to cope with 4 months of order standstill in 2020 Germany, so that no amateur games can or could take place because of closed sports halls. Since I can work alone in my company, I can pre-fabricate many orders which can be used later when the games are played again. At Re-Impact, however, due to the nature of the system, only one-offs are produced, which are only manufactured after the order is received. So anyone who cannot play yet could order now.
This is why re-Impact offers an unlimited 14-day, trial period abroad even 20 days after receipt, so that every player can have the game replaced later, when the testing possibilities are available again.
For your orders I will reduce some of the online products at noon today by 10 - 20 % Christmas discount, valid until 31 December 2020, when we will have to change the prices again anyway, because the German VAT rate will rise again to 19 %.
In this way you can help me to get enough orders that will certainly get me through a difficult time, because I cannot, like other companies, apply for emergency aid or state-guaranteed bank loans. In the case of a limited company this would be tantamount to a declaration of bankruptcy and would subsequently damage my reputation and my product.
In addition, the German government is making it quite difficult for your German companies, allegedly to strengthen the craft sector.
In this context, master craftsman's degrees have been introduced again since 1.1.2020. As a wooden toy maker for custom-made products, my registered business in Germany is now covered by a tolerated protection of the status quo, which is valid as long as the business continues. I am therefore dependent on having to make sufficient profits with my business in order not to run into a business shortfall.
I do honest and I have been doing very good work for over 21 years of my business. I am also used to having to live with a constant fear in my back in order to always remain competitive.
But I am dependent on the beloved hobby of table tennis players for my business, who want to buy my products even during legally required match-free periods and I am not afraid to address my biggest problem, which is what I have at the moment.
I would therefore like to thank each of my customers who are now willing to support me in these difficult times with orders of their choice.
Thank you very much, Merry Christmas, please stay healthy and have a good new year,
in this sense, Achim

Test play of a re-impact test player from a European country
Hello Achim,
yesterday I tested the wood, one in advance, I was very pleased.
forehand I played a Goliath in 2,1mm, backhand Gorilla 0,6 mm
Short to the forehand, very controlled and very good spin possible, also blocking works very well. Speed was also optimal, I personally got along with it very well and could pull very safely and had a higher hit rate than normal.
backhand:
As you surely know, the Gorilla is one of the most difficult GLANTI to control, but with a very high potential for disturbance.
The wood tamed the Gorilla so that you can play very controlled and even lead a ball.
The ball bounced flat off the bat and off the table. Also the length of the balls was optimal, the spin reversal was now not noticeably higher than with another blade. But you simply cannot expect this from a plastic ball either. Just as outstanding are the offensive options that are possible. So it is very easy to counter a counter ball, which is always the Achilles heel of a GLANTI.
My general conclusion, an outstanding GLANTI blade, which I personally would not change.
Greetings Claus

. Pushing is good but spinless (very deceptive for some opponents). I have tried this rubber on a Clipper, and that has a more direct feeling, while control is better with the Chevanti.
