I test out the blade, re-glue some new rubbers, and play a fun two person USATT tourney with the new blade. 🏓 Equipment: Blade: DHS W968 Forehand Rubber: DHS Hurricane (Blue Sponge) Backhand Rubber: Dignics 09c Timestamps: 0:00 - Preview 0:30 - Picking up the new blade 0:50 - W968 Unboxing 1:40 - Setting up the blade 3:40 - Lesson with Kuba 5:30 - Working on FH flick 9:45 - Backhand training 12:25 - First impressions of the blade 16:30 - Boosting my Hurricane 20:20 - Getting back from work trip to set-up blade 22:45 - Assembling blade with new rubbers 24:40 - Snow day audible (no lesson with Coach J) 24:55 - Testing out the new rubbers 28:20 - Tourney day intro 33:40 - Match 1 Singles vs Smacker Pong (1785 USATT) 39:45 - Match 1 Doubles 41:10 - Post-match 1 thoughts 42:10 - Match 2 Singles vs Twin Pong (1960 USATT) 48:00 - Match 2 Doubles 50:10 - Post-match 2 thoughts 53:00 - Match 3 Singles vs Canada Pong (1960 USATT) 59:00 - Match 3 Doubles 1:01:00 - Post-match 3 thoughts 1:07:40 - Match 4 Singles vs Control Pong (1920 USATT) 1:07:00 - Match 4 Doubles 1:11:00 - Outro
