Filus, Ruwen born 14.02.1988 in Bückeburg, Lower Saxony, Germany is 1.85 m and 80 kg.
Ruwen's best Result were at the 2006 European Youth Champion
Ruwin Filus uses Butterfly Rubber: Tenergy 05; Feint Long III on a Timo Boll Spark blade (ALL; 5 Wood plies + 2 Arylate layers).
Many would say tenergy 05 is not a chopping rubber. OK there may be easy chopping rubbers out there, with none of the catapult of tenergy 05, but when you get used to tenergy 05 it is one of the most scary chopping rubbers you can chop with. The spin is incredible. When you decide to not chop you can consistantly counter loop from a distance with ease and almost make you think that you don't need chopping rubbers ever again.
He used to use the Butterfly Jonyer Hinoki (OFF; 5 Hinoki wood plies) blade with speed glued Butterfly Bryce as his forehand rubber for aggressive attacking and his backhand rubber was Butterfly Feint Long II which is a Defensive long pimpled rubber.
Even Choppers use the stuff, Ruwen chops and loops with it on his forehand and twiddles to produce some suprising shots. Unexpectedly breaking the rhythm with the long pimple on one side. In this video though you can Kuzmin, Fedor of Russia winning the match with Tenergy 64, Tenergy 64 both sides of Boll ALC (ST)

very cool controlled looping man wow
Such a youth with such chopping control. Sure he misses a few but man it looks like fun right? I am not so sure if it is the best chopping rubber table tennis, but if you practise enough then you can chop and creat extreme spin. Just stop changing blades dam it.
best forehand chop rubber
Tenergy 05 is probably not the best forehand chop rubber you will come across but this guy chops so well with it! I think chinese dead tacky rubbers are best for chopping, but tenergy 64 is not bad if you plan to loop mostly from far back and occasionally chop with your forehand.
choppers
i reckon all choppers should be lined and shot when they touch their first table tennis bat however, in equity, anyone using long pimple should be shot first !
i have nothing else to add
I am going to study and practice.
I need some pay back for the spanking I got a couple of weeks ago.
This is good video. Notice how fast Kuzmin must swing his arm up very quickly to override the back spin. Kuzmin is not simply opening his paddle. Kuzmin is hitting the ball such that his top spin is more than the back spin on the ball. If Kuzmin's top spin is fast enough to match the speed of the back spin the back spinning ball, the ball will not apply any force downwards along the surface of the paddle. There is no high throw either but Kuzmin does get the benefit of the Magnus effect on the returned ball. If Kuzmin's paddle hits the ball fast enough such that he increases the spin then the same net force that increases the spin results in even more Magnus effect and also increases the 'throw'. I know I am being a geek again.
