Where did you get this cleaner?

Thanks all for your suggestions, plenty of rubbers that I haven't had on my radar. Unfortunately, it seems that my only local options from all rubbers listed above are Vega Europe and Hurricane 3 H37. The rest can definitely be ordered (from TT11 or other sources) but due to minimal order...

Once again I wanted to ask the collective wisdom of this website. Looking for an alternative to Rakes Z on the backhand. Not sure I love having hybrid on BH to begin with, but my biggest gripe with it is the weight. I would like to reduce the weight of the overall setup (as it's quite...

This sounds amazing! What rubbers do you have on it?

I definitely found myself in this situation a few times during league games at the club, so I can see how it could be easy to fall into this trap. I am sure you have your own strategies and I apologize if it sounds basic to you, but my old coach would say to never try to hit a huge topspin if...

I flipped a racket to try it for one day, I can get a better bounce for sure, but cannot achieve the same spin + my serves and short game suffered. I am sure I can get used to it fairly quickly though and maybe I will try another one (less bouncy one) in the future. However, I keep going back to...

I don’t know where other people bought theirs, I got mine from TableTennis11. Not sure about AliExpress

Thanks everyone for your opinions and support! Again, apologies for a double post, the other thread resurfaced and lives its own life now

He is not selling anything and the club has a small shop that is run by other people who sell a bunch of random stuff, including DHS Hurricane rubbers. There are a few coaches in my club so I think it won’t be an issue to find a different one.

It sounded like it wasn’t specific to me, only in so far as I won’t have the time to master it since I am not a pro on the Chinese provincial/national team, who trains 40 hrs/week.

Thanks everyone. You are all very helpful and supportive!

Background: very much a beginner, have been playing for a 1 year after 20+ year hiatus from the sport (used to play on my high school team). Getting regular coaching for the last 6 months, 2 months ago upgraded from a premade racket to a custom one with commercial DHS H3Neo on FH and hybrid...

Thanks all. I think I am going to try it on BH in combination with H3N on the FH. I can always flip the racket around to test it on FH too. Fingers crossed I won’t get it even harder than expected (softer would be a nice surprise).

Question for Chinese rubber experts. I ordered Yinhe Jupiter 3 Asia (40 degree) to try on my training blade, it's still in shipment by Aliexpress. It was meant to be for the forehand side (hence the hardness). But now I started to think that since I am still very much in the process of proper...
