Pros
  • Hard
  • Fast
A great blade with excellent speed. The blade feels great when you hit the ball. It works excellently with Tenergy 05 rubbers. I would definitely recommend this blade to anyone who is experienced enough to control the blades high speeds. This is my definite favorite out of all the blades I've tried.

Vega pro is a very spinny rubber with excellent speed, the control aspect of the rubber isn't amazing though (quite hard to control).

Sriver is good rubber for people starting out in table tennis, it along with Mark V were extremely popular and and are still popular now, they are both an extremely nice and easy to use rubber that will always be popular among people learning to play table tennis.

I tried this blade as my friend was using it at the club. The control is excellent. It is very lightweight and has very good feeling and well balanced. From close to the table and mid distance the you can spin the ball very well, the only problem was its lack in speed. But this could have been down to the rubbers, however it was Tenergy 05 on the forehand. I think this blade is ideal for developing strokes and improving your game from intermediate levels.

Pros
  • Mid-Far distance
Cons
  • Price
Great for Mid-far table play, since its topsheet acts more like a spring it helps when performing either counterlooping or driving far away from the table. It's great for players who value driving your way out of a rally, rather than doing full force attacks.

Pros
  • Looping
  • Counterlooping
  • offense
Cons
  • Price
One of the best Offensive rubbers ever existed. It can perform all offensive shot with ease, providing the player with the consistency required for hard shots. Gives the player so much room to work offensive plays in any situation.

No wonder why everyone uses T05 on the FH.

Pros
  • Consistent
Cons
  • touchplay
I am currently using the Acuda S3 as a T64 replacement (too expensive), and its works fine. It can perform passive blocks with ease, and have very consistent looping capability. One of the drawbacks is due to its softness and grippy rubber it makes difficult to perform short pushes or touch play near the table.

Pros
  • Touch play
  • 3rd ball opening
  • Counterhits
Cons
  • 5th ball
  • counterlooping
A very nice blade, with lots of control, feeling and speed. The blade is great for those players who love to stay close to table and keep constant pressure at the opponent. I could not get used to it to either do confident 5th attacks (after opening with a 3rd ball) or counterlooping.
I think its because of the hardness of the blade (5ply, 2 carbon with the inner wood layer being extremely large), so the dwell time is much shorter than the usual.

Pros
  • Consistent
  • FH Driving
  • Counter looping
Cons
  • touch play
  • short game
One of the best blades I have used. The combination of the soft wood layers and the hard wood layers make it a great blade. Perfect for athlete development, since it can perform well in any situation. Since the blade is a little faster, heavier and hard it can be difficult to perform touch play (short pushes, flicks and stop pushes).

Pros
  • Spin
  • Durability
  • Control
Cons
  • Throw angle
It's a pretty good rubber that goes much better with faster and more flexible blades. My Donic Persson Powerallround paired much better with Mark V then the Stiga Allround NCT (harder and slightly slower)

Incredibly durable as well. The sheet is still very much playable after 6 months of practicing 2-3 times a week. It still has a very good grip.

It's a bit hard though and the throw angle is lower. The rubber seems to be more suited for the older Backhand loop (more vertical) than the newer one. Perhaps the regular version of Mark V might be better on Forehand but anyone using an ALL or (ALL+ and hard) rated blade would probably find this a bit too slow after they can loop in match situations.

You can also generate a very respectable amount of spin, but you need a good touch for it.

Pros
  • Controllable
  • Good weight
  • Good power
Cons
  • Low throw angle
  • Very hard sponge
Sigma 1 Pro is a fast rubber from Xiom with a hard sponge. The sponge is similar in hardness to that of Tenergy 05 however, the throw angle is noticeably lower. Despite the lower throw it is still very fast so topsins and counterloops are not hard to land. It has a lot of control despite being so fast and is good to block with if you know what you are doing. This rubber is a definite recommend for either forehand or backhand.

Pros
  • Very ligh
  • Excellent dwell
I use this blade with Tenergy 05FX on both sides, blade is very light, very well balanced, very good control, very fast and it produces lot of spin due to be very soft and has prolong dwell time. You can play short game on the table or go long distance off the table and it does all that. Very good control since you held the ball literally on the blade and the feeling when you hit the ball is great. I sometimes think that blade is connected to my body, it is very expensive and since is made from fiber it is easy to damage the blade if you hit the table. Overall the blade is excellent, definitely for the pro players which I am not but it fits for my stile of playing.

Pros
  • Glue feel
  • BH soft
  • Lighter weight
Cons
  • No Harder choice
Advertised as Mid Hard but indeed Mid Soft on the sticker. Have it on HH3 Cpen FH and works well enough. But I bet any Harder will suit FH more. Mid Soft or Soft is better left for BH unless you are long time soft rubber users which may be the main target group of this rubber.



I have not weight the rubber alone but the whole sealed package. TG3-60 is 87g which is 10g less than H3-50. I also have H3-50 Soft on another HH3 RPB but TG3-60 is simply better in every way. The lighter weight alone is a big plus. I can't get the same feel, speed or control from H3-50 Soft even on BH. Only spin is comparable. I don't like the same red sponge TA3 either.



Throw of TG3-60 is medium. Have to lift upward a bit to clear the net in times. TG3 Neo has higher throw in comparison. May help with booster to reach Big Dipper level. Durability is definitely a non-issue and better than BD. Sponge is lively but don't expect the same modern Euro/Jap bounce. Same Chinese rubber techniqe applies. Hope DHS will give us Harder version in the future.

Right now I am playing division 4 for my club. Tenergy 80 is really bouncy but it is really good for off table looping and counter. I use Tenergy 80 on both side of my blade and it allows me to win most of my matches.
