What are some cool newer rubbers on aliexpress to test?

[TensorBackhand]

My friend said his company is giving him some budget to order table tennis equipment. He asked me what are some cool hot new rubbers from aliexpress that I wouldn't normally get for myself.

Any good recommendations for fh and bh?

Im thinking: Xuperman Powerplay X, DF Polestar for fh

Loki Kirin 5, DF Volant 2 for bh

Don't know what you mean by 'newer' rubbers but I've tested few of chinese aliexpress rubbers. I'd recommend :
DF Volant Phoenix, Yinhe Big Dipper, Yinhe Moon Blue 12 for FH
Yinhe Moon Medium Hard for BH
Sanwei Target Pro 3 for both, I guess

Yeah ive tested each one of those already. I mean newer as in something that is new and likely havent seen around before, something that you might think would be cool but maybe wouldnt go buy for yourself

You like DFVP on the FH, you'll like X P-X even more.

Btw. what's your opinion on Rxton 9 40,5 for FH?

And, a bit unrelated, but when I'm at it - in one of your recent videos, when you FH loop, one issue - well, imo - is that at the point of contact your right leg is completely stretched. You could try standing wider, and hit not when the body/leg is already so high. Instead, your body will be lower, but the arm/hand higher. You could try experimenting. I choose this way for formulating it ;-) Cheers.

Yasaka Hovering Dragon, special edition. Great on both sides.

Some LP on Ali are quite interesting but maybe that is beyond the scope of experiment.

Yes, you know I've thought about this before. I think part of the problem is that due to my height, the ball comes high up on my arm. So I begin my stroke kinda high and end even higher. So that kinda leads me to that somewhat unusual style.

I've actually never tried R9 40.5 yet. I tried H39, and it didn't really stand out to me. The speed was a bit low, so I didn't feel like I could generate the power as with other rubbers.

DF VP, DF 218, Sanwei Target Turbo, are all much more powerful rubbers.

Doesn't X P-X need booster and is very heavy?

I know, it's more of a suggestion of what you can experiment with. E.g. some Japan or Korean players are also not very tall. You'll find the balance in time...

Understand... I mean I disagree, because I like R9 more than these, but understand ;-)

Imo, all these need a bit of booster. The dense ("no" bubble) sponge is better with it (I use only 1 layer). The X P-X is not very light, but still not as heavy as Nittaku H3PTB. But normal H3 is lighter, if you need it... My setup is now 200g, blade is 91,5g now (it was 93g but needed repair), and I use quite some glue. But don't know exactly how much the sheets are.

That is pretty interesting. Is it basically just a ESN 55d Hybrid made for Chinese market?

Yep, and it's designed specifically for backhand. So 55d sounds like a lot and i'm interested how such hard rubber would play.
