Singles day 11.11 on AliExpress. What would you buy?

[staysmart]

My curiosity got the better of me and I want to try the replica diy w960 or the yasaka power liu jialiang.
What else is interesting there?

 

[Haito]

I want to buy a network cable tester XD If Yuan Licen blade falls bellow 90€ I will also order it.

 

[Ultravisitor]

Just get some 729 battle 3 for the stash. AliExpress not really worth it anymore if you are from Europe. I just buy Rubbers there.

TG2 BS, 388C-2, WP1013 and half a click away to add DHS 08X.

 

[Tyce]

I'm surprised to see new DHS 08x stock... So surprised I'm tempted to actually get one

 

[Haito]

There was this faf around the Jie Chi booster. I need to order next batch of boosters either way. Once I figure out which one I want I will order a bottle of one probably. Alongside a big bottle of Haifu national. Will see how it goes.

 

[Archo]

Big pile of DHS stuff.

I saw some listings for around $65-70 but im curious if theyre "real" as in the review pictures, they seem real pale.

Please do tell!

Please do tell!

Standard Long 5, standard WCQ, a sheet of Xiang Peng STAR National blue sponge and a sheet of non-NEO National.

I figured I might as well try every easily-available forehand H3 version now when they're cheaper. People say Provincial is all you need but I have found advantages in the National rubber. Maybe not worth the money per-se, but I think there really is a capability advantage that opens up a lot in the higher impact shots. I wasn't interested in buying a few other versions I've never tried on my own blade but I can guess how they are.

Also didn't buy any red sheets because strictly speaking my backhand isn't advanced enough to warrant it; impact isn't high enough that I'll benefit from the higher grades right now. I may even play worse with them because they're more elastic in some shots that I want to be more damped for my current skills.

I'm intending to use the Long 5 as the main blade, but I figured screw it, now when the discounts are huge, I might as well buy one more blade that I'll probably like, and it's never bad to have a backup with how flimsy DHS blades are. I really loved the B2 so I doubt I'll not like the others.

I think I'll try to snatch a 7-ply blade and some short pimples rubber to try that.
I'm also looking to try the 729 Hunyuan (hybrid) and let's see if there are other good deals.

Problem with buying SP on Ali is that they don't usually offer sponge thickness options for reverse and SP.
LP they do.
For BH I insist on 1.5 if SP, so the standard 2.1 is not useful for me. So different in the blocking.
Did you find anything tasty?

 

[TTpastor]

I will go with an offensive style so looking for 729 802-xx or Yinhe Uranus for the forehand if they show up for cheap.

I bought one. It's real

I am too busy to wait for the big BS 11.11 promo.
I needed some heatshrink tubes and a mobile phone holder for my ebike. To make the min. limit for the free postage I found a Rxton 3 pro for NZ$ 9.89 .................life is hard 😄

 

[maxtor]

STIGA DNA Platinum for $32 each
STIGA Helix Platinum for $45 each
STIGA DNA Dragon Power for $35 each

 

[Grahf]

a 08x as well, I guess all the brilliant EJ minds think alike...

Do you have a link for the DHS stuff? I'm going back to a mostly DHS setup and I want to eventually give Hurricane 8-20 a try again and would want to see if they have any there since I've never used AliExpress before 😮

I bought from various shops. Global Sports Store, BEO Store, Professional Table Tennis Store IIRC.

No H8-20 on Aliexpress; extremely rare still, not produced in large numbers at all.

The sell started already on Nov 1st. I bought Yinhe T9 and some long pips.
