Well, managed to get 2 hours of practice today with my teammate. We usually do the routine of pushes, H and X drills, topspin, etc. I think we both got better :). I am starting to finally use the entire body to generate topspin on my forehand instead of just my arm, but it's a slow process. Got...

Volleyball !!! :D I love playing it, actually been playing it longer than table tennis. My mother used to play when she was a student so I suppose I got it from her. I've been playing with my friend (who is in the same table tennis club as me :D, as matter of fact, we got our second doubles win...

Good evening everyone :). Just won by 4th league match in a row :D. Finally my win percantage is at 50%, so I can stop hiding in a cave from other members of my team :P. My forehand still needs some work :( but I finally managed to learn how to perform backhand flick to recieve serve. Our next...

I currently live in Bytom, in Silesia. I drive to Gliwice to train and play for the club.

Had my first league single match in my life :D. I'm slightly bald person on the front in dark shirt. Representing 3rd team (Team C) of my club :). I'm in middle of losing some weight here, so my footwork is a bit slow. Lost that set 17-19 :/, very close match. In the end I won 3:1. Using my new...

From what I remember, Rakza 7 has 46 degrees sponge hardness, while Tenergy 05 has 47-48 degrees (T05 Hard 53 degrees). 1-2 degrees is not much of a difference if you ask me, but I might be wrong. From what I read, Rakza 7 is one of the first rubbers that come in different pools for Tenergy...

I can suggest Yasaka Rakza series :). I've been using Rakza 7 for 2 years now and they are very durable. Great control and little grip for flicks and topspins far from table. Also, cheaper than tenergy

To get back to OP of this thread, I think most of us can agree that Nittaku 40+ Premium is better than Butterfly 40+ (whether S40 or G40). I'd suggest you buy Nittaku ones. Maybe they are expensive, but you get value for your money and they last long.

Those were the ones I bought : https://revspin.net/balls/dhs-40-plus-3-star.html I am not buying DHS balls again. Nittaku 3* Premium are the best for me, I recently bought Nittaku J-Top training ball and it is good.

I have played with both DHS 40+, Nittaku 3* Premium, Andro 3*, etc. and I can say without any doubt, worst ones were DHS 40+ 3* balls. I bought 12 of those and 3 broke during the same training session. 2 more broke 2 weeks later. I never had such bad batch of balls. Bought Nittaku 3* Premium...

Chinese and courtesy !? :D Good one

Koki Niwa was using it when he was using Butterfly equipment. But I don't know any current pros using it. Guess 05 is so popular Butterfly could sell only that and no one would notice.

Thank you everyone for advice. I've decided to buy Rakza 7 to replace the cut one and Tenergy 25 out of curiosity :). I read some more about different Tenergy rubbers and I think it suits my game the most (backhand counter and topspin). Will provide some feedback when I've used it in training.

Hello everyone. I am currently playing with Stiga Azalea Allround with Yasaka Rakza 7 on both sides, but recently my backhand rubber got cut when I was trying to do a chop close to the table. Since I never played with Tenergy before, I thought about buying one and trying it out. I am thinking...

I'd go with Stiga Azalea Offensive. Great OFF- blade, quite flexible with great feel. It is all-wood blade, but it quite fast.
