  1. Gewo Nexxus EL Pro 43 vs Tenergy 05 fx

    Hello again, I finally tried the el 43 pro for about a week and I think that I have some opinions now which may be useful for someone in the future :) I will compare the rubbers largely based on the categories I mentioned before - But I will also take the liberty to stray a bit. 1) arc - el 43...

  2. Gewo Nexxus EL Pro 43 vs Tenergy 05 fx

    Hello people, I have been using the venerable tenergy 05 fx for the last 8 months or so for both sides on an all+blade and I really love the control and feel that it offers. Recently I was suggested by someone to try the Nexxus EL Pro 43 as an alternative that is around 18 euros cheaper. I...

  3. How much do ping pong coaches charge per hour, where you live?

    I live in Prague, Czech Republic. I had the good fortune of having had a few coaching sessions with Jiri Vrablik (former WR 127 and ex bundesliga player). He charged me something around 40 euros an hour.

  4. The philosopher’s stone of backhand rubbers

    Thank you ! I think it is a great rubber to stick with since my game is actually improving with this :)

  5. The philosopher’s stone of backhand rubbers

    Small update: I had the chance to buy a little-used sheet of tenergy 05 fx and after trying it out I was surprised and it wasn’t a surprise of the unpleasant sort (mostly). Pro: lower effort attacking shots are of higher quality and more safe than harder rubbers for me (i.e more spin and the...

  6. The philosopher’s stone of backhand rubbers

    significant grip deterioration in highly humid halls has been my experience with the hybrid mk too

  9. The philosopher’s stone of backhand rubbers

  10. The philosopher’s stone of backhand rubbers

    Hi, yes I should have stated that earlier. I use a battle II national orange sponge on my backhand. I like it but the lower throw angle seems to play against me whenever I am getting tired. I usually really like to loop hard from close to the table using the backhand and I feel that with...

  11. The philosopher’s stone of backhand rubbers

    I am looking for what may be the philosopher’s stone of backhand rubbers. I need something super grippy, high throw and soft (maybe below 47 degrees of ESN hardness). Bonus points for durability and affordability

  12. Sudden loss of tackiness in battle II national

    Any idea why this happens btw ? I would like to avoid this situation in the future (if the cause is extraneous that is)

  13. Sudden loss of tackiness in battle II national

    So this is a bit strange. I have a 6-7 month old battle II national blue sponge on my FH and a 3.5 months old battle II national orange sponge on my BH...until last week both rubbers were quite tacky and it was possible to lift a clean ball up in the air for 3-4 seconds. But just last week, in...

  14. Hybrid rubbers similar to Tibhar el-s in terms of throw, catapult and easy spin

    Hello everyone, I am posting this on behalf of one of my clubmates. He is using el-s on his forehand and backhand for quite sometime now and he loves it. However sometimes there are issues with ball slippage. Does anyone have any suggestions on a hybrid/higher grip rubber that behaves the most...

  15. hybrid rubbers for backhand

    Thank you everyone for your valuable input. I have the possibility to buy a sheet of bluegrip S2 for a super cheap price, so I also wanted to ask also if anyone has any experience with it. I will otherwise go with the hurricane 8 80
