I see you're location is in the USA, did you have to pay tariffs on stuff from prott? I might order from them once my current stash of H3's run out maybe try out the star versions since they're cheaper than at tt11, skyline national also looks interesting.

Looking for an inner fiber blade and just seeing this thread about the Chrome XAXi being a W968 alternative. So far from what I've read the Chrome blade doesn't seem to live up to the hype of the AJH TMXi Pro/W968. Only the ST handle is available for the AJH TMXi Pro on TT11 and I've only ever...

Does anyone have a list of blades that are less head-heavy(just because of physics I understand that once rubbers are on there's no such thing as handle heavy) or at least with similar weight balance as the Viscaria? I don't mind whether the suggestion is all-wood vs inner carbon vs outer...

i'm not familiar with gewo gear. any suggestions from them? for joola i have heard good things about tronix acc used as a BH rubber

I've seen the uncut rubbers of the Omega 7 and 8 Euro to be the same weight(impressive since 7 Euro is 42 degree and 8 Euro is 45 degree) and the 7 Pro and 8 Pro seem to be within 1g of each other as well. Omega 5 line seem to all be heavy comparatively for their hardness level. 8 Pro and Euro...

Does anyone have a breakdown of the Xiom Omega line or have experience with the V, VII and VIII? Still looking for a backhand rubber. Saw some reviews on TT11 blog and Omega 5 Asia and Tour were reviewed favorably. Omega 7 and Omega 8 Euro and Pro seem to be popular choices for backhand too...

Oh ok so it really is just a normal H3 Neo OS, but with good QC? Harder than 39 deg I would probably need to boost 😔 Thanks for the info! TT-japan has great prices, but idk how much in tariffs it would be if I ordered from there.

Turbo Blue seems too heavy for me. Have you (or anyone else in this thread) ever tried 8701? This one https://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/nittaku-hurricane-neo-3-8701 I think it has a Japanese Nittaku sponge and apparently it's between 38 and 39 degrees(conflicting info from different...

anyone know what kanak was using this tournament? is he still on vis super alc and dignics?

Thanks for the info! I will try a sheet of Vega China when my H3 needs to be replaced. And yeah I agree in match situations most us amateurs do not have clean enough footwork to engage the H3 optimally. It only feels good(90-100%) in training because we know where the ball is traveling and what...

How long do you have in between boosts? It's advertised that the boosting effect last as long as 2-3 months, is this true in your opinion? And when the boost effect wears off how does it play? Used Haifu boosters in the past and had to boost every month basically

Man that's sad, I know there's no true alternative to a good sheet of boosted H3, but are there any viable alternatives out there? Some rubbers I've seen get mentioned are Quanshibao F1, Pinyi Cuifeng, Jupiter 3 Tour(aka blue sponge, aka National), Vega China, Sanwei Target National(silver...

Is the poorer QC also the case with Provincial Orange Sponge?

How's the durability/longevity of the J1? And is it close enough to the H3 that if I didn't wanna boost the J1 could be an alternative for boosted H3? Seems to me they are similar from your description

What's your opinion on STN(this one? https://www.megaspin.net/store/default.asp?pid=sanwei-target-national), vs Pinyi Cuifeng vs Jupiter 3 Tour. I know you discounted the Jupiter 3 Tour on the basis of it being factory boosted, but I've heard it lasts for at least 3 months so it being pre-tuned...
