  1. Tibhar El-p versus El-s (versus Donic Bluefire JP02)

    Thank you. More spinny also means more sensitive to spin from the opponent, which makes it harder to chop from a distance. I think JP02 was the middle ground... But i'm tempted to try the EL-S with a slightly thinner sponge (1,8mm) on my second blade. What makes me doubt is the hardness of El-S...

  2. Donic Bluefire JP02 versus Bluestorm Z2

    Thank you Shakepender and Garrison for your replies. Garrison, you are in the best position to compare both rubbers :-). I loved JP2 because it was good in all fronts. For me, speed was enough for long distance loops as well. You mentioned that JP2 brings more rotation, that convinces me to...

  3. Donic Bluefire JP02 versus Bluestorm Z2

    No Bluefire vs Bluestorm experiences?

  4. Tibhar El-p versus El-s (versus Donic Bluefire JP02)

    I'm also a bit scared that EL-S feels a bit too hard for my liking...

  5. Tibhar El-p versus El-s (versus Donic Bluefire JP02)

    Very helpful comment. Can you also compare those Tibhar rubbers with Donic Bluefire JP02. I'm thinking of sticking to the bluefire, very linear & controllable in all areas Yogibear's comment is a bit contradictory to Baal's comment. Yogi says El-P sometimes feels dead and not bouncy, while Baal...

  6. Tibhar El-p versus El-s (versus Donic Bluefire JP02)

    Anyone who tried both of them? How significant is the difference? I'm modern defender and I wonder which one is best in terms of: -topspin generation (for attacking) -control for the short game and when chopping away from the table If someone can compare one of these two rubbers with Donic...

  7. Donic Bluefire JP02 versus Bluestorm Z2

    Anyone who can compare both rubbers? Speedwise, control/feel, spin generation with plastic balls... I'm modern defender and wonder if Z2 would be an improvement over JP02 in terms of topspin generation (for attacking) and in control for the short game and when chopping away from the table...

  11. Difference between red and black rubber

    That's a very old-fashioned view on evidence. If you consider opinions as irrelevant, why on earth are you on a forum :confused: Send from Mobile Phone via Tapatalk

  12. Interview with Masato Shiono

    Thanks a lot! Here are some of Shiono' recent matches againt Koki Niwa (Japan Open) and the thriller against Ovtcharov (German Open). And his yesterday match in the Grand finals in Dubai against Kim Minseok. Unfortunately he lost today so he didn't reach the SF against Ma Long today...

  13. Interview with Masato Shiono

    For those interested, with the help of Donic Japan I managed to organize an interview with the Japanese defender Masato Shiono, one of last year's revelations. The result is published at OOAK Table Tennis Forum specialized in defensive styles: http://ooakforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=24574 I...

  14. Shiono vs. Joo Sae Hyuk

    His backhand rubber is still the same (TSP Curl P4). I'm not sure whether his new FH rubber (Bluefire JP01) or his new blade (Donic Defplay) affect his performance. A the German Open he already made the change and if you look at the following match between Shiono and Ovtcharov you can hardly say...
