  1. Why do some brands have products that are not on their website or catalogs?

    I was wondering the same thing. Because of this, I could never find much useful information about my Yasaka Atletico Spin Pro, so I just bought it, gave it a try, liked it, and decided to keep it. Even now, I'm still not 100% sure what kind of wood or carbon it uses 😅

    Review by 'Dronnken' on item 'Zyre 03'

    Zyre 03 — First Impressions Just wanted to share my first impressions of the Zyre 03. This was my first time testing it, and I’ve only had about two hours of training with it so far, so obviously this isn’t a long-term review yet. I’m using a YASAKA ATLETICO SPIN PRO, with the Zyre 03 in 2.7...

  3. FH Rubber with high Arc ?

    I’d say the Stiga Helix Hybrid XH has the highest arc out of all of them. Personally, I’ve only tried the Omega 8 China, and I wouldn’t say it has a high arc. It’s more of a medium throw, at best.

  4. DHS Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial 38° Blue Sponge completely unboosted how does it really play?

    You might want to try the XUPERMAN POWERPLAY-X in 39° or 40°. It’s about $25 on prott.vip. Don’t bother with booster at first—once you play and hit the ball hard, the sponge will naturally soften up and gain elasticity. The tackiness will last quite a while if you cover it with a film or...

  5. What is this blade's structure?

    Looks like a 3‑ply wood + 2‑carbon construction. Kind of like a Primorac Carbon, but with a super thin outer ply. Honestly, it feels more like a typical 5‑ply wood + 2‑carbon blade, except they skipped the middle wood plies and just left the core, the carbon, and the outer layer. :unsure:

  6. How to know if I prefer a short or long dwell time?

    Actual contact time in table tennis is virtually fixed at just a few milliseconds, meaning what players perceive as "dwell time" is really just residual vibration. Spin doesn't increase because the ball stays on the paddle longer, but because of a larger contact area. When the rubber, sponge...

  8. Does this blade require sealing Victas Koki Niwa ZF?

    I usually seal my blades. Once I skipped it and the thing splintered when I used Revolution No.3. Honestly, I think it also depends on the glue—DHS No.15 has always worked fine for me. Super easy to peel off, both from the wood and the sponge, no damage at all. I’ve never owned an outer Hinoki...

  9. Is this blade legit? (Stiga Inspira Plus)

    I think this model’s only available in China. :unsure:

  10. Is this blade legit? (Stiga Inspira Plus)

    Did you buy it used or brand new? If it’s brand new, it should come wrapped in plastic with an authenticity verification code, usually a QR ike in this imageTypically, a new one should cost over 100 USD.

  11. Hybrid suggestions for someone coming from H3

    Have you tested Xiom Vega China+ or Tau 3? If you're looking for more speed while keeping the same rubbers, you could simply opt for a faster blade.

  12. DHS Skyline serie, TG2 and TG3

    You should grab a TG2 and try it out again to see if it fits your game. Talking about it isn’t enough — you have to feel it while you play.

  13. DHS Skyline serie, TG2 and TG3

    I have a SKYLINE 2 Provincial 39° on a VICTAS FIRE FALL LC. It only has a single light layer of Haifu Yellow National. It feels slow unless you apply enough power and speed. Because of that, it’s excellent in the short game, great for third- and fifth-ball attacks on the table, and ideal for...

  14. Several Months with the SANWEI Verdi Inner: The Best Inner ALC Blade SANWEI Has Made

    I found the Sanwei brand interesting when I started researching gear, but after all that over-the-top hype from PingSunday and the rest, I kind of lost interest
