I guess it was chipped due to my backhand pushes. The left side of the R45 was chipped, I guess i've slightly touched the the table with my rubber a couple of times when pushing with my bh. Never had it before with other rubbers tho.

Thanks for al the recommendations. I just went to our tt shop and tried various test blades with different rubbers. It obviously is just a first impression. The Omega series are very nice, highy quality rubbers and a lot of spin. I guess for my style/level at this point in time not the right...

Hi all, My current setup (playing with this setup approx 1 year) Blade: Butterfly Balsa Carbo X7 BH: Andro Rasanter R42 2.0 FH: Andro Rasanter R45 2.0 Quality wise I'm a bit dissapointed in the R45. The rubber was chipped early on at several places on the edges, rubber seems a bit brittle...

Interesting suggestion, I was considering Vega Pro but I don´t have any reference nor someone plays with this rubber at my club. Can you tell you me something about the playing characteristics? (Maybe also compared to Vega Europe?). With Vega Europe on my forehand I can really crank it, I've...

Which backhand rubber for my Yasaka Sweden Extra blade? Very satisfied with most of my current setup: Yasaka Sweden Extra, FH Xiom Vega Europe (max), BH Donic Bluegrip C2 (1.8) Only thing I would to improve and/or change is my backhand rubber. I'm a forehand dominant player and most of the...

Currently playing again for approx 2 year (after 16 years or so). A lot has changed since the mid 0's. As a EJ I'm still looking for a optimal setup. I've tried several different blades and (untill now) I came to the conclusion that wooden blades suit me best, I'm a two winged looper (controlled...

Thanks for sharing. I'm a bit hesitant cause of thickness of the blade, max rubber thickness on both sides it will be a quite thick setup. Will do some research.

I'll consider Nittaku Adelie, I'll test out the PG9 today 6,3 mm (similar in thickness I guess). I'm not sure of the characteristics of the PG-9. Thanks!

Only 2 training sessions and some friendly games, I would say 5 hours. I know that's very short, but it feels to me that I need a faster all-wood blade if I would eventually transition to a composite blade (if I ever will). Competition starts next week, I don't want to make that big of a...

Hi Guys, last year I picked up tabletennis again after 15 years, I noticed that some things have changed, mainly the ball and tensor rubbers I guess. I'm an average player with a rating around 1300. I like to attack double wing, spinning as well as driving. Pushing and short play are one of...
