  1. Chinese National Championships 2026 - Doubles Events (MD, WD, XD) - Jul 13 - Jul 19

    Ma Long is competing in the Chinese National Table Tennis Championships right here in my city—haha! It’s a shame I couldn't snag a ticket; from now on, every match this legendary player competes in could potentially be the last one we ever get to see. That’s why watching the live stream feels...
  2. Chinese table tennis enthusiasts are very happy to be here~

    I have experimented with over ten types of oils and reviewed the vast majority of video content available on the Chinese internet regarding this topic— including oils for expansion (softening and increasing elasticity), organic glues, oil blends, oils specifically for "cake" sponges, oils for...

    Focusing specifically on high-density sponges: Hurricane rubbers oxidize the fastest, while 729 rubbers oxidize the slowest and have the longest lifespan. This is a consensus among us; I could even show you photos of 729-series rubbers I’ve used for years. However, I bought the 729 "Flash"...

    The sponges used in inverted rubbers generally fall into two categories: "cake" sponges and high-density sponges. When paired with booster oil, high-density sponges deliver a stronger sense of energy storage, increased spin, and a softer feel. Therefore, regardless of manufacturer claims that...

    I always treat high-density sponges with oil, and I've done my research on oils. There are generally two types of expanding oil: one for increasing elasticity and one for softening. I use a black oil from a research institute (its expanding and elasticity-increasing effect is excellent, but...

    729 offers excellent value for money; I personally purchased the "Huang Fang Carbon" model. It costs less than 100 RMB yet delivers about 70% of the performance of the DHS Hurricane Long 5. This makes it a top choice for many beginners looking for their first composite (carbon fiber) blade...
  7. Cheap Chinese Gear

    Several people have asked this question since I arrived here。。。。😂 I'm not AI. Does my reply resemble AI's? I don't know how you distinguish between them. My English isn't good, so I used AI translation. But it's all original content.

    This is a moisture - proof box. It is often used to protect electronic equipment such as single - lens reflex cameras, preventing the internal circuits from oxidizing due to moisture. Table - tennis bats also need such boxes because the humidity changes throughout the year can repeatedly cause...
  9. If you were to upgrade Butterfly logo to the "Gold Label" version...

    If I plan to resell the racket, it’s totally reasonable to charge a small fee for this handmade decorative upgrade, and there’s a clear line here. However, anyone who deliberately lies and claims this homemade logo is an official factory genuine one to jack up the price and cheat buyers is...
  10. If you were to upgrade Butterfly logo to the "Gold Label" version...

    Haha, I know about this news. But the nature of these two things is completely different. Back then, Qiaodan Sports registered the trademark on a large - scale commercial basis to make a profit, which led to years of legal battles. What I do is just a table - tennis enthusiast modifying the end...

    Sure. I replaced the icon of Lin Gaoyuan ALC with that of his own brand "Yuanjian". I also replaced the photo of Ma Long below the VIS. Replacing the handle is a bit more difficult. Especially the handle of Butterfly, which is hard to remove. Unlike the handle of Tibhar, which may become loose...
  13. Quan Shi Bao is amazing

    Yes, but we usually call it by its Chinese name, "Lei Shen". Lei Shen means the god who controls thunder and lightning in Chinese mythology. I highly recommend this brand because I’ve bought over 10 of its blades, ranging from budget options of just dozens of yuan up to the 700-yuan W81 Zhou Yu...
  14. If you were to upgrade Butterfly logo to the "Gold Label" version...

    All meaning is given by ourselves. I simply love the gold label’s look but don’t want to pay the steep premium for an official gold-label blade. (Actually, I do own a genuine Gold Label Viscaria. It cost me a fortune, and I’m afraid of scratching it, so I only keep it as a collectible.) I never...

    I am not sure if this has already been shared by anyone else. :) I am sharing this simply as a way to decorate the racket and make it look more attractive. First, you need to purchase "Gold Finger" high-temperature tape; images and specific material details are shown here. (Polyimide Kapton...
