  1. Blades Limba-Limba-ALC-Kiri-ALC-Limba-Limba

    Not exactly what you're asking for, but the Tibhar Stratus Samsonov CB is Limba / Ayous / Kevlar Carbon / Kiri. Nice blade, quite underrated, especially for its price. Very comfortable handle too.
  2. Throw angle is not a rubber property!

    Throw angle isn't a property of a rubber, but it is a characteristic, and thus does matter in the selection of one rubber vs. another.
  3. You have $100 (about € 85) to make a complete setup, what do you buy?

    Donic Persson Powerplay = EUR35 Xiom Vega Pro both sides = (EUR25 x 2) = EUR50

  6. Build your perfect WTT player

    Totally agree. Quadri is an amazing player. One can only imagine the heights he might've reached if he'd had the quality coaching and support some of the other world Top 20 players have benefitted from since their youth. I've had the privilege of seeing Quadri play live against other...

  10. Fan zhendong, Ma Long and Cheng Meng announces Retirement from WTT/ITTF

    Don't worry, it's not a big deal. One of the Forum moderators will probably spot this soon and they can merge this into one of the existing threads if they think that'd be helpful. More importantly, glad to have another fan on the Forum, welcome!
  11. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2024

    Man! When Quadri is on form he is an absolute joy to watch! That forehand is simply unrivalled.
  12. Someting similar to Xiom HAL?

    According to TT Gearlab, the Donic Persson PowerPlay has similar characteristics: Basically what these numbers indicate is that the Hugo HAL is faster than the PPP, and that it feels very slightly harder, but that their playing characteristics are almost identical. Given that you can...
  13. SDC Handmade Blades

    I made the same suggestion as you have, and I do think it would help Sergio, but it sounds like part of the appeal of the whole enterprise, for him, is the process of customisation. Sergio, if you don't mind me picking up on jar's post to raise this thought again, I really do think this is a...
  14. SDC Handmade Blades

    I think 50%-75% premium for priority ticketing sounds reasonable. Also, I wonder if a meaningful percentage of your orders are essentially "the same" blade, just with personalised handle designs? In other words, if, say, 1/5 blades is basically a Viscaria, and another 1/5 is basically an...
  15. Should I boosted H3 blue provincial 40 degrees in this era?

    I use H3 Neo Provincial Blue 40, unboosted, and am very happy with it. More than enough spin and speed for me, and I like the feel of it just like that. It takes maybe two sessions to feel "right", but so does any rubber.
