Ended up with DHS Gold Arc 8 47.5 medium. An amazing backhand rubber for Long 5. Not sure how many people have tried it/ used it but is as excellent hybrid rubber that is made by ESN in Germany. It goes for about $40 usd here, and for that money there is nothing better. Also, Long 5 must be the...

Well the BEO store said that they only sell "official rubbers". I have replaced the rubber as I think it either had a manufacturing defect or it was not stored properly or it is fake. I couldn't check the serial number as I didn't save the packaging. I can only say that none of the other 6...

Yes, because there are cracks in the rubber as well. It has been used less than a month, by a 10yr old, 4-5 times in total. I was just curious if it happened to someone else. I have 4 H3 Neo rubbers in total, and this is the only one with this issue.

This happened after playing 4-5 times. There are cracks already. Already after playing 1st time the rubber looked horrible. I wrote a message to seller BEO Store. Lets see what they say. I have no doubt that the rubber is either fake, or had a manufacturing issue. I will be replacing it in a...

I recently purchased H3 Neo 39H, 2.15mm from Beo Store on Ali Express. Only after few uses the rubber looks really beat up. The only comparison I have is a H3 Neo 40H, 2.15mm from TableTennis11, that has been used for a year. I have attached the image. Does this look suspicious to anyone? On...

Well I have to admit that I messed up. I removed the rubbers and the glue and measured everything again: Long 5 Light is 84gr Big Dipper is 48gr H3 neo prov is 49gr The total weight without glue is 181. Before removing glue it was 196 gr, meaning that I somehow managed to add 15gr of glue...

An interesting update... got the H3 Neo provincial yesterday, so set it up with Big Dipper Max on H5 Long Light.. about 2 hrs hitting session thoughts.. - Big Dipper was a Big Disappointment, due to a 56-57gr weight when cut. This is not a rubber for children. H3 Neo 2.2m is 43gr when cut! Big...

It is the same, except for the smaller handle that shaved a few grams off as well. Feels really nice in the hand, and looks to be well made. We'll see...

Went with "one and only" DHS Long 5 light. Found it for $140 USD at a local authorized DHS dealer. Now the reasoning.. 1. 84gr 2. thinner handle for kids / teens 3. inner alc, with outer 2 layer of wood 4. will set it up with H3 Prov / H3 Neo Once the rubbers are in I get time to test, I will...

Never tried boosting, kind of lazy :) .. but it seems that everyone boosts H3 rubbers. 729 Bloom Power is very nice. - it came vacuum packed, and the racket it is on has been outside on the balcony for last 3 days due to unbelievable rubber stench - it picks up the ball off table similarly to...

Ordered a 85gr Sanwei CC for $14 USD. Also ordered H3 provincial orange 39h. I think I now have enough equipment to test everything out and see what works the best :) From reading and researching even more, it seems that Chinese rubbers behave the best with softer outer plies of wood. So...

Interesting, Kumpuru seems to be very nice. TJ is now on my shortlist.

JJ, I am still waiting on BEO Store rubbers, but they did ship out in 1-2 days from me placing the order. The product is stuck at a Canadian border, and sometimes it can mean they "lost it". Will have to wait a few more days before I contact the seller. As for the Chinese rubbers, for now I...

Got 729 Bloom Power today, and I must say it is excellent. About 90 min of hitting and you can really see the improvement of speed on backhand side, without any loss of control. It seems that touch at the table is excellent, and short and medium distance strokes are fast and controlled. He...

Found those rubbers on Ali Express. The store is called Beo Store, and has a lot of rubbers. Delivery should be in about 2 weeks.
