Interesting, I really love my rxton 3 on bh. I never boosted. It doesn't feel soft but it feels amazing for punches and blocks. Ty for sharing.

Noticed this on AliE. Anyone try it? How does it compare to the rxton 3 pink?

Attached a Loki Arthur China on my FH of my Nittaku Acoustic Cpen last night, just played this evening. Sort of disappointed. Maybe I got a dud. Felt very tacky and held ball for several seconds when first installed. After a bit of play the tackiness effectively disappeared. About 1-2 hours of...

I don't know for sure, but a guess: So rubber is a polymer made up of a 'soup' of molecular chains that are periodically cross-linked. The rubber molecules could all be mass orientated via stretching or rolling at high temperature (where the molecules are soft and move easily). Then whilst in...

Fortunate to see the finals and catch a signed ball from Kanak lolol. Also realized a bunch of the players were seated right beside/by us.

oh yea, I was playing penhold before. I guess I am low enough of a level to transition to shakehand, and I did consider it before, but this is just a hobby I enjoy not a serious career.

Yea, that is also me crashing, and those are my XRays 😅😅

A while back I posted asking about beginner JPen blades, then decided to attempt to modify a few of my CPen blades. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/beginner-jpen-blades-whats-the-yse-of-jpens.36065/ Also tried to make it a little more minimal to make it still flexible for RPB...

Designed and 3d printed a little JPen nub. It feels good, but the position is off, and it needs to be moved backwards by quite a bit. New design being printed/baked right now... de

I'm a materials scientist, I characterize elastomers, and I've tested tens of thousands of similar specimens shown in that video. Always open to being wrong, but what you said about 'tensile elasticity' that accounts for spin makes no sense. What do you mean by tensile elasticity? This isn't a...

what Blade is the most 'fun' or satisfying ?

I have a full blown addiction now I have a spare ALL rated blade from ColesTT, opinion on what I should put on that? I started training regularly less than 2 months ago. Have a YSE with Rakza 7 soft 2.0 FH, Vega Europe BH 2.0, but very slightly prefer my first cheapo Loki Kirin 2 with AK47 FH...

Any thoughts on the Butterfly Garaydia Revolver-R? I know it has Carbon, and expensive but it is rated ALL. These are the other JPens rated ALL: Nittaku Streak R-H Victas Birmingham 77 - Japanese Penhold Victas Sleek - Japanese Penhold Yasaka Double Face II - Japanese Penhold

This is incredibly helpful, thank you so much! I was thinking of modifying one of my CPen blades with a 3d printed nub glued on... if that does not work out I will take you up on your offer. What kind of glue did you use? My main concern is messing up a blade permanently... Those Sanwei blades...

Hi, Fairly new to playing consistently. Started with a premade Butterfly JPen (Nitchugo). It was 1 sided but then picked up a CPen to learn RPB. Currently have a Yasaka Sweden Extra CPen, but I just realized that it feels much more comfortable, maneuverable and powerful with the old JPen. I...
