  5. Where are balls manufactured ?

    Hey everyone ! I was wondering if anyones knows where table tennis balls are manufactured ? We know that most popular rubbers are made from ESN or directly from Butterfly, etc. But what about balls ? Has anyone an idea on this ?
  6. Advise for upgrade from Rakza7/Rakza7Soft, Tenergy 5/64?

    I played with Rakza 7 Soft and Rakza 7 for a long time in my forehand and recently switched to Rakza XX. Same feeling as the Rakza 7, or at least similar, but with more grip and more speed. Couldn't go back to a R7 after trying RXX !
  7. Has anyone tried Hurricane 9 Pink ?

    Hey everyone ! I'm really interested in those coloured rubbers of DHS. Blue having the blue sponge, pink having the orange sponge from H3Neo, and purple and green having still a different sponge. I'm more interested in the pink with orange sponge Hurricane 9. Did anyone test it out yet ? Thanks...
  8. Tips on protecting top veneer ?

    I agree to say that they are pretty bouncy, don't get me wrong. But they aren't as much as their other Tensor counterparts, that's why I call them dormant in my last comment. I can't say for the Gewo, Andro and Victas top of the line rubbers, but I tested Tenergy 05 and 05FX, and I never had...
  9. Tips on protecting top veneer ?

    Tacky ones will always be spinnier than non-tacky ones. But if I had to give you my top 3 non-tacky ones, they would be 1. Rakza X Soft (the slower sponge seems to give you more control on the spin) | 2. Rakza 7 Soft | 3. Victas VJ>07 Regular (Very slow compared to other rubbers, but very...
  10. Tips on protecting top veneer ?

    No, there's only 3 Rakzas I haven't tried : X, 9 and Z Extra Hard. Being someone who plays very often, rubbers don't usually last very long... One of the longest I can remember, though was Victas Triple Double Extra. Tackiness stayed more or less the same if you treat it well.
  11. Tips on protecting top veneer ?

    I really like it ! I played for years with Rakza 7 on the forehand, and the XX is a nice upgrade to it in my opinion. You lose some control, but you gain speed and grip. I also tested out the X Soft, which is aimed for grip and control, and you can feel that the XX is the big brother of that...
  12. Tips on protecting top veneer ?

    Thanks, I just bought some DHS varnish, didn't even find the Joola one. I hope it will help. Thanks for the quick reply !
  13. Tips on protecting top veneer ?

    Hey everyone, I've recently bought a HL5, but the fibers of the top veneer are coming off with rubber removal. Not much right now, but I want to still have a blade in 2 years time, after changing rubbers regularly 😅 Can anyone recommend any varnish or other type of product to keep this from...
  14. Spinlord and Lion Lifespan ?

    Hi everyone, I'm very used to see rubbers in the 50-60€ range on the top tier of the manufacturers' lists. But when you see the prices of Lion and Spinlord rubbers, it's quite something else. I'm hearing that they have a shorter lifespan than other rubbers. Does anyone have some insights on this...
  15. Li-Ning Retailer for Europe ?

    They answered by saying that there's only the shoes available on the website, in the sizes listed. So... Not possible to ask them to import a specific shoe that isn't on the website.
