  1. What brand of TT balls do you prefer?

    TOTALLY agree with you. The Nittaku Premium cult followers. They are so stubborn and annoy me possibly as much as the smooth slippery crap that they are so crazy and fanatical about 🤣
  2. Butterfly vs Mizuno shoes

    To me LiNings are far better than Mizuno Wave Drive or Wave medal. I have used multiple Mizunos (Medal 5, Drive 9) and LiNing is way better in terms of comfort, support, performance and grip. The only thing better in Mizuno is durability. To me Mizunos are just plain uncomfortable and not that...
  3. Li-Ning Shoes

    I have multiple Mizuno, Asics and LiNing shoes. LiNing is by far the best for table tennis. The fit, the optimal cushioning, the performance, the comfort are all way better to me than even the most popular Mizuno Wave Drive shoes in EVERY respect. I move better, have less fatigue and foot pain...
  4. Friendship 729 Battle 2 National vs Friendship 729 Battle 3

    My 6 years old Bloom Power is still as sticky as can be and far more sticky than any other Chinese/non-Chinese rubber. I have it along with a Bloom Speed on the two sides of a 2014 Butterfly Innerforce ALC (much better wood quality than new batches). I always clean the rubbers after each...
  5. New Dignics 09c no longer tacky?

    I have the same experience. I bought about three weeks ago.
  6. Fanzhendong ALC vs VISCARIA

    The handles of Viscaria and FZD ALC are 100% NOT the same. Viscaria is thinner and more flat and FZD ALC is rounder and fatter. It's a significant difference (and possibly the only difference between these two blades) that no one is talking about! I literally gave away my new FZD ALC to a...
  7. FS DHS W968 provincial (letters)

    I want to buy some stuff from Gan. How to do so? Can you please let me know the process (or contact information/website)? I found this info
  8. Tibhar Shang Kun Hybrid AC Blade

    You can try the Donic Xtreme. It's an inner carbon/fibre type and has fantastic speed, control and feel. Fantastic for backhand, great for forehand, very good for blocking. I like it better than the Butterfly outer ALC blades Lin Gaoyuan ALC and Fan Zhendong ALC.
  9. What brand of TT balls do you prefer?

    Exactly my thoughts. Nittaku and Butterfly balls have a cult following and I feel those people do not understand anything about what a good ball should be like. Most won't listen and will just repeat that Nittaku (or Butterfly) are the best brands and so their balls are the best. They will...
  10. Friendship 729 Battle 2 National vs Friendship 729 Battle 3

    I have all 3 - Battle 3 40 orange sponge Battle 2 Prov 40 blue sponge Bloom Power purple sponge Battle 3 is junk - not for high level play - no spin no power - hollow feeling. It is hyped up by people who can not use hard Chinese rubber due to deficiencies in their technique and power. For...
  11. Donic Xtreme blade - Anyone tried it yet?

    Are you referring to the Donic Original True Carbon blade? If so, then you made me happy and also heightened my anticipation for the blade. It is good to know that I possibly did not make a bad decision in ordering the Donic Original True Carbon even after already owning several Viscaria family...
  12. [Concluded] Looking for an ‘all wood alternative’ for Viscaria

    I have a 90 gm Falcima and it lacks power, feels hollow and is too soft - nothing like the crisp Viscaria feeling. To me Korbel (Japan made version) is much more similar to Viscaria. Has that crisp and direct feeling and surprisingly does not lack power at all even from mid distance even though...
  13. Donic Xtreme blade - Anyone tried it yet?

    Incidentally, I did not have the Donic True Carbon earlier. I had been eyeing it for a long time and I ordered it a few days ago and it's on the way.
