Long 5x has a thicker core and thinner outer plies. The 5x is a more stiff, has more bounce. The normal HL5 is quite a bit more flexible and vibrates a lot more too. 5x for me would be an improvement...

Yes, but the regular's core is thicker. It's kinda similar to the difference between the HL5 and HL5x.

Surely it's just soy sauce for the... erm... cake?🙄

I think it doesn't agree with their mentality to gain extra performance for a short period of time.

As I can see Asian players are quite concerned about equipment weight and Butterfly rubbers are...

I think Rasanter R53 is supposed to be the direct competition from ESN to D05, maybe also Gewo Nexxus 53, but that I haven't tried.

Don't know of any D80 and especially none of D64 alternatives.

Speedglued Bryce was much faster than Tenergy or Dignics. A speedglued Sriver was faster as well.

Butterfly doesn't factory boost their rubbers. Only the wear and tear that changes their...

Maybe this is something you also want to collect, but it looks like it costs a kidney or two.
It's also weird since it looks like they have hinoki top ply, not something Mizutani used...

Why did you put laquer on top of Stiga's UV goo? I would think the the stuff Stiga coats it with would be enough to seal the blade.

Regarding glue strength the Andro Free Glue and Xiom i-Bond are...

If you can touch or try the 2nd hand blade I would say that is more positive than the negative aspect of it being used.

But that can apply to many 2nd hand stuff too not just table tennis blades....

New blades are much easier to identify, they have the holo lens too besides the serial code on the blade and box. I haven't even seen counterfeits trying to copy the holo lens. It was quite...

Thanks, it seems like it's faster than a normal Viscaria just as BTY claims. From your measurements it should be close to a slower Zhang Jike Super ZLC, or Xiom Ice Cream AZX. Probably playwise it...

Well I only encountered with only a handful different glues. Most are the same just rebranded.

There are the German made glues like the BTY Freechack 1, and almost every brand has something like...

To me the 20m/s sounds about right, but 75rps...? Is that with pips???

Butterfly just did some videos, 20m/s and 120-150rps doesn't seem like a big deal....

Bit difficult to justify if the glue on the sponge splinters the blade. It's more likely the glue you put on the blade does it since that's the glue that has direct contact with the wood. Limba can...

Hello Everyone!
I'm just wondering what kind of supplements you are taking to: first and foremost to stay healthy, avoid injuries and perform better. These are all important to keep playing at a...

Just use the skin on the back of your hand. That will surely trip up the others.

To me it looks like the Hurricane 3, D09c, Donic C1/C2, Xiom Omega 7 China style pimple shape + thicker top layer. The Victas V>20 Double Extra seems to be the same as well.

Probably the Rasanter...

I might be missing the point in this question but if she said she likes Viscaria with T05 and Rozena then why not get that for her?

Assuming from your first post your BH swing is not so fast so you should be looking into the rubbers with a bit thinner topsheet than G-1. I would probably recommend Aurus Select possibly in just...

What's wrong with them? I don't know their names but the younger tall guy and the defender are good players. Their opinion I would consider. The rest of them I would rather just skip.

I wish people would stop referring to the sponge hardness as rubber hardness. I guess sponges contain some amount of rubber but it's really confusing for uninitiated people to understand what you are...

Isn't that tester only looking for VOC? If the booster doesn't have VOC then the bat will not fail.

I'm a vegetarian, and I don't have any bad smell even if I sweat a lot.
In south Asia I don't see how one doesn't sweat a lot. It's hot, humid and if you work hard there's no way of avoiding it. I...

Kinda in line with how much MX-P looses from its weight. ~4g

I wonder what is the weight of the rubber after 7.5 month. Not sure if you have the glue layer on the sponge, that can add 1-2 gramms. The topsheet seems to hold up well.
