As i predicted, and now Truls will lose against Fan, no doubt needed.

Where are u guys watching the game, i can't find anything on the internet!

The service rules are totally impossible to judge correctly. As a former umpire i know it is impossible to always judge correctly. The ITTF should make the service rule very clear and strict. SO not the ridiculous 16 cm height toss but something like min. 50 cm -> no more doubt needed, even a 40...

Truls wil win it and then lose to Zhendong. Hugo needs a player with a certain rhythm, Truls makes too many irregular balls for Hugo.

It is clear it was the pips that hindered the player who plays with normal backside rubber a lot here. These pips are a disgrace for table tennis and should be a separate competition. Matches like this one clearly prove this fact. The fact that more and more pips rubbers are being considered...

The product role of this rubber is to fill the pockets of Butterfly and ITTF staff ;-) Lets be honest, "new" rubbers being launched hardly make any difference at all.

In the end there seems to be very little measurable rubber characteristics data available to consumers. Its because of marketing i guess. How can we as end consumers know the real difference between rubbers/boosting etc ... Just by trying the rubbers? $$$$$ ... in the pocket of the rubber...

I think the one ply blades are too heavy because too thick. All pro players use ALC-ZLC ... ply blades (5 or 7 ply). The plastic ball being less spinny/fast makes this even more necessary.

Indeed, not a lot of pro's use overgrip. I do remember Valdimir Samsonov using quite a lot of grip tape on his handles during his later years (i guess 2010-2018). At that moment i think he was still in the top 20-30 of the world.

When you use WD40 or lamp oil (kerosene) on the sponge (just one or 2 thin layers!), these liquids do boost the rubber!

For a beginner, it is better to use a slower blade, an allround all wood blade. The Tibhar Champ costs about 15€ and is an excellent blade. A guy i know who has been playing about 15 years now still uses it. He has about 1700 ELO rating (VTTL) , and plays in Flemish competition in 1st provincial...

Just use WD40 (a few drops and spread with a soft toilet paper) or lamp oil, also a few drops. Use it on the sponge and/or on the rubber. Always start thin.; Works great for reviving old rubbers that lost their spin.

The only blade i used on your list is the Viscaria (the normal version). I played this normal version of the Viscaria (lended it from a friend). I had DHS Skyline TG3 Neo on FH and Tibhar MX-S on BH on it. Viscaria is quite fast but still has good control feeling. Its a great combination for...

Do we have to login to be able to fill out this survey?

I have the Huyeson (but this one also exists as Stuor or even Boer i think) Viscaria clone blade, bought on Aliexpress for about 18€ about 3 years ago. Its really not bad, as fast as the original Viscaria (a friend in my TT-club has an original Viscaria). Also the handle is thinner and the...

4 out of 5 rating for Vega X I play this on a Waldner Senso Carbon blade in red, max. A bit more linear than a Tibhar MX-P. A great Off to allround play rubber. Good spin but not monster spin. But overall a totally good rubber for amateur players with a clear controlled feedback. I think its a...

Yes, this side camera angle is horrible. We dont see the curve of the ball ... Horrible angle 😫.

Let us be honest , Ma Long is the GOAT.
