  1. Difficulty in rubber gluing to blade

    It is a new blade and no lacquering service was done or asked for. I have used both DHS #15 and Andro (new), but the results have been the same.

  9. A stiff all-wood with a soft feel?

    Going by the thread title, stiffness and softness do not go together. This is my understanding. The more the stiffness, harder the blade. If a blade does not warp or bend, where does the softness come from? Correct me if am wrong.

  11. How does butterfly viscaria compare to harimoto innerforce super alc and andro synteliac vco off?

    I have played with the Synteliac VCO for a while. The Andro Synteliac VCO is a good blade, similar to Viscaria, but with a more muted feedback.

  15. ITTF WTTC Finals Doha 2025, 5/17-25

    It was an absolute pleasure to watch the finals. Dominating performance by WCQ against Hugo. The better player won. We cannot give excuses like fatigue from previous matches etc. If that were the case, then Ma Long and FZD wouldn't have won multiple world championships. WCQ took the game to the...

    How do you contact the seller before ordering? Is that possible, since i see that the blade names and descriptions that are given in his site is crazy and difficult to understand and select, even though in English. You might have found it easier since you ordered only rubbers. The 968 blade...
