I used to have that issue in my early days - part of the things I did to solve it include: - Pressing down for a while (maybe a minute or two) after gluing - Not cutting the rubber right away and also being careful to have the blade slide through the rubber instead of being dry and pulling at...

Ugh - I feel your pain

That's my second most favourite part 😁😄

Doing a bit of research

Yes - very true - I initially bought it as I'm not immune from EJing (Which is a massive reason why I went into reselling and setting up equipment for others - almost everyone lets me try their setup since I'm the one who did it :LOL: :cool: The other reason is, well, I just enjoy setting up...

More on topic, the MX-D has quite a bit of kick to it. I have it on my backhand and it's feeling too bouncy for me. When I get the shots in, it's lovely. More often than not though, I'm overshooting in competitive play since I was previously using the H8-80. It's very spinny and I've also tried...

I've been using it for a couple of weeks now on my forehand to try it out. Was using Tibhar MK before that and the Sanwei Gear Hyper before before that. I'm mainly a blocker and flat hitter - all three rubbers suit me very well without being too bouncy to play with. With the DNA Hybrid M though...

My 10 year old girl requested for a short pip setup since she likes the feeling of rubbing the pips with her fingers and her fav colour is blue, so I've gotten a cream sponged and an orange sponged one to finish a setup just for her to have some fun. Have a spare Palio expert blade so at least...

Reckon any with a curved blade would work nicely. I got the Revolution No.3 scissors and I recall that Donic also produces curved edge scissors

It's semi tacky. OP asked for semi tacky or tacky rubbers with low catapult. The Gear Hyper fits as an option. It's got enough control to be beginner friendly.

Sanwei Gear Hyper would fit the bill for you beautifully I think. If you want a faster, springier alternative to that then the Tibhar Hybrid MX though I'd think that's less beginner friendly

Oh - I haven't. I don't boost rubbers so would need someone else to try that! :)

I'm now a fan of the Tibhar Hybrid MX on the FH. Great spin capabilities and power without too much of the catapult effect. I'll soon try Stiga's DNA Hybrid M Not sure about there ever being a best rubber for anything though! ;)

I still rate the Sanwei Gear Hyper very highly and the Sanwei Target National is also a very good hybrid (that I switched too many years back from Tenergy 25). The Gear Hyper is bouncier than the STN without feeling like you're playing with a trampoline in your hand while the STN is much...

Discovered this thread late - Sanwei issued a statement about 4 years back that they've removed these balls from the market - https://www.facebook.com/SANWEISPORT/posts/sanwei-official-statement-about-abs-tr-balls-and-abs-club-balls/439107003467452/

The Kokutaku feels softer and a bit more elastic. I feel the Rxton 1 has more speed reserves that more skilled players can get while the Kokutaku 868 Blue is an easy-to-play choice for beginners and advanced beginners. A couple of skilled players in my Stratford, London TT community enjoy using...

After extensive hours of research and play testing, I settled on Mercury 2 rubbers for my starter builds (for those moving from prebuilds to custom). For those in that camp who need a slightly slower rubber (I've noticed that the Mercury 2 on a Yinhe N11s can be a bit fast for beginners), I tend...

I've finally done a setup with scissors. First time in a long while so I had to start slowly. I've noticed two things that mean I'll pretty much only use scissors for certain occassions. 1. For rubbers with the thin plastic covers on (Typically, Chinese ones), I haven't gotten a perfect cut...

Hah! Thanks for the useful info! Looks like I should now do a Super Complete Guide 😄
