It's the same for me. J3 is slower than LAC and reacts more strongly to the booster.

I got a little tired of experimenting and just ordered another Loki N80. For me, this rubber is the best in price/quality for forehand. The downside is the use of a booster + oil. Actually, I have not yet found a rubber that plays similarly without a booster, so this is a conditional downside.

There will be no "D09C killers", just as there will be no "H3 killers", just as there was and will be no "T05 killer". Over time, these top manufacturers will release something new that will be better adapted to possible changes and many players will switch to this and many will return back to...

The Stuor Vis I played with had a higher second speed than the Pro 01. The heaviest and toughest was the Viscaria Mishima.

I didn't like the H3-50 at all, for me it's the worst DHS rubber. I liked the Glazer 09C out of the box, but after two weeks it became smaller in size and stopped playing as it did at the beginning. I tried pumping it with air, but it didn't give a result. Apparently it also requires a booster...

My solid wood five-layer Bastian Steger Butterfly blade degraded. At that time, I trained very intensively every day for several hours, and after about half a year, the blade became slow and flexible. I personally have not seen this with carbon blades. But I can say that I often get blades with...

For me, it's the other way around. Sueke №2 itself is thicker and sticks better, while Suke №2 is more liquid and tends to come off both the sponge and the blade. Suke №2 is much easier to remove from the sponge than Sueke №2.

In my opinion this is the key

It's logical to assume that Liang started doing this after Hugo's victory over Lin Shidong, but I can't say for sure because I don't follow all of Liang's matches. Maybe the all-knowing @zeio can enlighten us.

When repairing, there is often an opportunity to lighten the handles. You can make recesses in them. It is clear that this will change the balance, but it is still an option. When we do repairs, we always offer to reduce the weight or make the handle fuller, if necessary. After repair, the blade...

From your description it looks like an internal crack in the handle area. In addition to buying a new blade, you also have the option of looking for a blade repairman.

I noticed that when gluing the top layer of koto, this layer is much more saturated with glue. The glue comes out and it is necessary to use polyethylene pads so that this glue does not stick to the press. The blade with the surface of the limba is less saturated with glue. If we use limba extra...

Not only Zhang Jike, but also Timo Boll, spoke about the fact that professionals wear out their blades. Regarding the speed of blade wear, Zhang Jike's opinion, also makes sense, since blades with internal carbon bend more than blades with external carbon. This is due to the moment of inertia or...

The best blade feel can only be achieved with a rubber set that is compatible with the blade.

As a looping maker like you, I recommend learn the LP technique. It's not as hard as it might seem - you just need to take only one LP racket to training and play with it for a few sessions. It's useful in terms of understanding the game and a lot of fun!

The dark color is definitely not varnish, since all the outer veneer is dark. It's more like a penetrating wood treatment, which is probably why it smells.

Both blades have a limba surface. On the blade on the right in the photo, the limba is covered with a dark varnish, possibly oil, which is why it has a darker color. I think that on this blade, water-based glue dries more slowly. To better understand the structure of the blades and possible...

Jokes aside, this sport is really developing in Kazakhstan right now. There are already stadiums that we in Ukraine could only dream of. In addition, Kazakhstan President Tokayev himself plays table tennis, at least there is a video of him playing table tennis with Alexis Lebrun during his visit...

Hi! Have you tried DFVP1? Are there any differences?

I also tried DFVP (Black 39). Excellent rubber, especially for that kind of money. You can play out of the box without booster. Dead serve reception, like Hurricane 3 and a good ball on the loop. Let's see how long this will last. My DFVP weighs 49 grams cut to 158x151 mm. Addition from...
