  1. Best Chinese Alternatives to D05 Tier List

    Moon 12 (M+) has amazing control and is wonderful for blocking and placement, I don't think you'll be disappointed with it. BUUUUUUT, it does have its drawbacks. It's not easy to get heavy spin out of it (at least I can't). Also, it's not a fast rubber and if you put too much power into it, it...
  2. Hurricane 3 vs Hurricane 8 for BH

    Out of the three, I've only used H8-80 (38°) on BH and not boosted. H3N I haven't used the 37° so can only compare to 39° that I've tried on BH. H8-80 is a very good rubber and has a higher throw than H3N 39°. You can generate good spin with it and it's easy to engage the sponge to get power...
  3. Best Alternatives to Dignics 09c

    Not a rumor, I have tried both and recommend 39D. 40D is a totally different thing. You find 39D slower on hard hitting shots or in general, cause in general, 40D is going to be even slower. It just has a higher speed potential meaning if you hit much harder then you can get more speed out of it.
  4. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    I understand your POV, but for me, when it comes to those guys that you are talking about, we are talking about their skills and mastery over touch and feeling, not their equipment mechanics. They can chop block left right and center and give me trouble with my own equipment as well, cause their...
  5. Why do people say LP's should be banned?

    I think you're looking at this a bit unfairly. I enjoy training against LP players since I have to focus on quality and reading the spin above anything else. But I hate the fact that their equipment mechanism is totally different and you need to have a high level adaptability to play against...
  6. Are French people paying attention to the French team at WTTTC 2024?

    TT is indeed popular here in France, I mean last year we had around 250k registered players in the clubs but the media is not super hyped about the sport, at least not as much as football or rugby. That being said, I had a few friends who are not into TT sending me msgs about the French team...
  7. Moon 12 Blue on sale!

    Should say m+
  8. Advice to improve my game.

    Wow, you really have improved. Pretty much everything has gotten better so keep doing what you're doing. You're getting a lot of great feedback so I only want to add two things, focus on your placement as well. You tend to serve, return, block and loop most of your shots to the middle of the...
  9. Faulty serve as hell.

    TBH, I've seen worst. Yeah, he's got the ball on his fingers and doesn't actually throw the ball (or is just hiding it with his hand) but at least he's not spinning the ball hard and is letting the ball drop before serving it so you can see the contact point. Had a guy in competition at...
  10. Butterfly Innerforce layer ALC-flared

    I think it would have been a good deal if it wasn't damaged. It's a bit too much for a defective item, might as well cough up a bit extra and get a new one.
  11. Sanwei on AliExpress?

    Don't argue too much with the sellers, just open up your dispute and Aliexpress will take care of it. Having said that, I've bought a couple of times from GHsports over the years without any issues, surprise to see the way they're handling your case, but again communication is always the worst...
  12. Dignics05 and Tenergy05 hard alternative under 30$ hehee

    แล้วแต่คุณ :p. You won't find a true alternative even above $30 but you might be happy with kind of similar Tenergy rubbers like STIGA Mantra or Xiom Vega. As for Dignics 05, I haven't played with it but from the reviews, I think it seems to be close to my own BH rubber, DHS 8-80. #Blahness can...
  13. Rxton 9 vs Rakza Z

    I have the 38 degree on my BH and I don't boost it, I think it's too bouncy already but again I never boost anything. I agree with what #Attitude said, it's not easy to control the incoming loops with it but it's quite capable in the right hands (I'm not there yet :D). Recently I gave my...
  14. Looping every long serve

    Well, the rule of thumb is to try and loop any long serves that you receive but my only advice is don't try to kill the ball right away. If you hit too hard then as you pointed out yourself, you drastically increase your chances of unforced errors and might actually end up losing even more...
  15. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Yeah, I think it was on HWSport (or whatever its name is) but there were no pictures or even artworks for it. I think it was 20 something USD.
  16. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Has anyone tried Rxton 7 yet? I saw it on a shop on Aliexpress yesterday but can't find any reviews for it yet.
  17. How to get better at reading serves and returning them?

    Pretty much I wanted to say what @JJ Ng said, just practice your receive. My serve receive is also crappy relative to my other areas so I usually go to my club, see if anybody's practicing serves and then I ask them if I can practice returning their serves. Usually they're more than happy since...
  18. Palio AK47 appreciation topic

    I think in terms of price/performance it's one of the best, if not the best. I had AK 47 red on my BH for a long time and really enjoyed it. It was easy to play with, was light and super fast but I couldn't generate as much spin as I wanted with it. It simply wasn't grippy enough for me and as...
  19. How do i resolve some of my critical errors

    Sorry if I'm repeating what has been said before (haven't read the comments yet) but have to say, you have a wonderful stroke but I think there are some areas that are easier to improve and there are some areas that will be harder to improve (a bit out of your hand so to speak). Let's start...
  20. How to return a forehand loop with side spin away from you

    What exactly is your problem with this shot? Is it that you miss the ball (timing/stroke issue), you're not in place to hit the ball (placement/position issue) or you just can't land your returns on the table (controlling side-spin issue)?
