  1. Just Butterfly Glayzer (on backhand)

    glayzer is great but fastarc g1 felt like an upgrade to me in almost every way what glayzer can do better is medium power loops (if you cant activate g1 sponge), or full topsheet brushing (glayzer grips exceptionally well). in all other department I see g1 slightly ahead that beeing said...
  2. What do you do to keep your hand relaxed?

    before you start playing: 1. bounce the ball on your racket with soft hands. 2. throw the ball in the air and try to catch it with your racket (ball shouldnt bounce). 3. bounce the ball on the floor with your racket (like playing basketball). you are only allowed to hit the ball towards the...
  3. Yasaka Rakza 7 Hard

    looking forward to hearing your impressions :)
  4. Recommendation for FH and BH rubbers

    I would say Fastarc G1, but you are looking for a soft topsheet You can try Vega Pro, not bouncy, softer feel, slightly more aggressive than Rakza 7. but they are similar overall Stiga Mantra Pro is very good too, but feels like a boosted fastarc g1. feels softer than its hardness. can be a...
  5. new rubbers recomenndation on Harimoto Innerforce ALC

    upgrade to harimoto alc, but keep the rubbers. you will feel a nice speed increase from the blade alone fastarc g1 is excellent. you might not like your new blade if you also change the rubbers, since too many variables are changing at the same time
  6. kids at our club wanting to play penhold inspired by Felix

    maybe not ideal for beginners but for intermediate level, yinhe pro 05 (~40 euros). it is in a way similar to felix lebruns blade
  7. Dhs hurricane 3 Orange vs blue sponge

    rxton9 is a good rubber but for those fine shots were you grip the ball with the topsheet, it feels very different to h3, especially bs. also much less powerful than h3 bs great price-performance though on rxton 9
  8. Dhs hurricane 3 Orange vs blue sponge

    I have also felt like that at times, BS grips the ball so well on backhand If OS wasnt for you I doubt harder sponge will solve the issue. I recommend Xiom Vega China or D09c on backhand (Vega China feels like a very well boosted h3 OS and has better price-performance than d09c)
  9. In-depth look at Tibhar equipment. Any feedback you'd like to share?

    how the spin / power / durability compared to fastarc g1
  10. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    l looking forward to your review rxton 9 is nice but I didnt like the topsheet feeling that much. a bit rigid, and didnt grab the ball as nicely as h3 maybe it will be better with the pro version
  11. GEWO Lineup

    I agree that their lineup is very confusing (I dont get it either) But to put it into perspective, I live in Northern Germany, and here almost every beginner uses gewo gear, so gewo is quite popular depending on where you live.

  13. Looking for a new Backhand Rubber

    thats why I offered options that are similar to t05, yet easier to control
  14. Looking for a new Backhand Rubber

    many options, if you like t05 I recommend: Butterfly Glayzer Easier to control on the backhand, but still has the spring sponge effect that you know from your tenergy 05 Nittaku Fastarc G1 Very similar to Tenergy 05 but easier to control in serve receive and blocking you can also try a rubber...
  15. Nittaku fastarc g-1 max thickness?

    not a huge difference. max feels a bit softer, bit more bouncy, can create slightly more spin and speed. MAX is quite nice for the forehand
  16. What is Cho Seungmin using now?

    he has a personal blade available in korea https://tibharkorea.com/goods/view.php?gidx=161
  17. In-depth look at Tibhar equipment. Any feedback you'd like to share?

    I was also not quite satisfied with the durability of some tibhar rubbers. my favourite tibhar rubber is evolution mx-s, great control in short game and blocking and that rubber is seriously spinny. I feel like this rubber is a bit underrated, the high gears are no joke tibhar k2 is also nice...
  18. Which Sanwei 3-star balls are the best

    the blue ones are quite good, especially for multiball we use gewo 3* ultra slp for practise and official matches , and when switching to the sanwei ones, you can really tell the difference. sanwei much less consistent and also feel like they somehow "wobble" in the air like an egg still great...
  19. Friendship 729 battle 3

    maybe medium power on thick contact it was faster, youre right but on high power it was lacking and the minimal speed benefit of b3 doesnt outweigh the overall advantages of h3 for me yes, it domed minimally, so technically it reacted to the boost, but the reaction was very weak again, I dont...
