Best Chinese alternatives to D05 Tier List What is a tier list? This Tier List ranks readily available and low cost Chinese rubbers according to their performance in matching the standard set by Dignics 05. Rubbers are tiered based on the following factors: Bite on the ball - Higher ranking...

After boosting many rubbers I have found some rubbers have a strong reaction and some have a small reaction. By reaction, I mean a big increase in rebound and performance. I found that Loki GTX and Friendship Aurora had the strongest reaction: 5/5 Rhyzen ZGR had a very good reaction: 4/5...

I was cleaning out my house and stumbled on this old rubber. I believe it must be from 20 years ago, because I definitely didnt buy it in the past 3 years. Its still very tacky and grippy. Maybe i should buy a cheap Kokutaku rubber to pair with it. It feels hard like H40 and maybe it will boost...

My friend is a long time HL5 with D09c/D64 user. But he was curious about Chinese rubbers because of all my equipment. So he ordered a setup I suggested of Loki Arthur Asia and Moon 12 M+ and boosted both sides. LAA boosted very closely replicates D09c. It had very very high speed, and the...

I'm pretty sure #1 and #2 would be Wang Liqin and Ma Long. Not sure who is #3? Fang Bo? FZD?

Today I just tested out these rubbers from a friend. I really liked the Vega X. It seems like a near perfect substitute for Tenergy 05. It has speed, grip, throw angle, good feeling. Seems like a really great choice for bh. The Rakza XX felt really weird to me. The bounce and feeling seemed...

Im very confused about Esn sponge specs. Looking at this photo, which rubber is thicker? To my eye, black looks way thicker. But on the specs, the red is 2.2mm Max G1. Black is 2.15mm Dragon grip. Are my eyes deceiving me? Or are esn specs false?

Has anybody tried seamoon booster on Daiki rubbers such as Hammond Z2 or Victas 07? Have you had issues with bubbling? I'm hesitant to boost these as I don't know if it will lead to bubbling. I know seamoon is generally safe to use on ESN rubbers, but I have heard of some bubbling issues on...

Is there a best ESN hybrid rubber for FH? I've been testing Dragon Grip and Omega China Guang on FH. They seem largely similar to each other. Both are fast, and quite spinny. I've also tested Andro C53 and Joola Dynaryz ZGX. Both are good, but I think the extra bit of hardness at 55d is nice...

https://www.yahoo.com/news/japanese-table-tennis-star-reaches-134210991.html I just noticed this.

Over the past few years, I slowly find little tricks and techniques that I didn't know or realize before and nobody really tells you these things. The problem is I often forget the very things that I discovered. So I wanted to make a list of little hacks that I have discovered. This is not a...

Anniversary sale coming up in 3 days. Are you planning on getting anything? Any good deals you see? I see Double Fish Volant-Phoenix going for $12.5, so I will get a sheet. Also Rxton 3 for $5 is pretty nice. Rxton 5 is very cheap too, but I already have it so I guess I will skip for now.

Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! $77.01 31%OFF | Furious Bo Fang Carbon B2A 7-layer Carbon Table Tennis Ball Bottom Plate Square Bo Table Tennis Bottom Plate External https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtmXV6I Just saw this. Looks pretty cool. Any info or reviews on this?

Anybody have this blade and how do you find it? This blade apparently is popular and well-regarded. Its often suggested as an alternative to W968. I got it and after many months, it's still not my favorite blade that I own. The speed and hitting feeling and power is fine. But i feel the dwell...

Question, Is Omega China a ESN rubber made along the likes of Dragon Grip and Bluegrip, etc? Does it have the same porous spring sponge? Or is it more of a dense Chinese sponge?

I know Rxton 1 is quite good, has a decent reaction to booster, and is a pretty good bh rubber. Reactor Tornado V5 is pretty good, nice grippy topsheet with some tackiness. Any other candidates for best rubber under $5? How is this thing...

I just saw my favorite NA player Ma Jinbao is playing:

There are a lot of fans of the orange package Arthur China. This rubber indeed is very very good. Has anybody tried the Green version? According to specs, it is less spinny but faster. Also how is the Arthur Asia and Europe? I tried these 2 rubbers a couple years ago and was underwhelmed. But...

I just came back from a session testing out a sheet of Rasanter R53 2.3mm. Previously I had tested it out as a FH rubber and it was pretty fun. It was definitely really fast, spin was good, but I felt the fault tolerance wasn't too high. I'm using to having tacky fh, so I think I felt that was...

Anybody see this video already? What surprised me the most is how good Federer is at returning serve. If it was me against that serve, I would be overthinking it. Do I push? Do I loop? Do I flick? Is the ball going long or short? But it's so easy and natural for him. What is going on?
