    I got mine for $100! But still it's worth it I think.
  3. Rosewood XO

    Review by 'greenbeanmachine' on item 'Rosewood XO'

    I bought one of these blades as a backup for my Rosewood NCT V. It feels pretty similar, but not exactly the same. With both of these blades I used tacky Chinese rubbers (Hurricane, Skyline, Xuperman). I left a review of Rosewood NCT V here. I'm somewhat of a connoisseur of 5-ply...

  6. Vega Europe

    Review by 'greenbeanmachine' on item 'Vega Europe'

    I think this is supposed to be a rubber for beginners, because the sponge is very soft. For that purpose it's fine... but there are better options. This rubber is bouncy and fast, but it bottoms out very easily. This means that (1) you won't be able to create slow balls because the rubber is...
  7. 802-40 Mystery III

    Review by 'greenbeanmachine' on item '802-40 Mystery III'

    I already reviewed 802-40 soft here, so I won't repeat things unnecessarily. Mostly I will compare this rubber to the 802-40 soft sponge version. The red rubber and the black rubber have different sponges. The sponges are different colors, and they have a slightly different feeling. The red...

  11. Voodoo Classic

    Review by 'greenbeanmachine' on item 'Voodoo Classic'

    This is a very good blade for beginners looking to build their first custom racket, and it's an excellent blade for experimentation with rubbers. If you are still trying to learn what kind of rubbers you like, then this blade will help you figure it out. There is a reason that the TableTennis11...
  12. 802-40

    Review by 'greenbeanmachine' on item '802-40'

    I think that this rubber is very good for playing a traditional Chinese penhold style (short pips FH, optional inverted BH). Serving is quite spinny (especially compared to other short pips) but not as spinny as inverted. Chop-blocking is incredible, and allows you to return extremely spinny and...

    Voodoo Classic

    The Neottec Voodoo Classic is an all-wood, 5-ply offensive blade. It is a medium fast, flexible blade suited to attacking strategies that rely heavily on spinning strokes.

  14. 388D-1

    Dawei 388D-1 is one of the most popular long pimpled rubbers. The 388D-1 is the new and improved version of the standard 388D, and its long pimples help absorb momentum from incoming attack shots. The rebound off of the 388D-1 creates knuckle and wobble balls for your opponent. The pips product...
  15. 802-40 Mystery III

    802-40 Mystery III

    The most popular short pips rubber in the Friendship collection due to its durability, its spin capabilities, and value for the price. This rubber has a harder sponge than the regular 802-40 pips. This results in more spin reversal, and more of a "knuckleball" effect than regular 802-40. Sponge...
  16. 802-40

    802-40

    The most popular short pips rubber in the Friendship collection due to its durability, its spin capabilities, and value for the price. This is a distinct rubber from 802-40 Mystery III, and it differs from the Mystery III version by having a much softer sponge -- around 35°.
  17. Vega China VM

    Review by 'greenbeanmachine' on item 'Vega China VM'

    I tried a sheet of red Vega China on the backhand side of a penhold Neottec Voodoo Classic. It plays mostly like an unboosted Hurricane 3, with a bit more speed on certain shots. The differences are: 1. You really need to dig into the sponge to get a spinny ball. Brushing is not great for...
  18. Rosewood NCT V

    Reply to review by 'greenbeanmachine' on item 'Rosewood NCT V'

    Update: now that I have had more time to "break in" the wood, this racket feels even more incredible. The soft touch is even better than it was at the beginning, and the flicks feel like they have some more power behind them. It feels like I "grab" the ball more when power-looping. Today while...

    Reply to review by 'greenbeanmachine' on item 'Dignics 09c'

    I feel vindicated in my opinion after finding out that all these guys at TT11 tested Dignics 09c against other sticky/hybrid rubbers, and they all thought it was ass:
  20. Rosewood NCT V

    Review by 'greenbeanmachine' on item 'Rosewood NCT V'

    I've played with this blade for a few sessions and I'm already liking it a lot. The thing I noticed right away is how controlled this blade is in the short game. I can receive serves and place them close to the net. I can also return powerful loops very softly. 10/10 in this regard, this blade...
