    I'm learning how many orange sponges are on the market
  2. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    I would like to answer on two levels. I basically agree that we, as non-specialists, certainly cannot make a perfect analysis from the outside. As long as it is not "extremely wrong" or offensive, I think such debates among fans are correct. We fever and suffer with our favorite players and...

    I’m often thinking the same. He should try keto diet. 💪💪

    Tom Jarvis GEWO also? Or is this Hurricane orange sponge?

    Ok. Here we go. This one is with orange sponge. Only the 48 degrees. https://www.gewo-tt.de/GEWO-Belag-Iconixx-Hybrid-HXT-Pro-48.0-rot-2-0-mm/12248300020

    I know. I even asked Grok. I still can look without glasses. 🤓 The slomo was absolutely clear. She had a kind of comeback. Maybe she changed over this? I cannot rewind the Japanese stream I was watching. So no screenshot.

    Just could see the highlight slomo. Definitely orange sponges.

    Mittelham just playing. Does she use Hurricane again? For me, the sponge looks orange. Both!
  9. How to keep your Chinese stiky rubber top-sheet stiky for a long time?

    That’s why I started to re-apply the foil with my roler after coming home. No visible bubbles avoid oxidation.
  10. Durability of Rubbers (Zyre 03, Dignics 09c, Dignics 05, Glayzer)

    I protect my H3 with a foil, that sticks to my cleaned rubber. It’s not sticky itself! I use a roller, to be sure, no air bubbles remain. Air = oxidation. That is killing tackiness. I kept some of my old H3 neo. After cleaning, they still pic up the ball!
  11. Just Butterfly Glayzer (on backhand)

    Thx. So, this means to me, as the boostered D09c is the slowest I would like to tolerate, I don’t need to try the G09c. What about the thickness? Is loosing control<>increasing speed (1.9<>2.1) similar to rubbers like let’s say the Hybrid MK? I like the touch of a thicker rubber on my BH too...
  12. Just Butterfly Glayzer (on backhand)

    Hm. On Monday, I made a freaky try. During the weekend, I boostered an old D09c with 2 layers. It curved very well. This rubber was astonishing well on my BH. Very good feeling while blocking heavy topspin from a lefty. Good control in general, plus maybe 10 % on top of my very strong backspin...

    What is Hugo playing? New wood but XIOM rubber still? At least at VH?
  14. What do you do to keep your hand relaxed?

    ... but tighten the grip (squeeze thumb and index finger) on contact! Then start relaxing during the follow through. Something like: 30 % - 70 % - 30%. Need to quote Tyce:
  15. What do you do to keep your hand relaxed?

    It works the other way round too. I don't have small hands, but I realized, using the original handle of my Long 5X, my BH was less accurate (and then tense). Using the 301X is a complete different experience, as it is much, much leaner. So I sanded the handle of my L5X. Works.
  16. Just Butterfly Glayzer (on backhand)

    Thanks for your detailed description. It sounds a lot like those related to Hybrid MK. Do you agree? Did anybody compare Glayzer and Hybrid MK? I'm using the MK but looking for something more durable.

    Oh - sorry. Didn't read your question. Grok searched for me (I trust Grok and didn't watched again)
  18. Hybrid rubbers with the most balanced properties

    Hm - my H3 were, are und keep VERY tacking. Even when the surface looks like garbage. After cleaning, they easily lift the ball. Where did you buy? Mine are directly from Hongkong. Coming back to the topic. I'm still looking for an alternative to Hybrid MK for my BH. I was in Argentina for 3...

    Actually in Dortmund vs Karlson, he played red on forehand, constantly. No blue sponge visible. The match is available on YT
