Mizutani ZLC was 1080RMB for me, I think in Europe it's more around the 2000RMB mark. Okay this was a pretty good discount for me, especially since it's a Japanese market version not Chinese, but Ovtcharov ALC's, normal Viscaria, Harimoto ALC has pretty good price too. There are some brands...

Get the purple package, I recommend thd medium hard. It's cheap on aliexpress about 15-20USD. It is similar to boosted H3 BS, the Sanwei rubber doesn't need boosting. It's already similar to boosted H3 BS out of the pack.

The Rxton 9 is so confusing for me. The only sheet I got (40.5) was so slow like unboosted H3N or B2 national even after I boosted it with 2 layers. Then I see people using softer red R9 on backhand and for sure some seem to like it. Then I see some using it unboosted and saying it is fast...

This might be one of the cheapest Razer products. I'm still pissed at them that my Viper mini scroll wheel click got faulty. It's a bit of an irony that they use optical switches for the two main button(for durability reason) then the scroll wheel click dies. I liked that mouse so much. Still...

Actually this time I had no EJ urges, lately I don't have much. But my middle finger started to feel weird, hurt and I really couldn't explain it other way than my Xiom Ice Cream blade handle causing it. Seems to be the case since now this problem is gone with other FL handle. Tried a few rubber...

They are the same composition. I think even Freitas said Butterfly just switched the Maze handle and job's done. But I think the Maze ALC looked better 🫣 Performance wise should be about the same anyway. Confirmation of that:

I think the Freitas ALC would be something like that. ALC is more flexy on hard hits and the limba top is soft for weaker touch. Actually I'm unsure why this composition didn't take off more, Maze ALC was the same and that was an amazing blade, I assume Freitas ALC is the same with a different...

I bought a STN3 from taobao for 80RMB maybe, so dirt cheap, maybe like 10USD shipped. Hard version and I have to say on Mizutani ZLC it is great. I remembered it had low arc, but on this blade it's great. I can't really even say that Mizutani ZLC is a blade that makes amazing arcs to begin with...

Awww man... that's so hard to ask. Maybe Battle 3 is a good shot at that. I think it handles humidity better since it's rather matte and sticky. I'm unsure about the red colored one tho a little bit. I used the black and there is difference between chinese black and red rubbers. When I was in...

@longle @lodro I know exactly hhhhh Actually I like playing against such players if there is no humidity. And I like when a very trained sports university player loses against them too hhhhh it's so funny to see their face. All the great multiball training and can't beat some junk rubber player...

Same in China, when it's so humid table tennis becomes a different sport. And some balls slip more than others in humid weather too. Humidity is my enemy but I bet the LP pen "attackers" love it.

I remember when I was young the highly ranked players always said old wood (like 20-30 year old) are dried out and feel the best. They were talking mostly about the old Stiga blades. I don't know about dried out being the case, I suppose they are just worn in and become softer and maybe that...

Where's the info coming from that this is a 500pcs limited edition blade? Based on their website it looks like a normal ZLC blade. They aren't mentioning anything special about it nor does it have any special features or wood.

Something is wrong there. 2 days is like speed glue territory. In fact probably with H3N speedglue lasts longer. Actually in China I still see many use speed glue every day. And I get it too, it's nice, and predictable doesn't fuck up their rubber or blade. (actually back home many older folks...

Maybe the index finger is slippery on sticky rubbers, so sands off the sticky layer. Some people's skin is slippery, some isn't.

The National "gold package" for me was a dud. The golden version is not bad. B3 much better, but it needs boosting not because it's too slow or dead, but because glue doesn't stick to it if you don't boost. The rubber falls off the glue like paper from magnet leaving the glue on the blade intact...

Fair, but you shouldn't compare the old Mantra to the new Mantra Pro. Mantra Pro is really nice to use, just like a 1 layer FTL boosted G-1, but the mantra, you don't need to boost. Also, very cheap on aliexpress.

For me H3BS it last about 2 months if I push it. I think Battle 3 lasts longer tho, 3-4 months. I'm so torn tho too. I like H3BS, I like B3, maybe B3 has more potential, it has stronger topsheet(I especially notice that with old D40 DHS balls that don't wanna spin at all), and more durable and...

That title is a bit of a clickbait. Table tennis influencer is like saying Zhang Jike is influencer only and his past achievements are miracles. Still great job from Yu Heyi. Wonder if he's playing with Battle 3 or he was only the sponsoring head of it 🌚

Lot of Chinese playing this style, many use illegal pips, illegal serves too, but it's great fun to play against them once you figure out how. Then they are easy to beat.
