  1. Ovtcharov New racket ??

    Yeah, that's the confusing bit, why would he even use the S1 handle on another blade. Does Butterfly need to shift their excess stock of S1? :poop: I think it might really be an S1. Maybe that Zyre is a bit too fast for Dima on a carbon blade for now. He needs more time to get comfy?
  2. Ovtcharov New racket ??

    I think so too. But the Ovtcharov S1 is a godawful blade. I'm confused a bit.
  3. What makes more difference - rubbers or blades

    Obviously the booster is the most important. I can play just fine with a seamoon brush if it's boosted well.
  4. Help with forehand rubber

    Medium is 39-40, hard is 41-42. If you don't want to boost I would recommend the medium.
  5. Help with forehand rubber

    I mean the stickiness variance between H3. I'm not that fussy about it but many are. The Pinyi Cuifeng and Quanshibao F1 has been identical for me among the same types. Also weight is so far consistent for me. They are really worth a try and I wish they would be available on aliexpress or...
  6. Weird looking Tibhar blade?!

    That looks like the blade that was made for Damien Eloi back in the day.
  7. Help with forehand rubber

    Way more complicated to buy, but so far the consistency for me has been stellar. Much better than H3N BS, in fact it's been so stellar that ESN should worry. DHS of course doesn't need to worry, they can sell any BS H3N even if a horse shit it out, but other companies should be scared.
  8. Best Chinese sticky rubbers that don't need boosting

    Let me add 729 Battle 3 Tiger or Discovery 4 version (fuck if I know) I would put this somewhere above H3N, but only because it's slow but the spin is really there and in a way it's quite quirky, my opponents really hate it. Since it's slow it allowed me to go to balls to the walls power and...
  9. Help with forehand rubber

    I recommend you to try Pinyi Cuifeng blue sponge or Quanshibao F1. No need to boost them and they act like boosted 40 degree H3 blue sponge, maybe a bit faster and a bit less spin but right up there with H3. The biggest challenge is to get them, because they are only available on taobao, so if...
  10. The best W968 Clones without the W968 price

    CVT sounds like a really shitty gearbox to me :eek:
  11. Easier rubber than Donic Bluestorm PRO

    Fastarc G1?
  12. Is putting a towel and paper on my rubber a good alternative for silica gel when putting it on my 3rd party racket case?

    I bought Victas activated carbon, I keep it in my case all the time. https://www.nishohi.com/en/victas-activated-carbon-sheet
  13. Review: Sanwei Target National - Player Edition (Gordanga)

    Well technically Xuperman is the brand name, not the rubber name. If you look at an old Sriver it says Tamasu Co Ltd on it. That is actually Butterfly's founder name. Japanese players to this day call it Tamasu more often than Butterfly. Dr Neubauer, Sauer & Troger are companies created by the...
  14. Review: Sanwei Target National - Player Edition (Gordanga)

    Dr. Neubauer and Sauer & Troger has a few. Tibhar = Tibor Harangozó if it counts. I guess Butterfly could be counted since Tamasu Co is named after the founder who was a player. 🌚 I'm sure there are many more, just a few I could think besides Xuperman and this Sanwei rubber.
  15. How a table tennis rubber looks after cleaning (compared to before)

    I recon even in this state it's still better than 90% of all other rubbers 😅
  16. Importance of gluing well

    You could draw a line around your racket with a pen on your sponge and then you know how much to spread the glue. But glue is cheap and like I said before using too less is bad maybe adding extra is better and just cover the whole square. I cover the whole thing too, it's not needed and...
  17. Looking for a fast backhand rubber with good spin

    Victas V>15 series, Gewo Nexxus XT series. Stiga Mantra Pro series.
  18. Best racket case?

    Actually I would advice against non-hard cases. Hard cases protect (based how hard they are) against impacts. I have seen where some player fell on another players backpack and broke his racket. Had he used a hard case maybe he would still use that blade. Is this likely to happen to you? No...
  19. Best racket case?

    Hhhhhhhh I know a guy who has many rackets too and plays with all of them. He uses a shoebox 🌚
  20. I want to buy A DHS Hurricane 3 Blue Sponge from tabletennis11

    I would also advise aliexpress, but I wouldn't say absolutely do not buy from tt11. It's a very good shop, but the hurricanes there are indeed overpriced.
