The blade has got to feel good in your hand. Table tennis is such a mental game where you need to be playing with intent. If you have any doubt your performance will drop dramatically. The smallest doubt in your gear like you have is what can cause errors through hesitation/fear resulting in a...

Is this similar to the D09C effect where if you have the ability to actually activate the sponge it has strong catapult but if you don't it feels dead? A player at my club has the Z but I haven't had a hit with it yet so curious.

G1 is a good trade between higher end performance and not being spin sensitive. Only strange thing about the G1 is the lack of grip on slow balls, which makes in not react to spin but the ball can slip. Strange test of the G1 is drag a ball across it quickly and it grips, drag a ball across it...

One of my mates uses the G09C and agree, underrated. About 80% of D09C players would be better off with the easier to activate G09C in a match situation IMO.

Not as good as the G1 but basically nothing is. I am new to the T05 and the T05FX (H3, D09C and G1 background) and lots of players play with the T05 at my club. General view is if you look after it, it will last. The T05FX is very light. I have it on my BH as I wanted to try both the T05 FH and...

Go the T05 but with a thinner sponge. You will also gain the advantage of it being better at dealing with slow spin as the G1 is slips

Side note, why not just faster rubbers?

Just marketing rubbish. I think this stuff is used to give an indication only of what they are like for based around the different style of players and what they are looking for within the range a company sells. But I wouldn't see these angles etc as exactly what you expect as it comes down to...

Rakza 7 soft is great for kids.

I am responding for the thread and the OP, not for you as I can see what you are doing. They have a confidence issue attacking and a higher level player has recommended using a softer rubber as they can see the player can't control with the H3. Going to a harder to use rubber like the D09C is...

The D09C is a hard rubber so you need high racket speed to activate the sponge and get a predictable response from the sponge. It also has a small amount of catapult and a high arc compared to the H3 which makes it none linear compared to the H3. Meaning it is prone to pop the ball when you have...

I agree. I have come from H3 and it is a complete shock at how easy looping and fast attacks are with the T05.

Get the Tenergy 05 but avoid the max thickness...just get 1.9mm. Your game will improve over night as you will gain confidence in attacking as this rubber makes you want to attack....will change your game. If you like tacky focused rubbers that are not at this price point...get the Battle 3...

St I would stay well clear of the D09C. It will kill your confidence as this is a very high level rubber requiring very high racket speed, excellent foot movement and lots of physical effort. When I play people with this rubber I know they are going to have problems controlling my spin.

I am new to the T05 and also the FX coming from a tacky rubber background....I had heard that the T05 is a special rubber and only have a month of using it... completely agree. It is easy speed and spin and with the right technique, you get that clicking sound and it is a killer. I find this...

Just because something is new, doesn't mean it is better. They always have to release something new for the sole purpose to stay relevant in a competitive market. I am new to the Tenergy 05 and it is clearly superior to many modern rubbers on the market.

Yasaka Resonate AI. I have a few of these and good with spinny rubbers like the H3 (gives the rubber lots of power) and good with pimples as it has good control but still has that power in it when needed. Has a thicker outer wood which has good feel and transfers power when you need it and...

Battle 3 properly the better rubber for most players in my view.

I would suggest putting the films on the right way to avoid the branding being absorbed by the rubber. Oxygen and ozone and rubbers is bad...you must make a vacuum seal with a film.

Yeah this pale edge and performance drop to me definitely sounds like the edge of the rubber has unfortunately had oxidation. I would question the cleaner but I am also concerned about the rubber protection you are using. To me it sounds like the edges have not stuck down properly and let air...
