I think we're at an era that it's always hard rubbers. Then the blade is whatever you can handle. Softer rubbers are fine until you face someone that hits hard loops

That philosophy is a bit dated now. It was for the 38 mm and 40 mm era. These days most beginners and intermediate players start with something like the Clipper or similar 7 ply all wood. The Sanwei Fextra is a good example of a clipper that plays well and doesn't break the bank.

Depends on your level really, and how you like to win points. I've found the 3+2 hinoki structure (think Primorac carbon) to be excellent for blocking and hitting once the rally starts, but you may come to miss the feeling and the precision of all wood 7 ply. Again, your milage may vary.

J3 is less tacky than LAC, and therefore faster.

What a BEAUTIFUL blade :)

I struggled to find reviews even on Chinese forums. Seems like it's quite unpopular :(

Depends on thickness of booster. If you used something like FTL and didn't spread it out well enough, it'll do that.

Roughly 52 in the ESN scale

How do you find the topsheet grip? I feel like it's less grippy than red, which makes it less spin sensitive too though.

A lot of threads have become toxic arguments between petulant forumers.

At this point, I may get a better answer buying the bloody thing and trying SP on it than wait haha

Has anyone tried this with pips yet? There's a video of a HK coach using long pip, I wonder if short pip would be nice on it.

I like the Sword hd5. Same construction, has that trampoline feel that the real one has, except it is more handle balanced, so the amplication of power isn't as pronounce.

So according to these "official" sellers, hurricane 9 will have red and black ON TOP OF those fancy colours. http://www.dku51.com/article-12614.html

For Magnus' sake, I hope Firouzja wins the candidates.

How'd you find the presto's spin? I remember I had trouble lifting backspin with it, especially by brush looping. It was fine for SP style flat hitting.

Hoping to see your thoughts on the H8-80 and later the H9 series :)

True. China's provincial level is nothing to scoff at. It's easily comparable to most countries' top league.

This is from a time when I started tt...90s? 2000s?
