Quick fix (what I would do): Bend/press top ply down to make the surface even, put a bit super glue on the dent (from the center ply), let it dry. If necessary glue back in the piece of wood or use wood dust and super glue to fill the dent in the top ply and sand down (400 or 600 grit) to get an...

Is Xu Xin left-handed, right-handed or ambidextrous? https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/xu-xin-righthanded.8271/

Found this one from ATTU Asia Cup 2025 https://english.news.cn/20250220/9bc0f493c92e4cd9942fca8d33778b64/c.html https://www.gettyimages.de/detail/nachrichtenfoto/lin-gaoyuan-of-china-competes-in-the-mens-singles-nachrichtenfoto/2200824742?adppopup=true Still not really readable but it does not...

Gewo Codexx if it's more pink than purple. Maybe a special Bold Dragon? Currently sold with red topsheet and yellow sponge and black topsheet and purple sponge but I think that the topsheet could be opaque enough for a darker sponge.

If they have the same quality as e.g. the Nittaku H3N (NR-8701/provincial H3N but cheaper) than at least the harder version could be an option. Prott.vip sells the provincial H8-80 for 43 USD without taxes, Nittaku wants 6000 Yen/40.12 without taxes. What I don't get is the purpose of the 35°...

I would add that it has quite a long trajectory and works really good for Truls-style punch and chop blocks. Pushing backspin currently tends to easily go into the net (needs more upward lifting than I'm used to) but looping it is just fine.

Slightly... Bought one for 21.39€ now 22.79€ incl. VAT Medium soft, red, max, 88g with packaging, 65g with plastic foil (170 mm x 170 mm) so should be below or around 44g cut. Feels like 37°/38° DHS/Shore A (currently no unboosted H3N 37 available for comparison ;)). Packaging smells like old...

I would say that this is typical for all ESN rubbers (ESN produces every rubber Made in Germany) . When I used to play with ESN rubbers on BH like Vega Pro, BlueStorm Z2, V>15, V>11 etc. usually the sponge failed first (no power, no arc but a bit booster could rejuvenate the sponge for some...

"WTT is finalising the implementation of this rule in the WTT Handbook, with the first eligible event being WTT Champions Incheon 2025 (1 – 6 April)." We just have to wait and see what they actually implement.

Some sort of pips/anti? Than it might be from Germany https://www.noppenladen.shop/ They sell specially treated pips and antis.

Contact point/racket before and after contacting the ball (YT still has the TT friendly option to pause the video and use . and , to step forward and backward through the frames)

Exactly. My problem is that I started back in the 1980s. Long strokes everywhere. Stopped playing for too long and started again a couple of years back. So my default mode still is a somewhat long stroke. It is powerful but the higher I'm playing the more often these shots are returned with...

If you have the time or need to loop e.g. heavy backspin than starting more from the side (and using hip rotation etc.) is a good option to generate the required space to accelerate but not so much if we want to stay in a fast rally. I'm currently trying to break this habit myself and also to...

One additional data point: I still have my old (from the 1980s) Persson Powerplays which are perfectly fine to play. Blades were never sealed and we used speed glued, normal rubber cement or bicycle glue. Koto top plies became darker, more yellowish over the years but this is afaik just natural...

Yep, sometimes one has to read between the lines or watch a couple of other videos to understand what they actually mean. FH wrist action when looping: Wang Kai vs Fang Bo

Exactly. Nothing changed during my nearly 30 year TT hiatus... Some can play against anti or long pips regardless how these were treated and some don't.

Don't know why their website isn't working here but their catalogue is still online https://flbook.com.cn/c/VubLi8CH4p By pricing the ranking would be Arthur, than Telson, Rxton and Kirin (works for all blades if I didn't miss something) but there are some rubbers like the Kirin K5 which are...
