Never heard of this company from Korea before just read the test on TTGearLab (great review as always!). https://ttgearlab.com/2026/01/28/xilla-legato-centerforce-series-lab-test-report/ Outer version seems to be comparable to the DHS TG506A with even deeper hold (Ec/Ep) and with an unusual...

Stiga AC (and Donic Applegren Allplay)? These were considered to be on the slower side when we had 38 mm celluloid balls. Today I would start with something like Yasaka Sweden Extra or Primorac but around 85g otherwise especially the Primorac vibrates way to much for my liking. Technically not...

As ShakehandJpenCpenEnjoyer already said: the gap in performance is by far not that big as the price difference might suggest. E,g, Viscaria is 170€ over here whereas a Loki Telson Speed or Yinhe V14 Pro costs around 33€. Telson Speed and V14 Pro come factory sealed and are well made. Other...

Carbon blades: Loki Telson Speed (new version, Viscaria structure) Loki Telson China (HL5(x) structure) but also the other Telson blades 1) 729 Blue Advance/Blue AD (feels like Super ALC when compared to Telson Speed or 729 Blue Arylate). 729 Yellow Arylate (HL5 structure) 729 Yellow...

Did the rubbers had a significant dome 1) after the second layer? If not than you probably applied really thin layers of boosters. That's not bad at all and for sure not overboosted. Just play with them for a while and decide if you like the feeling or if the effect is not strong enough...

For the Non-Neo I would say that this is normal. Neo with the factory glue layer still on should take longer. Did you put a second booster layer on? If so than that layer should take much longer to be fully absorbed and the sponge feels dry again. Weeks to months. Depends on the booster...

I only had the Taichi 37/39 not the 39/37 because I thought that it would be a better fit for BH. It is a bit slow below a certain say threshold (its not an abrupt change). Above that one can feel that the rubber has more power than a normal 37 rubber. Easy to play with a medium/medium low (not...

These blades are still good blades although they were not designed for the current balls. If I were Yasaka I would add a thicker Ma Lin Carbon and an affordable, made in Sweden, outer carbon Viscaria-style blade ;) Some specifications changed already: Ma Lin Extra Offensive was listed with a...

Yes, FZD did use D09C but as mentioned before Dortmund neither uses Tibhar balls nor Tibhar tables. H3 likes ZeroT (supposedly this is just a relabeled DHS DJ40+) in almost all playing conditions :) H3 dislikes Nittaku Premium, Nexcel, and JTop especially in humid conditions (never played with...

Glayzer 09C, red, 2.1 mm, 99g and 100g including package, 74g and 75g uncut with protective foil on, 43g and 44g cut to standard Butterfly head size 157 mm x 150 mm, 88 mm at the handle. Can't remember how many Revolution No. 3 glue layers usually 2 + 2 or 3 + 2. Glued with some stretch and/or...

NR-8701 is a H3Neo OS with I would say at least DHS provincial quality. Mine felt a bit harder than 39°. Nittaku claims 42.5° Japanese scale. They usually add 10 to get ESN hardness which in turn would be around 39.5/40 Shore A. Never tried it unboosted. Definitely worth its price when bought...

What we (at least I) don't know is if the Nittaku H8-80 Power is the same as a normal, higher quality H8-80 37° or if it has a different(ly treated) sponge. NR-8788, H8-80 38 in a normal package https://www.nittaku.com/products/rubbers/post-72 NR-8789, H8-80 Power 37 in a different package...

Somewhat both :) Would be great if one of these B3 versions is soft enough to be played without boosting. Not an issue on FH (simply get a degree less than I would for H3) but on BH the softest version is 38 which feels/felt like 39 DHS.

Different viewing angle FZD vs Dima

I'm currently using 38° red on BH, two layers Seamoon 2 initially and one additional layer after regluing on different Viscaria-type blades (koto, something carbon, ayous, kiri). Works really well but I would prefer a slightly softer version. Maybe the new B3 versions are exactly that. Some...

I've linked the patent application before :) https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/ttd-team-spin-challenge-with-world-champion.38450/post-553251 or https://patents.google.com/patent/EP4121779B1/en It includes information about the dot distribution, dot sizes, number of dots, infrared...

"less adaption" not "zero adaption". It's still a Chinese rubber after all and B3 prefers a thicker contact/more hitting through than H3 to get the best out of it ;) You could also try different balls 1) 1)...

Yu Heyi as in Yu Heyi who won against Liang Jingkun? Didn't expect that any of these players use something different than H3BS on their FHs. Do they need to be aired like the normal B3s which stink for days/weeks if not? Do they feel like 38 DHS or more like 39 DHS like my red B3s that I...

Arthroscopy might be necessary to actually see the damage. MRI and CT can miss some damages. Depending on the damage (getting a second opinion could be a good idea) I would also suggest getting surgery to prevent later problems like osteoarthritis.
