As DHS says: "In addition, in different periods, top-notch players such as Ma Long will have different requirements for the viscosity of the rubber or the hardness of the sponge, which requires fine-tuning. Therefore, there are slight differences in the national sets of different stars, and...

See https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/dhs-fans-unite.28518/post-529310 for links to the source That was translated using Google Translate so maybe it is not 100% correct. In my area I would assume that they mean that the thickness can be nominal thickness ± 0.05 mm (which would...

Loki Telson CNF Slower also with a quite soft, woody feeling and quite some flex: Loki Rxton 5 Pro Provincial. The Loki Rxton 7 Pro should feel similar but is thicker (supposedly thicker core). Xiom also had such a blade but they decided to stop producing it (plus a limited run a couple of...

You could try thinning the glue with a bit of tap water. That's what I ended up doing when I tried to use such thick glues instead of Revolution. Drying: Still sometimes air drying but usually hair dryer. Makes no difference for me. Rubbers: MX-P and other ESN rubbers usually shrink a bit...

Prott.vip also sells Yuan Jian blades: https://www.prott.vip/Product-List.aspx?producttype=96 Timo Boll ALC/Spirit is not the same as a Viscaria/FZD/ZJK ALC according to TTGearLab's data https://ttgearlab.com/2024/03/15/performance-indices-db-outer-fiber-blades/ As Sland said: if the LGY ALC...

I usually decide if and how much I need to reboost when I reglue after a while (less training/matches more time between reboosts). Typically: one layer if the rubber is flat, two layers if the rubber has a reverse dome and the topsheet is still good enough. The other thing which usually holds is...

Boosting itself is not that complicated. To get a feeling for it just take an old (dumped) rubber and try it. Boosting H3N: Some remove the glue layer first, some boost through that glue layer, some remove the glue layer and apply a new glue layer and boost and so on. Nowadays I'm lazy and...

We are currently around mid-season so I didn't play that much with it and it is not on one of my normal blades which are also faster... What I can say is that it has a similar medium/medium-low trajectory as a H3BS on that blade but higher than Telson 100 475 for sure. Base speed (light...

Skachkov and the (supposedly) identical Baum Esprit have a larger head size than all the other blades mentioned (160 mm x 152 mm). My Esprit is even after sanding/filing it down to a normal head size a lot less crispy than e.g. a V14Pro or Viscaria.

Full match (just a bit longer ;)):

Donic Zhang Jike Original, 729 NB49, DHS Hurricane Long 5A (different fiber), FZD ALC (slightly different handle). Slower with more control: Depends on current blade's weight. Maybe a slightly less heavy Viscaria is enough. But before I would pay that much for an ordinary off-the-shelf blade...

39° and 40° on FH, 37° and 38° on BH. Depends on what I'm using on BH (currently Battle 3 38°) and time of year because quite some venues over here are not reasonably heated in winter and not cooled in summer. Boosted with two thin layers of Seamoon 2 and reboosted once or twice depending on...

Mostly AliExpress 1), glue and some non-Chinese equipment from local stores 2), and even Butterfly Europe is not that far away from where I live ;) 1) Global Sports Store, Table Tennis World Store, Champion Table Tennis Store, XVT, Goo, Beo, HWSPORT Store, Chinese PingPong, Playa PingPong...

Seems like B2 with blue topsheet and blue sponge is at least available in 39° and 40° https://aliexpress.com/item/1005009878792277.html

This sounds tempting although I haven't had any issues with various H3(N)s (commercial, provincial, Nittaku, orange and blue sponge) but some issues with ESN rubbers e.g. V>15 Stiff with a harder sponge than V>15 Extra. Durability of ESN hybrid rubbers is just not comparable to (even boosted)...

Tight budget but doable: All-wood blades from slow to fast: Yasaka Sweden Extra, Donic Persson Powerplay or Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive. Even cheaper 729 Z-1, Loki Kirin K5 or 729 Rosewood 5. Carbon blades: 729 Blue Arylate (outer), 729 Yellow Arylate (inner), Loki Rxton 5 Pro Provincial...

Maybe Loki Telson 100. It is fast when necessary, still short game is good, and low arc (too low for my liking) but I don't know the mentioned Yinhe rubbers. ESN rubbers: Evolution MX-P comes to mind. Usually somewhere on offer.

Table Tennis World Store on AliExpress sells 37, 38, 39, 40, 41 in red and black https://aliexpress.com/item/1005009239802728.html Catalogue mentions only 40° for this version https://book.yunzhan365.com/ogvga/mmss/mobile/index.html#p=22 Text mentions 37 to 41...

Some data for Rxton 7 National, red, 38°: 100g incl. vacuum package, 75g with foil on topsheet. Boosted with two thin layers Seamon 2 and cut to 157 mm x 150 mm: 48g - 49g. Sponge came with a glue layer similar to H3N. No bad smell.
