  1. Liang Jingkun signs with LOKI

    I don't keep up with a lot of other brands of blades, but isn't it unusual to see limba on this type of blade? I think the two nicest ones I got, w81 was it? They're both koto
  2. Yay! Trump removed 145% tariffs from China

    I keep looking and I don't see anything about the $800 exception being lifted. Personally, I hope they don't. It wouldn't be fair for me to pay a tariff but customers can go directly to China and pay none.
  3. Bad cheap chinese glue

    I don't know why everybody doesn't just use tearmender
  4. ITTF did lost money a lot. How and Why.

    Technically it is illegal to use the ittf logo without approval. As to whether the use is against ittf policy, I'd need to know the reasoning. If it's just becasue it's under different sponges, I'm not sure that counts, and I seriously doubt Igor knows what color of sponges yinhe may have sent...
  5. Which foam sponge do you use to apply glue?

    Britt from OKC club gave me this advice a long time ago and it was great. I don't use a lot of latex glue but I do need it on a few rubbers. He turned me on to some foam insulation in walmart. I think it was air conditioning foam or RV I can't remember which. But you can get a strip of it a...
  6. Identification of the sponge is due and overdue.

    I told Emese my opinion. He continues to say the only concern is to approve how the color of sponge affects the topsheet
  7. Identification of the sponge is due and overdue.

    well, it was that way for a long time. Other than the fact that there is a variety, what is the harm in customizing?
  8. Identification of the sponge is due and overdue.

    I was told by Emise Barsai that it was still ok to mix and match pips out, but that inverted should now be factory assembled only. They don't want the random mixing of sponges. Why? The only reason I can come up with is that a dark sponge under a red top may not be bright enough. I can see...
  9. Advice on H3 (qc issue or just the new version?)

    I've seen h3 get less and less tacky over the years. I can imagine if you put the topsheets I'm seeing now onto a harder sponge, it could be very hard to generate spin
  10. Carbon/Composite Blade with an All Wood Feel

    yinhe w1 if you can still fine one
  11. Blades with Vibrations

    If you don't have nittaku money for an acoustic, nor a yasaka markV even, try the yinhe w6. It has a similar tone
  12. Impact of US Tariffs policies on equipment price

    So far I haven't paid any. Maybe as the 2nd approaches if there's no change in policy. I've heard some shipping companies in China aren't sailing to the US. If you think about over 100% tariffs realistically, the ports would probably back up quickly with forfeited goods
  13. Impact of US Tariffs policies on equipment price

    You'd have to be willing to lie about country of origin
  14. Impact of US Tariffs policies on equipment price

    Are you referring to the ending of the $800 exception? The extra tariffs? Both are scheduled for the 2nd
  15. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    The bd2 I got clearly had orange dhs sponge, where bd uses a blue friendship sponge.
  16. Is the 2nd layer in this pic Limba or Ayous?

    Looks to me like maybe tong in the core
  17. Liang Jingkun signs with LOKI

    yinhe makes blades for other companies. i don't think they are using anybody elses. now they may have a sponsored player with a handle change but I can't imagine any other reason. when wang nan switched to dhs, she was so used to her 729sp that they sent a mold to friendship to make a batch...
  18. Liang Jingkun signs with LOKI

    You'd be shocked how many blade samples I got from Yinhe that had other brand names on them. Big names, medium names, other Chinese names. Some names if I posted them people would be mad.
  19. Liang Jingkun signs with LOKI

    I just placed an exploratory order with loki and they told me they don't have the ljk blade yet. Even 1 to sample
  20. How do I improve my backhand? (closed)

    I think if you keep your elbow out far enough the rest will fall into place naturally
