  1. T05, what hardness?

    What's the hardness of Tenergy 05 in ESN scale? I did quite a bit of research and have found a ton of conflicting info, some saying it's 46, others say it's 45, others say it's 47 or 47,5...
  2. Is Rosewood worth it?

    Hello! The last few years I've gone on a long search for the perfect blade. I tried viscaria, but it was too sensitive, I liked it, but didn't really give me confidence in the match. Clipper was good, but had too low throw. Intensity was perfect play wise, but it's too hard and requires a lot...
  3. Rosewood/Walnut, help

    I have used Stiga Intensity NCT for 2 years now, I like it, it's light but quite hard, not as much as a yeo, but still hard. I bought it because I had played with my coach's Rose 5 and I loved how delicate it felt, I was told it was similar to the Rose and I just went for it, it was a lot...
  4. Defense with penhold?

    I was on Butterfly's page on insta and there was a guy going on and on for how they should release the diode pro for pen because, apparently, many players use long pips defence with rpb. I've never seen that or heard about it, is it legit or just another dude that forgot to take his morning meds?
  5. Faster equipment doesn't always mean less control. (Viscaria/Intensity)

    Hello! A few days ago I found my old Viscaria and glued my rubbers on it. I immediately felt more control and more shots landed on the table. For the past year I've been using stiga Intensity with various rubbers including tenergy, bluestorm, goldarc, calibra tour. Viscaria is softer than the...
  6. What's the weight of T05 and FX?

    Pretty self explanatory, currently I'm using goldarc 8 47,5 max and Bluestorm Z3 2,1. Would the weight differ too much? I haven't used T05 in years and I don't have any old sheets laying around.
  7. Lemuria Dynasty copy

    This is the link if anyone wants to see it. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EugsO7L Has anyone tried it?
  8. Faster defensive long pips?

    I've been using yinhe neptune for years and it's starting to feel slow and hard to play with. Blade is palio chop 1, diode v clone. Should I get something like c&f 3, or just replace the sponge with a 1mm German or Japanese sponge?
  9. Suggestions for wood filler to repair blade?

    Hello, Over a few weeks of trying to get used to my blade, I accidentally oversanded the wings and now I need to add back material. I tried superglue and wood shavings, and even though the result was really good, it was also really hard to work with. It took me about 3-4 hours to do very little...
  10. Tenergy 09c in LARC?

    So I just saw this in the ITTF LARC: The mighty Tenergy 09C. Also there's apparently a Tenergy 05N? I'm guessing it's some sort of coding for tenergy rubber made for national teams? There's just so many weird rubbers from many companies, Idk anymore...
  11. Vendor says sticky protection films destroy tacky rubbers.

    I was in a tt shop a few days ago and I was discussing with the vendor about the new hybrids and their effectiveness. If course he says that tacky rubbers are a gimmick that cannot compete with tenergy, not like almost everyone in the top 20 plays with some form of tacky rubber but ok...
  12. What FH rubber to choose? (pen)

    Hello! Recently I started playing cpen and I built a new setup, YEO, Hurricane 2 neo and Vega Euro. I like the blade and Vega because I used a similar setup when I played shake. Originaly I had bought a Skyline 2 neo but they sent me a Hurricane 2, which feels very weird, I don't really like...
  13. What should I learn first and how do I proceed?

    Hello! I started penhold a bit before Christmas and want to learn on what I should focus first. I have been playing for over 6 years and from now I'll be practicing 5 days a week. So I have decent experience and have also competed in local league. Regarding penhold, my coach doesn't know the...
  14. Hurricane 3-50 or H3 Neo soft (37 degrees)?

    Hello! I saw that there are two verions of the Hurricane 3 that are softer than normal, the Hurricane 3-50 and 37 degree version of the normal NEO Hurricane 3, has anyone played them both? how are they different? Thanks.
  15. Any YEO replacement/copy?

    I'd love to not experiment and just get the yeo since it's cheap, but I want it in penhold and cannot for the life of me find it anywhere... Not tt11 or dandoy, or tteu or anywhere...
  16. BH rubber seletion for a noob

    Hello and sorry for spamming the forum section, but this is gonna be the last post for a while until I need help again. A bit of history, I've been playing since 2016 and currently I'm at A' local level, but it's gotten stale and want to spice things up by learning penhold, my fav is Xu Xin so...
  17. What's a good Chinese bh rubber?

    I'm always on the search for good rubber deals. Do you know of any Chinese cheap bh rubbers? Preferably on the softer end, but even if it's medium, some baby oil will fix it. Dhs rubbers have been getting pretty expensive lately, a few years ago I remember h3 cost 18€, now the lowest is 27...
  18. Is PingPongOnline trustworthy?

    I saw that this shop has very cheap Stiga blades and would save quite a bit from ordering from there. Is it a real shop? Has anyone ever ordered from there? I don't see any indications for if the items are available and owner/s hasn't responded to my email. This is the link...
  19. Same handles? (Stiga-Yasaka)

    I read on an old forum that stiga and yasaka use very similar straight and flare handles, and would like to ask if that's the case on dimensions of the penhold. I have a stiga Azalea and I sold a few things to buy a new blade, cause the Azalea is heavy af. The yeo pen looks interesting but I...
  20. Skyline, TG series and TG neo series, what's up with all this???

    Hello, I'm sorry for making so many posts, but I'm sure more have this question. I've seen that there are a few different versions of the DHS Skyline rubbers, I'll use the Skyline 2 for refference. What are their differences, are they the same rubber with each iteration having a more advanced...
