  1. Butterfly Zyre 03

    It is a marmite rubber. If marmite cost £90 a jar. Best advice is to try someone else's setup if you can before you purchase. I've seen some incredible play with it locally - when it works for a player, it really works. But very much NOT a one size fits all. The Dang Qiu comments were...

    Truls ran out of tokens. A very strange match....
  4. WTT Champions Montpellier 2025, 10/28-11/2

    This event, man. It's great. When a french player is on, the crowd is fantastic. The closest to the old European atmosphere we used to have back in the 80s. I'd travel to watch this.

    There is glue on it, and it's only available in max at TT11 so a little on the heavy side.

    My word, that was cruel for Bruna. Amazing performance, very fine margins.
  9. Ovtcharov New racket ??

    Anything's possible I guess! The S1 isn't made in Japan and has an oval badge on the end of the handle, and has a darker wood outer ply. But in other footage of the match I can see the made-in-Japan square badge, and the top ply looks lighter. Honestly, it's anyone's guess but seems like...

    He can't be using the S1, might be a custom handle with that lens in.

    That looks like the Ovtcharov S1 lens in the handle....

    Something must have gone on. Maybe Anton hasn't bought a copy of Truls' book?
  13. BH Alternatives to Rasanter R45

    Sorry, didn't weigh it this time. If I move it to a different blade I'll do it then and update here.

    I really like R45, it can always be boosted after a few months if you want to dabble in that. I've messed around with other rubbers over he last 12 months but always go back to R45 on my backhand. In the 45 degree ESN space: Evolution FX-D - very similar to R45, probably same issue with...
  15. Butterfly Zyre 03

    I've had a couple of sessions with Zyre now, 2.5mm, black. It was too much juice for me on my usual inner-alc blade options (Andro VCI, BTY Innerforce ALC). Was workable on Xiom ZL Pro. Tried it tonight on a Ma Lin Carbon, and that's the best fit for me. I wouldn't want to go any slower on...
  16. Upgrading from BRIBAR: Seeking the Right Balance of Spin, Power, and Control

    Control doesn't come from equipment - it comes from you. The faster / spinnier you go from where you are now, the lower your control will be initially. You'll regain control over time if your technique is good, and/or you are having regular productive practice sessions with a good coach...
  17. ITTF-ATTU Asian Teams Championships 2025, Bhubaneswar, 10/11-15

    These guys are amazing. Are they AI generated, or just hallucinating in general?
  18. Butterfly Zyre 03

    It looks like a rubber made for Togami, but not sure it's for players like me who are more like Yo-Mammi. I like NL's "know-your-enemy" reasoning though. Good to give myself a justification to buy one, thanks man I'll use that one more often. I like this review, I know the level is high but...
  19. Butterfly Zyre 03

    Murdered by the hype cannon. I couldn't get 2.7mm from him, so at least there's more chance the packet will fit through my letterbox now with 2.5mm. He'll restock soon I'm sure.
  20. Butterfly Zyre 03

    Bah, $88 at prott. I'll give it a go at that price.
