  1. What makes more difference - rubbers or blades

    Then all beginners should use the fastest blade possible? Because they can’t get any effect from the blade? it’s Interesting which way to go when a total beginner starts playing regarding choice of blade / rubber. Because they have no experience of what’s fast, what’s slow what’s spinny what...

  2. What makes more difference - rubbers or blades

    Then you should get better performance from D09C than G09C on the dead blade. Also ‘performance’ is ability biased. A blade or rubber does nothing until used by a person. A strong player is still way more likely to play better with a poor blade/good rubber combo or good blade/poor rubber combo...

    I played with the Z03 on my BH on Tuesday and got on ok with it, some more adjustment was needed compared to the FH. I didn’t feel ‘overpowered’ by it, faster than the Xiom O8 China and a softer feel. I decided to buy a second sheet with the 2.5mm sponge. That arrived today and was glued in...

    I could double shuffle. But I short lunge and straight arm stretch!! Not good!!!

    I suffer from too much sideways lunging as such. Moving to the right to pick up a half court smash or drive down the tramline, stepping out with right leg, lunge. This movement is so in grown that when aball goes wide to my FH in Tt that movement kicks in!! One tip I picked up regarding...

    Things seem back to front for me!! With T05/19 & D09C I never really felt like I could loop well, and dwell felt very short. It’s the opposite or feels opposite for me, dwell is likely to be short but Z03 and the blade combo transfers a better feeling for me. As always it’s down to how the...

  7. Looking for a fast backhand rubber with good spin

    If you want a hybrid rubber then Loki Arthur China or Xiom omega 8 China/hybrid could be an option, reasonable speed good spin.

    This is the main reason that I don’t play Badminton these days!! Knees can’t handle the pressure. They respond by attacking the nervous system with pain!!

    Badminton movement is a completely different animal in my opinion. I played to a fairly high level, been coached by county and national level coaches. What I found was my reaction time was greatly improved when I started to play Table Tennis again, at the net I could react quicker and cut out...

    Tenergy(s), Dignics & Zyre 03 are all capable of producing high spin levels. From what I’m reading many of you don’t think that Zyre 03 has the same spin capability. As I’ve said before, perhaps Z03 is a like / hate rubber? After you glue a rubber - whats the 1st thing you do? Yeah, you...

    Review by 'IB66' on item 'Zyre 03'

    I am writing this review based on using Zyre 03 on the FH wing using an ALL WOOD blade. I am a level 1 TTE approved coach, the lowest level of coach. I play local league table tennis, depending on the league in question either Prem or Div 1. This gives you and idea of my standard of play. I have...

    I can see why the short game is harder, doesn’t appear to be the case with all wood blades. I have noticed some balls sliding off the rubber, just on FH flick when you don’t commit properly. A technique issue.

    Hi vvk1, what blade is he using?

  16. Butterfly Zyre 03

    Both O8 China and Hybrid seem to be pretty durable compared to to J&H H52 and maybe J&H C55. I still have 08 China on BH for both of my match bats. On the FH one has O8H the other Z03 After 3-4 months they still play well, when you use a bat it can be hard to ‘realise’ how the rubber has...

    Xiom Omega 8 H seems fair well regarding durability compared to Xiom J&H H52, the sheets I have show no real signs of wear after a good number of months. With the J&H after 4 - 8 weeks the top sheet clearly showed signs of use, and the grippyness faded on the areas of wear. O8H is not likely to...

    Xiom Omega 8 Hybrid priced at around €53 (£48) ish. Zyre 03 priced at €89 (£89) is Zyre 03 double the rubber compared to O8H ?? Nah!!

    2nd time out with the Zyre 03 on FH, even better than the 1st session!! Played a couple of games at the end of coaching, so I used match serves etc Serves were spin loaded and way more controlled than with T05,T19,D09C, as was short game pushes. By controlled, the catapult isn’t there in the...

    I'm looking forward to playing with this rubber again!! Maybe it's me, I found dwell on FH to be fine. Short game was good, serves as well. Looping felt better with Zyre03 compared to any other BTY rubbers I've used. BH wing ?? I'll give it more time than I did 1st time out.
