  1. Why does Butterfly make sponges in 2.1 and 1.9mm?

    I notice that Butterfly makes their rubbers in 2.1mm and 1.9mm. Most Esn rubbers are 2.2 or 2.0mm. Why is this? Is it because BTY uses thicker topsheets and the total rubber is the same thickness as esn? Or is it because BTY total rubber thickness is lower than esn? Is there a benefit or...

  3. Nittaku Flyatt Spin and Rigan Spin?

    Somebody came to the club yesterday and sported rackets with these 2 rubbers. They are both from Nittaku, and they look like ESN made rubbers. I've never heard of these before, but are they any good. Why are they so under the radar?
  4. What happens if ball is wet in a tournament?

    What happens if the ball is wet and it slips off the rubber going straight into the net. Is it up to the unpire to call a let? Or is the receiver just unlucky?
  5. Major League TT

    What is this new event? It seems pretty interesting with some interesting names in there. How does it work? Does each team get a draft pick? If so, why would Kou Lei and MA Jinbao be so low?
  6. Tezzo Blade Series

    I just noticed this cool video featuring our own @Matt Hetherington Honestly I think it's done quite well and we need more videos like this to clarify all the confusing offerings out there A couple questions: Where are these blades made? Obviously the Tezzo Warrior has similar construction as...

  9. Miracle of Long 5

    I gotta hand it, this is a great blade. My friend let me borrow it this week, so I put my usual Bloom Power on the fh, and a borrowed Tenergy 64 on bh. I tried it for the first time, and with almost no practice, I finally beat the 2200 penhold player 3-2 that I thought was unbeatable 2 months...
  10. Stiga Cybershape, is it good?

    Today I tried out a new guy's cyberblade. It had H3 national on fh and D05 on bh. Honestly it felt very very similar to my $11 Sanwei CC and im not even exaggerating. They have a similar construction so Im not surprised they feel similar. Cyberblade has a very soft feeling and what Gan calls a...
  11. Hurricane 8, underrated, overlooked rubber?

    It's weird, nobody ever talks about Hurricane 8. All the talk is always about H3. I was curious about Hurricane 8 since it seems Chen Meng and Sun Yinsha use it. I tried boosted H8 today, and I am blown away. This rubber is fantastic. It's got hardness and gears, its fast, its spinny, its...
  12. Anybody tried Air Assassin rubber?

  13. Nasty rubber setup, another great ERT video

    Here, Idesawa is using short pips on FH and long pips on BH. This setup would give me nightmares to play against. Take any 1200 player, give them this setup, and they would instantly become a 1400 player. Any 1600 player would instantly become 1800 and would probably beat me with this. I...
  14. I'm starting to test Sanwei Target Pro Blue

    Mine is tacky, but not insanely tacky. Theres a video on youtube showing this rubber hold the ball upside down. Mine is not like that. But it is tackier than the new H3, and is almost as tacky as Victas Triple Double. Without booster, the bounce feels somewhat dead. I will try it without...
  15. Any reviews for Sword VSea?

    I know some forum members have been using the Sword Vsea. Can anybody give some review of the blade and how it plays? It looks like a 968 clone but swapping the alc for vc. How does that change the properties vs the 968?
  16. Haifu Whale 2?

    Question about this product. My friend was using this and he thought it was a booster. But I'm pretty sure it is a glue. Is it a speed glue with tension giving properties? How long does the speed effect last?
  17. Breaking rubber on the table is worst feeling

    I actually dont do this often, but today i broke my rubber hitting the table trying to loop a short ball. I hate this.
  18. Ladies and Gentleman, Dreams do come true

    For the past 2 years I have lived through the frustration of not knowing the true hardness of my rubbers. I have been confused and infuriated by companies using inconsistent and unreliable measurements. But now I finally got my own shore O durometer and can finally find out the truth. I will...
