Oh no more controversial answers incoming... There's literally no reason (except for the pure forum discussions engagement enjoyment, then you can skip this post) to discuss NEO vs NON NEO. Come on, just buy two sheets and try it out, it's still cheaper than one sheet of Tenergy 05. Try it out...

You can see that it's already boosted, probably same hard Chinese sponge

DHS #15 is among the best glues for everything: glueing, removing the glue, boosting

You're talking professional players here, right? Playing with National rubber quality with proper booster. I am talking about regular people, not athletes. I will try 39 degrees anyway :) And god let's hope we'll never get 50mm ball...

2015 is new ball era already, so I think that should count. I would rather believe what actual pro say about National and players' versions H3s. It's almost the same. I personally was doing loop kills with cheapest boosted H3 and was very much satisfied. People can say whatever (especially...

From the post: 7. provincial players typically play 38 deg the stronger players (level or physical) will often use 39. national team typically use 39/40. if you think that's soft, it's not that too soft when you're vs other 2600+ looping hard at you. for anyone who's had to try returning those...

It's all about the style points :) No benefits in terms of winning more games yet. I still have many mistakes, but sometimes penhold gameplay is just so NOT like shakehand, people are not used to it (in my region). The reason of the switch is not because I can win more games, it's simply more...

Ahh finally another clone of any existing Butterfly blade for more money just because Dang Qiu name, which definitely won't make one play better or worse! /s

hi everyone! Just wanted to share my thoughts and experiences switching from shakehand to Chinese penhold (CP). First of all, I've been playing CP for around 2 months. General feelings: it's different, but not so much, especially on the FH side. Not much wrist flexibility on the BH, so...

wait a second, did he switch to Cybershape? Cool stuff. He used to play with Stiga Dynasty. Very interesting player, enjoy watching his plays

footwork!

Chinese style FH is actually not so difficult to learn. Try learning leg movements and game sense to execute this shot..that's incredibly hard and takes a lot of practice and tournament plays. Appropriate rubber to learn is no doubt Hurricane 3.

I miss variety. Penhold players used to vary the game a lot, Xu Xin with his unique flicks and side swipes, Ma Lin with his TPB, short game and killer FH loops near the table, Wang Hao with dominating BH. I actually lost a little bit of passion to the pro scene since it's all the same. In...

I am very much comfortable with Xiom Vega X on my BH currently, does everything I need. Weight: YEO 87g, overall with TG2 40 deg comm orange sponge + Vega X = 187g.

Very cool. What's the weight of the blade? My came in 87gramms. At first it felt heavy, but then I adjusted. Then I applied Vega X on the BH and it became even heavier (187 total), but I adjusted again and now I feel that with this blade I can do literally anything. I will probably upload some...

Correct. It has softer, porous sponge and can be played without boosting, but it still requires some break-in period. It can be boosted with Seamoon and this is where this rubber shines. Overall, H3 37 is better though. With h8-80 it feels like there's not enough pressure on the opponent, the...

For some reason I read this and automatically think: this really sounds like generic answer from ChatGPT...no offense :) I played with H3 37 boosted on Viscaria and did well in all aspects, but hassle of boosting BH rubber is just too much for me.

My friend is currently in China and says that TG2 is not that easy to find (comparing to BTY rubbers or H3 of all sorts). I wonder if Skyline 2 is discontinued and no longer produced...then I need to stock up :) I am very content with the tackiness level of two TG2 sheets that I had. I hope...

this is why YEO is so much more expensive on AliExpress, than on tt11, for example..huh. @netdriver there's an outstanding review of Goiabao 5 blade here: https://mytabletennis.net/forum/new-yasaka-rose-5-goiabao-5-review_topic70186.html Your fextra is easier to produce spin, because it has...

After boosting & several training sessions these all feel very similar. That's enough to improve and train and compete, since TT is not only about rubbers
