I have a friend who has a bunch of old but basically unused Haifu rubbers that he doesn't want so he just offered to give them to me. I think they are Whale and Shark or something. Are Haifu rubbers good? should they just be thought of as Haifu's version of Hurricane?

I've never seen this guy before, but he has a very powerful backhand. I wonder what rubber he is using on that side.

Everybody says ESN rubbers are heavily boosted in the factory. Does anybody know what booster they use in the factory? Is it something like Falco? or their own mixture? If their rubbers are boosted, why don't they curl up in the package?

https://youtu.be/UID1l0fWLTQ i just watched this match from team USA. Seems the level is nowhere world championship level. But oh well they tried their best. But i just have a question, couldnt usatt find any better players? The recent joola global had better players. I reckon our own forum...

An old guy that I play with sometimes is a bit of a rubber horder. He must have collected 100 rubbers over the past decade and left most of them unopened. He gave me a unopened Tenergy 64 today, because he's probably never really gonna get around to using it. I'm guessing the rubber has been...

I tried to boost this rubber, but some parts of the rubber are slightly curved inward and some are slightly outward. So it ends up uneven and lumpy. Why would this happen?

Today I tried a friend's Hurricane 3 commercial. To my surprise, it was much faster and bouncier than my own un-boosted H3N commercial. I asked him if he boosted it. He said he didn't boost it, but he glued it onto the blade with Haifu speed glue 1 week ago. Given that 1 week had past, I...

Is there a big difference in the speed/spin of the original R47 vs the newer generation R48? There's only 1 degree of hardness difference, so I wouldn't expect a big difference. But according to Andro's marketing, the R48 uses a more advanced sponge. Is that just marketing is there actually a...

How do you play against a player who doesn't appear to have strong loops, but just blocks every shot back very consistently and very low? When I play him, our BH-BH rallies often can go 20 hits or more and he gives no openings to finish the point. Every shot goes to your BH corner, is very low...

When I do a search for Haifu Seamoon, I see some bottles say 2014 on them. Some say 2022 on them. And some don't have a year written on the bottle. Do these years mean anything? Are they all the same booster?

Is there any general consensus about what is the best non-ESN and non-BTY tensor rubber? Almost every rubber I hear about nowadays is a ESN. The only non-ESN rubber that I even know of is the new Hammond Z2 and Victas 07.

From what I see, retailers like PaddlePalace and Megaspin have higher prices, higher shipping fees, higher taxes, and no 3 for 4 discount. How in the world can these retailers compete with TableTennis11? Why would anybody ever buy from PaddlePalace or Megaspin? Unless I'm missing something...

Aya uploaded this cool video of her playing in the Joola Global Championships. What is this tournament? Most of the players don't look that advanced, but who gets to go to this tournament? Are all the players sponsored by Joola or something?

For topspin oriented players, would MXP 50 and other 50 degree ESN rubbers be too hard to use for backhand? or would it be kinda borderline, but still viable? I know most players probably like the BH side in the 45-47 range.

I did something stupid. I put the glue side of a rubber onto the surface of a tacky rubber. The glue ended up sticking all iver the tacky surface. Is there any way to get the glue off? It wont rub off with my fingers.

I'm wondering if I did something wrong to cause 2 of my rubbers to curl badly inwards towards the sponge. Are there specific actions that might cause this? In my case, I did apply booster to these 2 rubbers, and then I took them off the blade and put both rubbers together in a ziploc bag for a...

I just tried a mate's new Nittaku Hammond Z2 rubber on a HL5 blade. Wow, I am so impressed. This may be one of, if not the most energetic, bouncy, catapulty rubbers that I have ever played with. It feels easy to produce both speed and spin. I would put it up there with MX-P and Dignics 80. Has...

My friend asked me to glue his blade for him. Is this a good blade? Ive never heard of this. But apparently it has 3 layers of carbon.

I find that when I play higher level players with nice strokes, I play better myself. It's easier for me to find a rhythm, and I play more positive and active. When I play a lower level player, I find myself far more tentative. I feel afraid to hit my best shots and just try to stay in the...
