  1. Are these carbon weaves?

    coova Storehttps://a.aliexpress.com/_mskD1Tg I just noticed this store selling a bunch of carbon weaves. What are these usually used for? Are these similar to what is used in TT blades?
  2. Just tried ZJK ZLC, why don't people like ZLC?

    A guy let me try his ZJK-ZLC (not super) with D09c on both sides, and I love it. It was really fast, springy, and crispy. It had a nice high pitched sound. You could really hit very powerful shots from both wings. Why don't more people like these ZLC blades? I think they are really terrific...
  3. Who has tried Loki N80?

    I'm looking for some good reviews on the Loki N80, but I get a lot of mixed messages. Some people say that it is very similar in look and feel as H3N, which is very slow rubber. Some people say it's similar to Big Dipper, which is quite a fast rubber. So I don't know what to believe. Revspin...
  4. Does your FH rubber wear out faster than BH rubber?

    Do you have this annoying issue where your FH rubber wears out faster than your BH rubber? Then you feel the need to change your FH rubber but the BH side still doesn't need a change. Does anybody else feel really annoyed by this and how do you deal with this problem?
  5. Backhand improvement, and advice

    About 1 month ago, I lost a few frustrating matches against a few guys who just do 1 single action in a match, they just slice to my backhand. I was always pinned on the backhand, and couldn't do much and would just throw away points left and right. I decided that my biggest weakness was my...
  6. Baby oil plus booster?

    I have a H3neo that i applied baby oil to, then subsequently 2 layers of booster. I found that the effect was great. Then another new sheet of reactor tornado v5 i didnt apply baby oil, but just 2 layers of booster. This one did not have a strong effect. Do you think just this rubber doesnt...
  7. Fang Bo Carbon Review - Best blade ever, ask me anything!

    I tried my new Fang Bo Carbon/Hurricane Bo 2 today for the first time. I had boosted H3N commercial on FH, and old Tenergy 05 on BH. Blown away by it, because it is the best blade I have ever tried. I own V14 Pro, Sanwei CC, TB ZLC, Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive, Sanwei 75 ALC. Have also played...
  8. Question about stretching rubber on blade

    I've heard some people recommend pulling the rubber to stretch it out as you glue it onto the blade. I do this occasionally when the rubber isn't long enough and I try to cover the length of the blade. Does this stretching make the rubber bouncier/faster?
  9. Do Tenergy and ESN rubbers slow down?

    I have heard that Tenergy and ESN rubbers are treated with chemical or booster in the factory to make them fast and bouncy. Does that booster effect wear off? Does the rubber slow down? How long do they hold their initial speed for?
  10. Tested Sanwei 75 ALC, GTX pro, and 729 Presto Speed

    I bought this paddle for a friend, but I was able to test these equipment today. Sanwei 75 ALC feels like a very good clone of the Viscaria. It has a balance of speed, flex, and feeling. I would say it has a similar feeling to Viscaria. It is fairly fast, but slower than the blades I have been...
  11. Receieved Fang Bo Carbon, but no photo of FB

    I received this from aliexpress, but it doesnt have photo of FB. Is it fake? Does dhs also make a version without the photo?
  12. Can you increase throw angle of a rubber?

    I have a sheet of Nittaku Hammond Pro Alpha I use on backhand. Its a soft and bouncy rubber, but i notice it has a insanely low throw angle. I have to make a huge adjustment on my BH to clear the net. Even then, I still hit the ball into the net on drives, loops, all topspins. Is there a way...
  13. Butterfly Cutlass how much?

    My friend gave me this old Butterfly Cutlass DEF blade. I am not a def player, so i think I should sell it if I can. How much should it be?
  14. Is this good zlc?

    One of the clone sellers on aliexpress sent me this photo of the zlc they use. They said regular zlc is from China, but s-zlc is imported from Japan. Just from what you can tell in the photo, how is it as zlc?
  15. What makes blade fast or flexible?

    I noticed that Harimoto ALC has same construction as HL5. Limba-Limba-ALC-Ayous (BTW, this site is really cool, shows many construction types of BTY and DHS blades https://tabletennisblades.com/butterfly-blades) I think Harimoto is actually thicker as well, yet it is slower. I would have...
  16. Finally tried boosting

    After playing for 8 months with baby oil, i finally tried boosting with real booster. I decided to try it on a H3neo commercial that i previously had some baby oil on some months ago. from the bottle, i wiped off all the excess oil and just put a thin layer of booster. To my surprise, it...
  17. Anybody tried Lemuria blades?

    https://www.aliexpress.com/premium/lemuria.html?d=y&origin=y&spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.26c117509Mx6Bd&catId=18&SearchText=lemuria Lemuria seemingly has all these nice looking clone blades for sale. Anybody tried hitting with them? How good are they? They have clones of popular blades like Vis...
  18. Question about sealing

    How much does sealing a blade alter its playing characteristics. I took out a blade that I recently sealed to play with the past 2 days, and I noticed it is really stiff. Compared to my other blades, there is very little spin, very little arc, and the blade is very direct. I can't remember if...
  19. SZLC vs ALC, is there really a big difference?

    Today, a guy let me try his LYJ S-ZLC blade with Tenergy on it. I was expecting it to be fast and stiff, but actually it wasn't as stiff as I thought it would be. In fact, I thought it played very close to the standard ALC. It had a very similar feeling to another guy's ZJK ALC blade with...
  20. Question about factory boosted rubber

    I was playing today with my Big Dipper on forehand against a guy with Tenergy. We traded paddles for a moment, and he asked me if I boost my rubber, because he feels it clicking. I bought that sheet of BD some 5 years ago, so it got me thinking. I also have a brand new sheet of BD that I use...
