i don't know if anyone did ask before, but why are there no people in the ranks?

i am really excited about that switch and totally understand the connection to the south american market. i like the new campaign and love the new logo and aestethics. a good win and addition for team joola and fresh wind in tabletennis! thank you @Matt Hetherington for your insights :)

hugo's personal blades are made with an ayous core instead of kiri like in the commercial ones, so there is a difference besides the weight (hugos blades are around 94g, commercial ones 85g) personally i don't care about that and think it is actually better to have kiri core and a lighter...

because vega pro is a bit easier, bouncier and less spin sensitiv and cheaper, but you could play with either or because that is really minor and especially if you are developing! all those things like sponge thickness really doesn't matter as much as you think, if you still need to get the...

regarding the sponge thickness: that is purely a preference thing but in my opinion if you wanna play with spin, just choose max thickness and don't care about anything else. if it is to fast, get a slower blade. if you play more flat without spin like a blocker or a hitter you can play thinner...

i think you are overcomplicating things a bit, you have a faster blade hence the reason why you struggle. take the donic persson and slap both the vega x on it and you will be fine. you shure can make tiny micro adjustments too and go to nittaku g-1 (actually better would be vega-pro) and get...

i hate this new ai player thing too. looks cheap and disconnected from tabletennis. and do they only have LSS left as a sponsered player? what happend with all the others? seams like they are heading towards a fashion brand rather then equipment.

yes you could use rakza z wich s higher throwing then g-1, but you also overcomplicate the whole thing. as many said before, put you g-1 on it first, compare the feel and what makes the blade different to your old one. then you can analyze and start changing. if you just slap a hard and sticky...

it will definitely be the blade, butterflys innerforce alc has a very low throw compared to a wood blade like the stratus. the rubbers can make the arc a bit higher, newer rubbers have a lower throw then older gens like g-1 or vega pro, but still not as much as the blade. ps: the low throw is...

i had this with all the rubbers from that generation, i used normal revolution no.3 glue back then and no boosting or stretching. i played with nittaku g-1, c-1, vega pro and baracuda. before i switched to vega x, i played with mx-s and was suprised that this rubber layed flat after removing...

pretty normal, all the rubbers from that age are doing that, same with vega pro, baracuda, genius

i think fan needed a less demanding and sensitive rubber to adapt to the harder condition in german clubs like different tables, different floors, less time to practice and warm up. could imagine that he starts to play 09c on both sides just for the german league and switches back when he is...

you can try suke instead of sueke, it is nearly the same glue but easier to get

i worked with different glues on the same rubbers and there is definitely a difference. as somebody mentioned the thinner smelly glues like revolution make the rubber softer and sometimes a bit faster. the thicker glues like nittaku, dhs and the new glues by andro and tibhar (pro glu/ power glu)...

for me the rxton 9 feels actually harder compared to their h3bs counterpart after boosting 1 layer. but also depends what sensitivity you have, some feel more the topsheet some more the sponge and i am more the sponge person. i am with @latej that the topsheet is a bit more elastic then h3 and...

looks like new beginner rubber to me. they share the same white sponge as the other beginner rubber in the vega line (intro & elite) i think that is a great idea, since most beginner rubber are a bit outdated. elite is too soft and intro too slow. i mostly advise for vega euro, but even that is...

looks a lot like the ovtcharov but with ZLC instead of ALC. would be brutal fast! maybe with softer wood for a better touch? btw: no shade to omar but i really don't get why to build another blade for him, while they have so many good players on team butterfly and a lot of really good woman...

@doppelmoral you tested the vega china and recently tested the rxton 9 that i play too. can you compare those two? i thought of switching to vega china after your review on your blog, because i am pretty new to boosting and had some mixed results where it is sometimes quite hard to switch...

some people are more sensitive to equipment changes then others and if you are the lucky one that doesn't care as much as you described, then the question between blue sponge, orange sponge, provincial and national is a bit meaningless. just go with the cheapest option you can find both for...

i made the switch to a chinese rubber from hybrid tensor and it took a while, especially if you play league. as @mamedium said you will have some things that will not work anymore or at least are not as easy, so you need to really look at your game AND the games you mostly play against and...
