If you loved playing with the Viscaria, save up and buy a Viscaria. If you get something else, chances are you will be disappointed it will not be the same thing especially in cheaper blades. Better yet, offer money for the Viscaria you loved as there is still a risk you will get a Viscaria that...

Try harder rubbers if you haven't done so already especially for the forehand. You can go for an inexpensive Chinese hybrid like Loki Arthur China or something faster like the XIOM C55. Try using the T05 on your backhand and see how it works out. You can also go with a harder more controllable...

The Paramid I got to try has a bit more vibration than most ALC blades I've tried. I haven't tried any other blades exactly like it but I'm sure they are out there. The main thing is the head size, the carbon speed and adequate flexibility I think, not the exact composition.

There is no best table table tennis rubber money can buy. That question doesn't really make sense. You could ask the same question about cars and you would get many different answers. Some might say the F1 racing car that winning the championship right now, others may say the most luxurious...

I've owned like 40 blades and tried a bunch more from club members and a bunch of different rubbers. I did find the one I feel like I can play like a pro with(Stiga Inspira Hybrid Carbon) and discovered perhaps I like large head(158-159mm) fast carbon blades with standard thickness/flexibility...

This is the reason why I keep some of the boxes I get from online purchases like amazon and others. I reuse them to ship stuff out after I remove all the old labels.

I think you misspelled ZJK with FZD. So far there has not been any talent matching those of Ma Long and Zhang Jike or even Xu Xin. The issue is also compounded by the switch to the plastic ball where spin is less of a weapon over brute force and players with less sensitivity and creativity can...

If you buy it from reliable stores within aliexpress, sure. I get my Loki rubbers from the HWSPORT store.

Depending on how long ago you stopped playing, the game has changed with the introduction of the 40+ plastic ball. A rubber similar to what you were using before will probably not be suitable anymore and you may want to explore the current style of rubbers. If you want control go with harder...

Most ALC blades will damp vibration to some degree due to the nature and purpose of having an arylate layer. If you want some vibration but not too excessive, try the Sanwei Paramid. If you want all the vibration you can get, I have old school Butterfly Jonyer H I might be persuaded to part...

One layer on each surface. If you are using a good glue that's all you need. I don't want to waste time waiting for multiple layers of glue to dry and I'd rather choose a different rubber than to try to tune with multiple layers of glue since there are so many choices in rubbers anyways.

While I don't speak for Keith I can confidently say you will never reach 2500 with your setup. Tenergy 05 is so 2010s and is too soft for forehand nowadays and how can you even loop with a blade 9mm thick? :)

My current racket, the Stiga Inspira Hybrid Carbon with the large head size together with C55 and the Mantra Pro H weighs 191 grams so the rubber is not that heavy I think. I don't have the spec for my main racket but the backup, my previous main is 88gm and 158.5mm head size and I asked tt11...

Do it like the pros - if the ball is too low, control push it back the way it came in and see what comes back. Repeat until the ball is high enough for a flick backhand or forehand. If you decide not to play the push push game, push it long step back get ready to loop or counter or block. I you...

Try the Sanwei Hynover or the Paramid, if you don't mind a bit of vibration. If you have large hands you may want the straight handle version of Hynover. I liked both the blades. They are both fast and most importantly controllable for me. Apparently the Paramid is the official upgrade for the...

XIOM C55 FH and Stiga Mantra Pro H BH. The C55 is a boosted Hurricane alternative without the need for boosting and The Stiga Mantra Pro H is a inexpensive quality Japanese rubber that feels stable, transparent and performs well.

Why go for soft? Have you tried a harder rubber like the Stiga Mantra Pro H? Paired with the right blade, it is the best setup I have tried and I've even stopped looking for anything better. It's giving me professional results and all I need to do to get the ball I want is to adjust my technique...

ITTF is essentially a table tennis equipment mafia. It has been corrupt since the days of Adham Sharara.

If you don't smell ammonia in your latex glue, it could be stabilized by some other chemical for example Donic Formula First. If you don't smell ammonia in an ammonia stabilized glue, it's a warning sign the glue may curdle and fail when you apply it.
