The blade is flexible so I think would play nicely with Chinese rubbers. If you don't like them you can try hybrids like Jupiter 3 or some European/Japan made hybrids. Tibhar K2/K3. Butterfly D09c, Stiga Dragon Grip

Обычно если верхний слой лимба, то лучше покрыть. Пишите, пожалуйста, по-английски, это всё-таки английский форум. Можно и через переводчик Usually if the top layer is limba you should varnish the blade. Write in English, please

I feel it's harder but grippier

I watched the Russian review of this rubber. He had 475 version. He said it's in Japanese scale because it's even harder than D09c.

I think this is the best match in singles in this tournament. Both played really good

What hardness is V5? I own M12 M+ and V5 37,5(the hardest one). I feel M+ is quite harder, I'd say 3 ESN degrees harder. I think M- could be an option.

Standing close to the table is a good habit. Of course, the table standing on the concrete has a different bounce but it's not that crucial. The main problem is the knees. On the concrete if you will wear specialized TT shoes, your knees won't say thank you. The concrete is hard and the sole is...

If you don't care, it's ok. The surface will look awkward. It's pretty difficult to glue the part of the topsheet properly. I'd better take off the topsheet by heating it and then glued. But it is kinda risky as TB mentioned. I had 2 lucky sheets but it requires some experience

It depends on your technique. I, as the B2(extremely low throw in comparison with any euro/jap rubber) user, don't find much difference between D05 and D09c throw angles. For me both have the same medium high throw

My maybe ~10 y.o DHS G666 was bubbled so I decided to make ox pips. I separated the topsheet and glued it pips out. Felt pretty like LP ox but I got it's not my game so I took it off and put into the dark corner. Today I was so bored so I decided to repeat my experiment gluing topsheet to a...

I've recently glued some rubbers and some organic glue got on the topsheet. Now my rubber is illegal. How to remove the glue?

I like B2 Gold too but for me it's not durable. It lost it's super grippiness like after 60 hours. Maybe because I boosted it, idk. Now using B2 BS w/o booster and I like it quite a lot but still have good warm memories about the Gold one. It had like incredible control and could grip the ball...

Now I have on the BH DF Athlon 2. This rubber requires only brushing. Blocks are awful, when I play more through the ball I don't feel it at all. I like the rubber because it makes me more active in the game close to the table

How good is B3 in humid conditions? I know it has elastic topsheet so that looks less humid-prone than the B2 series having hard topsheet. I really like B2 BS 39 on my FH but it's summer now and it becomes very humid in the hall after 2 hours of practice and B2 becomes less grippy than even a...

I noticed a huge difference between H3 42 star and 40 national BS. 42 has much more elastic topsheet and it is easy to land the ball onto the table. But it lacks quality brushing only with topsheet. 42's sponge is much harder when you try to hit through the ball. 42 requires more opened bat...

A bit off topic. I want a slow but very spinny tacky rubber. I find H3 good but demanding and a bit too "fast". So I guess G666 is an option. A long ago I tried it and it was dead but crazy spinny. So what about now? I've heard the DHS reduced tackiness. If all of their rubbers aren't tacky...

On Ali there are pretty good t-shirts at least. I have 3 "butterflys" and they are of high quality. I have some Yu-Yu-Fan t-shirts they are even better and were even cheaper. You should rely on the reviews. I see the shop sells "Tibhar", "Andro", "Xiom" and "Joola" t-shirts. Of course they are...

Hello dear forum members! Recently I kinda remade my bh and went to the tournament. Here is a video of me playing(I'm in the black shoes). Some aspects I noticed: 1)I almost don't move to the ball and I almost always do BH opening to the FH(I win the point but it's kinda not on my own) . I...

I don't really know how that works. I think you should open your bat angle. D09c has more elastic topsheet than even the DG so for high quality ball it requires the sponge usage. I have Battle 2 Gold and Blue. Both of them have hard topsheet. So I really have to brush. And there is crazy amount...

Hardbat is delightful too and pretty oldschool. 😉
