    Strong words, mate💪🤣
  2. Waldner's Cup

  3. No brand blade?

    You can play tournaments with any blade, with logo of without. There is no list of ITTF approved blades. But there are still some rules, like 80%(don't really remember) of the blade must be done with wood and so on
  4. How does a semi-pro make money playing TT?

    They also play in leagues, not in the top ones but they get salary. Like second/third Bundesliga, Spanish league, French, Russian and so on. They don't earn lots of money. Usually it's about 1,500 € in a month. Some wins add a bit of extra money
  5. Best Chinese Alternatives to D09c Tier List

    B2 Gold is the best rubber I've ever tried. It creates sooo much spin and it is really easy to handle. Not super fast like D09C even with booster but the spin and the feeling... Counter loops work really well because of the low throw but the topspin loops against backspin are amazing too. My...
  6. Stiga rubbers are cheap in China

    No. Glayzer is close to Dignics. DNA Future M is far from DNA Pro M. Pro M is somewhat a decent tensor rubber while Future M is a thing for newcomers. It isn't fast or super grippy. It just controls the ball well. It's like Vega Pro and Vega Intro
  7. [Help] Need to find 729 Rubber For Backhand

    If looking for a rubber that doesn't need booster I'm sure you want something tensorish. I tried 729 Aurora Max. After D09C it would be slow and not that spinny but with more control. Medium hard or hard version should be good. Also 729 has real tensors — Derwind Rayhe and Stolz. They are like...
  8. Cheap alternative to D05?

    Big Dipper 38 or 39 is a good option. It's tacky but pretty bouncy. With booster is even better.38 boosted is mushy, if boosting take 39 version. The hardest 729 Aurora Max with booster I think is good. I had the softest one. Only with booster. Ak47 red is ok. Really fast, on D05 level but not...
  9. Cheap alternative to D05?

    Glayzer is 2 degrees softer but it is the most similar thing to Dignics 05 I tried so far
  10. 729 Blue ALC / Black carbon

    I don't sand blades and, TBH, discovered it from you right now. For what do you sand your blades? To stop splintering or smth else? Do you varnish them? Exactly. Expected much less spin compared to inner carbon Stuor Long 5 or all wood blades. Didn't mention it because thought that B2 Gold just...
  11. 729 Blue ALC / Black carbon

    Gonna cry😭. Have compared with Viscaria today again and I've noticed that the Blue ALC is overall thicker than Viscaria. Top ply and the third ply(Ayous?) are thicker
  12. 729 Blue ALC / Black carbon

    First tournament played with 729 Bloom Arc 47 FH and Reactor Tornado V5 BH. Bloom Arc has a really low throw, lifting backspin was difficult. On Stuor Long 5 with Bloom Arc it was easier. Blue ALC has pretty low throw. In other details it worked pretty well, fast and powerful. Lots of gears...
  13. Share your Racket's Photo

    My treasure🤤. Gonna test it today
  14. What happens if ball is wet in a tournament?

    If you show a wet spot on the rubber, the umpire should say you have to replay the point with a new ball. I don't know the rules, but I remember it being done a couple of times at international level. Well, this option seems the most logical to me.
  15. For those over 30yo, what could you have done differently?

    Long pips close to the table is not a style of playing, it's a way of life!😁
  16. Rubber alternative for FH & BH, cheaper

    The most obvious - Jupiter 3 both FH and BH(different hardness). Can recommend Bloom Power 47 FH and Reactor Tornado V5 BH
  17. Most reliable and long-lasting non-tacky rubbers other than Butterfly.

    Stiga Mantra H is a good option too. It's faster and has more grip compared to G1. It's not a durability monster like Fastarc but lasts longer than the MX-P. I'd prefer G1
  18. Xiom Vega series

    Yes, Asia's topsheet is softer
  19. Moon 12 Blue on sale!

    Ask the seller what hardness is medium hard. Maybe he'll say it's like 39 . Different hardness scales everywhere
