  1. Looking for a rubber similar to Victas V15 sticky but tackier around the same hardness.

    Gewo Codexx EF Pro 54. Very tacky, at the hardness you want. I haven't played with V>15 Sticky yet, but I had no problem finishing points with Codexx.
  2. ITTF WTTC Finals Doha 2025, 5/17-25

    Not as big of an upset, but the Mukherjees are out as well. Kaufmann is just too strong.
  3. Is D09C the ultimate, the holy grail of rubber?

    New thread in 4 months: Is Zyre-03 the ultimate the holy grail of rubbers?
  4. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

    Wow, you are right! Kenji still using Dignics.
  5. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

    Miwa with Zyre on FH Togami; Zyre on both sides? Yoshimura with Zyre 03 on his FH as well. Did not expect Zyre to supplant Dignics this quickly.
  6. ITTF WTTC Finals Doha 2025, 5/17-25

    Am I crazy or are the rallies a bit slower than usual?
  7. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

    His profile on Joola's website says he was using Dynaryz ZGR on both sides, so I think it would make sense to assume hes using Dignics on both sides here (sponge color is also the same, and clearly not ZGR).
  8. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

    Kenji Matsudaira, immediately after signing with Joola, switches to Dignics. Togami, the newest Zyre user?
  9. Any European rubbers that can replace Hurricane?

    The only real answer. Not many, if any hybrids as tacky as this one. Can get it for $38 on ebay as well. Awesome rubber and I think I'm going to give it another go.
  10. Grippiest Long Pips Rubber

    Okay but not everyone wants reversal. There's a reason choppers use rubbers like Feint Long II/III, P1/4, with thick sponge. Not all long pips are the same, and some have gripper textured tops, while others are very smooth. While they are obviously not as grippy as other styles of rubber, there...
  11. Butterfly to relaunch custom-made blade service.

    Yes but it's available only to customers at Japanese retailers and I believe its a lottery. The reason Butterfly ended the service initially was because stores and individuals in Japan were buying custom blades and then selling them on the open market which Butterfly felt devalued the product.
  12. WTT CONTENDER TAIYUAN 2025

    Hashimoto fully in control and has luck on her side right now. By far her most impressive shot, to me, is her counter off of heavy slow top spin. She is so good at killing that ball which easily has to be one of the more difficult shots in the sport.
  13. WTT CONTENDER TAIYUAN 2025

    https://www-nikkan--gendai-com.translate.goog/articles/view/sports/359893?_x_tr_sl=ja&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc According to Kyodo News, on the 29th, Hyogo Prefectural Police arrested Hiroki Kihara (54) on suspicion of sexually abusing a girl under the age of 16 without her consent.
  14. Impact of US Tariffs policies on equipment price

    The order explicitly names China according to the white house: https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-closes-de-minimis-exemptions-to-combat-chinas-role-in-americas-synthetic-opioid-crisis/ Be that as it may, it's still going to someone who has to...
  15. Impact of US Tariffs policies on equipment price

    It's really a matter of how much the distributers are getting hit now. If Megaspin gets their stuff directly from China, say dozens of sheets a time, or from DHS in North America who could be importing thousands of sheet at a time, it's not going to be pleasant.
  16. Impact of US Tariffs policies on equipment price

    The de minimis threshold to China was eliminated https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/trump-tariffs-trade-war-stock-market-04-02-2025/card/trump-ends-popular-de-minimis-trade-exemption-for-china-used-by-shein-temu-9Ib4ozrVgEK1OudeahtJ So now you will be paying import duties on products of any...
  17. Harimoto seen using new butterfly rubber

    This is correct. He continues to use it on his backhand. You can clearly see the pink sponge here: Miwa, meanwhile, still has it on her forehand:
  18. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

    https://world-tt.com/blog/news/archives/259162 Kenji Matsudaira has signed with Joola. He will use the Vyzaryz Trinity with Dynaryz ZGR on both sides.
  19. How to return the hook serve if I can’t see the contact point

    Ball trajectory. Watch where the ball lands and how it reacts afterward. Backspin will decelerate where as top spin naturally jump forward more. Of course if there is any side spin you should be able to tell as the ball is going to go left or right. In one of those Chinese coaching videos the...
