  1. Taobao prices

    Prov blue sponge rubbers are around 220-230RMB on TB. If you try to buy some at local clubs you might get it for a bit lower. I did buy some H3N prov for 195RMB in Hefei, it was non Neo, but I think the Neo was 205RMB. 95RMB TG2 sounds a bit cheap to me too, maybe 120-130 is realistic, but...
  2. New Sanwei Rubber - Target National Purple Sponge (三维 目标国套紫海绵)

    It's 98 yuan, and has 39 and 40 degree options. The taobao listing states it doesn't need boosting and should be 60g uncut, so pretty light too.
  3. Xiom Ice Cream blades, AZX Review

    I got myself an Ice Cream AZX pro mainly because I fear this blade will go extinct soon and it is a good blade, and I've been enjoying the larger head size of Stiga Inspira Plus or the Cybershape. My biggest issue with the original Ice Cream AZX was its handle, it was too skinny. Thankfully the...
  4. Just Butterfly Glayzer (on backhand)

    Less bouncy, more grip, more durable. Mantra Pro M more easy to use. Mantra Pro M is more fun to use. Glayzer more capable against higher level players.
  5. Just Butterfly Glayzer (on backhand)

    It's certainly better bang for the buck. I played D09c FH and D64 BH before, I think normal Glayzer for BH is very good bang for the buck but also probably one of the best rubbers one can get in general. The thing is Glayzer has about the same grip as Dignics. If you have the grip it's mostly on...
  6. Just Butterfly Glayzer (on backhand)

    I didn't really wanna let the Genie out of the bottle but I can get the Glayzer for 26-7EUR on taobao. So I will just consider that Nuzn is ~60EUR and Glayzer 45EUR and not go for extremes.
  7. Just Butterfly Glayzer (on backhand)

    I guess the title says a lot why someone should use Glayzer on backhand side over most other rubbers. First of all if you like something else already then use that. You know how to play H3 on BH or D09c on BH... use those. You mastered Tenergy 05 and random ESN 48degree rubber... use those. I...
  8. Quan Shi Bao is amazing

    1 month and around 40-50 hours later I can say the same as before. The topsheet looks just as when I got the rubber, tack is not worse than recent H3, can pick up the ball but doesn't hold it much, but I didn't have any issues with the tack or grip so I would say it's more than sufficient. I...
  9. Butterfly Dignics 64 alternative.

    I really wish BTY did a Glayzer64. I see the issue with D64, it costs the same as D05 and D09c and if most people fork out the 520rmb or 80EUR whatever for a Dignics they will pick D05 or D09c. I bet even D80 suffers just because most pros play D05 or D09c. For 200-220rmb I think more would at...
  10. Warranty on Table Tennis Blades

    Actually this might expose defect in the blade, so in a way it's a fortunate situation if one can get the blade replaced. If you varnish it maybe the top ply is protected but the blade will do funky stuff depending if you hit a not (well) glued patch. Nevertheless I would expect better from...
  11. Butterfly Dignics 64 alternative.

    You know, I'm quite unsure now. I mean Dignics 64 acc to butterfly has higher spin than T05, does it have a higher arc? Maybe (or maybe not)? It has more grip so the more grip does warrant more ball manipulation on the player side. That's why I prefer Dignics and Glayzer over Tenergy. I'm super...
  12. Butterfly Dignics 64 alternative.

    Oh I forgot, Vega Asia which is a T64 clone. I wonder why no one uses Bryce Highspeed? I can't imagine it to be so bad. In fact why aren't more people using D64. I think D64 is pretty solid, I could imagine myself using it on FH side since it would be great for 3rd ball smashkills. Penhold...
  13. Why’s CNT pushing Wang Chuqin so much instead of trying to make a new goat of Fan Zhendong who’s still the best player currently?

    I think the Chinese fear Harimoto the most of all the foreign players. WCQ is really strong against him. Stronger than FZD to be honest. He's really good too so who else should they push? Maybe FZD will return in Olympics??? I hope he will.
  14. Butterfly Dignics 64 alternative.

    Maybe Victas v15 extra. It's a bit like T64 too. Mantra pro m is also a good choice. I haven't tried it for much but gewo nexus 48 xt. XT is the faster less spiny version, EL is more like T05. Im not sure of Mizuno Q3 still exists or not, I think that was the fastest one.
  15. 安踏/ANTA Enters the Table Tennis Rubber Market?

    I don't think Butterfly gives too much crap about their clothing line, so probably they can accept FZD in Anta gear displayed in malls. We also don't know how BTY and Anta are related. Could have the same major shareholders, could have some joint venture coming, could be that BTY subcontracts...
  16. 安踏/ANTA Enters the Table Tennis Rubber Market?

    Many anta store use him to advertise.
  17. 安踏/ANTA Enters the Table Tennis Rubber Market?

    For some reason I like Anta clothes more than Lining or Nike etc... somehow they have better fabrics. And great prices and discounts in China. They have all the money in the world so I hope they will develop and make good rubbers and not just hobby gear.
  18. Post your latest EJ purchase

    I was debating myself to try the Donic ZJ blade or get something else. But I went for a Xiom Ice Cream AZX Pro since I liked the original AZX (apart from the thin handle) and I now prefer bigger head blades and AZX Pro is 160x152 which is quite big. And since now I use light rubbers it shouldn't...
  19. DHS fans unite!

    Normal Hurricane 8 has sponge number 25 I think. Sponge 65 was white cake sponge for some Tin Arcs, maybe Tin Arc 5? I don't think the 37 degree orange sponge is harder than 37 degree 50 sponge... they are just different. One is pored the other is solid. They behave differently and feel...
  20. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Nah, stickyness feels the same to me. Sponge hardness is harder and it's less bouncy than standard LAC, which would make it more suitable for pro player use in my view. But topsheet feels identical to me to normal LAC. If anything the sponge sticks to be ball more by releasing it later or...
