  1. Hybrid rubbers how close to Tacky Chinese or Grippy ESN spring sponge?

    What didn't you like about S2? Maybe the sponge wasn't springy enough to repel the ball off the sticky topsheet?
  2. What booster does ESN use on their rubbers?

    I was curious if I could re-create the ESN boosted effect by boosting a Chinese-made elastic-type rubber. So I just put 2 layers of booster on a sheet of $16 Loki T3 (untacky, fast rubber). I tested this T3 rubber against MXP, R47, and Tenergy 64 today. In terms of speed and bounciness, I...
  3. What booster does ESN use on their rubbers?

    For example the TT11 description: "The Hybrid K3 version is rubber for the professional top players. It is a combination of a slightly sticky topsheet and a highly boosted hard sponge."
  4. What booster does ESN use on their rubbers?

    Everybody says ESN rubbers are heavily boosted in the factory. Does anybody know what booster they use in the factory? Is it something like Falco? or their own mixture? If their rubbers are boosted, why don't they curl up in the package?
  5. Limba/Ayous Carbon blades

    I really love my Lemuria and Stuor inner carbon blades. I honestly find them my best performing blades, better than Butterfly or Yinhe or DHS
  6. Team usa match

    https://youtu.be/UID1l0fWLTQ i just watched this match from team USA. Seems the level is nowhere world championship level. But oh well they tried their best. But i just have a question, couldnt usatt find any better players? The recent joola global had better players. I reckon our own forum...
  7. Rasanter R47 vs R48?

    Ah ok. Optimized Energy Sponge sounded a lot like Andro's Energy Cell. Also they mention dampening, which sounds like the soft effect you mentioned.
  8. Rasanter R47 vs R48?

    https://www.donic.com/donic/en/rubbers/4274/donic-bluestar-a1-available-october-2022?c=33 I just was browsing, and this new rubber Donic Bluestar sounds like Energy Cell. With a 52.5 degree sponge, is this literally just a Donic branded C53?
  9. Can someone translate this?

    I also enjoy watching some Japanese TT analysis. They have a chart they show before a match that rates the 2 players' strengths such as attack, defense, experience, serve, etc. Sometimes the Japanese analysts even invoke the Chinese commentary. I remember one time in a doubles match with...
  10. Can someone translate this?

    It says average height of the serve ball above the net
  11. 5-10 year old unopened Tenergy?

    Well the package is completely unopened, but its not sealed by Butterfly. There are tiny holes in the package plastic.
  12. High rank players not participating in WTC

    In the other thread, it was said that LYJ cannot play because his coach caught covid.
  13. Best non-ESN, non-BTY tensor rubber?

    The guy who let me test his Stiga Calibra rubber ended up trading it to me. After doing a little research, apparently this rubber was even before Mantra. Is the Mantra series meant to replace the Calibra series? I felt Calibra was one of the most dynamic and fun to play rubbers I have ever...
  14. 5-10 year old unopened Tenergy?

    An old guy that I play with sometimes is a bit of a rubber horder. He must have collected 100 rubbers over the past decade and left most of them unopened. He gave me a unopened Tenergy 64 today, because he's probably never really gonna get around to using it. I'm guessing the rubber has been...
  15. Hammond Z2

    https://revspin.net/rubber/nittaku-hammond-z2.html In just the past week or so, the Revspin reviews seemed to have poured in, with most people very impressed by the rubber. And it still sits high on TT11's best selling rubbers. Any other forum users who have experienced this rubber?
  16. FZD ALC review

    is the FZD ALC a little thicker than Viscaria? I read that it is thicker, but if that is true, I would expect FZD to be faster than Viscaria.
  17. Rasanter R47 vs R48?

    Which rubbers might have it? I guess the rubber that sounds most similar to Rasanter is the Bluestorm series. Does that have energy cell? or is it more similar to the original R47 version? Or do Nexxus or Dynaryz have Energy cell?
  18. Best non-ESN, non-BTY tensor rubber?

    Table tennis rubber making process probably isn't high on Sumitomo's priorities. As I said, they don't seem to have a lot of customers. Selling to DHS or LiNing would instantly create a much larger pool of customers.
  19. Backhand rubber for beginner, nittaku acoustic.

    Moon speed comes in hardness choice of soft, medium, hard. Medium is definitely harder than rakza 7 soft.
  20. Best non-ESN, non-BTY tensor rubber?

    Lining could easily acquire Daiki or Sumitomo rubber IP and then they could start making their own rubbers. Lining acquired Kason for their badminton racquets and then broke into the badminton market from a standing start. Or why doesn't Lining startup a factory in China with Daiki technology...
