  1. Durability of D80 and D64?

    Hi, I am interested in the durability of dignics 80 and dignics 64. Like many others I have played with d05 and d09c before, and they both last me forever, especially d05 As I understand, d80 and d64 play alot softer than d05? how is the durability affected by that? if they last as long as d05...
  2. Kindly asking for feedback and tips to improve my technique

    Hi community, time to take a break from EJ. I recorded myself doing some loops and hope that the better players out there can help a hobby player like me out. These days I feel really uncomfortable on my FH. My spin is low. I feel like I am hitting late or too close to my body, and I am...
  3. New Butterfly Rubber: Proudo44 P.I. (프라우드44 P.I.)

    I was browsing around on a few Korean websites, and found this. A new rubber from Butterfly, called "Proudo44 P.I.". Apparently, this was created for the large ball. In this case, the "large ball" does not refer to the typical 40mm ball (2.7g), but to a 44mm ball (2.4g). These larger balls are...

  6. Recommend me a Hinoki Blade!

    Hi guys, I want to try out a Hinoki Blade. I never tried one and I read that its feeling is amazing for looping. I am using H3 on FH, Tensor on BH. I looked around and it doesnt seem that many Hinoki blades are available. I am looking for one that has moderate speed, not faster than my Hugo HAL...
  7. Has anyone tried regular Innerforce ALC with H3?

    Hi, I got the chance to play with a Harimoto ALC of my teammate for 2 sessions recently. He is using D09c. I personally have been using Hugo HAL with Hurricane 3 Neo for almost a year now. Not gonna lie, while I love my blade, I noticed how much I miss the soft feeling of Limba with extra...
  8. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    Hi Community, I tested the new XIOM Jekyll and Hyde C55 today. As someone who has been using H3N, and only H3N, for quite some time now, I feel like the new C55 is worth talking about.

  9. Help with shortening movements / being more compact

    Hi Community, intermediate looper here. For a few months I recorded myself when playing and one big thing I noticed is that I have a huge backswing, mainly swinging with my arm. I did alot of drills to reduce the swing and work more with my body, and it works okay during practise and I noticed a...

  12. Any attempt to play in an competitive environment ruins this sport for me (rant)

    As the title suggests, this is more of a rant than asking for advice kind of post. I have been playing table tennis religiously for about two years now. The training and progress, slowly learning techniques and improving is the motivation that drives me, and I usually play at least 4 times a...
  13. Your favourite scissors ?

    Hi, I usually use scissors when cutting the rubber, but mine is not sharp enough anymore. Which one is your favourite that you can recommend? BTW, I dont have problems when I cut ESN rubbers, but when I cut boosted H3N, it sometimes comes off slightly at the edges during cutting which I am a...
  14. Why do most inner-carbon blades have a bigger headsize nowaday?

    Hi, I was wondering why most of the inner-carbon (limba) blades that have been released over the last years have a bigger headsize. That usually is not the case for koto outer-carbon blades. What are the advantages of lets say a 158x152 when being compared to a 157x150 blade? I am asking...
  15. What is this black spot on my rubber?

    Basically the title, I noticed that there is a black spot on my rubber, in the main hitting area. My racket case got very slightly wet yesterday from the rain, and I noticed it today. Could this be something like mold after just 1 day? Or just a marking of a ball? The grip still seems fine...

  18. fixing the bad habit of straightening the upper body during looping

    Hi, had a group coaching session yesterday, and the main issue for me according to the coach was that I tend to „get up“ from my nice low starting position and straighten my upper body during the looping motion, like I was getting up from a chair. my loop is fairly powerful but this costs me...

  20. Small Pieces of wood coming off the handle of my blade

    Hi, I have been playing with a new blade for about a month (Xiom Calderano HAL). I noticed that on one side of the handle, some small pieces of wood are coming off or are close to chipping away soon. It also feels very rough when sliding my fingers over that side of the handle, while the other...
