I bought Neottec I-carbon or inner carbon 3 weeks ago with DHS Skyline 3 provincial blue FH and bluefire M2 BH. This blade is heavenly. Firstly, the handle. It's thick which is good for big hands and the wood is incredibly porous providing a fantastic grip. The feeling being an inner KLC outer...
My brother plays lind Hexa carbon with DHS Skyline 2 provincial blue(boosted) on FH and Nittaku seiger Pk50 on BH. Big mistake! In his and my experience playing with it, these rubbers being incredibly hard just doesn't work. Medium hardness rubbers will work well with this blade I think.
In my experience I have had massive differences in the boosting of H3 provincial blue regular and provincial blue neo. Neo provincial blue does not react as aggressively to booster as regular Provincial blue. Well it seems obviously due to the fact that it's not factory tuned, but after a while...
Just seen! Nittaku promotion of new 2025 rubbers and blade releases. Most surprising one is Nittaku Hurricane 8-80!!! Insane! As H-80 is already such a great rubber but I guess now will be perfected by Nittaku's quality control of the sponge.
Also, New Genextion rubber and new Nittaku-DHS H301...
Was on the verge of purchasing this Anders lind blade from Tabletennis 11 but it sold out within days. Also, whats the hype with getting this thing in straight handle? just because Anders plays with it?
Bought Nittaku Nordlinger AC blade from Table tennis 11 two days ago. Just arrived today. I'm glad because its a inner blue carbon with outer limba. Outer limba sold it for me. Too many inner ALC-outer Koto's on the market. Handle weighty and has a beautiful rounded flared shape.
Dude, a fresh Big Dipper in 39 degrees is heaven. Boost it and you'll be unstoppable(FYI Just for a month though because boosting Big Dipper only lasts 3-4 weeks. After that, it becomes dead).
Recently acquired Ai Fukahara pro ZLC and Lin Gaoyuan ALC, two butterfly rare gems. So Happy! paired Ai Fukahara with Yasaka rising dragon FH and Vega pro BH
Well at least the sheet I bought 2 years ago was amazing. Unexpectedly great bounce, mild tackiness, beautiful hard sponge(around 41 degrees). Spin and power generation you can achieve is pretty great as well. Very similar to National Target, not H3.
Dude, I'm telling you now that Kokutaku blue sponge rubber is Insane! Ive had it on a cheap 5 ply blade for about 2 years and truly that rubber is a hidden treasure
Interesting, Sponge is same with H8-80, So I assume made in china with Gold arc top sheet which is manufactured by ESN in Germany. A very interesting combination indeed. Can Gold arc 9 be classed a tensor then?
Just on first impressions, seems to be DHS take on Butterfly Rozena with the hardness scale of the sponge, colour and it being advertised mostly as a 'control based' rubber.
Ok, my brother has H3 and I've played with a lot on FH. My FH loop is ok with it so I know my margins for error with H3. Suggesting Yinhe, I also have Big Dipper which for me is an insane for FH if you have good topspin and loop, but moon 12? I'll check it out. Thanks dude.
