  1. Cheaper T05H - T05 Combination Alternative

    From what I remember, Rakza 7 has 46 degrees sponge hardness, while Tenergy 05 has 47-48 degrees (T05 Hard 53 degrees). 1-2 degrees is not much of a difference if you ask me, but I might be wrong. From what I read, Rakza 7 is one of the first rubbers that come in different pools for Tenergy...
  2. Cheaper T05H - T05 Combination Alternative

    I can suggest Yasaka Rakza series :). I've been using Rakza 7 for 2 years now and they are very durable. Great control and little grip for flicks and topspins far from table. Also, cheaper than tenergy
  3. Choosing between Nittaku 40+ premium or Butterfly's 40+

    To get back to OP of this thread, I think most of us can agree that Nittaku 40+ Premium is better than Butterfly 40+ (whether S40 or G40). I'd suggest you buy Nittaku ones. Maybe they are expensive, but you get value for your money and they last long.
  4. Choosing between Nittaku 40+ premium or Butterfly's 40+

    Those were the ones I bought : https://revspin.net/balls/dhs-40-plus-3-star.html I am not buying DHS balls again. Nittaku 3* Premium are the best for me, I recently bought Nittaku J-Top training ball and it is good.
  5. Choosing between Nittaku 40+ premium or Butterfly's 40+

    I have played with both DHS 40+, Nittaku 3* Premium, Andro 3*, etc. and I can say without any doubt, worst ones were DHS 40+ 3* balls. I bought 12 of those and 3 broke during the same training session. 2 more broke 2 weeks later. I never had such bad batch of balls. Bought Nittaku 3* Premium...

    Chinese and courtesy !? :D Good one
  7. Thinking about buying Tenergy 25

    Koki Niwa was using it when he was using Butterfly equipment. But I don't know any current pros using it. Guess 05 is so popular Butterfly could sell only that and no one would notice.
  8. Thinking about buying Tenergy 25

    Thank you everyone for advice. I've decided to buy Rakza 7 to replace the cut one and Tenergy 25 out of curiosity :). I read some more about different Tenergy rubbers and I think it suits my game the most (backhand counter and topspin). Will provide some feedback when I've used it in training.
  9. Thinking about buying Tenergy 25

    Hello everyone. I am currently playing with Stiga Azalea Allround with Yasaka Rakza 7 on both sides, but recently my backhand rubber got cut when I was trying to do a chop close to the table. Since I never played with Tenergy before, I thought about buying one and trying it out. I am thinking...
  10. Looking for good flexible blade

    I'd go with Stiga Azalea Offensive. Great OFF- blade, quite flexible with great feel. It is all-wood blade, but it quite fast.
  11. Flexible blade hard rubbers, even for looper?

    I currently use Azalea Allround with Yasaka Rakza 7 rubber on both sides. Even thought it is ALL/ALL+ blade, I can get good fast topspin from both sides with sufficient technique. Control is superb, never felt that good when blocking. I strongly suggest buying Allround or Offensive, great blade...
  12. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I felt good driving to my club for training yesterday, but didn't think in a million years it'd be so great. I think I am in good form lately. Good feeling during warm-up (all backhand topspins were going in, even my forehand topspin looks at least plausible now :) ). After a bit of exercise and...
  13. China Open 2019

    So.... you basically say that people from "west" don't acknowledge achievements of present/past players outside of China ? What !? I am sorry, but it is false. Here, in Poland, we honor our former players Andrzej Grubba, Leszek Kucharski, Tomasz Krzeszewski, Lucjan Błaszczyk to this day. Many...
  14. China Open 2019

    I can assure you that "west" knows about that generation you talk about. It's not that they don't "show respect", it's that this generation is not winning. Every casual fan of any sport, from football to table tennis, is only going to know guys who are winning. And the people winning now are...
  15. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Recently, I feel like in good form :). I have been training with university group for about a year now. Feeling a lot more confident to attack instead of blocking all the time like I used to do. My backhand topspin has improved but still I can't do any forehand topspin at all :(. Have to rely on...
  16. Table tennis dream equipment

    Being from Poland, I'd gladly spend it all on old Andrzej Grubba ALL+ blade, lie the one I had as my first blade :). Maybe it's not table tennis equipment per se, but I'd pay that money to go back in time and watch Andrzej Grubba play live just once :) ... and probably one navy Butterfly Santo...
  17. What table tennis rubbers & blade do you use?

    It is AWESOME. I actually bought it based on your review to replace my Waldner Diablo Senso and it is GREAT :D. Very high amount of control, good speed for what apparently is only ALL/ALL+ blade. Paired with Rakza 7 on both sides. Looping with backhand side never was so easy to do. Only gripe I...
  18. Best rubbers for 5-ply OFF- Blade

    My bad, I got them wrong. Either way, I'd still recommend Hexer Grip.
  19. Best rubbers for 5-ply OFF- Blade

    Revspin reviews should be taken with a grain of salt, because "durability" or "control" for different people is not always the same. In my opinion, most important factor for choosing rubber is "does it fit my playing style ?". If you want more speed, I'd say choose Hexer Grip, since hardness of...
  20. Best rubbers for 5-ply OFF- Blade

    I currently use Waldner Diablo Senso (also OFF-) blade for controlled offensive play and Andro Hexer Grip, which has 45 degree sponge hardness, works great for me :). I'd suggest that.
