Maybe Dropbox will work. Try this and let me know: https://www.dropbox.com/s/aylpmfomzs0djjj/VICTAS_TABLE_TENNIS_CATALOGUE.pdf?dl=0

That's odd. If I download it as a PDF is there a way I can get it to you via this site?

Works fine for me at this link: https://www.victas.com/webcatalog/en_gb/victas/index.html

The Cybershape is an "inner carbon" blade. Stiga just has a different name for it - "CCF" (Close Core Fibre).

The Korbel is €39.90 from Butterfly's website, so still a bit cheaper than the TSPW, but not a meaningful difference one way or the other.

Well, it's about the same price as the Korbel (the Euro version anyway), so it doesn't meet the criteria of the original request.

"More than" is a difficult thing to be sure of, because different players will produce more/less spin with different rubbers depending on how they contact the ball, and on whether maximum spin (as opposed to speed, placement, or some combination) is their preferred means of winning points...

Where do you get the K2 (both versions) from?

Are you using a Japanese or European Korbel? If Japanese, then you could use the Euro version as a cheaper test blade, or the Xiom Offensive S.

The guys at TT11 seem to like the Neottec Voodoo Classic to pair with Chinese rubbers. There's also the Neottec Gamma Seven which, I guess, is the Neottec equivalent of the Butterfly SK7. Otherwise, some well-known 5-ply allwood options that are cheaper than Butterfly are: Tibhar Stratus...

It sounds like you're after a relatively safe FH rubber that can support you well while you develop your FH technique. If that's the objective then maybe one way to go is as follows: Put Rakza 7 on one side, and DHS Hurricane Neo 3 (Commercial version) on the other. That way you can test both...

A handle that feels comfortable in your grip is important and worth changing blades for. I agree with the previous post that, if you can, you should find some blades to hold to find which is most comfortable for you before buying. Another option is to get in touch with a custom blade maker...

Superb play by Timo! The small variations from one shot to the next messed up LGY's rhythm, and kept the game at Timo's pace. A masterclass in tactical play!

Why not stick with that? It's called the "Original No.1 Senso" now, but it's the same blade and is widely available.

Isn't Pitchford ranked around 20th or so?

I've used G1 on a number of blades (all wood, inner carbon, outer carbon) and I like it on all of them. Personally, I prefer V>15 Extra to G1 as a BH rubber, but that is just a personal preference and I know many folks use G1 happily on the BH. It's not the most sold rubber in Japan for no reason!

Victas V>15 Extra Nittaku Fastarc G1 Both are excellent rubbers with tons of spin, easier to control than T05, and better priced! G1 is a bit more linear and a bit easier to control, V>15 Extra has a little more 'bang' at the top end. G1 is, arguably, the most durable medium-hard (ie. 47.5...

The thing that absolutely blows my mind is that - in light of the physical demands of the 'new' style of the game - Timo Boll and Chuang Chih-Yuan are still mixing it at the very top in their 40s. These guys are superhuman freaks!
