Haven’t had a chance to hit with them yet, differences are negligible for that bounce test, but yes ZGX slightly bouncier. Hopefully I’ll have the garage clear off stuff after moving in over Xmas this weekend, then I can get my table set up and have a go v the robot and some serve practice. 1st...

ZGX IS THE RED SHEET, K3 THE BLACK SHEET

It has the same tackiness as D09C, the old tackiness D (haven’t used this for 30+ yrs) had more tack than G09C, D09C, SpinArt and probably Aibiss !! If Tackiness D / C still has the same tackiness properties that it use to have, then it’s the tackiest BTY rubber. They should put the tackiness...

You’re not the only one!! 2 sheets of K3 on weekly special, and to bring the total above the limit for free delivery 1 sheet of ZGX!!

2 sheets of K3 and 1 of ZGX arrived yesterday and were promptly glued to a Viscaria (K3 and ZGX), 1 old sheet of J&H H 52.5 and K3 have been glued to a Primorac all wood (Japan) [all done whilst watching the PDC World darts championship final !!] Looks like I'll have to wait until Tuesday to...

I agree about that BTY feeling, it's not for me though!!!

MXP has a pretty quick drop off in performance, but agreed that some ESN rubbers are better value for money. note that I did say - 'compared to BTY line-up'. A lot of people say that 1 sheet of BTY lasts longer than 1 sheet of ESN rubber, and that justifies the high cost of BTY rubbers. I only...

removing the glue can be a boring job!! There's a recent thread I saw with good info about removing the glue. the type of glue you use can make things much easier, Check out Revolution no1 glue. there are others that are similar, they peel off real easy when you change or remove rubbers to...

At that price point you're not getting any 'Top End' ESN rubbers!! 'Better' depends on the individual!!

I feel that Glazer has it's place in the BTY line up, it's not even marketed as a 'top end' rubber, if you take 'PAR' as being Dignics 05 / 09C then of course it's going to be considered 'SUB PAR' It has the same level of tackiness as G09C and many other hybrid rubbers out there. For the price...

Note that the version shown on the link, is for the V version of J&H, there are 6 or so versions of J&H, the J&H H52.5 version is the only one with a 'slightly tacky' top sheet, Hence the 'H' for Hybrid!!! So, please remember that this is MY PERSONAL impressions, everyone is different and has...

Hi, There are some pretty good quality cheaper inner or outer carbon blades out there, this could also be an option for an upgrade, manufacturers to consider are Yinhe, Loki, DHS and Friendship.

Tibhar K3 and Xiom J&H H52.5 could be other options, along with Bluegrip C1 and Xiom Omega VII China Guang. I have used J&H H52.5 and Rakza Z / Z EH, the J&H H52.5 is a very nice rubber, I like this as much, if not, more than Rakza Z EH (i would be happy to use both!!) the only issue with the...

Well, I was going to say ’stay injury free’ BUT for the last 3-4 days I have been moving house, we have moved in with my elderly father. Which is a bit of a double whammy, cos I had to prep his house as well as packing and moving in. Moving house is one of my pets hates!!! Yesterday, sometime...

There are different sponge hardness scales used by different manufacturers!!! nothing is simple when it comes to table tennis!!

Hi Maribor, Do you have any footage of you playing? Really helps when giving advice on equipment and technique. It also gives us an idea of your playing level / standard. Serve returns - just BH? Or BH & FH ? No self confidence in using my BH, BH topspin? BH loop? can’t keep ball on the table...

I’m no real chopper, or high level player, but I tested T05/T18 a while ago, for fun I played a few chops, which, when compared to other rubbers, the T05/T18 chops were easier, I could play float, light, high spin chops much more consistently than with the alternatives on hand at the time. For...

The real shift is not about manufacturers, it's about tackiness (in the case of BTY 'barely tacky' though!!) if you look at it from this perspective, then 7 out of 10 of the top 10 men are using a tacky rubber on BH.

Do they play the same? The next question is which is cheaper if they are the 'same' .

Topsheet minus pimples thickness, to clarify.
