  1. Nittaku Hurricane 8-80

    Japan TT selling for $34 https://tt-japan.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_2&products_id=6554 I also tried the DHS H880. Terrible QC with huge weight variation and rapid oxidation on the topsheet. I am keen to try the Nittaku one on my BH. I played D09C on BH before. How does it...

  3. WTT Champions Doha 2026 Jan 7-11

    Sorry had to do some work after Han Ying-Chen Yi match. What's the men's match were you referring to?
  4. WTT Champions Doha 2026 Jan 7-11

    THE BEST match so far The 42yo chopper Han Ying was down by 2 sets, and came back winning 3-2 against Chen Yi. You could tell Han Ying was losing the speed but still pulled it off. Btw Chen Yi beat the world's #1 SYS

    What rubbers did you use prior to this?
  6. LF: FZD super ZLC FL

  7. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    I think Butterfly can adapt a Harimoto inner ALC or SALC for Hugo. Great feedback and control, long dwell time fro away the table power loop. Hugo will have no problem.
  8. How to boost hurricane 3 provincial 39˚ blue sponge + hurricane 3 soft 37˚

    It depends on the type of booster you use. For example, black booster expand the sponge much more quickly, white booster only expand a little but last longer. Yellow is in between. Always apply a final layer of glue before putting the rubber on the blade. Include the rapper when it is...
  9. How to boost hurricane 3 provincial 39˚ blue sponge + hurricane 3 soft 37˚

    Speaking from experience, be very careful with booster for 37 and 39 hardness. It's easy to overboost and kill the sponge. I overkilled my 40 H3 blue sponge before, it played like dead. The softer the sponge the higher chance of overkill. Strongly recommend 2 layers of glue before applying...
  10. Explain this TT rubber schizophrenia to me

    Booster 'soften' the sponge by expanding the tiny holes in the sponge, hence expand the sponge AND the topsheet. The stretched topsheet gives you better spin and feedback. When well boosted, the holes are filled with booster oil - give you the extra kick --> greater speed and spin. If you...
  11. Fan Zhendong is joining 1. FC Saarbrücken next season

    42 vs 39 hardness Blue vs orange sponge Quite different in speed, spin and bounce to be honest.
  12. How does Xiom J&H C55 compare to Dignics 09c?

    To me C55 is easier to play on FH. Just much easier to create enough speed and spin. I don't see much difference in long push. Durability D09C wins hands down by a large margin. You will see signs of decline as early as 2 months in C55. Skidding is the worse problem in the C series. Even...
  13. What faster blade can you recommend for the future? Thanks in advance

    FZD ALC is nowhere close to Viscaria. See 1857 review - probably one of the most scientific reviewer in China. URL Link on Bilibili. I have personally tested them. Another forum member also confirmed the difference. Here is the bounce test: Here is the summary:

    ML did the same against LJK and worked really well. Can you elaborate on how the ball behaves differently between a small and big room? I am curious
  15. Fan Zhendong is joining 1. FC Saarbrücken next season

    Chinese fans said it's because of the difference in bounce and grid of the table. FZD it's trying some creative ways to make bh more consistent. I played my w968 42 H3 FH and 39H3 BH. I was down 0-2 in a match and 1-6 down in 3rd game. I flipped my bat thinking i will lose anyway. The BH...
  16. Should every beginner be an offensive style player?

    As a hobbist playing an unique style wins you more games. Some of the best players in my blub play like a clown. They push where most would attack. They chop where most would block. At the club level it's a wild west. Find the style you feel most comfortable with unless you're going pro
  17. Penhold Straight vs Curved Fingers

    mine can't handle curved figures, over exhausted after lots of FH. I glue a small piece of LP on my bh side, significantly increase the grip with curved fingers --> less fatigue
  18. Fan Zhendong is joining 1. FC Saarbrücken next season

    Another difference between me, you and them is - FZD can pick up a commercial H3 and still beat half of players in the league tbh.
  19. Chinese special blue sponge degree differences

    H2 is still in production. Super tacky in the old way if anyone wants that level of tack. DHS doesn't want to change the forumula because only few is using it.
