  1. Tenergy 80

    Review by 'Olio' on item 'Tenergy 80'

    Softer than T05, harder than T64, it does everything in between. Blocks better than T05, slightly less sensitive to spin, with throw just a bit lower (hardly noticeable). Feels softer and is a bit bouncier than T05. A good backhand rubber. Excellent for looping and driving.
  2. Tenergy 05

    Review by 'Olio' on item 'Tenergy 05'

    Nothing that has not been said about this rubber. Durability used to be better than other rubbers, but they have imporoved so no more advantage here. Price however is far too high. Rubber can be too hard on a hard blade in my opinion, but since it's very linear it's very controlable.

    Use their glue. No problem with it. Just put a layer of WBG on the blade.

  6. Phone with best camera, also for video?

    I have a Huawei (Honor 3X), and it's a great phone that I would recommend to most people, but while you can take pics and video, I think there are better solutions out there. And you can't put it on a tripod, so if there's just 2 of you, or you can't trust someone to film properly, that won't work.
  7. Alternative

    I would have suggested FX-P too. Specially if you get them free!
  8. Jun Mizutani ZLC Alternative

    MJ ZLC is a 5+2 blade, not a 3+2. (http://stervinou.net/ttbdb/index.php) Limba - ZLC - Limba - Kiri - Limba - ZLC - Limba. Closest non BTY is likely to be Xiom Vega Pro, Limba - SZLC - Ayous - Kiri - Ayous - SZLC - Limba And no wooden blade equivalent that I can think of.
  9. Warning to those who run unsanctioned tournments

    The guy organising that tournement has a big grudge and is hoping to start a crusade. Some of the rules are just plain ridiculous. If you want to go old timer, then yes, play to 21, reverese the glue ban, geometry and colour rules. But this is just funny. Pick and mix the rules you like...
  10. btfy alc: limba or koto?

    I'm with Carl on this one. I think top players (and blockers) prefer Koto as it's harder and more powerful. In the end, they have fantastic touch, and boost like mad, so for most, they'd trade some spin (Limba) for more power (Koto). Specially when you consider they'll always play with new...
  11. Your tip/s for cutting rubbers neatly?

    That might be because if booster gets in between sponge and topsheet, it will dissolve the glue keeping them together, so yes, better off this happening on an edge you're going to cut away... But you'll waste some booster. If it's cheap, no prob. If not, just cut the sheet to be boosted but...
  12. Your tip/s for cutting rubbers neatly?

    I can make a perfect cut with a stanley knife and a reasonably new blade. However, since I try to keep a bit of rubber overhang, I often end up using scissors. The overhang helps with shrinkage when I reglue / stick rubbers on my spade blade, and (at least in my mind) help protect the blade as...
  13. btfy alc: limba or koto?

    We'll probably have to disagree on Limba vs Koto then. Limba isn't quite a pillow, is it? Ma Long does not seem to have problems spinning the ball. Same goes for all the CNT members playing with DHS 506, 998 et 997. Same goes with Korbel, Primorac, Ovcharov, Mizutani... I've played extensively...
  14. btfy alc: limba or koto?

    Sebas-aguirre, first let me say I read many of your equipment test, which were succinct but useful. It seems the website has disappeared? About limba / Koto, I'm suprised you think Maze brings less spin. As Limba increases dwell, on most shots you can actually put more spin. The only exception...
  15. btfy alc: limba or koto?

    Limba, I've played with ZJK and Viscaria, but the MMaze brings such soft touch that I really prefer Limba outer now. I did not find a difference in throw though.

  17. Expert in a Year ( Discussion / Questions / Feedback )

    EJ = equipment junkie. They lurk in the dark corners of the interweb, the table tennis forums. They will argue for hours / pages that this rubber / blade is better than that one, they test rubber after rubber, blade after blade, and wait for the holy grail of equipment, which will optimise their...

    The real questions now, to Sam: 1) Are you going to keep playing, even if less frequently? 2) Have you become a TT lover? 3) And finally, are you going to become another EJ on the forums?
