  1. Friendship 729 battle 3

    Well 2.5 months is not too bad for me actually. I kill LAC in a week easily if I start to use my power. I only used a light boost since the sponge didn't stick to the glue.. A little bit of booster fixed this. It's the weirdest thing about this rubber that it's a bit difficult to glue it out of...
  2. REACH Hurricane 3 VOC-Free Glue 500ml Water Glue

    I like Revolution and its Chinese versions just fine. But I think DHS No15 and Sueke No2 are better. Sueke No2 for me is the best so far and it's just a little bit more expensive.
  3. Review Yinhe Moon 12 Blue

    Even the Moon 12 M- is significantly harder than Plasma 430. 430 should be like FX-S and Rakza 7 Soft.
  4. Friendship 729 battle 3

    So my B3 bubbled up after 2 and a half months of beating it to death. I had 2 rather small bubbles that were actually hard to detect but sometimes during brushing or serve the topsheet felt more stretchy than normal and sometimes the ball fell in the net and I didn't get it. It's not so...
  5. Xuperman Powerplay-x: A Rubber by Xu Xin

    I got myself a Powreplay-X Pro at 41 deg hardness a few weeks ago. Since yy B3 bubbled up I have an excuse to take it off and experiment. It was vacuum sealed just like H3N and had the glue layer on the sponge. Initial impression is quite good actually. It kind of reminds me of Dingtian Young...
  6. REACH Hurricane 3 VOC-Free Glue 500ml Water Glue

    I was looking at it too. Someone wrote it smells bad, so I assume it's similar to the other Chinese glues that are similar to Revolution. So not that interesting to me actually. Btw those Lidu or Huieson or whatever off brand glues are still very good just that I know them well already.
  7. Pathetic Stiga quality

    My first sheet of black Mantra Pro XH had similar marks. My gf bring it from China for around 160RMB... that's like 22USD so for that I thought maybe China got some 2nd grade rubbers for cheap. It played exactly the same as my 2nd sheet from TT-Japan which had no marks. But I agree it shouldn't...
  8. YuanJian ZhanLu: Another Blade from Lin Gaoyuan's own Brand

    The quality on these blades is great. Even better than BTY. Jointless wood, handsome design, good handle. It is only rivaled by the South Korean blade maker and possibly Yinhe. But I would take the Yuanjian blades over them.
  9. Tibhar K3 durability and alternatives

    You're just a hater 😤 Igor is a gem (in the rough) Be happy.
  10. Should I keep Telson China?

    Probalby better for you than ML5. The Loki blade looks very well made, on par if not nicer than ML5X. It looks like a blade Xiom or Butterfly would ask 150USD for.
  11. China manufactories don't produce anti rubbers. Why so?

    Actually it was made by Butterfly. Get Aibiss the tacky Antispin.
  12. Friendship 729 battle 3

    I agree with Lawsy, get 39 down in the middle and if you think you need a bit harder later or softer you will know. If unsure just go with mid hardness always for forehand and for backhand go for 45deg-ish or 34-35 in 729 or DHS scales. One other thing about B3, so I sometimes play with my...
  13. Friendship 729 battle 3

    Actually I just dug out my Rakza Z EH and glued it on an outer koto ZLC blade, pretty much like a Zhang Jike ZLC and I have to say it's a fair bit slower than B3 on the Cybershape. I'm pretty sure the Cybershape is slower and the B3 is faster and the B3 topsheet is much stronger.
  14. Friendship 729 battle 3

    Some people like the Loki Rxton 9, Battle 2 national BS. I personally liked the Dingtian Young Shine BS, Double Fish Volant Phoenix and I think the Double Fish Qiji blue sponge boosted is good. So many options, the cheap ones now are the Double Fishes and B3. B3 only in one version at the moment.
  15. why wait to dry the glue?

    Yes, it's the thickest glue I know. It's also heavy because of it. I like the Sueke No 2 better since it dries slower, and a bit lighter and softer. But DHS no15 is still top glue.
  16. why wait to dry the glue?

    It's drying quickly. DHS No 15 dries so fast... You should spread it quickly.
  17. Friendship 729 battle 3

    Maybe :), I liked the Rakza Z EH red I had but I think B3 is more durable and lighter by a lot soooo... These are just really objective properties. Especially on a Cybershape maybe 57-8g ughhhhh. I think I needed like 20 hours to break in the 40deg. Might depend on a lot of factors. For me it...
  18. Tibhar K3 durability and alternatives

    Is this an Igor post? 🤭
  19. My experience with Chinese rubbers

    I wonder what happened that it's so cheap. It's going now for like 18eur, shipped taxed... It used to be like double that... Overstocked after covid?
  20. Friendship 729 battle 3

    Actually tried all all of them. Well Rakza Z Extra Hard only. The RZEH I had a softer red sheet and a very very hard black sheet. I liked the red a lot and hated the black a lot. The black was so hard it felt like playing with PVC. The red one I like since it was pretty slow and spinny. Works...
