  1. Xuperman rubbers + viscaria

    I tried the Special Edition Powerplay-X and I didn't boost it since it had the glue layer on and I think it was pre-boosted. It felt pretty OK, not amazing but OK. Little bit on the heavy side on a Cybershape. I had the 41 deg and I think if someone gives that a bit more boosting it will become...
  2. The blade off Wang Manyu ??

    Ah yes, I have seen pics being posted of this right around the Olympics. I think it's a nice collection item. It looks very reserved and tasteful. Even just the normal Inspira Plus looks quite nice, but this Olympics version is just that little bit prettier. I don't have a better word to...
  3. Friendship 729 Battle 2 National vs Friendship 729 Battle 3

    The golden is a bit harder and quite a bit faster. I used it for long without boosting and it was fine. If I remember well it comes with 2.15mm sponge not 2.1mm but whatever, not a huge difference. What I clearly remember is that the golden has speed and quite good for impact play, better than...
  4. Friendship 729 Battle 2 National vs Friendship 729 Battle 3

    That's provincial blue then. This is the golden version.
  5. Best Tenergy for viscaria

    T19 backhand, T05 hard forehand.
  6. Friendship 729 Battle 2 National vs Friendship 729 Battle 3

    Maybe just managed to boost it well now? I'm not sure either. It feels a bit soft and quite springy if I hit with impact. Many times I overshot too because of the extra speed. And I really didn't need to worry at all about racket angles much and brushing. In fact I feel I was still playing too...
  7. Friendship 729 Battle 2 National vs Friendship 729 Battle 3

    I have to say deep purple is one of my favorite colors. I like blue and red too and the mix is just the best. 🤡
  8. How many rackets do Chinese pros have?

    I heard people smuggle them out from DHS in their bumm by the carton box. Prott does sell some used rubbers too tho. Probably the beginner smugglers start with cut sheets.
  9. Xuperman rubbers + viscaria

    I also saw Xu Xin uses his own rubber, and not DHS in the national games.
  10. Friendship 729 Battle 2 National vs Friendship 729 Battle 3

    I kind of came across my B2 national that I didn't like much on W968 if I have to be super honest and I am pretty sure I gave voice to that discontent in a few posts. Maybe I didn't boost it well. I got it around the same time as H3N prov blue last year and I didn't like that either at that time...
  11. Upgrade from Xiom Vega Europe?

    I wager D05 would be pretty hectic coming from Vega Europe. With D05 you would feel it's hard, it has no speed, no spin, can't get enough sponge compression to make it work. Can't make the topsheet stretch enough. Of course over time you would adjust if you are patient. One thing you would feel...
  12. The blade off Wang Manyu ??

    In the 2024 Chinese national championship it seems Liu Shiwen also used this blade.
  13. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    I used to try the XH on BH, not for any long period just twiddle around. For blocking the XH is more stable but once you need to grab the ball and give it spin it's much more difficult to use than the M. M is great for the backhand just the right hardness and it works really well with all wood...
  14. Is this the weakest China's men's team has ever been?

    Remember when China lost against Belgium?
  15. Wang Chuqin loses to 14 year old!

    It's good that everyone was understanding with WCQ and no one gave him any shit. :)
  16. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    I have a 94g Tokorozawa Super Fan Zhendong ALC incoming because I have been chewing some people's ears long enough to get this. Let's see how much the "don't pay" 2 win scenario works out for me and how well the plastic in the handle affects my waaay-waaay above god tier 10 dimension palm-finger...
  17. Friendship 729 Battle 2 National vs Friendship 729 Battle 3

    I think from the old national version they had 41deg hard. (maybe the only rubber from 729 that had 41deg hard) Is there any other update on the sponge besides increasing the thickness by 0.05mm? That would be a bit disappointing by itself. But I do feel like on B2 the 40deg matches with H3N...
  18. I need help on chosing my new rubbers

    Battle 3 might be a good option for you on FH. On BH Moon 12 M- hardness is sweet.
  19. ZQH 90 alternative with a bigger FL handle?

    They are never identical. When you hold the handle it's not the same among the same type of blades. And you know the thickness is a number but how the handle curves etc etc, it's different between blades. It's baffling a bit since I would think CNC machines mill these so they should be pretty...
  20. ZQH 90 alternative with a bigger FL handle?

    I think the ZQ90 has one of the fattest FL handles among blades. Maybe Primorac Carbon or Stiga Legend FL handles are are thicker. Chinese brands FL handles are not bad either, Yinhe, Sanwei etc. Even the fatter Butterfly handles are thinner than ZQ90, like ZJ ALC, or LGY ALC, Vis...
