  1. Broken WCQ blade

    I've seen this too many times that people just put their racket on the bag, on bench etc and someone trips and racket is broken. So Wang Chuqin's kind of at fault too though after winning an Olympic gold maybe even the most disciplined mind would not care about his racket braking. But as you can...
  2. Joola Zhou Qihao 90 vs Butterfly Viscaria Super ALC?

    ZQ90 holds the ball more, has a fatter handle and is typically lighter than Super Viscaria. Super Viscaria feels harder and stiffer. The quality of both blades is super high. I assume Super Viscaria will have a higher re-sale value but the ZQ90 can be bought for cheaper. I like the ZQ90...
  3. Friendship 729 battle 3

    Hhhh, fair enough. Maybe next time I can use AI to add more anime girl vibe to it. Yeah, he blocks for me a lot so he's very conditioned for it. I need to use full power to hit past him otherwise I'm screwed. Still need to get used to outer carbon a bit especially on BH side.
  4. Friendship 729 battle 3

    So I glued my circa 1 year old sheet ot the Stiga Inspira Plus after applying a layer of regular Seamoon on it. The rubber has some oxidation and glue marks on it but it's still very grippy and elastic so I don't give 2 craps. For summer break it's fine. I glued it on the Stiga Wang Manyu blade...
  5. Thin Chinese inverted rubbers for chopping?

    Several defenders use the good old 729 Super FX for chopping since it's (dirt) cheap and it's available in many sponge thickness ranging from 1.0mm to 2.2mm which is not the case with other Chinese tacky rubbers in general. And as with many Chinese rubbers the rule of thumb is 1 sheet of rubber...
  6. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    There you go, no need for special god tied Hurrinane 3. Just a good hairdresser.
  7. I think I unlocked the ultimate cheat code for Butterfly rubbers with Spring Sponge X

    I've been exploring different timings like use 1 bar overnight, take out in the morning and in the afternoon it will be pretty great. Honestly Spring Sponge X keeps air very well and I noticed even after a few days the boost is still very very good. I'm thinking maybe I will put the racket in...
  8. Secret Agents of China in Paris Olympics 2024

    I think you shouldn't mix politics and national agendas with sports.
  9. I think I unlocked the ultimate cheat code for Butterfly rubbers with Spring Sponge X

    One more thing, when I get the air boosted rubbers out of the box and I press the rubber with my finger hard the rubber will have a dimple. You can make dimples in the rubber. My theory: the overpressure makes the sponge thicker, but once you press it it will loose air and become thinner hence...
  10. Friendship 729 battle 3

    B3 is pretty good too, B3 is probably more consistent but G09c air boosted feels just so right. It's a feeling thing too. When I hit an amazing shot with G09c it feels like I was just hugged by Pamela Anderson in her prime. If I hit an amazing shot with B3 it feels like dull and nothing but the...
  11. Post your latest EJ purchase

    My latest one. I wanted something more bouncy than the normal Cyberhape so I asked Sergio for a Donic Person WC89 copy. Well with some constraints this is what I got. Cybershape, Donic Person WC89 construction but with Hinoki top ply instead of Spruce, the rest of the composition is about the...
  12. I think I unlocked the ultimate cheat code for Butterfly rubbers with Spring Sponge X

    One thing I noticed is that Spring Sponge X really keeps the air pressure well compared to V15E. V15E is also not bad in fact you put V15E under 14PSI for the night and after 8 hours later it feels just right. If you remove it from the air box and play with it immediately it will be too soft...
  13. Friendship 729 battle 3

    So today I was experimenting with my rackets. I had my good old Cybershape with G09c and Glayzer air boosted. What is air boosted? I put my racket in a "pressure chamber" to make the spring sponge x pockets expand and filled with more gas. Does it work? It works too well in fact. But if someone...
  14. Hurricane III outlaw rubbers.

    You dare to doubt igor? Blasphemy! You need some firewood and fire to "tickle" your feet until you be happy 🔥
  15. TT11 Now sells Yinhe!

    I think normal BD is really nice once broken in. It takes effort and time but in the end it almost feels like a bouncy sponge with a very very good tacky topsheet. Even normal BD is very durable, I don't see anyone developing bubbles after even a year and honestly a year old BD feels very...
  16. Friendship 2-in-1 new sponge?

    The pretty lady on the insert is good, should be outside to sell more (lizard brain is working) Sounds like it's not too bad maybe a bit like H8 since there is more stick and higher release angle. Interestingly, the speed was lacking but it's OK from far away from the table. I guess it's stable...
  17. Hurricane III outlaw rubbers.

    There are some inks that light up in X-ray, no? So would be possible without removing the sheet. But I would be disgusted if DHS needs to register Hurricane 3 like 10 times and pay the ITTF charge 10 times. While DHS would have no trouble coughing up the dough but still it is going to ITTF. I...
  18. I think I unlocked the ultimate cheat code for Butterfly rubbers with Spring Sponge X

    Yes, after the boosting. Reverse domed? This is reverse doming, curling towards the sponge side.
  19. Will Butterfly eventually drop the price of the 'Tenergy' series?

    Could be some NZD correction but if not then quit being a cheapskate and buy el cheapo Tenergies.
