The topsheet is virtually, if not exactly, the same... I do agree, though, that the feeling is quite different between the two overall. That said, if you really disliked G-1's topsheet, it's probably better to look at more modern ESN rubbers that have a softer/thinner topsheet feeling (think of...

Care to explain what you mean with "basic rubbers" and "fancy rubbers"? Does it depend on price? Date of release? Targeted audience?

Where does this come from? Are you replying to a specific post or account? If not, what are you criteria? Have you looked at sports such as tennis, rugby, handball, judo, cycling, fencing, skiing, thriatlon, etc. (a few off the top of my head)? This seems like a pretty random comment to make...

Wait, Shin Yubin is playing her singles match right now... and when she finishes, she has to immediately switch tables and play the women's doubles semifinal? Great scheduling...

Adam calling you out by nickname was quite funny to hear! 🤣 There really seems to be a great energy in UTT events, that is something they did really well with the format and presentation. It's fantastic for you to be enjoying it from that close to the action!

Great news! I can't wait to see more of FZD, especially in league and champions league context! This could be great for league play and teams in general: more players could think of doing the same, bringing more audience along with them and thus more money... I'd love to see this kind of growth...

If it's aimed at the Japanese market, it could very well be... there, very few people look for Chinese equipment and most only know what is imported by Nittaku. That said, just like for their H3, there will very likely be good QC on these products as I suspect Nittaku demands higher standards...

At the risk of sounding pedantic, I have to repeat myself from a previous post... The sponge is clearly marked as 210 37, which means 2.1mm and 37º. This was very likely fone by DHS themselves, as the marking is identical to the DHS versions. I have very little doubts that these two Nittaku...

Just to add a bit of context to this quote, "barely anyone" includes Ma Long, Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun, Xiang Peng, etc... and this is only on the men's side!

I'm not completely sure that's the case, judging by the thread's title and first post... 😜

It is definitely strange... I concur that it looks like there was something on the bottle cap (maybe booster oil itself), otherwise I could not explain that stain on the topsheet. I must say that the general appearance of the rubber isn't very good though. Have you left it some place where it...

Just to be perfectly clear... Are you putting the booster on the sponge or on the topsheet? 😅

Whoah, Felix clearly behaved like a psycho after the match! I can't believe they let him swing his chainsaw around like that! No way this would be acceptable where I'm from: only honest knife fights to the death are honorable...

Except, that is definitely NOT corkscrew... at least as a main component! I truly wanted to let this discussion be, but I seem to fail at ignoring absolute nonsense!

It might be boosted, or the image may just be "arranged" like that... and the sponges look just like the normal DHS #80 ones. Again, they have this picture on the supposedly 35 degrees version, which clearly shows that the original manufacturer (DHS) marked the sponge as 37 degrees. I truly...

No, those were the two "Hurricane Pro Turbo"... both blue and orange were supposed to have a DHS topsheet and a Nittaku (Daiki?) sponge.

It looks just like the 38 and 37 versions rebranded for the Japanese market... on the site, they even have pictures with the usual DHS sponge markings: 21038 (2.10 mm thickness, 38 degrees hardness) for the Nittaku 8-80, 21037 (2.10 mm and 37 degrees) for the 8-80 Power. In Japan, Chinese...

I'm not sure she used her anti "a lot"... in fact I'm quite sure she used it far, far less that her FH, specifically to win points. I also saw Polcanova being decently at ease against the anti chop blocks and "strawberries", and those worked best when Winter used them as sporadic variations...

Not really... She won just 2-3 points the entire match by using her anti, she probably won more by twiddling to inverted. At this point, Sabine is using her FH so much she could just get a Japanese penhold blade with rubber only on one side!

I still don't understand why we should be trying to reduce a three-dimensional concept to two dimensions only. There are already 3/4 people on the thread, plus an AI, with decent enough explanations of the three-dimensionality of this phenomenon we are talking about, there really is no media...
