Impossible to say without knowing his level. Did he start as a complete beginner 3 months ago, or could be already play? If he's overshooting the table a lot, he probably need to work on spinning the ball more, which will help it land. A faster rubber may make this worse,

Wow, jumping to conclusions a bit, aren't you? :ROFLMAO::eek:

Looks like a lot more fun than a regular warm up!

Yes, that is so true, although that's not unique to Butterfly equipment, it happens with other brands as well. New players often want 'the best' equipment, which they assume the equipment that professional use (i.e. often sponsored players), while of course 'the best' bat is the one that's most...

I completely agree, but you'd be amazed at how many people gladly pay the high prices of Butterfly if they're convinced it will win them just one extra point a game.... and the placebo effect will probably do that that! :cool:

That may also be because they're German (i.e. local) brands, so likely to be cheaper and more popular?

I've not heard this, how are they doing that?

ROFL!!!:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

You pay a premium for their whole range of products. For some of the their range it might be justified as it's very high quality and consistency, but for a lot of their low-end range it's no better than that of other brands. You're also paying for their R&D on equipment, and their huge number of...

There's certainly a LOT of 'touching the table' in that video, both to wipe the hand and when they're getting in position. I think it's just a habit of some players, I've not really noticed an increase.

It's good to see them releasing these rubbers as I'm a big fan of Victas stuff, although since they're ESN rubbers I don't expect anything dramatically different from other ESN rubbers of the same generation.

I would prefer blue over black, but I'm sure I'd get used to either.

How is the quality control on these rubbers? Is there much variation between sheets? I think I'd probably like this rubber and it suits my forehand, but if there's a lot of variation between sheets, I would not bother.

I'm not a fan of the ITTF, but how do you propose the ITTF stop these manufacturers? Hire some mercenaries and raid their factory?

729 Focus III Snipe is one of the fastest Chinese rubbers I've tried, and the sponge is relatively soft but it's definitely not tacky,

Since you're used to a tacky rubber, that's not surprising as T05FX does not brush loop as well as tacky rubbers. Good to hear you're making it work though, it's a very good rubber and very durable too.

Will certainly depend on the skill level of the player, could just as easily be the fastest way to lose! :) Sounds like a lot of fun though

It does, and good luck trying to cut rubbers for that shape... the angles make it much harder and it's not going to fit on any other blade!

I can't really see how it would work. A view from the side would probably help.

I use that one too and it works well for me too, but I only use for OX pimple sheets, which require a thinner and stronger glue.
