I bought the Platinum S earlier this week.

Congratulations! 🎉 Is that your old legendary table tennis sweatshirt I can spot below?

Because less is more...

Nice website! Good info on the Prices, FAQ and especially on the Nerdy Stuff. 🤓

Tell that to my coach. 😆 He boosts his ESN rubbers with 3 or 4 layers every month. I would be so happy if I had his service, touch and service receive. 🙂

I have only played with D09c and Rakza Z from your list. To me, Rakza Z felt soft and bouncy. Good, but very similar to other ESN products. I would consider Rakza Z as a backhand rubber. The hardness of D09c makes it a lot more similar to Chinese tacky rubber imo.

I hope that it works! Please, share a new picture afterwards so we can see the result.🧐

Add more booster! 2 or 3 layers. Different rubbers will expand differently. My Tenergy 05 expanded about 2-3 mm, but my sheet of Rakza Z expanded over 5 mm. Both rubbers were boosted with two thick layers of Falco.

Yeah, I miss MOG! What happened to him?

1-10 blades.

Of course, both matters. But the original question wasn’t about if both matters or not? It was about what matters most, and how would a premade with real rubbers play? If you were to go to a tournament and forgot your blade at home. A teammate has two spare rackets to lend you. Which would you...

The blades may have gotten worse. But it doesn’t change the reason for why premades are unable to spin. It’s still because of that the rubber totally lacks grip and has the thinnest sponge.

To clarify. What makes a premade “1-star rated” bat lousy and unable to spin, is not the composition of the 5 plies in the premade blade. It’s the super thin sponge and the lack of grip in the rubber that makes it unable to spin.

Rubbers are more important. If you put great rubbers on a hobby bat, you would be able to spin the ball and do all kinds of shots. If you put crappy rubbers without grip and sponge on a Super ZLC blade for 400€, you would not be able to spin the ball and do most shots.

My best guess would be Rakza Z EH. I bought two sheets of the standard Rakza Z and they play very different compared to D09c. I expect similar rubbers like Sieger PK50 would also play that different.

Thank you for sharing. I have that problem with my backhand. I get so tired in my shoulder after only 10 min of backhand topspins. I have discussed it with my coach, he is a great player with great technic, but he is not so good at explaining. He told med to relax and explode. But this video...

A small amount to ESN for producing the rubber, a small amount to the company that ordered the rubber from ESN and advertises it (Stiga, Tibhar, Donic…..), a small amount to the store that sells the rubber and a small amount of VAT. I have no numbers, but let´s assume ESN: 10 €...

I bought the regular Clipper wood just one month ago. Really like the drives and blocks and that it still allows great spin possibilities and great short game. Well balanced blade! My only problem is that the arc is lower or that the trajectory is longer than I’m used to. I will be changing the...

Perhaps he already bought some rubbers...

Thomas! Have you played with G1? I have not, but from what I heard and read it supposed to be rubber suitable for beginners. Not bouncy or much catapult effect, but still with good spin capabilities.
