  1. Goiabao 5 rubber recommendations

    It's a fast, hard, fairly bouncy blade. It was too much for me with Tenergy or Tensors, but really great with hard, tacky rubber. So H3N forehand, H3-50 backhand. But it depends on how much speed you can handle and how you play.

    I bet gauzy would have quite liked to have been in the 3rd place match under normal circumstances. Hard to predict who he would end up with. Ma Long will probably be looking to take it out on someone.

    Hahaha. Never in doubt.

    Hahhahaha - shhhhhhhhhhh. Don't ruin it!

    The CNT looks like a basket case at the moment and ML looked wobbly under pressure, but Timo played some of the best stuff I've ever seen him play to apply that pressure so I'm not going to second guess it. Some of his backhands were so good it's hard to put into words.

    Arrhfhffhfhfhfhhghh my head's fallen off.

    They should test Timo's bandana for banned substances. He's evolved since he started to wear it. What a tournament eh? Can't remember the last time I enjoyed a world cup so much.

    You never know fella. Just this once, maybe there's a tiny outside chance that you might be incorrect. Perhaps. I know it's a radical concept, but the world is a crazy place and bonkers things happen on occasion. I'm just happy that yesterday was so entertaining on many levels. Refreshing.

    What a day yesterday was! The 2nd and 3rd quarter finals were just incredible. Gauzy came up with the answers yesterday - you'd have to say that Dima would overpower him usually but it's all up in the air.

  11. Which poly ball should you choose?

    Ball update, 12th September. Butterfly - A40+ - White - Seamed - Made in China Probably a switch of their very early seamed ball (pre-G40+) to one of the more recent ABS versions.
  12. Vladimir Samsonov changed forehand rubber. Does anyone know what it is?

    ESN do this with a few rubbers, Musa III China springs to mind. Made in Germany, Asia market only. I've had 4 sheets from ttnpp in total and ordering has been super-smooth.
  13. Vladimir Samsonov changed forehand rubber. Does anyone know what it is?

    Yup, K1 and K1 plus are ESN. The sponge is very reminiscent of Baracuda, or Adidas P7, but harder. The topsheet has the semi-tack you see on other ESN tacky rubbers like Xiom Tau. It's a great rubber, if you accept the hybrid nature of it. I would imagine that when boosted it can do an...
  14. Vladimir Samsonov changed forehand rubber. Does anyone know what it is?

    I don't think it's boosted out of the packet, but of course you can boost it yourself. Maybe vladi is being a bit naughty, maybe Tibhar are doing it for him.
  15. Vladimir Samsonov changed forehand rubber. Does anyone know what it is?

    I'm going to blow your minds. It's Hybrid K1. Or K1+. I know, I know. But still! It's tibhar, Vladi keeps messing with his rubber and cleaning it off (like it's tacky). It has the right sponge colour. And - crucially - you get a reasonable look at it when Vladi is messing round before...

  17. Finally, orange poly balls has been launched!!!

    As much as these balls aren't 3* D40+, they are in fact Kingnik ABS. So it is at least a step in the right direction. Ignore the pic of the older Vision ball in the link and scroll down.

    The KKT blades are kicking around in the asian market mainly at the moment. Bets bet is to ask at https://www.rocket-tt.com/contact - they'll be able to point you in the right direction. Good luck with those eyes mate!

    Hey fella - long time no see! Not selling it, but you're welcome to give it a try if you like? I can send it to you. I've got my hands on some of the Zenon ZYC as well, but not tried them yet. They look like a nice option for people wanting a JM-ZLC or something like that.

    Outrageous monster backhands from Can. And the touch on his push returns...ridiculous.
