The "softness" feel comes in two folds: The pro's DHS rubbers are of the highest quality, their 42° feels softer than 41° of provincial H3. Pro boosts rubbers like crazy, further soften their H3

What is dry boosting?

Also don’t forget, pro boosts heavily because they can afford to play a brand new $100 H3 every few days. For me I boosts gently so my H3 can last 🤣🤣

I would grab Ma Long and run away instead 😂😂

Agreed. The national W968 is not even on par with what Ma Long is using. Olympic stars like Ma Long can request the highest quality from DHS. Don't forget, Ma Long had changed his blade many times, more than all other grand slam winners. Thinking back, Violin, Boll ALC, Hurricane Long, Long 2...

Well deserved Dan!! Thanks for being an advocate for the sport around the world.

See if you can find: Butterfly GMax Yasaka Hasha V These are the closest. I had GMax before, the “bite” and catapult was good but not as amazing as my Speed 90. Hasha V still in production. Never used it but heard it’s a good one.

I have a 1980s Stiga Anatomic love it. Very comfortable, great for two wing play. And man the 5 ply Stiga blade weighs 96g

I think ZJK ALC is back in stock. But I have the R series and heavy (92g). The newer one tends to be lighter, crispier and less dwell time (adjusted for the new ball for speed). I like my old ZJK

D64 or D05 for FH T64 for BH

My FZD ZLC Yes it’s the most balanced. Vis has too little dwell time for looping away from table. ZJK solves that. FZD BH a bit too soft, ZJK solves that. My FZD ZLC is on its way. I will see if my opinion will change 😆

Apparently it’s very hard with poor feel. It’s probably the least common FZD blade

The 3 blades I mentioned above are ZJK ALC, FZD ALC and Viscaria. FH rubber is always 41 H3 BS boosted. BH either D64 or Vega China. The setups are very similar. My current ZJK and FZD setups are 100% identical. The difference is quite noticeable. I win more BH points with ZJk but more FH...

Subscribed to lots of Bilibili and WeChat table tennis channels 🤣🤣 The level of curiosity and depth among the Chinese tt players is insane

I have played all three. Big NO Same composition but Butterfly uses different glue and gluing techniques. Dwell time: FZD > ZJK > Vis Flat hit: Vis > ZJK > FZD BH: Vis > ZJK > FZD Top spin rally: FZD > ZJK > Vis I can go on but they feel quite different. I still love my ZJK the most because...

I have played Vis, ZJK ALC and FZD ALC. Your next one should be FZD ALC. About 15% slower than ZJK when hitting close to table. But noticeable faster and spinnier than ZJK when looping away from the table. I also own a W968, FZD ALC feels very similar to W968 - soft feeling, long dwell time...

FZD didn't get his own blade until like 10 years into his professional life. On the other hand, ML got his blade before his first WTTC title. I feel Butterfly tends to wait until someone consistently shows his talent for a few years?

I don't know where you get 200 rpm from. Check this out: They used a high-speed camera (slow down by a factor of 120) and the calculated spin from Xu Xin's FH is 176.65 rpS (per second!!) = over 10560 rpm. Bear in mind we are talking about the Xu Xin who had already retired for a few years...

That's interesting. I don't know sorry. Two-sided could be head heavy for Hasha V. If you attack aggressively, you will like it.

I played Darker speed 90 (i still have it) but also 1-ply shakehand as well. I agree with you, with 3 fingers spread out on the backside you feel each shot much better. You can’t feel the same with a shakehand version of hinoki.
