Very good camera angles. No useless side angles where you need to follow the ball side to side. However they do have various off axis diagonal angles that show arc of the ball and placement clearly. I like how they vary the view angle of service and rallies throughout the point. The...

I wouldn't say it's "bad". It's just not as good as non-hybrids. Out of the other rubbers I've used the K3 actually lasts the longest.

Hey, so I took your recommendation and tried the PK50. I had low expectations but I loved it! It's got great spin and decent speed. It's slightly slower than K3 but more grip. My serves are more spinny and loops are very controlled and accurate. Away from the table it's got plenty of speed...

You don't notice any change in performance of the boosting? I remember I had to reboost every 2-3 months max.

I've done the boosting route. Didn't like it because too much headache from having to remove/reglue rubber, buying booster and gluing down the warpage.

I thought Hurricane rubbers were not hybrids??? Also I clean my rubbers every day that I play. Sometimes in between matches if there's new ball powder on it.

I've read that PK50 is pretty slow. The same reason why I don't play Hurricane any more. I try to stay away from Dignics simply because of the cost. I could buy two other rubbers for one Dignics. So does it last twice as long? Sounds like Dignics is similar to Xiom Omega Guang. They are...

But when I used to play non-hybrid rubbers they used to last longer than that. I think the tackiness in hybrids are the weak link and wears out first.

The tackiness goes and loses grip. The bounce doesn't change much but I miss many shots when I feel the ball slip.

No, how does it compare to the others in speed?

So I've played with Hybrids for over a year and tried many different ones. I've used Dragon Grip, Rakza Z, K3, Victas V>22, Blue Grip, Blue Star, Xiom Guang and Ying. I play an average of 9-10 hours a week training as well as games. It seems to me that hybrids don't last as long as...

You're going to need topless Chippendales too. Have you seen the crowds at the tournaments? It's like 60% teenage girls...

I think DG is one of the fastest hybrid rubbers. I liked it a lot last year but from supply shortages and the short life span I switched to K3.

So I'm going to bring this up now since we're talking about edges. Why don't the ITTF just make the table bigger? If you make the table bigger by 20mm any edge ball is obviously out. Instead of possibly in/out and very difficult to determine definitively. If the table was larger by half the...

At the time ML was under pressure because Eugene was holding is own and poised to take game one. Maybe he wasn't sure it was side or top edge and just deferred to the umpire (who IMO made the incorrect call). Also crossed my mine was the bias toward the GOAT. There may have been some...

I've played both side by side. The carbon is slightly faster and crisper but a lower level player wouldn't be able to tell any difference.

Yes, I think the better grip from K3 is because of the tackiness. The Bluestar is barely tacky at all. I think there's a tradeoff between grip/tackiness and speed/less tacky.

Did a side by side comparison with K3 tonight. The Bluestar is slightly faster but not as grippy as the K3. My loops with K3 has a lot more spin and harder to block. Opponents were able to easily block and counter my loops with the Bluestar. I had to work a lot harder to lift backspin with...

This rule sadly needs much more refining. By definition most of the players I play against and watch have illegal serves including pros. There is almost always at some point where the ball is hidden from view. When I play I serve clearly in view but I'm so tired of people who have borderline...

Where can he find just the sponge? I've never seen just sponges for sale without a top sheet.
