Well, Hurricane rubber is really popular in China, but not so much elsewhere, so their marketing is more directed to the Chinese market. You can find loads of information, and all kinds of comparisons between different version of H3, if you search in Chinese.

Depends on what you mean by fast, if you meant ball travel speed, then BS is faster than OS when hitting hard, but slower when hitting soft. If you mean contact time, than OS is faster since dwell time is lower.

OS has a crispier feeling, slightly lower dwell time. BS has a dampened feel, but has more dwell time. Also, I'm pretty sure that 37 and 38 degree only has OS version, and they're marketed towards backhand use, there's a reason for that.

Where are you buying your rubbers? The difference I've seen between provincial OS and BS in most stores is around $9. Also, OS and BS are designed to fit different people, I think a $9 difference is worth it, but that's just me.

Give TSP/Victas Swat series a try, you'll be surprised how good they feel. There's a reason why it's the best selling blade in Japan for many many years.

IMO, you're thinking too much when playing, so what if you miss an attack shot? You'll not get better if you're afraid to even try to strike it. Just have fun, your body already have the training, let your mind loose and let your body and instinct take over. Goku got stronger this way and so can...

I bought one for myself and one for my girlfriend on taobao.com, here's the link to the product (it'll probably ask you to register) https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=606717725155 I then used https://superbuy.com to ship it to the states. You could just use this website to buy it directly...

I've posted this in a different thread, but it looks like the perfect thing to help you fix your backswing problem, which is basically saying your upper arm moves too far back. This training aid limits the movement of your upper arm, and helps you form new muscle memory.

Nope, he just said it was coming in June in a group chat I was in, we were discussing Viscaria S-ALC at the time and wondered what Fan Zhendong is using right now. But I would take it with a gigantic grain of salt.

I see a few different places selling it for $135, for example: https://revspin.net/shop/shakehand-blades/956-3380-butterfly-hadraw-shield-blade.html https://www.tabletennisstore.us/p-2720.aspx?searchEngineName=butterfly-hadraw-shield-defensive-table-tennis-blade Not sure if they ship to Japan...

I know a tt store owner says it'll come sometime in June 2022.

Why surprised? It looks different from the usual shape, and most people hate things that are different.

A way many people have used to save their electronics after dropping in water is to stuff it in side a bucket of rice, raw of course. The rice will help pull out the moisture. Or you should take it as a sign that it's time for you to upgrade to a number edition w968.

Most tables that aren't tournament level equipment (i.e. home use) can be folded or split into two halves and put away, so pretty sure that's not the OP's looking for.

Not even Zhang Yining? Who might just be the best female player since Deng Yaping and Wang Nan. And if I remember correctly she's the first to use an inner ZLC blade that went to the top. And Innerforce ZLC was dubbed the "Queen's Scepter" in China, where the queen is a reference to Zhang Yining.

Just curious, have you considered short pips with thinner rubber? It'd be much more similar to what you're used to and give you a taste of what the sponge rubbers provide.

I use scalpel #24 or #23 . They’re cheap and sharp, use a new blade each time you glue new rubbers. I hate using scissors to cut, they never come out perfect, because you need to stop and go, that’s why you get jagged cuts. While using a knife your cut can be finished in one move.

I very much doubt it’s stone, considering stone surface would be hard to get flat if you use multiple smaller stones to construct the table, and it might be impossible to find a tt table size stone. The ones I’ve seen and used when I was a kid were just concrete + brick tables, easy and cheap to...

This is why you seal your blade, no splinters and water proof (mostly), and only a very thin layer of sealant is required, which has minimal effect on the characteristics of the blade.

Depending on your EJ level, and/or OCD level, lifespan ranges from "bought a new blade to play with", all the way to "chipped it slightly on the edge". Depending on your skill level, and the amount you play, lifespan ranges from "a few months" to "tens of years", basically until the blade has...
