  1. SANWEI Target National vs DHS Hurricane III Provincial

    It's almost comical how much better DHS applies the protector foil onto the rubber. I look forward to the conclusion of this comparison.
  2. Aibiss vs Glayzer 09c

    Aibiss is a sticky anti. BTY has discontinued it very quickly it's so bad. The sponge is so hard it makes H3 blush. They say it's a spring sponge but they forgot to add the springs.
  3. VERY fast Backhand flick (Non Chinese) rubber options?

    The blue I had was much harder and less bouncy than the black one, less grip and much heavier. If I didn't know how good the black is just from the blue V15 I would say the rubber very forgetable. The black one however was very nice. That and G-1 are my favorites from ESN.
  4. How to play against Hyper-Aggressive player?

    Troll them. You can just "complain to yourself out loud" how the opponent's hits lack speed and power, it's like playing against 6-year-old kids. It might stroke his ego the wrong way and he will try to hit harder and miss. You'd be surprised how many times these kinds of mind tricks work.
  5. How to remove the glue from the rubber's sponge?

    You're living up to your name😂 These German made glues are only ok if you glue your rubber once and you only remove them when they are worn. Still cross your finger for not damaging the wood. I'm pretty sure every Chinese glue is better regardless of their price. DHS is very good.
  6. Friendship 729 Battle 2 National vs Friendship 729 Battle 3

    I had the chance to try B3 and I hated it to be honest. I am not even a huge fan of B2 blue and I think I just liked the B2 provincial orange or the golden edition the best. Probably the golden is the best until the topsheet just stretches out and becomes a diaper.
  7. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    Like I mentioned before I have tried both Mantra Pro M and XH. If I just wanna be lazy and define them I would say Mantra Pro M is like a softer Glayzer, and Mantra Pro XH is a softer D05. I think the sponge of the Mantra Pros are really excellent, they both feel super deep and have kinda of a...
  8. Is Timo Boll wearing the good old Energyforce X?

    Obviously Boll has no value for Butterfly anymore so they send him what they find on the bottom shelf 🐷
  9. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    The same. This one was mine. Yup, I am. LAC can't take it and I used it with W968 so not a particularly hard or stiff blade either.
  10. DHS W968 review

    Yeah, few years ago I even had a straight-handle 290. Despite being different construction to HL5 the Carbonado 45 is not a bad alternative for it. They play similarly. To me Carbonados have this weird sound during contact, especially the 290. If someone wants a fast blade the 290 is just about...
  11. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    I boosted it with whiff of FTL, it helped it a lot actually. I liked it after boosting even more. But then it bubbled up. Did the booster accelerate the bubbling? Maybe tho I really just used super thin layer of FTL. I'm fairly certain it would have bubbled up anyway maybe just a few trainings...
  12. DHS W968 review

    I got back from Hong Kong where I had a wonderful time playing with wonderful people in wonderful places. So here's the deal. I kinda made the mistake by only taking 1 blade to HK which was the Zhou Qihao S-ALC. Don't get me wrong it's a fantastic blade, probably my 2nd favorite but I...
  13. Mizuno Q Quality a cheap and performant tensor that matches Tenergy 05 at half price

    I had a similar weight difference between the two rubbers. Red is a bit softer in my opinion.
  14. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    One can just type in Google "taobao brand name rubber name" and Google will find you listings.
  15. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    Well I would say aliexpress is like an international taobao. But taobao is much bigger and lot more stuff on it and cheaper.
  16. Joola Zhou Qihao Super AL-c 90 review

    I randomly met the guy last year when I was in Belgrade and we trained a little so not really😅 I think they get the artificial materials from different places, Joola or the South Korean factory arylate is green now, before that it was orange I think. Butterfly is blue. Butterfly zylon is from...
  17. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    From taobao. Of course they are real.
  18. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    I did not, I just asked for glue, and he sent 2 small bottle plus the edge tape and cover sheet. All of them free of charge.
  19. I need help

    Hey, if you wanna bu the FZD SALC then go for it, I am not against it. I tried the Viscaria SALC and it's OK. I preferred the Joola ZQ SALC90 becuase it's the same contruction and 86g with thicker handle than Viscaira SALC ( and I got it from a sponsored player so I think it's not commercial...
  20. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    I yet have to test the mantra pros, but I have to say compared to China the rest of the world are 3rd class citizens. You can get mantra pro for 160 rmb which is like 23EUR, and the seller free of charge sends you glue, edge tape and cover foil.
