  1. Tired and Disappointed of Boosting Hurricane 3

    Nah, that thin plastic won't be able to stop the expansion of the sponge. Even with the plastic on, the rubber still curls like crazy. The plastic is there to keep the topsheet from oxidizing, it has nothing to do with the expansion. As for me, I boosted with the plastic. You never know if...
  2. How to give crazy topspin?

    Just focus on improving your overall game first, instead of getting hung up on generating crazy topspin on your loop. As you get better, the amount of spin you can impart on the ball will naturally increase.

  5. Liang Jingkun signs with LOKI

    I wanted to stay away from LOKI's products, but then they offered a 60% discount on the Teslon Blade and R9. What a disgusting tactic to keep me buying their products.

    Why do you want a crazy topspin?
  7. Double Fish samples has arrived - what is your opinions?

    How is it compared to Viscaria and Dynasty Xuxin?
  8. Liang Jingkun signs with LOKI

    He really needs to change the rubber from H3 BS to R9. That way he shows everyone that LOKI can compete with top products. Don't be like Ahn Jaehyun.
  9. move from TimoBoll ALC to innerfoce blade

    It can be. Even an unboosted H3 won't help you with the short game if you lack the touch and skill for it. My brother plays with TB ALC paired with D05 and T05fx, and his short game is just as good as, if not better, than mine who uses Yinhe Max 02 with VP on both sides. If you think he's a...
  10. Liang Jingkun signs with LOKI

    LJK should now use R9 on is forehand and Telson on the backhand. That will boost LOKI's products for sure.
  11. WTT Champions Chongqing 2025 - 11-16 Mar 2025

    Speaking of which, I saw that Miwa's FH rubber has purple sponge. Is it the new rubber from BTY?
  12. move from TimoBoll ALC to innerfoce blade

    Keep the TB ALC and T05fx. Short game is all about touch and skill, and changing your equipment, either rubber or blade, is compensating for your lack of touch and skill. The trade off is also not worth it, you might be able to play short against players of your level or lower, but not those who...
  13. Some questions about Edge tape, Gluing, impacts on gameplay

    1. I don't use side tape coz my blade and my rubbers are cheap. Using edge tape also change the sound that I make when the edge hit the table. 2. I put 3 layers of glue on the rubber and 1 on the blade. 3. How long do I wait? Around 15 minutes for each glue. I play immediately after gluing it.
  14. Boosting

    If you want a workout, don't boost it. If you want it to be livelier then put two layers. Be a bit generous with it for the first time as a baseline for your future boosting.
  15. Zhang Jike signs with Donic

    So combining A series topsheet and C series sponge took Zhang Jike hours to research. Man, the rubbers are gonna be so pricy, it's filled with ZJK's love, sweat, and tears from working countless hours. Prof. Jike.
  16. Table tennis culture in non-dominant Asian countries? (NOT China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan)

    Yep, we have many of these events every year. Almost every year institutions here celebrate birthday or anniversary or some other occasion. Sometimes they would invite foreign players, but mostly they only accept Indo players. The thing is, the closer it is to election campaign, the more...
  17. Have You Used an Asymmetric Blade Like the SANWEI Two Face? Share Your Experience!

    Well, I've had experience with Yinhe Pro 11S. I have got to say that the difference between Spruce with Inner PLC and Koto with Outer ALC is noticeable for me. It could also because of the rubbers on each surface.
  18. What is the best table tennis ball for matches?

    DHS DJ40+ WTT is good. DF Par 40+ is also good. I think DF is better because it's more consistent than DHS one. Joola is also okay. I don't like Stiga Perform and Donic.
  19. Table tennis culture in non-dominant Asian countries? (NOT China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan)

    Most of the tournaments here are small-scale competitions with prizes ranging from around 70 to 130 US dollars. The tournaments are usually in the form of individual matches or teams sending individual representatives to compete. Meanwhile, matches involving full teams, such as men's teams, are...
  20. Table tennis culture in non-dominant Asian countries? (NOT China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan)

    Table tennis is big in Indonesia. How big? Lots of tournaments every week. The money is also okay. A regional game gold medal winner can get you up to $3-5k. It might be small to you guys but you need to remember the minimum wage here is like $300 a month. It's worth 10-12 month of work...
