  2. Post your latest EJ purchase

    Why would you use tensor after spending your time training using hard chinese tacky rubber? If you plan to use tensor rubbers later on, stick with it from now on by finding one that you feel suitable for you. C1, Vega Euro, Barracuda good options for you.
  3. DONIC New Zhang Jike blade

    My blade now is a $30 Yinhe Max 02 thanks to 50% discount from the marketplace. Can no longer be compared to Der Echte's blade now. It is aesthetically pleasing with good performance and suitable for me. Btw, that $3 Loki was double 50% discount. I love discount.
  4. Double Fish samples has arrived - what is your opinions?

    I don't boost my rubber, brother. Putting your whole weight behind your shots is actually very rewarding and a good exercise. Winning or losing doesn't matter in training. We have different taste then. Jupiter for me is lackluster compared to VP. Less spin, less forgiving, less powerful. Yinhe...
  5. DONIC New Zhang Jike blade

    Der Echte's blade is cheap but mine was even cheaper and still better looking than this Donic ZJK. A $3 Loki V5 where I slapped unboosted Battle 2 Gold and unboosted Jupiter 3 . I beat everyone with it, from W968 with National H3 BS boosted to Prasidha with D09c on both sides. I sold it to a...
  6. Double Fish samples has arrived - what is your opinions?

    Polestar S plays like a normal chinese rubber. Livelier than Neo H3 but not by much. I prefer VP. Volant Phoenix 1 40. Honestly, I like VP better than Jupiter.
  7. How bad is this tear / how playable is the rubber?

    It is playable. It will not bother you at all.
  8. DHS Hurricane King acB Review

    Which I agree. It doesn't help with your technique tho. What untapped potential is there if cant be used to its fullest potential?
  9. A guide to buying and choosing table tennis equipment from an Intermediate player and EJ

    That's because of constant coaching. But you said you spent a month, brother. Oh well, still doesn't change my point. It's good that it’s working for you.
  10. DONIC New Zhang Jike blade

    The handle design is better at least. I really don't understand the dragon. It's freaking ugly. At least, find a better dragon if they plan to use it.
  11. DHS Hurricane King acB Review

    Unboosted, yes. You have to make up for the shortcoming of the rubber with stellar technique. Boosted? No way. If you are going to improve your stroke, get a super friendship 729, and play with it out of package immediately.
  12. A guide to buying and choosing table tennis equipment from an Intermediate player and EJ

    Well, that's actually not a good backstory at all. You spent only a month playing with Rozenar when you were a beginner. Comparing the you back then and you today who have spent like a few years of training doesn't make sense. It's obvious the beginner you can't hold a candle to you today.
  13. Double Fish samples has arrived - what is your opinions?

    Maybe that's the reason why DF would never experiment with it, it's different than the common chinese rubbers, and players prefer things which are familiar to them. QC sucks too with Qiji and Polestar S. It only took me a month for those two rubbers to bubble. It's pretty much incomparable to...
  14. Double Fish samples has arrived - what is your opinions?

    VP is better than Qiji, Blue or Red. No question there. As for me, I prefer Blue than Red. It's deadlier and harder to use. It takes skill to use it which was something that I liked.

    Well, can we actually tap that unlimited potential? OS is actually mlre forgiving, iirc. Better get that, and enjoy as it supports our less than stellar technique.
  16. Post your latest EJ purchase

    Answer is simple, really. We are blinded by the nearly limitless top end of H3, as if we could actually tap that possibility. What we need is actually a more forgiving rubber than H3 to support our lack of skill and maybe power.
  17. Double Fish samples has arrived - what is your opinions?

    You just love the feeling of a boosted rubber, bro. You boost everything, lol. Blue Qiji or Qiji speed is awesome if you are more of a loopdriving than looping. It's spinny enough for slow loop, but the speed and spin ratio in loopdriving is great. Putting your whole body when hitting it is...
  18. DONIC New Zhang Jike blade

    That dragon is just meh. I mean, they could have just used Chinese characters like Double Fish did with their dragon blade. This is just a disaster. The handle is also a disaster; what is wrong with that round plastic lens at the back? It's going to be awful when being held. Donic should have...
  19. Sanwei Target National (Blue Sponge) vs. Sanwei Hyper Gear 39° for Forehand – Which One is Better?

    For around that price, Forehand: Vega China VM if you can find it or Nittaku H3 OS is good. At my place, the price of STN and Nittaku H3 and Vega China is similar. Only $7 difference. Backhand: Vega Europe if you are looking for easy opening, or if you want something harder Fastarc G1/ C1. You...
