  1. CHINA’S NEXT HERO?! LIN SHIDONG CRAZY TRAINING 2024!

    Gozo, it is only $720 on Prott (not that I have been tempted to take a look on the site). You should get it and then tell us how it plays and is it really God-sent power or not. And we all know you love Butterfly products......
  2. Aliexpress Singles Day 2024

    My first shipment arrived. It is Dawei 388D-2 OX Blue. I bought it for the color and to experiment with ox medium pips which I have never tried before. As usual, I ended up buying more stuff that I intended. Oh well.
  3. Aliexpress Singles Day 2024

    I bought a bunch of Sanwei Target National blue sponge (since Andrea in the other thread said that they are going to come up with some STN, new generation, that will be less tacky again) and H3 neo blue sponge 40 degree. A couple long pips/mediums without sponge since they are dirt cheap. A...
  4. Double Fish Volant-Phoenix

    Thank you for your feedback. Prott is selling that for $10 a sheet so I am debating to try it or not. $10 a sheet is not bad to try something. Thanks again!
  5. Double Fish Volant-Phoenix

    Volant Phoenix blue sponge. Is the top sheet tacky? Is the blue sponge fast enough?
  6. Aliexpress Singles Day 2024

    If you have any doubts, then don't purchase it. I have many blades without rubbers on them.
  7. W968 vs Viscaria

    If you are indeed 2300, just stick with your current blade. 2300 will only happen in my dreams. Honestly if I ever touch 2000, I am just going to retire! 2300 is very good!
  8. Sanwei target national new version

    You might like it if you are used to Chinese rubber on the backhand side. I tried DHS Hurricane 9 pink on the backhand side but I could not get used to it so I am back at using ESN rubber on the backhand side.
  9. Aliexpress Singles Day 2024

    I just looked at my shopping cart and the prices on choice day (which ended two hours ago) are actually less on most items than on 11/11 day. So not sure we will get good deals or not. Like I said if I cannot score some deals on 11/11 day, then I will just order from Prott.
  10. Aliexpress Singles Day 2024

    I have the cheaper one (about $10 per sheet) orange sponge. I like them. But I still like blue sponge more. For example, I think the Sanwei Target National orange sponge for $10 each is much better deal with DHS H3 commercial oranges sponge. In fact, it is better than Mercury II; the latter is...
  11. Aliexpress Singles Day 2024

    I plan to grab Sanwei Target National, blue sponge, BEFORE they make them less tacky AGAIN! I will get some H3 neo provincial blue sponge 40 degree or even 41 degree as I am thinking about going up from 39 degree. If the price on Aliexpress is not that cheap, then I will order from Prott...
  12. Hybrid K1 vs. K3. whats the difference?

    Hybrid K1 EU version is just a trashy rubber. Not good at anything. It has nothing to do with your glue. it is just a trashy rubber. I took mine off after hitting it for 2 minutes. The only other rubber I did that with is Rakza X on my forehand side: too slow and too high of an arc. Those two...
  13. Why the end of China dominance would benefit to Global Table Tennis

    I think many sporting events/stars before have shown that dominance is actually good for any sport. Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan. You wanted the Knicks to beat the Bulls so badly but yet the Bulls and Michael Jordan helped popularize NBA. Tiger Woods. When Tiger Woods was dominating, it...
  14. How to stop 3rd ball loop attack?

    I actually agree with Jesus on this one. Push long with heavy backspin. If your backspin is heavy, the other player has no choice but to loop "upward" so the opening loop should be slow. Then you can get into a rally with him. I noticed in your video that you do not push with heavy backspin...
  15. Sanwei Target 90 and Target 40+ Turbo Pro

    Could you please post the packaging for both rubbers? As you know, Sanwei Target National's packaging is a mess. I just want to see what kind of packaging is for Target 90 and for Target Turbo Pro! Thanks!
  16. Rubber recommendations to replace Friendship 729 Battle 2 National B.S

    Donic BlueStar A1 or A2 depending on how hard you like the sponge to be? I have not played with that rubber since I like my forehand with H3 neo blue sponge; I like it spinny and low arc. I never like high arc on my forehand side. I have a couple clubmates who have tried Bluestar A1 and like it...
  17. Buy another pair of Rakza 7 or buy different rubbers?

    I think you should keep your current blade. Only change one thing at a time. Rubber, I think Rakza X is a great choice. It is faster than Rakza 7. Another good choice is EL-P v.s. MX-P from Tibhar. MX-P is harder and faster than EL-P. However both have pretty good catapult effect if you feel...
  18. Jpen vs Cpen

    Here is my suggestion: 1) Get the Jpen hybrid blade (so it has Jpen handle but the back side, you can put a sheet of rubber on) 2) Choose any inverted rubber, 2.0mm for now, for the forehand. Then on the backhand (i.e. RPB side) put short pips, maybe 1.0mm or 1.5mm. It dos not really matter...
  19. Upgrade from Xiom Vega Europe?

    I think for bang for the buck, just upgrade to Xiom Vega Asia or Xiom Vega Japan. I have both rubbers. Topsheet of Japan is slightly softer than Asia. Japan is a bit more expensive. Both are very good .It is up to you. If you want to go to C-1, I agree as well. I have played with C-1, Xiom...
  20. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    Yes from NYC chinatown. If you want the address, I can give it to you.
