  1. What are all the factory-tuned Chinese rubbers?

    Yes and no. Yes it does have a "boosting" effect but that effect is not as durable as haifu-oil or Falco.
  2. Hurricane 8

    5 out of 5 rating for Hurricane 8 I would agree with most of the reviews here. But i needed to add something:Yeah this rubber needs technique and is slow in itself. This is something many of you should already know about a comparable rubber, like the Hurricane 3. So what are we doing with the...
  3. Should I change to Chinese rubber on the forehand?

    If you have no proper reason to change your playstyle and you already learned and grew with the european playstyle it would be kinda foolish to switch. If you wanne try it "for the lulz" - yeah ok then go for it. I mean it is still an interesting experience. But if you want to grow and get...
  4. Uncertainty about short balls

    Depends. As long as you are fast enough and can score with it, keep it up and go for these shots (especially if they are higher). In case your opponents adepts and is suddenly able to block them so fast, that you are unable to get back in position and counter that shot, you should go for a...

  6. Which table tennis websites are best

    Besides this Forum, check youtube. Coach Lin and Ti Long are pretty good sources to get really good information from.
  7. What are all the factory-tuned Chinese rubbers?

    The definition of a boosted rubber contains that the sponge is expanded. If that is the case the rubber has to be curved at least to a certain extent. That is not the case for any of the Hurricane versions. Besides that, what is the point of the debate if it is factory tuned or not. Everything...
  8. Hurricane 8

    Review by 'Attitude' on item 'Hurricane 8'

    I would agree with most of the reviews here. But i needed to add something:Yeah this rubber needs technique and is slow in itself. This is something many of you should already know about a comparable rubber, like the Hurricane 3. So what are we doing with the Hurricane 3 to compensate for the...
  9. Cheap AC Blade?

    Just dont forget to sand and seal this blade if possible. Otherwise you gonna rebuy those next time you switch the rubber. If you want more esn style rubbers than chinese, you should checkout xiom. Tau on fh and vega pro on bh and you have pretty rocketlike setup
  10. Boosted rubber will not uncurl - Help

    If this doesnt flatten at all the next 2-3 days you ****ed up i.e. used too much/often booster The protective sheet caaaan stay on but it is not a good idea because it can have a negative effect on the expansion of the rubber. I usually would recommend getting rid of it the moment you start...
  11. Fan Zhendong Reverse Pendulum (Fake motion)

    Simple answer: no he does not. The only "fake" motion i saw him ever doing was going into his position for the reverse one, but did just a normal pendulum serve. But that cant be called a fakemotion at all
  12. New Blade Boll ALC or Hurricane Long 5

    Beside the points mentioned (and i agree on most parts of it) i would go for the boll alc above Hurricane all time long. These kind of blades are played by a ton of very good players. They provide everything a player could ask for and are very well made. On top of that, i played several...
  13. DHS H3 Provincial BS, 41 degree MAX (unboosted)

    The Rakza would feel way bouncier and probably faster, depending on how you hit the ball with your backhand, than your STN. This is really a complete different kind of rubber. Just keep the other dhs rubber. If you find your way into boosting you can test both rubbers. Maybe then you will like...
  14. DHS H3 Provincial BS, 41 degree MAX (unboosted)

    The harder you chose your rubber the more effort you have to put in your strokes. This is highly inefficient at some point. But no the difference is not high whatsoever. It will just get harder to get a good and consistent ball. If your goal is to better your technique you should definitly...
  15. H3Neo or sanwei target national

    STN has to be out of the question actually. In terms of control and spin it might be okay. But the incredible low arc is smth you really have to get used to. I played it for several months and had serious issues going back to hurricane. I needes several training sessions to get the ball back on...
  16. Dhs tg506x info/review???

    Ok a review wont be possible for quite some time because of Covid 19 regulations in germany -.- But a first look/hands on: Actually im pretty disappointed so far from DHS. The blade finish is utterly bad. I mean i already had to sand that blade quite hard. The sides of the handle had carbon...
  17. Dhs tg506x info/review???

    Asked about that blade a while ago too. No replys and i couldnt find anything review-like on google so i bought it 2 days ago. I will probably write smth about my experience with it after i can play with it again... As for the infos about that: you can find some input on AliExpress. The stores...
  18. Tenergy and cheap chinese non tacky rubber

    I tried the DHS options. Beside a really well boosted and softer Hurricane 3 neo, nothing comes even close to a Tenergy. Maybe the Goldarc Series has some similarities. But that is it. Right now i think the Vega Pro is one of the best alternatives (though i havnt tested the Andro Rasanter...
  19. Hurricane 3 or Hurricane 3 NEO for boosting?

    There are already several posts here about this topic. Neo Version is more receiptive to booster and is overall the better rubber (faster, more spin...) @ArturS if you google for interview with dhs you gonna find the answer on several websites. In short the neo version is slightly factory tuned
  20. Boosting Friendship RITC 729 experiment.

    He does that for quite some time now. I wouldnt guess he works "against" the tackiness with it but against any form of humidity on the rubber which comes from his breath or his sweat. Either way, the tackiness helps usually to be able to perform their short game. And i highly doubt that Ma Long...
