Cheers Yogi 😀 I’ll put them in front of the Bluegrips for now.

Hi Yogi, O7 China Guang and Ying, haven’t tried them so would they be up there with Bluegrip C2 ?? let me know and I’ll add them in. cheers.

Hi Try ‘googling’ table tennis sponge hardness, look for a post by ‘table tennis nerd’ He gives a good insight into sponge hardness, and how the feel of rubber is dependent on more than just sponge hardness. For example Donic Bluegrip C2 is listed around 60 degree sponge hardness Shore ‘O’...

What was it about RD that didn’t appeal ?

TT11 quote the Triple Regular as having a 'less tacky' top sheet, could it be the original TSP Triple series top sheet?? possibly with original sponge??? with the 'new' Triple Extra and Triple Double Extra having the new 'recipe' top sheet and sponge??

Yesterday I did a quick bounce test, H3 Neo with the film left on and Rakza Z no film, the bounce between the two was almost identical !! About 1 bounce less for the H3 Neo, H3 Neo without film was less, as you’d expect. Rakza Z has a lot less tackiness, holds ball for less than a second, H3...

I’ve used both, but didn’t get on very well with the PK50, Only recently used Bluegrip C2 (on a faster blade.) Both are more toward the ‘very bouncy’ end. Maybe PK50 is closer to the Chinese side. I’m not sure why, (I was really looking forward to using PK50) but just couldn’t get on with it...

Hi M&P Just to clarify things, the Nittaku rubbers have been added to the list, i haven't 'excluded' Thors, I asked for more information. if any other members want a rubber added then that's fine. but what is trying to be produced is a list of where these rubbers may sit, ie more towards a...

Hi, I’m 55 this years and kids are 10 & 13. II got them both the same set ups Tibhar IV-L balsa blade, very light!! Tibhar Aurus Sound rubbers, soft, light reasonable speed, good spin. A light set up!! Only problem is that since COVID lockdown kicked in, they haven’t played for over a year...

I've never used it !! is it a Chinese rubber with a ESN type sponge?

Hi Yogi, Good to see you are getting back into the swing of things and recovering. Yeah it's now become a classification of rubber type in it's own right !!! For me the 1st and main criteria is the tackiness of the top sheet!!! That's the first thing everyone checks with 'Chinese' and 'Hybrid'...

OK i'll slot them in!!

Anyone used the Yasaka Rising / Shining Dragon rubbers?

Hi MK, from what you’ve said, looks like the K1/K2 could sit up with the Bluegrips ?

Just watched the video clip, if that’s how tacky it is, hopefully combined with a good hard springy sponge, I just gotta get me some!!!😀🤪​​​​​​​

Hi Sam, I can see where you are coming from!!! I thought Rakza Z had more tackiness and slightly less bounce. Any tackiness wears off pretty quick with both, but my sheets of Rakza Z had a longer lasting tackiness. The D09C I used to have had the 1.9mm sponge, having just tried T05 / T19 In...

Hi MK, Having never tried K1/K2 etc, do you have any thoughts to where they would sit in the list?

I think TT11 have all 3 versions.😀!!

I gave the Nittaku Hurricane Pro 3 Turbo orange a try and it was different to Std H3, but was still pretty 'dead' feeling, No experience with the Turbo Blue, i would probably put the pair of them with likes of H3-50/H3-60 etc?? Sponge not enough ESN/Spring sponge qualities ?? Has the Victas /...

Yeah, i agree with that, H8 is another that is similar. sponge just doesn't do it!!
