  1. Losing pretty instead of winning ugly

    You've just described every long pips player. They can only win ugly because they can't win pretty so they have to resort to different tactics.
  2. WTT Star Contender Lanzhou 2023

    Is that why Majin Bao can't wear official USA colors?
  3. Tension II advanced rubber-making technology by Giant Dragon.

    So is this supposed to have Hurricane grip and Tenergy spring?
  4. 19th Asian Games Hangzhou

    I heard that the N. Korean busses have their windows blacked out when they travel so they can't see how great the outside world is.
  5. Best alternative to Stiga DNA Platinum M (47'5)

    I used it for months. I didn't notice really bad durability. But I'm comparing to Dragon Grip not H3 or chinese rubbers.
  6. Life expectancy of Tibhar K3?

    I wouldn't say that. It last much longer than Dragon Grip. When it starts to wear the performance doesn't drop off a cliff but rather ramp down slowly.
  7. Best alternative to Stiga DNA Platinum M (47'5)

    That's exactly my experience with Stiga Dragon Grip. Seems like they are similar formulations. Try K3 or Omega VII.
  8. Any experiences about the Victas V 22 Double Extra?

    I used the V22 for a few months and really liked it a lot. It has good grip with a slight bit of tack. Good power when you accelerate with it It lasted quite a long time too and didn't lose much grip. The only downfall I found was that it was a little unstable. When hitting medium speed...
  9. 19th Asian Games Hangzhou

    You mean "dissappeared"? I know you can't talk bad about dictatorship like N Korea or China or something might happen to you.
  10. 2023 Pan America Table Tennis Championships

    Funny how there is very little discussion about the Pan Am games. I didn't even know it was coming.
  11. 19th Asian Games Hangzhou

    When you have to play for your next meal you will play like superman.
  12. 19th Asian Games Hangzhou

    Is the Indian team there? I heard their visas got denied.
  13. Old Rubber?

    Rubber degrades with oxygen and light. So if it's not been exposed to either it should last a long time.
  14. Stiga rubbers are cheap in China

    maybe they're counterfeit.
  15. Dignics 09c vs DNA Dragon Grip

    The DG will wear out much faster.
  16. For those over 30yo, what could you have done differently?

    Honestly I don't think I could have done anything differently growing up in the states. I learned TT at an early age and only played friends and family. There were no other avenues at least very few. As I got older I played lots of other sports, baseball, football, basketball, hockey, tennis...
  17. Has anyone tried Hurricane 9 Pink ?

    So I'm guessing that H9 was basically a cheap throw together rubber to please the crowd that wants different colors.
  18. Has anyone tried Hurricane 9 Pink ?

    Is H9 really that bad?
  19. DNA Dragon Grip - how is it?

    I can't say that I agree. I've tried H3 adapted to it and ran away from it. The spin is great but it's just a very demanding rubber. I don't have lightening footwork and a 20 yo's stamina. For me a hybrid is the best compromise. Some stickiness with a tensor rubber for speed.
  20. DNA Dragon Grip - how is it?

    If you like H3 you probably won't like K3. You will think it's too fast and not enough grip. Plus it doesn't last as long. Being a hybrid user there's no way I can use H3. I would throw out my shoulder and end up out of action for months. I even tried Tau II and thought that was way too...
