C1 is softer than Quantum X Pro. So, my vote is G1 or/and mantra pro H. Price in dandoy ~30€, until 01/12!

Not yet. I have one red sheet 1.5mm with a redish plastic sponge that feels soft and dead. I don't know if it is the original product, a variation or a fake. The top is soft and thick, with shorter possible pips. Stickiness is not high, at the same level as new H3. The durometer shows from 32 to...

I never use tibhar super defence, only marder 2. All spinlord marder variants have the same topsheet - semitacky, thin top, elastic, with very long pips. Sponge variants are more close to classic Japan or esn hybrids (marder IV). I used marder 2 1.5mm, very similar to mark V, almost the same...

Yes, it is weak and cheap glue. Good for thickening the glue layer before glue removal, but not for actual use in play. SUKE 2 is many times better. No, look terrible. Your target is even glue distribution without bubbles, fragments, etc. Moisturizing the surface can help with the first layer...

Sounds like a glue problem with the rubbers or delamination inside the blade. Apply a small bending force on the blade and listen for noises. It is good to not hear cracking or popping. Try the blade without the rubbers, hitting the ball everywhere. It is good to sound solid and to behave...

Look like top hinoki layers are not with even thickness.

I played Giand Dragon balsa carbon 2C for several years, also one unknown blade with similar construction. Yes, it is stiff, but due to the soft balsa core and thin outer layers, a trampoline effect is present. Depending on the rubbers and applied force, this trampoline effect can add a very...

Balsa carbon blades behave like that. Unfortunately, they have a small sweet spot and are not consistent in very hard hits, imo.

TDE is interesting rubber - very sticky, soft topsheet, very hard sponge, heavy. The factory boost is gone after 2-3 week and the rubber becomes dead. So, manual boosting is a must. I do not expect to be playable after 2 months of regular play, topsheet is fragile. My own TDE is boosted with...

The booster is absorbed in sponge and topsheet. The topsheet became softer and more sticky, depending of the rubber. Softer topsheet is easy to damage. Also, not every rubber responds well on boosters. Different boosters have different effects, for different times. H3 responds well, but will...

H3N BS 39... I tried many rubbers and overall that is the winner for allround play. Best spin generation on service and very good service receive. Can chop, can loop, it is lighter than many others. Bonus point - Honoka Hashinoto is playing with Nittaku version of H3.

The Yinhe 980 is cheap but a very good blade. Depending on the weight variation, speed can reach off-. My own is 83g, 1210Hz, filing relatively stiff all+. Block and push are stable, loop is good, but chop with inverted rubbers is so-so. The soft limba top layer is a bonus for control over the...

Some put 5-6 layers and are in top 10. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/the-pros-equipment-discussion.12497/post-550162 My advice — put one layer of seamoon yellow, wait a day, glue and play. After some time, put a second layer. Play, see the difference. Put more layers if you...

My green LAC has a fragile white sponge that is 44 euro degrees after 2 layers of booster. The top is slightly tacky with exactly the same geometry as H3. Only the transition from the top layer to the pips is sharp. In H3 that transition is conical. The rubber play good for its price, but it is...

You can use the booster as a rubber refresher. Just one layer of baby oil or falco long/platinum will expand the sponge a bit and will put some spin on the topsheet. Also, the issue with rubber shrinking will be fixed. Baby oil is practically free but evaporates over time. Falco platinum will...

Limitless... quality crab. Each sponge's thickness is not controlled, only the combined thickness. Also, heavy and smelly. For the name of science and cheating play, you can try 0.5mm ultra demping sponge (for example kasfu) under hard rubber. Or 1mm elastic sponge under soft rubber. The other...

Golden Viscaria with anti rubbers vs 1ply ayous with T05. Will be epic to watch.

I am using 2 layers of glue on the rubber and one on the blade. After removing the rubber, the blade surface is mostly free of glue, so I have a total of 3 layers of glue that need to be peeled from the sponge. If the sponge has big pores, it is usually softer than 50 degrees, and pealing is not...

That is going straight into the sponge like the acetone from speed glue. It is possible to affect the rubber in a bad way. I am using DHS 15. And Dario's YT trick to add a couple of layers with cheap glue before removing. In such way, the glue layer becomes thicker and can be removed in one go...
