I bought both in 2.1mm. For sure I would chose red for BH, 2.1mm is very stable for me, and I`m used to that thickness. QQ catches the ball automatically even if you hit it very thin. But since you mention you are new to RPB then Q1 might be the better option for now as it seems to be easier to...
Hello Andrea,
I have ordered a Sanwei PBO 75 blade from Aliexpress and I get it that is not in your portfolio but I noticed that the Sanwei Fextra one has the same handle design as the Sanwei 75 series. I mean this cannot be a coincidence.
But this is actually not so important. I think the...
What is control? Can you define it in table tennis?
Table tennis equipment has consistency too. It is something that is very important. If the equipment consistency is low then the players consistency will be lower too.
I can hit the ball on the table many times. What is that? Consistency...
Actually I don't doubt you but I have different experience and that is what my biggest gripe is with ESN rubbers. They are not the same. You buy a sheet now and half year later and they are not the same.
For me my black V>15 Extra was and still is lovely to this day. Very stretchy, very bouncy...
I just remembered about the Xiom Vega Europe, that is a nice intermediate rubber too.
But honestly I don't think its price can compete with Q1, Q1 is like 3600JPY ~24-5EUR. Sure shipping is probably double from Japan than from EU in cost and there is also VAT and some duty fee, but I doubt that...
Actually there are not many rubbers that are similar to T64 or D64, There was Rakza 9, Rasanter V series and I guess the Rhyzer 48 was something like that too. I probably would avoid all of these. I tried Rhyzer 48 it's boosted to oblivion.
From Mizuno the Q3 was the T64 equivalent.
From ESN...
I think Rozena is quite bouny even if you don't wish for it so I don't know about that.
Maybe something like Rhyzen CMD or Rhyzen Ice, Fastarc C-1. I guess something like the Andro GTT or Good is for starter players so those might be out of the question.
Honestly just from the quality Mizuno...
Let's say I know how the EU customs operate. If your friend can smuggle it in a buttcrack then by all means do that. Obviously, I'm joking. In a bag it can be easily imported without fees.
If you import it the legal/normal way your local post will charge you some duty handling fee and the local...
Not available anywhere in EU. Your best bet is TT-Japan, their pricing and shipping price, and overall service is impeccable. Sure you need to wait 2 weeks but you only need to wait once. And probably you are better off with TT-Japan since if I look at Q5, their delivered cost is better than...
Jesus fruck, I am kinda drunk now from our team and personal success but I can manage that it should be ~8 rotations per second, And excuse me for not giving a flying fruck for decimals.
Sure, you have a point. I have a Chinese girlfriend, I know what you are talking about.
But the sign means...
I recently bought 2 sheets from TT-Japan, and I have read on Japanese sites that maybe Mizuno/Sumitomo has changed the formula a little due to covid availability etc etc...
So maybe 2022 rubbers are a bit different compared to 2023...
I used Q5 before and loved it until it bubbled up after...
K2 has a dense and hard sponge. K3 has a cake sponge. By rating K2 is 54 degrees and K3 is 53 degrees, but K3 feels much softer.
K2 topsheet is tackier by a lot K3 only has a whiff of tack. However K3 is more spinny, K2 is more direct. K2 is better for power play why K3 is much better for...
What you say sounds about right, it should act like that. The top 2 plies of the blade are fairly soft and hold the ball. It's unlike the TBS which is quite hard and has a sharp contact feel. With blades like the Nexy Pro ALC you really need to hit the ball not brush it so much, you should get...
As far as I know this should be a Ma Long HL5 or W968 clone blade. It's strange you find both T80 and D09c dead on it. Normal Tenergies are usually not that great on very fast blades which the Nexy Pro ALC is certainly not, in fact should be slower than TBS.
Honestly if these don't work for you...
Sword VSea has vectran carbon, which is ALC. Nevertheless a nice looking blade. Let us know how thick the handle is, on the pics it looks a bit slim, among the lines of commercial HL5.
Yes, they are worth it but I wouldn't buy the Mach anymore if I were you.
If you can order from taobao or lazada or shopee (not sure what is available in Vietnam) just get the Lezoline 9. It has the same sole as the Mach and the Rifones and it costs half. On taobao one can get it around 250RMB...
I think 40deg 2.1mm is a good baseline from H3BS. Maybe it won't be your favorite, but guess what you can pick 39 if you wish for softer or 41 if you want a bit harder, but I would advise to ge 40deg first. It might be the perfect hardness for you.
I don't understand why tennis players use their backhand at all. To me it looks like players have an insanely huge amount of time to swap hands all the time so they could play their forehand only. Most of the players have terrible backhands too so it wouldn't take much practice to surpass with...
If you were a gentleman you would ask Ma Long and the others in person to accept your challenge. You're not even trying to make it happen in reality so far. You're requesting the 3 players on a forum that 2 can't even read and you're calling a result before the experiment happened. That is poor...
