  1. Alternative to boosted DHS Provincial Hurricane 3

    There are also the Loki Arthur Asia, Arthur Europe rubbers, hybrid rubbers. Theses are slightly tacky with ESN type sponge. Asia has harder sponge than the Europe version. There is another Loki rubber, N80, which is a H3 type rubber but faster, tacky hard sponge, but could still need boosting...
  2. Tack of the rubber gone

    Never used the gold version of Battle 2, but have used the standard & provincial versions, these retained their tackiness very well. Strange that your gold version has lost all tack, especially as I would think the top sheet is the same with the variation being the sponge ?? (not totally sure...
  3. You're given $120 to spend on aliexpress, what do you buy?

    I’d try out the Loki Classical table tennis blade $95, you get a really nice case with it!!! Blade is 5 ply all wood all+ I think it’s the case I would like more than the blade!!! Then to round up to the $120, a sheet each of Loki Roxton 5 and Roxton 3 rubbers, about $24. ;)

    Hi Brokenball, I have the 2055 robo pong, have you had any issues with the ‘L’ shaped spring breaking? It’s labelled as part 50 in the manual, part# 2050-159A BF spring, medium (L shaped) 2 of these springs have snapped at the attachment point. wondering if this is a problem other robo pong...
  6. Covid-19 outbreak at US table tennis tournament

    There’s definitely luck involved, my partners daughter, Nicola, who has a heart condition (hole in the heart) is classed as ‘being at risk’ and has therefore virtually been a total recluse since March, her live in boyfriend is a Police Officer, he tested Positive and they had to self isolate for...
  7. New Equipment (Rubbers & Blades) 2020

    I Just bought 2 sheets of R48 (2 weeks ago it was on a TT11 weekly special 25% off ) and 2 Sheets of PK50 (full price). last week the PK50 was on the weekly special, should have waited a week to get the PK50!!!! PK50 is (for me) easier to generate spin on serves than Rakza Z, overall it's not...
  8. DHS HL5 & Dignics 09c help required !

    I used D09C on FH & BH, has more 'bounce' than H3 because of the spring sponge x. Spin is probably slightly less than H3 Neo Prov but still good. the trade mark H3/H3 Neo low forward kick is missing because of the higher throw of D09C. Overall, I preferred D09C on the BH. I think the best...
  9. Loki N80 & Arthur Europe Diamond Rubbers

    I've not had he chance to play with Goldarc 8, so I can't compare.
  10. Fan Zhendong Reverse Pendulum (Fake motion)

    nice clip!! Still a bugger to master the timing for the different contact points and co-ordinating wrist and finger pressure!! ;);) They make it look too easy!!!
  11. Calling all EJ’s !!! List the equipment tried over the last 2yrs

  13. Bernadette Szocs playing with the NEW PINK RUBBER!

    Was the ‘Tornado’ a Yasaka rubber? I remember my uncle using this back in the day!! Honey Orange colour!!
  14. Fan Zhendong Reverse Pendulum (Fake motion)

    One motion, different contact timing creates different spins, very deceptive without having to fake the deception!!!
  15. Boosted rubber will not uncurl - Help

    It’s good that the sheet uncurled! some people put a thin coat of glue on the sponge before applying the booster, so that the sponge has some protection, others don’t and apply booster directly. I think thin coats of booster are better, more time consuming, which is a pain, especially if your...
  16. Spinniest but fastest all-wood blade that you've tried.

    Thats the way my train of thought was going as well !! My Dad is a retired carpenter, somewhere hidden in the garage there’s a range of clamps, so if I can get my head round having a clear out I’ll see what I can do !!! Don’t hold your breath though!!;)
  17. Calling all EJ’s !!! List the equipment tried over the last 2yrs

    check on-line site DHS-729 , they sell a couple of H3 Neo 37 degree versions. What booster and how many coats did you use on the Rakza Z ?
  18. Spinniest but fastest all-wood blade that you've tried.

    Loose grip didn’t kill the speed!!! Harder grip did!!! That’s what ‘s strange!!
  19. Loki N80 & Arthur Europe Diamond Rubbers

    No degree of hardness shown on packaging, other than ‘Hard’ I think the sponge is the same, but it’s the top sheet that varies ones tacky one isn’t!!! Both sponges look the same as well.;)
