  1. BH rubber for Intermediate player

    Vega europe is fine, just get it again. It's a very common bh rubber, many players love it. It's a good rubber to work on your technique. If you want to try something else for similar skilllevel: Rakza 7 soft Aurus soft Fastarc c1 Rozena
  2. From Butterfly SK7 ( Clipper Like) to Inner carbon blade

    It's not huge difference speed wise. Weight could be lower for carbon blades. Feeling is not as good/pronounced. Unless you can really utilize it or your unhappy with your current blade, it's not worth to change.
  3. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Can anybody tell me about the durability of the telson 100? It's been out a while and I wonder how it fares. Also can someone tell me how similar it would be to goldarc 8 or Matra pro? Throw and speed? I'm thinking of getting some for my forehand
  4. Which is the better short pips?

    It's very fast, very similar to spinlord waran, maybe faster
  5. Which is the better short pips?

    Well its harder, so topend speed is higher theoretical. I never played with the soft one, so can't really tell you about differences. The medium felt quite soft
  6. Which is the better short pips?

    That's the wrong one look for uranus pro, it's a short pip. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQapLpj Is has a really soft and fast sponge, it's very similar to Spinlord Waran but a little more durable.
  7. Which is the better short pips?

    802-40 is more versatile because it's grippy, 802 is better hitting trough spin. Both are a little slow. Of the chinese short pips I liked the sword long can blue sponge and yinhe uranus pro better. They are faster with a more modern sponge.
  8. Budget Set Ups

    Factive is much softer and not tacky. Is plays livelier and is bouncy. Loki rxton 3 and 5 are tacky chinese style rubbers. If you want something similar to Factive but from AliExpress you could try Palio AK47 or Yinhe Moon (normal not blue or speed). If you want a thicker handle,buy similar...
  9. Victas Dyna Five Hard + Nittaku Factive for beginner/intermediate?

    It's a fine beginner setup. It's gonna be very similar. I guess it's a little more linear than the powerwood. Here's a very comprehensive review: https://ttgearlab.com/2017/02/11/review-tibhar-e-lebesson/ This site is great in general if you want to learn more about characteristics of blades...
  10. Switching from Sriver D13 L

    If you want to stay with butterfly: Rozena or Glayzier would be the next step Otherwise: Nittaku factive Xiom Vega intro Stiga mantra control Andro GTT A bit faster than those: Rakza 7
  11. Victas Dyna Five Hard + Nittaku Factive for beginner/intermediate?

    The victas swat is easier to play if you are a beginner, due to softer top plys. Though I still think the blades I mentioned earlier are top tier for beginner offensive players with high ease-of-play/control to speed ratio.
  12. Aliexpress Singles Day 2024

    Friendship 802-40 mystery Friendship 802 mystery Sword long can blue sponge Yinhe Uranus pro The Friendship ones play better boosted, the other too are more modern with soft boosted sponges, they are faster and spinnier for short pips
  13. Victas Dyna Five Hard + Nittaku Factive for beginner/intermediate?

    If your low level it's just not worth it to buy a blade with composite fibers. There are plenty very good high quality all wood blades, that will work much better until you are at a high level. And they are much cheaper.
  14. Victas Dyna Five Hard + Nittaku Factive for beginner/intermediate?

    No it's fine, you're not married to your rubbers for long anyway. Twice a year at least you gonna need new rubbers, still time to go thicker. It's just I think if you want to play offensive tt better get used to thick rubbers. It's gonna be a fine setup.
  15. Victas Dyna Five Hard + Nittaku Factive for beginner/intermediate?

    In general any 5ply allwood is a solid choice. To me the dyna hard would be to expensive for what it is.l, but I haven't played it. I'd opt for something cheaper. Butterfly Korbel Tibhar stratus powerwood Donic Persson Powerplay These differ in handle size the most, so if you can try them...
  16. I need help on chosing my new rubbers

    I'd start with Big Dipper 38 or 39. It's easy to play, has a save high arc. Also h8-80 might be a good starter for chinese rubbers on fh, both rubbers don't need booster.
  17. Blade for Defensive player for blocking

    For close to the table blocking you want hard outer plys. Koto or harder. Many ox players in my area swear on balsa cores. Donic Cayman Spinlord carbon strike Victas balsa 3.5/4.5 These are common here in Germany with pimple blockers
  18. blade and rubber recommendation

    Maybe Rakza 7, bit bouncier and faster, but still considered a control rubber. It's not gonna be as spinny as Rakza z, but still good.
  19. Palio AK47 appreciation topic

    That's quite a big jump in speed and stiffness of the blade. I'd suggest the sanwei fextra 7 or yinhe u2 with the ak47 red.
  20. Best Inverted Defenders Rubber for Backspin?

    ttdd.eu has many chinese rubbers with thinner sponges. Namely 729 battle 2, which is very tacky and spinny, but a little bit livelier than other sticky chinese rubbers. Yinhe mercury 2 could also be interesting, it's quite slow, but throw is higher than other sticky rubbers. But i found it easy...
