Hey all, This is my last review before the summer holidays and could potentially be a controversial one, but I'm still going to put it here and we see where the chatter goes hahaha So I just finished the review of the Donic BlueGrip C2 (and also finished with reviewing BlueGrip for a while)...

Hey all! This week I'm back with a small pause in my Donic BlueGrip adventures and with a review of a rubber that I wanted to test in depth for a long time, I'm sure many of you have wondered how the Big Dipper 5 plays as well! It's an interesting budget rubber, for the price it has, the...

This week I continue testing the Donic BlueGrip series with the BlueGrip S1, a hybrid tensor rubber that I actually quite enjoyed testing, so it will stay a bit longer on my b2x test blade to see how it fares in time, as some others mention durability issues which I haven't experienced yet (but...

I'm back with a new hybrid rubber review cycle (I'm into hybrids ;) ), this time with the Donic BlueGrip series and I'll be reviewing theBlueGrip S2, S1 and C2. I promise to come back to the new J series in a bit, but doing the older ones first allows me to later on compare them to the new ones...

Hello everybody, Last week I shared the review of the new Andro NUZN 45, and promised you all that very soon I'd have the review of the Andro NUZN 48 ready, I know a couple of you had good interest in that so here it is! I must say it's a great rubber and definitely one that I enjoyed as well...

Hello good TTD people, A while ago I had some strong EJ impulse and bought a lot of stuff, you can see my madness here haha Anyways, out of that community poll, the NUZN 45 and 48 came on top of the priorities list that was crowdsourced, and so today I have a fresh rubber review for you guys...

I really like the DHS Hurricane 8-80 on my backhand, and since I did the review of it a couple weeks ago, many people had asked me about the new Nittaku 8-80 Power version. I had not tried it before and I couldn't let it go, so got a sheet all the way from Tokyo haha I was quite excited about...

I know it's being a while since Rakza Z came into the market, and since the TTD team did a fantastic review on it and compared the rubber to the Dignics 09c, but since I have played with the rubber for a fair amount of time (so it was an easy review), and the new Razka 7 Hard came into the...

Hey all! I'd like to add here my personal experience and feeling using the DHS Hurricane 8-80 for quite a while on the backhand. Until now we had a couple other very nice posts talking about the topic, so wanted to make those more complete with my review. Mine is mostly based on the 37...

Hey everybody, I come today with a (possibly) controversial topic after having tried 3 sheets of Dignics 09c (1.9 and 2.1) for about a year on 3 different blades (Nittaku Violin, DHS PG7 and DHS Wang Chuqin). My testing was done approx 80% of the time on BH and 20% on FH, as for my forehand I...

The DHS Hurricane 3 Neo is one of the most popular table tennis rubbers in the world and also one of the most misunderstood, there are endless myths and conflicting opinions about it. Most people argue about versions, sponge hardness, sponge colour, boosting, and more (I see this almost week on...

When I started playing TT, I got told that forehand and fast feet was the only thing I needed, so I did not learnt backhand correctly in the first 2 years. Then I realised that advice was wrong, specially looking at modern TT games, and starting learning how to attack on BH. But after talking...

Edit 3rd March 2026: I have now turned this into a blogpost and will be reviewing more blades in time. To check my 2026 best picks have a look here! https://www.tabletennisequipmenthelp.com/blog/best-intermediate-table-tennis-blades-all-plus-off-minus Hey everyone! 🏓 I'm putting together a...

Hello all, In my first post in this forum last week I opened up the topic of why most amateurs (discussion established that those with active coaching and training are likely a nuanced exclusion) should avoid fast equipment and the reasons for that. You can find that topic here. Since last...

Hey all, I'm just new to the forum even though I have been checking information and following Dan and co for a long time, just lurking in the shadows and learning :) After playing table tennis now for about 8+ years and being the amateur (beginners, intermediates) coach of our club for around...
