  1. United States Smash 2026, Los Angeles, 6/26-7/5

    I think she made a mistake when she switched her FH and BH rubbers (previously she played with Quantum X on the FH), or she's just getting older :)
  2. New Release Alert!!! DONIC ANDERS LIND EXCEPTIONAL

    If it is actually Kiri (core), Limba, Axontex Carbon, Koto (which I believe it is, as the original post doesn't seem to make much sense) then this could be something I'm looking for, an off blade with an outer Koto layer, especially if it's priced similarly to the AL Hexa Carbon. My spare blade...
  3. Different behaviour of a blade after a shock ?

    Maybe it's subscription based, like everything nowadays, and you need to pay for the next period to unlock the full performance again. 😉
  4. Andro Novacell off/s versus Stiga Infinity VPS

    It seems that it's not a very fast blade if it is only slightly faster than TP Ligna ALL. I had Timber 7 off/s before, which is a fast blade, so I thought this one would be similar but seems not. Now I'm in doubt between Novacell off/s and Xiom Hayabusa OFF Pro, which has the same structure but...
  5. Andro Novacell off/s versus Stiga Infinity VPS

    @merlin el mago How does this blade generally feel? I'm looking for something a bit stiffer, but not overly hard , also, how is the handle size? I saw some online reviews that the handle feels a bit too small, and I do not have small hands 🙂
  6. Dear fellow EJs, give me your (non)wisdom

    I checked TTGearLab and other reviews and it seems like a good option, but it might be a bit too soft for my liking. My play style is similar to Mima Ito, using pips/anti on BH, so I prefer slightly harder blades. I'm playing with Joola KLC Santoru Outer, which is surprisingly a good blade, but...
  7. Yasaka Rakza 7 Hard

    I could only find one video about the hard version, they seem positive about the rubber, but unfortunately my Japanese isn't good enough 🙂
  8. Dear fellow EJs, give me your (non)wisdom

    I have the same problem 🙂 Last week I wanted to buy the Acoustic Carbon G-Revision, but they didn't have it in my preferred weight (I prefer lighter blades). I've read that both Acoustic Carbon and MK Carbon are great options for playing close to the table, whihc is my style. I think I'll go for...
  9. Hinoki ZLC

    Have you had a chance to test it yet? How does it play? I'm planing to switch to mid pips on BH next season, so I'm thinking of testing a combi blade
  10. Hinoki ZLC

    Stuor Nobilis Gold is a great blade for the price. I played with it for about a year. The main reason I switched was that I had some trouble controlling BH blocks close to the table, but still tempted to get a lighter one. It pairs well with slightly slower rubbers on the forehand. I tried...
  11. Do fast anti-spin rubbers work with combi blades?

    A combi blade might work well if you want to tame DMS Anti Speed, since it is quite fast for an anti, definitely faster than YAP. If you decide to go with YAP, it sits somewhere in between Anti Speed and Super Anti in tearms of speed. If you want to play more offensively with it, a stiffer OFF...
  12. Singapore Smash 2026, Singapore, 2/19-3/1

    In my opinion one of Calderano's problems is that he is not playing competitive matches between tournaments, as far as I know, he is not competing in any league this season. To stay at the top level and in good form, you need constant high level and pressure match play
  13. Singapore Smash 2026, Singapore, 2/19-3/1

    I actually think it was a good call by the umpire for time wasting. Poret didn't have to wipe his hand just because Uda did it. If Uda was delaying, he would have received a yellow card anyway. Just because players do it regularly doesn't mean it's allowed. The umpire has to keep control of the...
  14. New to PIPS! Some questions!

    Here is a video where a guy tests different OX pips using Viscaria . Youtube
  15. Do you practice pushing?

    I knew a coach who taught his students to start by learning pushing on both FH/BH as the first stroke, before learning anything else. At the time I found it a bit strange, but now I think it was actually a good approach.
  16. Best Chinese sticky rubbers that don't need boosting

    I noticed the same with my H8, an old sheet I had lying around for about 5–6 years is stil much stickier than the one I bought a couple of months ago.
  17. WTT Contender Muscat-2026 (19- 24 January 2026)

    Is this a new format? I see there are group stages now.
  18. Best Andro blade for an offensive, controlled game?

    Does anyone know how fast the Treiber CO OFF is (compered to some other popular blades)? I'm looking for a stiffer outer blade that is still controlled, but not too slow, as I'm switching to short/mid pips on my BH. I'm considering the Treiber CO off, but also the Treiber CO ALL/S. As far as I...
  19. New Andro NUZN 48 and 45

    Has anyone played with Nuzn 45 for a longer period? It's currently on sale at TT11 and I'm tempted to buy it. Due to my shoulder injury I'm looking for a hybrid rubber that is easier to use with a shorter stroke and works well close to table.
  20. What's the best Butterfly off wood blade?

    According to the TTGearLab measurements: Name Avg. Wt (g) Ep Ec Ec/Ep Vp Vl Vl/Vp Butterfly Korbel SK7 87.1 1.55 1.46 0.94 1.17 1.20 1.03 Butterfly SK7 Classic 90.6 2.05 1.86 0.91 1.27 1.30 1.02 The SK7 Classic is faster and harder, while Korbel SK7 feels softer and has more vibration...
