It sounds like a chopping rubber

When you say slow do you mean like unboosted H3?

Spinlord Degu 2.0mm black. Bought for my boomer friend who doesn't know how to order online.

Would you recommend this rubber for beginner players?

Is Marder like Donic Acuda / Baracuda?

Hi all, I am curious to know about the quality and performance of inverted rubbers from Pips/Anti rubber companies (Spinlord, Dr. Neubauer, Der Materialspezialist, Sauer & Troger) and how they compare versus companies who are known for their top inverted rubbers. For example, is Spinlord Irbis...

Congratulations to Harimoto for winning first place. I tried his super zlc blade and it has amazing speed and control.

Aggressive disruptor - TSP balsa 8.5 with Antispin rubber on one side and long pips 0X rubber on other side

Bluefire M1 Turbo feels great on my Ovtcharov IF ALC. Tried it both in FH and BH. Less springy than my MX-P, which allows me to juggle the ball close to the table better, but has enough greats to send powerful loops or BH punches if you have good aim and reaction. Easy to counter loops.

What's a beginner and intermediate? In my view, a beginner is someone who never had a coach and just plays it as a hobby with some cheap racket from local store. Intermediate is someone who went to a coach or learned themselves the mechanics of the same - loops, strokes, pushes, serves etc and...

Hi all, I am a pro wrestling fan and one of my favorite parts about it are wrestler entrances. Was there ever a discussion to give table tennis players wrestler-style entrance music during WTT tournaments? What theme songs would suit players like Waldner, Ma Long, Truls, Felix, Aruna etc. ...

Imperial has good cheap offensive rubbers if you like smashing the ball. For the spin game I suggest Yasaka Rakza series or tacky chinese ones as they're quite cheap (at least here in LTU). If you want best of both worlds I recommend Donic Acuda S2 or Nittaku Fast arc G1, though they are bit...

True, but BHS arc is marked 46, while D05 is 88. So maybe OP wants to keep the high arc just wants the ball to land closer to the end of opponent's table.

Sounds like Zyre 03 would solve OP's FH lack of speed problem

How's Zyre 03? Are you feeling more comfortable with it versus D05?

I tried D05 before on backhand and it requires wrist involvement. MX-P and MX-P 50 are more forgiving on flat hits. Haven't tried D64, but if it plays similar to MX-P and lasts longer I might give it a shot.

Agreed. I was surprised as well. If felt more bouncy than MX-P.

I recommend giving Rasanter C53 a try. I used Rasanter R48 and C53 (both MAX) on Stiga Cybershape AR classic. R48 was bouncy so I had to use gentle strokes, while C53 felt amazing and offered more gears. C53 has more linear trajectory and easier to initiate the attack close to the table, but...

I wonder what's the speed difference between Asuka's and Anders' serves. Probably few milliseconds

What you can do is use edge tape only on the area where the blade touches the table. Timo and Dima use it like that and it makes the racket less head-heavy and easier to switch from BH and FH. This is what I did with my setup. Cause both my MX-P and M1 turbo rubbers aren't light
