  1. Sanwei or Yinhe: Which one is the better budget brand?

    Ok good to learn this Pro 11S is on the thinner side, it looked really interesting for me. If it had limba on the FH it would be a no brainer. With spruce I am not so sure, never played with such outer ply. Thanks for elaborating on the handle though.
  2. Sanwei or Yinhe: Which one is the better budget brand?

    For me Yinhe FL handles (N10, Uranus U2, Pro 03/05) are the best blade handles I had, fits perfectly in my hand. Feel kind of bulky. I don't like thinner FL handles like Yasaka, Stuor, Sanwei - there I would have to go with ST handle.
  3. Most consistent BH rubber for opening up the game

    For BH with good control and reasonable spin: Double Fish Volant Phoenix 2 Loki Telson Germany
  4. Does anyone buy balls from Ali Express?

    I have bought these Huieson balls year ago for robot training. They seem decent enough, at least got shoot properly by the simple joola V300 robot (what is not always the case for crappy balls). Afer time I see the only thing is their color is less white and little yellow now even they stored in...
  5. Why doesn't Nittaku fastarc G-1 spin as much as my soft tensor rubber can?

    Rakza 7 is apparently quite popular for coaching and it looks like a safe bet. Two teenagers from my training group enrolled into real club recently (to the reserves actually, but still in lowest of pro leagues). They got recommended some some 7 ply all wood with Rakza 7. They are visiting on...
  6. Nittaku fastarc G-1 is a good rubber? if yes is better for fh or bh?

    I am testing now Loki Telson Germany and for me it is not low throw, at least not lower than Sanwei Gear Hyper what I consider medium-enough throw for BH. Very linear and good spin, enough speed.

  8. Yinhe Big Dipper V vs Yinhe Big Dipper

    I ordered recently both versions, but unfortunately both sellers sent me new Big Dipper V. I tried it, but never played with old version so I can't compare them against. For me it is a little tacky. "Little tacky" for me it means it is tacky enough that rubber prottector with no glue still...
  9. Good, durable, non-tacky Chinese rubbers for a beginner?

    Reactor Tornado V5? Quite cheap and they seem little tacky, but they were not really catching a lot of dust when I used them and much easier to clean than regular tacky rubbers.
  10. Donic Anders Lind Hexa vs Nittaku Septear Feel Inner

    I abandoned Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon for that reason and Yasaka Sweden Extra of my colleague was the same. For Nittaku I can't say explicitly about Septear Feel Handle, but Nittaku Acoustic FL is surely thin, I saw a lot of guys in facebook groups complaining about it and the "Large handle" version...
  11. Donic Anders Lind Hexa vs Nittaku Septear Feel Inner

    I would also consider the handles of these blades which I guess may be quite different. In example for me a good grip is important and if it doesn't fit good I will not like the blade. So Nittaku FL handles are on the thinner side usually, like Yasaka, Victas, Stuor and Sanwei (of the ones I...
  12. Where do you buy your equipment from?

    Poland here. There are few popular internet stores selling known brands stuff, I only buy there normally things like glue, edge tapes, etc. They also have sometimes stuff from aliexpress at higher prices. Rubbers and chinese branded blades I buy from aliexpress (I use mostly chinese rubbers) as...
  13. Looking for a fast backhand rubber with good spin

    The 729 Battle III with H38 may be not bad, for me it is best of cheaper chinese alternatives. It has higher throw than most other, FH-oriented rubbers while retaining good spin. I used it with Falco Tempo Long. For me its spin was most important as I use backhand serve a lot. However, Xiom Vega...
  14. cutting knives for rubber

    What are the dimensions of this oversized blade? Unfortunately I have only regular blades at hand, but I think something like not much bigger should be fine as long as it keeps round enough shape. So no cybershape allowed obviously. Is this blade kind of rectangluar?
  15. cutting knives for rubber

    I am using the one of similar method, but different version. It works fine for the price in my opinion.
  16. Quarterfinal Loss 2-3 in First U1100 Sanctioned Tournament – Please Share Pointers

    This is really good advice I was also given some time ago and it worked for me so I will extend. On this initial level often matches goes into pushing competition. If the opponent is heavy pusher you either push or hits the net. There slow FH loop comes to help you. From the things what work on...
  17. Gewo Aruna Hinoki Carbon Composition?

    I agree the website like revspin or TT blades are useful, but prone to errors as they just rely on user submissions (and megaspin just takes a lot of comments directly from revspin). The sticker from original blade box visible on tt-test.de is clearly more trustworthy if manufacturer is willing...
  18. Gewo Aruna Hinoki Carbon Composition?

    There is a lot of inconsistency in the internet over Joola Aruna OFF and Joola Rossi Emotion. J Rossi Emotion and J Aruna OFF on revspin are both listed as having kiri core. On tt blades DB the JRE has Ayous core and JAO kiri. The tt-test.de link says it is ayous for Gewo Aruna Hinoki OFF.
