  1. DHS H3N Prov BS on Forehand and Tenergy 19 on backhand?

    I play FZD ALC with boosted H3N 39 commercial on FH and Tenergy19 on BH. I played with unboosted H3N before and could not play well enough. Finally decided I’m already so invested in the Chinese stroke so why not. And all my life I had been running away from Butterfly blades because of the high...
  2. Best budget rubber for BH?

    You’re on the wrong thread 🤪 I am planning to change my bh rubber to D05.
  3. Best budget rubber for BH?

    I haven’t played with C1, but I have wth G1 and S1. I would say those have a medium high to high throw angle. The Yinhe Moon 12 Blue medium hard has a medium throw angle. I actually did not think the sponge felt too hard. The topsheet has some softness that I think compliments with the medium...
  4. W968 Replica from Aliexpress

    Yep, that’s the one.
  5. W968 Replica from Aliexpress

  6. W968 Replica from Aliexpress

    Alright, so what’s the view on replica blades? As an equipment junkie, I’ve purchased a few replica blades namely: TB ALC, Viscaria, and W968. The TB ALC replica was actually called Timo Boer 😂. This one had wide wings. I assembled it with Palio AK47 Red and Blue. It had insane speed and...
  7. Best budget rubber for BH?

    I just glued a Yinhe Moon 12 Blue medium hard on a replica W968 and wow it is amazing. This might be the best budget backhand I’ve ever played with. I will update once I get more time with it. It has some catapult effect that feels controlled. I don’t feel like it lacks any speed or spin.
  8. Hurricane 3 Neo Commercial 37 Degrees Red

    I’ve looked online for commercial H3N 37 degrees but cannot find them available in red rubber, only black. Does it actually come in red? I’m only looking for commercial as I want to keep it cheap. I plan to boost it and use for backhand on a Loki Kirin K3 blade. Or is there an alternative that...
  9. Tenergy 19 review, still a smart choice in 2026

    My FZD ALC is my first Butterfly blade. I’ve tried Tenergy on many other brands, but I feel that Butterfly rubbers play the best on Butterfly blades. I said that I don’t like Tenergy05, but I recently played with my friend’s Outerforce ZLC with T05 and wow I actually enjoy hitting with it. Nice...
  10. Tenergy 19 review, still a smart choice in 2026

    I'm also a believer in Tenergy19. Never liked the play with Tenergy05. T19 allows the ball to sink into the rubber/sponge and increase dwell time. Couple years ago, I had T19 on BH for my Xiom Ice Cream AZXi for some time and enjoyed it. Changed the T05H on FH to T19 and it was way better for my...
  11. Chinese special blue sponge degree differences

    I bought a b2 nbs for my fzd alc, but I've been busy. I will assemble it soon and see how it is.
  12. Chinese special blue sponge degree differences

    I went with Battle 2 Provincial Blue Sponge 38. So far I'm impressed with my forehand loops and drives. When hitting consistent, the people that I usually play with have not been able to return my forehand loop kills. The only thing that I have an issue with is that the topsheet is not as tacky...
  13. I find it difficult to play against a premade paddle!

    Actually I plan to ask him next time to let me try it!
  14. I find it difficult to play against a premade paddle!

    It's hard to say what my USATT rating is. I don't live in an area that has a league and the one TT Facility I had planned to enter tournaments removed TT. If I had to give myself a rough guess I would be anywhere between 1200-1500 but if I'm very consistent I can see it being up to 1600. I'm...
  15. I find it difficult to play against a premade paddle!

    Alright, so I need to know what I'm doing wrong! A friend I play with uses a premade Timo Boll with Dignics05 FH and Pan Asia BH. I have no difficulty winning unless I'm just really off that day. However, he recently switched back to his older premade paddle, which I believe is the Butterly...
  16. Advice and thoughts on wet ball during rally

    Update: Our group is quite small so not playing him is almost unavoidable and I do like to play against him cause then I go no mercy on him allowing me to be most aggressive. So I did approach him about the wet balls, with another member there, just so that it doesn't get hostile. I explained...
  17. Loki Kirin K3 Blade Aliexpress

    Bought a Loki Kirin K3 blade off of Aliexpress to feed the EJ thirst. Trying to figure out if the blade I received is real or fake. I want to say that the real blade says Nano Carbon on the face above the handle; as seen in all images online and videos on youtube. Whereas, the one I received...
  18. Advice and thoughts on wet ball during rally

    I play with a group of regular people. There's one particular person, although he's not a bad person at all, that I believe is putting sweat on the ball unintentionally. However, when I confront that the ball is wet we get into a tensioned situation. I always wipe the ball before serving. I've...
  19. Looking for a budget backhand rubber with holding effect to allow the ball to sink into the rubber

    Are there any rubbers that have the effect of allowing the ball to sink into the rubber similar to Tenergy 19, but at a much lower price? Is this effect more due to the pimple structure rather than the softness of the sponge? I have played T05FX and it is does not give a similar feeling that I...
  20. Chinese special blue sponge degree differences

    I was just stating that my experience is with hurricane and not making a comparison between the two. The comparison I wanted to know is between provincial and national and the degrees of 38 and 39. My question maybe more directed to Battle II, but would also listen to any experience with Hurricane.
