Dragon grip is an excellent rubber with power and speed. I like it for both fh and bh! I wish it was available in 50d for bh! Why hasnt any brand done this yet!? It would be awesome. I know there is dna hybrid at 50d, but its not the same as it is much slower with less rebound. Tibhar MK is...

Recently I have been doing a drill with partner where he does a medium or long serve to me and I just loop it. I find that I usually am bad at this for the first 20 shots or so, and then gradually find the feeling and can execute it well. But then the next day, im back to being bad again...

I understand that the Viscaria is actually smaller than Chinese head sizes. I believe Viscaria is 157x150mm. My blades from Stuor, DHS, Sanwei all seem to share a common size, and seem to be larger than Viscaria. I guess they might be 160x150. I'm pretty exclusively using Chinese-made blades...

So, I think everybody agrees that the best way to return a long serve is with a loop. If somebody serves short underspin, i'm reasonably good at pushing short close to the net. But what's the best way to return short serves that are not underspin? (no spin, sidespin, side-under). Generally...

Today I played a 1600 rated guy who only pushes nonstop. They just push to my backhand all the time. Normally my bh loop against underspin is my strength...but for some reason I totally fell apart mentally against a guy who only pushes to my bh. What is going on? I think maybe because he's...

I find that having a good sparring partner that challenges you a bit and can play 6 or 7 or 8 straight sparring matches in a row with you is a great way to improve and get in form. As I keep playing over and over, I find myself making small adjustments to their game, and I find myself getting...

Where is the correct place to put your left hand when your do a BH loop. My natural tendency is to put my left hand horizontal between my stomach and my paddle. It feels like I am getting balance when I do this. But sometimes my paddle hits my handle and messes up my stroke. So I don't know if...

I have 2 friends who I often play with, they're not as good as me but when they play well, they are reasonably competitive. When they play reasonably well, they would feel like 1800 and 1600 players to me. However, I notice that when they play 1400 or 1500 players, they play much worse. They...

None of these sites allow a rating for the rubber's reaction to booster. To me, this is often times the main feature for what makes a rubber good or bad. So many rubbers have a transformational response to booster and they should be recognized for that. Many other rubbers have almost no...

I haven't hit with a Viscaria in a really long time. I kinda remember it being somewhat stiff and snappy and I guess fast. Today I hit with a mate's paddle which was Viscaria with D09c/D05. To my surprise, I found that it was quite flexy and soft. By no means did I find it stiffer than my...

I know some people like to pull the rubber a little bit when they glue it onto the blade. Does this change the throw angle? After gluing hundreds of rackets...I have a very vague impression that by stretching the rubber, it lowers the throw angle a little bit. But I'm not 100% certain. Does...

Today I played with a guy who let me try his Nittaku So-Ten. $150 on Paddle Palace, so should be really good blade, right? Honestly it didn't feel very much different from my $30 Sanwei F3 Pro. Seriously they felt very similar. Both have a soft feel with flex. I honestly don't think either one...

I just bought a knife for $1.70 on Aliexpress. It's my first time using a knife, as I always use scissors before. I just tested it out, and it seems to work fine. It can cut through rubber with reasonable pressure. But how many sheets of rubber can it cut before I need to replace it?

https://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/yinhe-big-dipper-40-national-9035l-black I noticed Table Tennis 11 started selling Yinhe rubbers. How cool. They have this Big Dipper National that I've never seen before. Would love to know how it compares to the regular BD.

I'd like to discuss my experience with 4 Joola hybrid rubbers: Dynaryz ZGR, Dynaryz ZGX, Rhyzen ZGR (now Tronix), and Rhyzen ZGX. Dynaryz ZGR - I suppose this is meant to be Joola's premium flagship hybrid rubber. Overall it is good and does everything I want. It is slightly tacky, very hard...

https://www.facebook.com/reel/2396457297410867 Is this the worst pro serve in the world? It literally looks like he is not even trying. What is the point of him doing this serve?

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mN1EzSc I just noticed this seamoon 2. Is this a new product? How is it different from tegular seamoon?

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806665714416.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa Any idea about this rubber from Haifu? How does this carbon sponge play? I had another sheet of H39 Haifu Whale, and it was pretty good. A bit tacky, and responded well to booster.

I personally find that looping with BH is a lot easier than FH. Lately, I often move to my right side so that I can open up with my bh. I find that using FH to loop requires a lot of physical strength, while using BH only requires some wrist. I can do 10 bh loops without feeling tired, but 1 or...
