  1. How does Timo Boll win at his age?

    Pretty much being a model athlete and taking care of himself well from what I see. He took his time to heal from his injury well, delaying a comeback until he was 100% healed. Next to that, traveling to league and cup games in Germany with his camper to reduce stress and wasted time to travel...
  2. Blade with more control

    Depending on what weight you prefer I can vouch for the Butterfly Balsa Carbo X5 or X7. X5 is thinner, slower but has more control, X7 bit thicker, faster, bit less control. I personally have an X7 and love it to bits, also because I really like a light blade, with even weight distribution...
  3. difference between big dipper and jupiter 3?

    This exactally. If you are coming from European (hybrid) rubbers, BD will feel more at home. At lower hardness J3 felt like it had the handbrake on when going for a big hit, whereas with BD you feel a little acceleration when going for a big hit. Small bit of advice, don't go too soft when...
  4. Rxton 5 Pro

    Pro editions of the R3 and R5 only come in black!
  5. My experience with Chinese rubbers

    Had glued the Yinhe Moon 12 to my T11s blade and played a training session with it yesterday. Came to two conclusions, the Yinhe T11s is way to hard for me and the Moon 12 is a great safe BH rubber at first glance. Reglued it to my main blade and hope to squeeze in a training session tonight to...
  6. Enjoying Tensor to Hybrid transition. Should I go full tacky next?

    Reading your post and reactions, I'd say welcome to the dark side 😂 Being serious, yes you should try it, but I would suggest not starting with a Hurricane 3, especially not a provincial one. I'd save that for another step up, trying other Chinese (semi-)tacky rubbers first. Yinhe Jupiter III...
  7. ITTF World Team Championships Lineups Revealed

    Is it just me or can I just see the group draw and not the (provisional) line-ups for each country? Or am I missing something?
  8. My experience with Chinese rubbers

    I'd say overall hardness is very similar. The Rxton 3 Pro has a stiffer topsheet, with a softer sponge, Bloom Power has a softer topsheet with harder sponge. I think that spin level would also be similar, think that on full FH strokes the Rxton 3 Pro is more suitable, where as with shorter...
  9. Yinhe SuperKIM

    Interesting, pondering on trying LP for attacking some time. Looked around, AliExpress sellers seem to only sell OX or 1.1. TT-Maximum seems to sell a 1.5, only in stock in black it seems. Can't find 1.7 anywhere, bit long for LP too it seems
  10. looking for non-bouncy grippy cheap rubbers

    I've just glued several sheets of Sanwei Au Golden recently. I've got a Inner-ALC blade with it as BH rubber and glued it to some generic GEWO All+ blade as replacement for the rubbers of a GEWO premade racket. Rubber has lots of control and feels not too bouncy, atleast not to me. It only...
  11. Rxton 5 Pro

    For anyone interested, I posted a review to the Loki Rxton 3 Pro on another thread on this forum! https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/my-experience-with-chinese-rubbers.32387/post-439390
  12. My experience with Chinese rubbers

    Friendship Bloom Power 45 Red Tested as FH rubber on a Yinhe T11s and bit more extensively as BH rubber on my Butterfly Balsa Carbo X7 (main blade). Initially I tried this rubber on my FH on the Yinhe T11s, with SP on the BH. This was very enjoyable as the rubber provided me with great control...
  13. My experience with Chinese rubbers

    Loki Rxton 3 Pro Tested mainly on Butterfly Balsa Carbo X7 22, with some limited time on the Yinhe T11s. To start of, this rubber will be my go-to forehand rubber on my main blade for the time being. From the rubbers I have played with this is easily the best rubber for my forehand for my style...
  14. wide fit shoes

    I can vouch for Mizuno, been using a pair marketed as Volleyball shoes, the Cyclone Speed 3 for a little over year now and they are great! I am an overal big guy and have shoesize 49 or 50 EU depending on the width of the shoe and I can wear Mizuno in 49. Their indoor shoes are great, its a...
  15. Which cleaner do you like?

    I've got a small bottle of Dandoy Bio Cleaner. Been using it for 1,5 years now and I think its about halfway empty. Does the trick. And I am not worried that it wears out rubbers, most likely I have changed them before they wear out anyways 😂
  16. Rubber peeled off after gluing, what should I do next?

    Mending this by putting some glue under it ans holding it down, will be visible and noticable. You will hate it, believe me 😂 Take the time to reglue, if the glue is hard to remove use a spare bit of rubber or a ball to rub it off, just be sure to be gentle and take ur time, you don't want to...
  17. Post your latest EJ purchase

    It's looking like Loki Rxton 3 Pro FH and Bloom Power 45 BH on my Butterfly Balsa Carbo X7 blade. Pretty much set on those rubbers, might twiddle the blade around on Sunday to see which rubber goed FH/BH.
  18. Post your latest EJ purchase

    I've got a thread on here where I post my experiences with Chinese rubbers. The SGH will be a backhand option down the road for me. I can say already that I am pretty much set on my setup for the coming time, which I will hopefully confirm on Sunday, which would mean that I won't test the SGH...
  19. DHS Hurricane 3 Neo. How durable it is and how does it play in humid/wet conditions?

    I tried out my first sheet of H3N yesterday. Commercial H3N 39 degerees in black. It performed okay, but is hardly tacky at all, to the point I am wondering if I have a faulty sheet. I did notice a bit late that the packaging was open, so maybe it oxidized or something. The conditions I tested...
  20. My experience with Chinese rubbers

    After playing a tournament today I decided make some changes to the blades I am trialing at the moment. The Loki Rxton 3 on my main blade is here to stay, however, not sure if this is as BH of FH option. Glued my Bloom Power to it and will swap the blade round to see how we will end up. The...
