  2. Nexy Fitting Racket Order

    Great video, thanks! Too bad there's no translation...
  3. What’s Better: Playing Hard or Playing Smart?

    You are very lucky to have people who can give you good advice. It means a lot, appreciate it.
  4. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    This forum thread can now be closed :D
  5. Drying racket

    I also have experience drying the blade (without the handles) in a preheated and turned-off oven. However, I always clamp the blade in a press to prevent warping.
  6. Help me understand the massive diversity in price range of all wood 5 ply blafes

    They may not factor in the costs of marketing and player sponsorship for products within Japan, but for global prices these costs are taken into account. Anyway without having prime cost data, which also includes expenses on advertising, marketing, player sponsorship and distribution, it is very...
  7. Help me understand the massive diversity in price range of all wood 5 ply blafes

    Butterfly's high prices, in addition to direct production costs, also include marketing and sponsorship costs for a large number of athletes. They also invest in research and development. I don't think Loki is involved in research and development :-)
  8. Help a newbie out on some questions on my setup

    The Jupiter 3 38 is a good upgrade for the Mercury 2. It's a good training rubber with a very grippy topsheet and low speed after the factory booster wears off. The topsheet lasts a long time.
  9. Help a newbie out on some questions on my setup

    Not a bad option for a beginner player - Loki Rxton 3. It can be used on both sides
  10. How to remove glue

    In severe cases, an iron helps. There is no need to heat the rubber surface, but rather to work with the edge of the iron.
  11. Yinhe E.moon

    It would be interesting to see how it plays without a boost on water glue.
  12. Rare Blade Butterfly BISIDE unplayed. Does anyone knows any details about this blade? Value? Rare? Thankful for some more Informations.

    What I see is that the Biside is very similar in design to the Keyshot Light, the difference is in the surface. The Keyshot Light has a koto, and the Bsside has a limba. There may also be a difference in blade thickness. Keyshot Light is very flexible blade, it bends easily despite its large...
  13. Change from Bfy to ESN

    The combination of rubber and blade is important. With a Viscaria-type blade (external reinforcement and koto on surface) the G09C feels completely different than with a inner structure blade with limba on surface.
  14. Looking for a fast backhand rubber with good spin

    Don't repeat my mistakes. I tried a lot of inexpensive сhinese rubber and couldn't find one that worked for my backhand. You'll end up spending more money on experimentation. There are excellent and relatively inexpensive rubbers from Nittaku (Fastarс series), Yasaka (Rakza series), Xiom (Vega...
  15. Best racket case?

    Maybe it's for the best, because if there was a strong case, he would have broken his ribs :ROFLMAO:
  16. cutting knives for rubber

    I've already written in another thread about what I use for over 15 years, not only for myself but also for many friends, but I'll repeat it here because it's very inexpensive and produces a very high-quality cut. I use single-edged razor blades. Since the blade is very thin, it bends easily...
  17. Yinhe Jupiter 3 Asia (40 deg) - FH or BH?

    It will play great out of the box, since it has a factory booster, but after 2-3 weeks, the performance will drop by 1.5 times. If you want to play without a booster, then better the Double Fish Volant Phoenix 1. Hardness 39 feels like 41 for J3. Great rubber for the low price.
  18. The oddity of me and table tennis

    In my opinion, you are not doing anything so strange or stupid. Many amateurs do the same. For example, if you ate a ball after losing, that would be strange :-)
  19. Hybrid rubber to replace Mark 5

    That's true, but Rakza Z is more sensitive to the opponent's rotation. A lot depends on his playing style. I recommended a more versatile rubbers. By the way, if it's too fast, he can go back to "good old" but new Mark 5.
  20. Hybrid rubber to replace Mark 5

    I also wouldn't recommend a hybrid rubber for your friend, because the stickiness reduces speed and often hybrid rubbers require a faster blade. Rakza7, FastarcC1, VegaEurope will be a good upgrade
