  1. Nittaku fastarc g-1 max thickness?

    It seems so, at least on the German Nittaku website. Where, btw, they don´t offer P1.
  2. Closed FS XVT Hinoki ALC

    25 Euro plus shipping anyone?
  3. Closed heavy STIGA Clipper ST

    Can be sold with used rubbers Helix Platinum M 2.2 mm black (was cut to Cybershaoe before) and Evolution MX-P 2.1 mm red, played for approx. 3 months each Total price 55,00 Euro plus shipping
  4. Equipment of pros(up till early 2026)

    The official hardness of Zyre is 44 degrees Butterfly scale which roughly equals ESN 55. And yes, his blade is mentioned as Custom ZLC. And isn´t there a thread about pro material already? Maybe a merger would make sense?
  5. help me to choose my backhand rubber, NUZN 45 or Thibar MK FX ?

    I don´t see any noticeable difference in spin generation between the two, but that is always subject to the individual technique. That said, even a slight advantage for the MK has to be balanced against the durability. But while there is a major difference between NUZN 50/55 over K3 in that...
  6. help me to choose my backhand rubber, NUZN 45 or Thibar MK FX ?

    In that field, no other hybrid beats NUZN.
  7. Beating the plateau at low intermediate level

    Considering Tensor was announced as a speed glue replacement, you kinda replaced something you never had. I would not give a beginner classic rubbers anymore, but I also wouldn´t take them away from someone who enjoys and succeeds playing with them. So maybe you should try a Vari Spin or Vario...
  8. New andro HY-Q rubbers

    Indeed. I would have guessed from your photo that those are marks left by new balls. Maybe with sticky rubbers they´re harder to clean.
  9. New andro HY-Q rubbers

    Yes, that seems to be the case quite often, and I know some people are put off by that. But some people also can´t play when the rubbers aren´t perfectly cut with a surgical knife or when they are 1 mm too small. ;) However, when the properties are also affected it´s time to change the rubber of...
  10. New andro HY-Q rubbers

    Can´t complain. It hasn´t been cleaned, just breathed upon and wiped, and covered with the foil that came with it.
  11. New andro HY-Q rubbers

    No problem. Yeah, I see I was a bit sloppy there. ;) I played HY-Q 48 red 2.1 mm on a Taiwanese copy of the Fan Zhendong ALC. I tried on both forehand and backhand in "open game" with a friend, against defence and with a robot. In open game or match situation I think HY-Q 48 is really good for...
  12. New andro HY-Q rubbers

    Better is always relative. NUZN rubbers feel more lively to me because they have a little more catapult effect, so I prefer them to the stickier HY-Q or C-Rasanter. If you think of hybrid rubbers` general idea of combining stickiness with dynamic tensor sponges, HY-Q would tip the scale more to...
  13. New andro HY-Q rubbers

    I don´t see any generalities in the opening post of this thread. Of course I could have put "I think that" or "In my opinion" before any statement, which sometimes I think would be the right thing to do, because one man´s dream blade is another man´s firewood. So bare with me for that. But what...
  14. New andro HY-Q rubbers

    No, just a small preference of one brand over others when it comes to buying something for testing. Other stuff I might get handed down from friends coocasionally and try it then. According to your profile ESN hybrids can´t be THAT bad, can they? Or is that outdated info?
  15. In-depth look at Tibhar equipment. Any feedback you'd like to share?

    There are two Aurus series. Aurus (47.5 degree sponge), Aurus Soft (42.5) and Aurus Sound (37.5) appeared a long time ago. Prime and Select are totally different rubbers, featuring the "thin topsheet for thicker max sponge" concept introduced by Andro with the Rasanter series. Why Tibhar...
  16. In-depth look at Tibhar equipment. Any feedback you'd like to share?

    It never caught on with pro-level table tennis, which was dominated by tenergy05 at the time. There were pro-player versions of Genius, never saw any of Aurus. Next big thing: Evolution series. Aurus, with all its qualities, fell by the wayside. Even worse: Quite shortly after Evolution...
  17. New andro HY-Q rubbers

    I´ve only tried Vega Pro H once and was hugely disappointed. That rubber just didn´t speak to me, it seemed like a rush-release to cash in on the hybrid trend in the low budget market. Compared to that, I wouldn´t know about speed, but the HY-Q offers a much better feeling. But at the end of...
  18. New andro HY-Q rubbers

    Two weeks on, my impressions are the same as in the opening post, and the rubber is still looking fresh.
  19. GEWO Lineup

    There are several Tensor "generations" and their variants. The Hype series has been around for a while. You could say it fits in with other "I´d really like to be tenergy05" rubbers produced by ESN for quite some time. Nexxus is Gewo´s version of the technology that had a thinner topsheet to...
  20. Wondering about heavy backside rubbers - Which are there?

    If you are happy with your current rubber (MX-P?) a heavier one might come with very different properties. This might be a better solution https://www.spinfactory.de/montage/kantenband/nittaku-tischtennis-side-balancer-gewichtsband-5-stueck.html
