That sponge looks mighty thick, thicker than the Hurricane that is almost certainly boosted...could he be trying Zyre?!

I'm not convinced Igor isn't a strange robot or extraterrestrial trying to make friends through an Internet table tennis forum.

Excellent review! Your experience aligns with mine in pretty much every respect. The Vega Korea is excellent for blocking and counterlooping; surprisingly good in the push game; acceptable at driving close to the table; controlled but less powerful at mid-distance; and fine but not really...

No one gonna comment on the new "Infinity" MX-P? This is the first I've heard of an update to that line 😲

Miu Nagasaki is some kind of saint for being able to laugh this off. Down three games and three points in g4 and your opponent has the nerve to call TTR on your serve for the toss angle? I'd be furious even as a supporter of serve enforcement. That just feels like bad sportsmanship. It's one...

This video was very interesting and informative! Actually, this is good marketing for the service. Being able to see the level of precision in the manufacturing gives me more confidence in making a custom racket order. What fiber materials are available to choose from, besides arylate carbon...

Which one specifically did you buy? Mantra Pro or Hybrid MK?

I don't find G-1 particularly spin-sensitive, but I don't feel Vega Korea is, either. G-1 is harder (both sponge and topsheet).

The handle seems pretty average. About the same as my Rossi Emotion and what I remember the Viscaria being. Not as thick (which I also like) as the Sanwei and Loki blades I have.

I was recently gifted this blade by my coach, as a surprise. (Actually, he gave me a choice between this and the Cybershape Wood. I'd never heard of this blade, or the player it's named after, so I chose the Skachkov out of curiosity.) It seems similar to Viscaria in construction but I've never...

Agreed, 8-80 feels like a first-generation precursor to D09c at best. Still a solid BH choice but not really in the same tier. That said I haven't used the Provincial version which is supposed to be livelier. DHS is interesting. They're sort of resting on their laurels as far as equipment goes...

How does the Zyre03 compare to sliced bread? I was thinking of upgrading from White to Wheat, but should I just skip straight to Zyre? 🤔 I want something that can hold up to a lot of mayo and cold cuts, but I don't like my sandwiches to be too tough, either.

That's  really light! Xiom worked some magic with the O8 sponges. How is the O8P? I'm using the old OVT at the moment. I like the combination of speed, spin, and throw so I may just buy another one but at some point I won't be able to get it anymore so I'm wondering if it's worth trying a newer...

Gozo is just trying to start them on the Sriver->Bryce->Tenergy->Dignics->Zyre pathway (rabbit hole). "Oh, Sriver is too slow? Try Bryce, it's still old but faster. Not enough spin? You're ready for Tenergy" and so on 😂

*laughs in Billionaire*

As much as I like Xiom products I would love a Butterfly version of the HAL, if only for a new handle 😂. Butterfly would make sense for the fact that Japan and Brazil have close relations dating back to the early 1900's, with Brazil having the largest population of Japanese descendants outside...

I'd never heard of this one until today so on a lark I got a trial subscription for a streaming service I'd also never heard of so I could watch it. It was filled with about as much, er, patriotism as expected of a state-sponsored film and the fact that they used fictional names for the Chinese...

Update: PRICE DROPS! (Holiday special?!) XVT ZL Hinoki Carbon $40 → $35 Yasaka Rakza Z $25 → $20 Xiom Vega Pro H $35 → $30 ADDED: Stuor Professional Long 5 (HL5 clone) - $25 89g Beautiful surface, one small nick near the edge (see photos). Glue residue has been removed and the blade is...

Despite this "question" sounding awfully trollish, I'll bite and offer some possibilities. 1) We don't know what thickness he was using. Perhaps it was the "magic" 1.9mm that has been championed elsewhere. 2) Wakibatty can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe their argument was purely focused...
