  1. Feedback on my loops against backspin

    Like ck1407 said. You'll have to use the wrist better in both BH and FH, and put some more power and speed into these strokes. Like Carl mentioned. The robot gives you weird balls too, so it would be much better with a human opponent to get the "flow" in playing. When working with turning...
  2. Xiom Tau II

    Well. It's here in EU for a while back :) https://chtt.se/en/varumarken/xiom/xiomgummi/xiom-tau-ii But it's not cheap though.
  3. Pricey Hybrids or Accesible Chinese

    Yes correct https://chtt.se/en/varumarken/yinhe/yinhegummi/yinhe-big-dipper-pro :) Yes it might need some time to break in or perhaps a re-glue makes some difference. It's harder and slower. Unboosted it isn't that fun, but not H3 either of course. But the Big Dipper Pro needs a little more...
  4. Building a custom TT paddle as a beginner

    Giant Dragon - Submarine is also a really nice defensive rubber. It's slow, tacky and not that spinny. Works good for blocking and chopping. Superb control.
  5. what is speed and booster glue?

    This LOKI speed glue looks a bit like the Haifu Whale or Dolphin glues in view and in description. If it's similar, it's not a really good glue, so I would recommend using a waterbased glue to attach the rubber. It might be more of a fast booster with much shorter time of effect, so you use this...
  6. Help with DHS Skyline

    I think as a total beginner Skyline rubbers might be hard to use, especially when coming from a softer rubber like Karate Soft. It all depends on how you play and how good your technique is, so it's really hard to say. If your current setup works good for you, don't change too much, or you have...
  7. Pricey Hybrids or Accesible Chinese

    Big Dipper Pro does not have blue sponge, but this is a totally different rubber than the original Big Dipper. Do you mean the original Big Dipper in black? It has blue sponge. The red one has yellow sponge. Never heard of this problem with them and I've used about 30 pcs of them over the last...
  8. Pricey Hybrids or Accesible Chinese

    Check out LOKI - Rxton IX 39deg (a bit more expensive) or Yinhe - Big Dipper 38/39deg.
  9. Thinking about switching to DHS Hurricane 3

    I think that DHS Hurricane 3 is quite different from Mark V, but it doesn't have to be bad. If you want the Chinese tacky/grippy rubber with a bit softer feel, check out Yinhe - Big Dipper 38/39deg or 729 - Dragon F or perhaps LOKI - Rxton IX 39deg. If your backhand works ok with Mark V, then...
  10. Need help for my second bat

    I can't really say if you can handle a faster carbon blade with a faster, bouncier backhand rubber than you are used to, but as said before it's good not to change too much at the same time. Like lodro says. There are lots of really good Chinese carbon blades for much less money than the...
  11. Seeking Advice on Equipment Upgrade

    I would say that Moon Pro Hard is quite hard to handle for a backhand rubber when you haven't played that long. Mercury 2 is a bit more lively rubber than Super FX to me, and I can generate more spin with the Mercury 2, but everyone's different. Like I wrote above. Check out 729 - Focus III...
  12. Seeking Advice on Equipment Upgrade

    Like Brozi mentioned above. Go with the Mercury II on forehand and practice your technique, looping with full arm swing. Really practice your foot work so you get it all right. Vega Intro might be good. I haven't tried it. Otherwise check out softer rubbers like 729 - Focus III Snipe 42deg or...
  13. Choosing between two setups

    I think you should go with the Clipper until it becomes a bottle neck for you. The Yinhe Pro 01 is quite fast. I had problems controlling this one with my LOKI Rxton IX 40.5deg and it works much better with a tiny bit slower blade like Yinhe V14 Pro or Yinhe 970XX K.
  14. Light BH rubber

    Pimplepark EPOS is a really soft and light weight, tacky rubber. Only available in up to 1.9mm but really nice and controllable for backhand with a tiny catapult. Often around 42 grams cut.
  15. Choose the right combination of blade/rubbers

    I think you should stay with the Kirin 5 or the Stiga Classic blade and use non-tensor rubbers to learn the technique properly. There are no shortcuts in this sport, so start slow with a setup that you feel that you have control in all situations. In both offensive and defensive. Mark V should...
  16. New Bat - What Should I Get - DHS

    As you play with Rasanter R50 now that is a really bouncy soft'ish rubber, you should prepare for some difference if you go for H3 directly. But if you have a plan with this and understand the difference between Rasanter and H3, just go for it. But as Passifid said. Go for the 39deg and not any...
  17. Blade advice - intermediate seeking step up

    Sanwei - Parla is a really nice 7-ply blade.
  18. Rubbers Shrinking?

    Boost it a bit to make it bigger. Then it will fit better.
  19. New Bat - What Should I Get - DHS

    Go for Yinhe Big Dipper. Much easier than H3 for a first time playing Chinese. It's an allround/offensive rubber that works for many players.
  20. New Bat - What Should I Get - DHS

    I have a nice Chinese setup. Yinhe blades and rubbers are really good as well, so don't just look at DHS...
