  1. What hybrid are you using nowadays?

    Unsure about Q because I have not used it but Z2 and Mantra Pro are decidedly nontacky Japanese style rubbers.
  2. New chopper, need help selecting a long pip rubber :)

    Just get something cheap, with thin sponge to start out with. Yinhe Neptune or 955, Dawei 388D-1, are good places to start
  3. Victas P1V discontinued?

    Megaspin ships Victas from Tabletennisstore.us
  4. Donic Bluestar vs. Bluegrip?

    C1 and C2 are Chinese style Hybrids, very hard sponges and I wouldn't recommend them if you don't have a strong swing. That being said, you can achieve crazy shot quality with these rubbers if you can juice them properly A1 is a Euro style hybrid, easier to activate than C series but less spin...
  5. Splintering problem

    Works all the same
  6. Splintering problem

    My Cybershape Clipper has not splintered even after a few rubber changes. It seems to be factory sealed. I use DHS No.15. Maybe your glue choice is the main issue if you are indeed splintering sealed blades. You could also do a layer of VOC glue on the blade first to create a slightly weaker...
  7. Bluefire M2 alternative

    The thing with these newer generation German rubbers is that they play well when fresh but they have a short lifespan because they are factory boosted. I have had the same issues with a lot of German rubbers in particular where they do not play as well after 1-2 months. You can upgrade to...
  8. 38mm speed glue era table tennis

    DiogeTTTube has been a gold mine for content practically ever since I started playing in the early 2010's, I'm amazed that he still puts out high quality content
  9. Tips for when you hate your new rubber?

    You say these new rubbers made your racket a whole lot heavier, its a possibility you just aren't used to how to handle the extra weight which is affecting your racket handling ability. If you play with a racket that is too light or too heavy in relativity to your preferences and experiences...
  10. Anders Lind’s new blade: “Donic Anders Lind Hexa Carbon” question, please review it if you use it

    I'm sorry, I can't say because I have not spent a lot of time with TCI (only had a brief hit with a friends racket)
  11. Is Fastarck G-1 FH, Razka Z BH on Thibar Status power wood a good combo?

    I like SPW a lot, used it for a while, I have owned several. IMO I think its a great blade to get a taste of a real racket but for those who start to develop a legitimate modern attacking technique, I think 7 ply blades like Xiom Solo and Szocs Signature 1/Samsonov Force Pro have better support...
  12. Anders Lind’s new blade: “Donic Anders Lind Hexa Carbon” question, please review it if you use it

    Less speed and less crisp medium hard feeling. A Lind is a bit softer impact with more hollow feeling than koto outer ALC. I think its worth a try though, it is not a slow blade after all, but it is also still inner construction. Though if you want a slightly slower outer ALC i think both the...
  13. Harimoto seen using new butterfly rubber

    Considering Hybrid MK is only ESN47.5 and Harimoto is at least known to be using D05 (ESN50, and there's a good chance he is using a special harder version too) I don't think so. Even MKPro (ESN50) I found to be less aggressive than D05. I don't think there would be much in it for a pro like...
  14. Butterfly Aibiss?

    IIRC I'm pretty sure Aibiss predates G09C by at least a year or two, mainly I think it was supposed to be positioned as a newer but cheaper take on SpinArt rather than a cheap D09C.
  15. More tacky = more spin??

    1- More tacky doesn't necessarily mean more spin but if you're used to tacky rubbers, it would make sense that you are also better at getting more mileage out of a tacky rubber rather than a nontacky one. 2- Even modern Chinese style rubbers like Hurricane and Skyline are no longer tacky as...
  16. Rakza 7 vs DHS Gold Arc 8 (47.5)

    I found GA8 47.5 max is heavier than R7 max by a few grams. Maybe just manufacturer tolerance but I'd go for 2mm
  17. The Pro's Equipment - Discussion!

    Could've sworn I saw him using FZDSALC at some of the previous MLTT livestreams. Hypercarbon is inner so maybe he wanted something like SALC/Krypto Carbon but stiffer than W986
