  1. World Cup 2024

    Sometimes it seems to me that zeio is not a real person, but a chat bot. Well, or sometimes a person, sometimes a chat bot, because he spends so much time searching, reading forums and not only forums, selecting links, composing and resending messages, as well as the ability to store in memory...
  2. Hello from Norway

    @ToH, I added it to myself in the previous post, read it. In any case, if you feel slow over time because you will train a lot and your level of play will rise, you can use a booster, which has a good effect on this rubber. But in any case, you essentially have nothing to lose, since it is cheap.
  3. Need advice which rubber to use for forehand and backhand

    I played Jan Ove Gold and Silver probably 10 years ago, maybe even more. As far as I remember, over time this rubber had very bad grip on the ball. For your blade with an outer layer of limba, I recommend you Nittaku Fastarc G1 for backhand. This will be two steps forward.
  4. DHS H3 vs Yasaka Rakza Z

    Changes occur in fact and not in my mind, since the rubber, the edges of which I cut off after the boost, becomes smaller over time.
  5. Hello from Norway

    I often buy chinese rubbers on Aliexpress because it is cheaper than buying from a local seller in my country. I haven't had any problems with this for a long time. The rubbers are mostly fresh and of good quality, no worse than those from a local seller. I haven't tried Hurricane 8. You can...
  6. DHS H3 vs Yasaka Rakza Z

    I also successfully play the forehand only with sticky chinese rubbers J2, J3, N-80, H3 plus a booster, and with N-80 also baby oil. But there is a nuance. This is a change in the properties of rubber under the booster over time. When you play regularly, this is not a problem, because in a short...
  7. How to clean / restore used blade

    There are no trifles, everything is important.
  8. DHS H3 vs Yasaka Rakza Z

    The Rakza Z was also not suitable for me on the forehand due to the high release angle and the speed limit on strong shots. In addition, it is very soft for the forehand. Also, the RZ was not suitable for the backhand due to the lack of speed compared to the rubbers I was used to - Vega Pro...
  9. How to clean / restore used blade

    For me this weight is critical. I play rackets with a total weight of 186-189 grams. More than 190 grams is unacceptable for me. A light blade of 80+ grams, even with a high frequency, does not have power for my taste, the optimum is 86-89 grams plus two rubbers with an average of 50 grams each...
  10. How to clean / restore used blade

    Yes, this is an option, but not everyone likes the tape, and it also adds weight. Heat-shrinkable tubes are especially heavy, weighing up to 4-6 grams.
  11. How to clean / restore used blade

    This works very well on the blade, where you want to remove old glue without ruining the surface. The handle itself becomes soaked with sweat and therefore it is better to wash the handle with soap and water.
  12. How to clean / restore used blade

    Just wash the handle with warm water, soap and a sponge and then dry the racket thoroughly. Soap washes away sweat and dirt from hands well. You can sand with sandpaper only very carefully and not get carried away with this, so as not to remove excess and make the handle too thin.
  13. Hello from Norway

    Hurricane is most likely not worth taking. It is better to approach the Hurricane from the Eurotensors through Jupiter 3.
  14. Hello from Norway

    Hello from Ukraine, @ToH! My advice to you is to play with such equipment as you would like to hit harder and at the same time you are not afraid of missing the table. And it will be a pretty slow setup. Because if you take too fast equipment, then you will begin to shorten your movement...
  15. Is any current top player better than prime Ma Long (2015-2017)?

    Let's take a period early in Ma Long's career and look at his backhand. How can he play a modern 40+ ball with such a backhand? But the fact is that every normal athlete adapts and changes his technique to fit his equipment over time. Also, let's look at the forehand of modern young Chinese...
  16. Is any current top player better than prime Ma Long (2015-2017)?

    Look how Zhang broke the sides with his feet, undressed and threw his T-shirt into the hall after defeating Ma Long. And this was not an isolated incident. Is this the behavior of an exemplary athlete of the Chinese national team? Will such behavior, which millions of young Chinese will look up...
  17. Is any current top player better than prime Ma Long (2015-2017)?

    Who better than you should know what missing training means for an athlete.
  18. Is any current top player better than prime Ma Long (2015-2017)?

    To compare a weak forehand with the forehand of ZJK, you can watch the previous match Timo Bol - Joo Se Huyk. Everything is relative.
  19. Is any current top player better than prime Ma Long (2015-2017)?

    ZJK then beat the world's strongest defender YSH, who was also in excellent shape at the time, solely due to his forehand.
  20. Is any current top player better than prime Ma Long (2015-2017)?

    You wrote about this yourself. Not about the material of the ball, but about its size. And now you link to the material? I started playing with a 38 mm ball, then I played with a 40 mm celluloid ball, then there were many types of plastics and they were all different, so I understand what we are...
