Looks like an Aliexpress seller made a personal store. The store address is still in China and I'm pretty sure the store name Chinese PingPong sold on Aliexpress, just can't be bothered to find it rn. My question is would it make that big of a difference to you to just buy off of a reputable...

I tried Pro H and I struggled to use it on bh for that reason. Great on my fh, but on my bh side the change in behavior when using topsheet vs activating the sponge was rather unmanageable for me, I felt like Pro M was better on my bh because the softer sponge felt easier activate

You say you have never used G1, based on your above comment I don't think you have used Hurricane either, you can't just regurgitate everything you read on the internet and expect it to be accurate.

Just a different type of sponge. Mystery 3 sponge is a bit more dynamic than the Cross type sponge on the regular version

I think twiddling jpen with modern style frictionless antispin on the reverse side could be more effective than with lp because of the insane dampening properties of these modern antispin rubbers providing a large contrast to an attacking smooth rubber on the other side.

Depends on what kind of rubber you want. 802 is a classic style short pips with lower trajectory and less grip, less sensitive to spin and can scrub spin off the ball easier but it also has a lower trajectory and requires stricter blade angle and timing to land your shots. 802-40 is more modern...

Jpen scoffs at noob level blades like Golden Viscaria. They have blades like Gmax, Dynam, Speed 90 😂

I mean look at Kaii Konishi (formerly Yoshida). Hes still competing on a world class level. Might not be wr100 material anymore but he is definitely still very competitive.

Very different rubbers, not sure as to why you are cross shopping these two as they were built for quite different purposes. FXS is soft and bouncy, typical soft Euro style rubber. G09C is a mild hybrid with an emphasis on linearity and control. FXS is much faster and a lot bouncier and more...

No, flp were banned in like 2007? 08? Dtecs was nerfed in the early 10s, pre poly ball I'm pretty sure

Its not slow but its definitely more along the lines of Innerforce Layer ALC/Harimoto characteristics than it is Viscaria. Though ymmv

Yea

I've got one, 89g. Its essentially just a chilled out take on the Viscaria formula. I think it strikes a good balance between the softer and deep feeling of limba/inner ALC blades like Harimoto ALC and IFLALC, and the crisp directness of an outer ALC like Viscaria

New jerseys were on sale at the in-person kiosk, at least when they came to Portland. Maybe they are event-exclusive until S2 is over

Depends on the glue used as well. Finezip and No.15 give the best feeling when layered up, and in my experience so far, more watery glues do not feel as good when I use thick or multiple layers. Finezip and No.15 give a softer and bouncier feeling than other glues for me. But thinner layers of...

I think the biggest ST handle I ever used was the Gewo Zoom Pro. Larger than my SPWs. Its too bad they don't make the Stiga Peter style straight handle, larger than the current Classic style straight handle and more comfy for me. I think the largest flared handle I ever saw was the Stiga Alser...

I think your friend is on the right track, sticky rubbers are really good for pushing.

I never used a legit frictionless LP but pre-nerf Grass DTecS went crazy

I don't worry about fakes when buying from Aliexpress because I trust that the seller ratings system is accurate, and I will only buy from the gold metal awarded stores. I trust the highly reputable stores on Ali as much as I do largescale retailers like Paddlepalace, TT11

If you are getting smashed at, chances are you did something wrong that allowed your opponent the opportunity to smash. Smash is a high risk high reward shot meant to try and end points as early as possible and unless you win the lottery standing at the table or are in the right position backing...
