  1. Bloom Power:Still Available?

    It's just so individual and depends on how you use the rubber and what kind of blade you use at the time, but I like the Battle rubbers more than Bloom...
  2. Bloom Power:Still Available?

    I feel like the top sheet is more elastic in Battle and the sponges give a more softer feeling, adding control but also give the same kick when brush looping.
  3. Bloom Power:Still Available?

    No sorry. I don't. To me the Bloom and Battle series differs quite a bit though. Sure are the Bloom Power quite close to some Battle rubbers, but Battle/II are rubbers of more potential and performance and so says the pricing as well I guess.
  4. Bloom Power:Still Available?

    I have a small table tennis shop, so I buy from 729 directly.
  5. Bloom Power:Still Available?

    Yes it is. I've ordered it this autumn, so no problems with this one :)
  6. So Battle 3 is on sale

    Well. Now I haven't received them yet, but the info I got was that there are three original technologies adopted. Double cover technology: Which makes the anti oxidation stickiness more durable. The rubber formula is added with graphene reinforcement material, and the rubber toughness and...
  7. So Battle 3 is on sale

    I haven't got any yet, but heard that Battle III is released with a not pre-treated sponge, and that production is planned with a pre-treated sponge later on next year.
  8. "chinese philosophy for equipment" blades: flexibility, stiffness, etc

    I use a Yinhe V14 PRO blade with DHS H3 41deg (FH) and Yinhe Big Dipper 38deg (BH), both boosted a bit. For me, a harder sponge works much better with a stiffer blade, as they interact better together. But I feel that a setup like this don't allow a lot of errors and it's harder to control, so...
  9. Yinhe Jupiter 3 Amazing Rubber

    I played a bit with it a couple of days ago, and it feels more like Big Dipper 2, but a bit faster. It's not giving that good effect in brush looping as H3 or Battle Max Pro does.
  10. Yinhe Jupiter 3 Amazing Rubber

    The short time I tried it, I feel that the J3 40deg is faster and harder than the LAC. LAC is softer, more like a H3N 39deg, but with a boosted feeling. The J3 40deg feels more like a boosted H3 41deg as I'm used to, but with a slightly harder feel and higher speed. Well. To me and my way to...
  11. Yinhe Jupiter 3 Amazing Rubber

    Yes. Don't we all :) I think that these two rubbers (BD & BD2) are quite different anyway. But the BD2 I've only tried in 41deg on my forehand. It was quite good, but not as engaging as the H3, Battle Max Pro rubbers. More hard, stiff and with a lower throw. Maybe the sponge was too hard for me...
  12. Rubber Bumps on playside after glueing and unremovable glue!

    Hi. I might have had the same problem with R42. I know that the R42 sponge is quite brittle and large pored, so I understand your situation when removing the glue. What viscosity did you use? Normal, Medium or High? The "Normal" is more common I guess and more liquid. I think that these kinds of...
  13. Yinhe Jupiter 3 Amazing Rubber

    Just tried the J3 40deg on my Yinhe V14 Pro. I played with the robot for a short while, but it feels quite good. It's nothing like Big Dipper though. It's a fast rubber. I'm used to H3 and Battle Max Pro 41deg, and this was faster and felt a bit harder, and semi tacky/tacky. Unboosted then. And...
  14. Help to find the best rubber

    It depends on how you hit the ball. Big Dipper is bouncier and has a softer feeling. Generally, flatter hits are faster with BD, but when you close the angle and hits harder there are more possibilities for H3 to be faster...
  15. Help to find the best rubber

    Yinhe Big Dipper is a really nice Chinese "near hybrid" rubber. Or if you look at not so tacky rubbers. Sanwei Gear Hyper.
  16. Xiom Tau II

    These are two totally different rubbers and are great in their own way :)
  17. Best rubbers on WCL

    A fast, quite hard, typical blocking rubber is Loki T3.
  18. Allwood blade + Chinese rubber

    You should check out Sanwei V5 PRO. I really like this with harder Chinese rubbers. It's quite close to my Yinhe V14 PRO, but I like the stiffer feeling of the V14 PRO more. The V5 PRO is really fast and got a softer feeling than the V14 PRO.
  19. advice for a blade - low student budget

    The Sanwei Fextra 7 is replaced by Fextra One, but there are still plenty of Fextra 7 out there. A really good wooden blade is Sanwei V5 PRO. Quite fast, but with good feeling. A carbon blade that isn't too fast, and quite cheap is the new Sanwei C&C. A light weight more controllable soft carbon...
