  1. Update equipment?

    Yep. Rakza 7 is a do-it-all rubber, or try Chinese rubbers like Yinhe Big Dipper, DHS Hurricane 3 NEO or 729 Battle Max Pro on FH if you work really hard, brush a lot, and put a Rakza 7 on the BH.
  2. What is the difference between all the versions of Sanwei Target?

    I had a rough time with Target National. It felt too hard, stiff and heavy for me to generate any spin like H3N or similar rubbers. Target 90 is a semi tacky 39deg sponge rubber, more controllable and not that fast or very spinny. Easier to play with than H3N. Target Europe 40+ and the FX...
  3. What table tennis rubbers & blade do you use?

    Check out Pimplepark EPOS, Yinhe Big Dipper or 729 Presto MAX Spin for BH
  4. Returned to TT. Advice on Stiga please

    Great. Looks really nice :)
  5. New Sanwei rubber - first look

    I have tried all three versions 37, 38 & 39. I felt that the 39 was quite fast, and the 37 & 38 wasn't so different to each other. I think you could try the 37 without having problems to adjust, but to be sure, just keep your 38 if you really like it. :)
  6. Who has tried Loki N80?

    Thank you. Is it a Prius? :) I've played a lot with H3N, BD and Skyline TG2 NEO on exactly the same blade. For a while the TG2N suited me better than H3N because it was a tiny bit slower and had similar spin potential. When playing on harder floors, like wood my loops tended to go long with the...
  7. Who has tried Loki N80?

    Well. I think it very much depend on how you hit you topspin loops, and how your blade works with the rubber, angles, force etc. I believe that there are millions of different values of parameters to be calculated, depending on how exactly a certain blade combined with a certain rubber/sponge is...
  8. Who has tried Loki N80?

    To me the T3 was a stiffer, faster, quite grippy rubber that didn't fit my forehand. I couldn't generate very high spin in my loops, but for backhand, fast blocking game it would work nicely. The N80 and GTX isn't the same at all. The N80 is more like H3N and Big Dipper while GTX is a bouncier...
  9. Who has tried Loki N80?

    Well. It's so individual between players, so I think you have to buy one and try for yourself to really be sure.
  10. Who has tried Loki N80?

    No sorry, I'm not that advanced, but I'm quite average, playing in a mid-division series in Sweden. The biggest question, I think, is how you use the rubber and on what kind of blade you have glued it. I can say that i don't usually do "average" shots. Most players, even using long pips, usually...
  11. Who has tried Loki N80?

    YES, I tried the Loki N 80 and they are................................ quite nice. Somewhere in between H3N 39deg and Big Dipper 38deg. :)
  12. Who has tried Loki N80?

    Perhaps. I have to play a bit more with it to see if it breaks in, and comes alive....
  13. Who has tried Loki N80?

    Yes, similar.
  14. Who has tried Loki N80?

    I felt that the Battle Max was a bit harder, lower throw, tackier and a bit harder to generate spin on brush strokes...
  15. Who has tried Loki N80?

    Hi. I've answered Kuba Hajtos reply and linked a small video of Battle Max Pro picking up a ball in my basement. It's not totally untacky ;)
  16. Who has tried Loki N80?

    As you have used Moon Pro Medium, I think you should go for Big Dipper 38 or 39 deg. They are closer to Moon Pro medium.
  17. Who has tried Loki N80?

    Nope. I thought so because of the Battle top sheet, but they are allowed to treat it differently under the terms of ITTF. That's what they told me anyway. :) This is a Battle Max 41 deg picking up my ball :) https://fb.watch/cxhFBeo3LO/
  18. Who has tried Loki N80?

    I tried the Moon Pro Medium once and found it very slow compared to the Hard version. Two very different sponges is what I discovered. The Medium didn't dome at all, but the Hard domed and felt so much more lively. I've recently tried Battle Max Pro 41deg, and it's quite comparable to H3N...
  19. Who has tried Loki N80?

    But the Prius is faster, right......? Just kidding :) This is such an individual sport. No one plays in the same way as another, but I almost always brush the ball, and I like to play with harder sponges like the 41 deg, so of course, the harder I brush, the more I benefit from a harder sponge...
  20. Who has tried Loki N80?

    Well :) When brush looping, quite hard, this is the feeling i get. H3N gives me better speed and it responds more direct to hard brush strokes than the BD which is a bit softer, even if it's bouncier. The bounciness of the BD isn't helping when brushing hard. It just don't respond as direct as...
