Great review! I too have now switched to an internally reinforced blade after several years of playing with outer carbon blades like Viscaria. I like it much better now, although I tried internal carbon before and was not impressed. Perhaps these changes are related to the ball we are playing...

Once upon a time I was also interested in playing with a Hinoki blade without spending a lot of money. I purchased a Yinhe blade and didn't like it. I have a suspicion that the outer layer of veneer was not hinoki, but a related cypress, which has different characteristics.

Hi! For me, the main problem with a booster is not the ability to apply an even layer and not the complexity of the procedure or time, not at all. The main problem is the change in rubber properties over time. You never know whether in three days or a week the rubber will perform the same as...

Hi! The N-80 with a booster is definitely faster than the commercial old version of the Hurricane 3 with a booster. I tried the national version of Hurricane 3 for 5 minutes without a booster and it seemed to me that Loki N-80 with a booster was also faster. The main difference is not even the...

Hi all. I’ll add my review on Loki N-80. Two weeks after boosting and without re-gluing, I was not very comfortable playing with this rubber - less control due to the short time of contact with the ball, while the speed and rotation were quite enough. I took off the rubber, smeared one thin...

Hi all! A few words about Loki N 80 rubber. I don't know what happened, but this rubber started playing! Previously, several attempts to play with this rubber ended in failure. I tried playing without a booster and with a booster on different blades, but I didn't get any results - the ball came...

Hi, I also ordered Moon 12 Blue (medium hard) this weekend. I really liked the regular Moon back in the day and was very disappointed with the next generation Moon Speed for the 40+ ball. And judging by your guys’ reviews, these rubber are more like the first Moon, and besides, it have a great...

Every person has bad days when everything goes wrong. Surprisingly, professional table tennis players are also people...

A hard case in my opinion is much more important for balls, because I used to have a new ball that was pressed down in a bag with something and became a little egg-shaped :) Therefore, I recommend everyone to wear balls in a case. By the way, excellent ball cases are obtained from a tube for...

If you are looking for pure speed and rigidity with a standard thickness of up to 6 mm, then this is the Palio TCT Titan Carbon. At least it's the fastest standard thickness blade I've tried. The increased rigidity of this blade is made up of a metal mesh - titanium and rather thick layers of...

I played Vega Pro for a very long time and I also had one Vega Asia rubber. Vega Asia has exactly the same sponge as Vega Pro and topsheet of similar quality, but it has much fewer spikes on the topsheet!!!, due to which it is lighter in the first place, secondly it feels much softer and has a...

In my humble opinion, everything here depends on the length of the players' movements. Accordingly, there are blades for long movements, which include most of the five-layer solid wood blades and blades with an internal layer of reinforcement, which are close to them. And there are blades for...

The sponge was red, the topsheet was black and matte. From the very beginning, when the rubber were brand new, I lacked grip on the ball. I was disappointed with Moon Speed right away, although the red sponge, its speed and weight showed great promise, everything was ruined by a disgusting topsheet

Hello, I've been playing Vega Pro for quite some time, but now I've given it up. This rubber felt great on five ply solid wood blades. On carbon blades it was too fast for my game. Now I play Fastarc G1 on a faster and harder blade. It's slower, more controllable and has a lot more spin. At the...

Have you used a booster?

I tried it and was very disappointed with it. Before that, I played the backhand with an ordinary moon for a long time and I liked it until the ball changed. Moon speed came out as an update to Moon under a new ball, but it's a completely different rubber. I did not like the topsheet, it is...

Big Dipper is a great rubber, but in my opinion it's still more about forehand. I tried a combination of Jupiter 3 39 forehand and Big Dipper 38 backhand and I didn't like it - no control. Perhaps these rubbers do not match and you need to try a different combination. At the same time, Big...

G1 really has a very durable and wear-resistant topsheet. I can judge this, among other things, by the print of the index finger - on the G1 it is practically absent, unlike many other rubbers, where this matte spot stands out strongly.

It's very simple - you grow up or you're getting old ;)

Well, it will be later and it will be a completely different story. :) In fact, frankly bad rubber, which I would buy new, I have not yet met. It may or may not suit my style of play. If it doesn’t fit, then I always have the option of finding a person who will suit it more than me, or in the...
