  1. Perceived hardness of 39 degree Chinese rubbers

    As for Jupiters from Yinhe, for me the optimal hardness is exactly 39 degrees. 38 degrees is softer and slower. 40 degrees is harder and at the same time non-linear, that is, slower on slow strokes, faster on fast strokes, besides this is a less versatile rubber - it does not combine with all my...
  2. Slow blade with fast rubbers vs. Fast blade with slow rubbers

    It all depends on the level of your game and the level of play of your opponents. At the initial stage, the speeds and spins of the ball are mostly not high, so a hard blade is not needed to block fast balls, while it is very important to learn the correct technique and have maximum ball feel...
  3. Nittaku hurricane 3 PRO turbo ?

    2*65+90=220 grams, which is actually a lot, well at least for me

    I played Vega Pro on the backhand for a long time and I can say that this rubber plays well on a slow flexible blade that has a time delay, such as Primorac of minus or something like that. On a carbon blade it is very fast for me, the rubber feels stiffer than usual, there is not enough dwell...

    Then you should definitely try this blade and share your feelings with us.;)
  6. Nittaku hurricane 3 PRO turbo ?

    Personally, I have never seen more than 60 grams of cut rubber.
  7. Life, Existence, and the Meaning of Long Pips - The Opus Maximus of James Z

    It is desirable to round the upper corners as they will interfere in a short game over the table. I wonder what the total weight of this racket is. I think it's very hard, probably far beyond 200 grams and therefore traumatic
  8. Equipment you want Dan and Tom to review?

    Try Jupiter 3 with two layers of seamoon, it's a completely different matter.
  9. using a razor blade to cut the rubber

    I have been cutting with this blade for many years and I have no problems with cutting my hands and fingers, but the quality of the cut is excellent. I hold the blade in my hand a little differently than in the video. It happens recently that I cut off the overlay with a very thin clerical...
  10. Longevity of Hybrid rubbers

    I have an old red Jupiter 2 that is 3 years old, maybe even older. I played forehand with him, though not only with him, because I always have 3-5 rackets in my bag :-). I have it on a pimpled blade, which I sometimes play with when I get very tired or against weak opponents. So this Jupiter...
  11. Longevity of Hybrid rubbers

    I have a friend in the club who only plays Dignix 80 on both sides. He recently got himself a new black tire and the red one has been around for about a year. I tried his racket and to be honest the red rubber is not much worse than the new black one. So after a workout, he always wipes it with...
  12. Palio TCT or Yinhe T4s?

    I have a Palio TST. It is very difficult to play with a factory blade - too hard, fast and without control. It blocks great, but everything about the short game and spins is a pain. We redesigned this blade to add dwell time, slow down a bit and soften. The top veneer was removed, the maximum...
  13. Longevity of Hybrid rubbers

    Seamun to you at the embassy
  14. Longevity of Hybrid rubbers

    I let you know - Jupiter 2 obviously works longer, I think that Jupiter 3 also, since the topsheet looks the same. But to be honest, it's not a hybrid in its purest form, it's closer to a hurricane, which is also incredibly durable.
  15. The Chinese Domination of Table Tennis!!!

    Once upon a time, my former table tennis coach answered my question about the dominance of Chinese players in the following way - the best athletes are at the top of the pyramid, the larger the base of the pyramid, the higher it is. The base of the pyramid is made up of all players, including...
  16. New Blade - time to get familiar with?

    I have two almost identical homemade blades that my father made for me, but they are different in the game. They are made from the same batch of veneer, carbon and glue, but with a break of two weeks and with one seemingly very small difference - on one blade, 0.1 mm was sanded from each side of...
  17. World Table Tennis Championships 2023

    On the eve of Anders Lind's match in the quarterfinals, I decided to watch his games and came across this video, which I just couldn't help but share with you
  18. World Table Tennis Championships 2023

    Lind surprised me, great game near the table! For some reason I was smiling while watching the whole match. After today's night and day rocket attacks on my city, this was my first smile.
  19. World Table Tennis Championships 2023

    Our Hanna had a good match with Manu from China
  20. World Table Tennis Championships 2023

    For comparison, you can watch the match between Aruna and Ionescu in this championship, where Aruna behaved like a real honest athlete and a man with a capital letter. Although there was a clear hit on the side of the table, he wanted a fair game and a fair win, and this cannot be overlooked.
