  1. Changing from the Viscaria to the Long 5x

    Really interessting that in this thread so many are saying that HL5 is faster than Viscaria... For me HL5 is slower by several notches. Innerforce style with 2nd layer ayous (as HL5 has) is almost impossible to be quicker than a Koto outerlayer carbon blade (like Viscaria). The reason for Ma...
  2. Under €40 but is it any good? | Xiom Vega X Review

    Always like to watch your clips, Dan, but I also need to say, that previous reviews were a lot more interessting and informative. How about comparisons to other rubbers (you tested so much more than T05, although it is good to have that common fix point). How about arc, catapult, openers, block...

  4. Opinions on Tenergy 05 & Tenergy 80

    These things you mentioned are not superficial, but quite true: 05 has the least speed, but highest arc and spin capability while also being most sensitive to spin. 64 has the lowest arc and spin and sensitivity, but highest speed. 80 is in the middle of all things. I played all of them and...

  6. Dignics 80 Review | 5 Things You Need To Know

    I played Tenergy 05 for years, Dignics 05 on BH since its release and tried Dignics 80 for some sessions now. D80 brings back the T05 dynamics, which most players were missing with D05. Both Dignics are able to produce more spin compared to T05 in my opinion. what I personally experienced with...

  11. Fastarc C-1

    5 out of 5 rating for Fastarc C-1 Very easy to control rubber without any weaknesses, but also without any real strenghts. The Fastarc C1 has got a medium sponge that performs well with an allround offensive playing style. Topspins, even on heavy underspin, are easy to play. Passive blocks and...

    Very easy to control rubber without any weaknesses, but also without any real strenghts. The Fastarc C1 has got a medium sponge that performs well with an allround offensive playing style. Topspins, even on heavy underspin, are easy to play. Passive blocks and counters can be played without...
  13. Top 5 Most Popular Table Tennis Rubbers of All Time

    Mark V, sriver, Tenergy 05 and hurricane 3 are definitely true, but MX-P is nowhere near those 4. It‘s a decent rubber nowadays, but there are so much more from former times, which were much more influencing tabletennis: - barna - Samba - sriver fx - coppa - Bryce

  18. Young Chinese generation more dominant due to plastic ball?

    I think Chinese players have always had more of a straight hitting/ hard topspin style, while europeans more tend to play with rotation and slower strokes. This is also related to the rubbers that are used. With the plastic ball and the lower rotation that can be generated with it, the Chinese...
