  1. Blade Replacement - Carbon or All Wood ?

    Really good to hear that you found a suiting setup for you. Regarding a little softer Rakza 7, check out the Rakza 7 Soft or one of the Andro Hexer Grip/PowerGrip series. They are really nice, spinny and controlled rubbers in various sponge hardnesses and thicknesses. A budget version of these...
  2. Loki Rubbers

    Not certain, but it feels like 39/40 compared to DHS H3N sponges. Rxton III is similar, but with a slightly softer sponge, a little less spin perhaps. The Rxton III worked better for me on my forehand.
  3. Why does this happen when gluing?

    It sounds like you're using too small amount of glue, or perhaps the glue is a bit old, drying up directly? I had problems with Stigas Attach Power Glue that had not been used for some months, and not too much left in the package. That didn't go so well. Now I'm using Revolution No 3 Normal...
  4. Hard vs Soft rubbers

    Yep. Everything comes down to the angle, power, footwork and wrist you put into your strokes. The more you do the job, the more you could benefit from using harder Chinese rubbers. There is probably a better way to explain it... :)
  5. What's the one thing you wish you new when you first started playing table tennis?

    I wish that I knew that patience meant a hundred times more patience than I thought it meant when I was new to the game at 14 years of age, and everyone I played had played the game for 5-7 years. :)
  6. 729

    No sorry, but I'm quite sure of that these are new names of Geospin Tacky = GT and Geospin = GS https://revspin.net/rubber/729-geospin.html https://revspin.net/rubber/729-geospin-tacky.html
  7. Robot for training the basics

    I bought a Newgy Robopong 2055 myself a year ago. It works really good. Mostly I do just forehand or just backhand, and there is a mode for these easy drills as well. And 64 built in drills, and you may alter these with a computer or create your own drills. I was looking at the cheapest...
  8. is baby oil a effective booster?

    Yep. There's some delay in ordering from China since Covid outbreak, and I guess they have som stock left. And we're talking about half a year or more delay sometimes. I got this directly from their overseas sales department, because I wondered if what I heard was true about EU regulations etc.
  9. is baby oil a effective booster?

    I heard from DHS that this wasn't the thing. This was some kind of marketing strategy for overseas market, and as from late 2020 they have started to use figures like 39, 40 and 41 instead of soft, medium and hard for this market as well.
  10. My newly bought racket is too fast, what can I do?

    I think that the AK47 Red could be a bit bouncy for a beginner, but it takes time to adjust to new equipment. If you play the way you say with full elbow extension, swinging fast with much power I see that the AK47 Red makes the balls fly too long. Work on your touch, and don't swing like crazy...
  11. is baby oil a effective booster?

    Thanx :) I just wonder if I'm allowed to glue the rubber to the blade then? :D It's a kind of treatment as well, and if it gets dirty, could I even clean it? After all it's only the top sheet being approved by the ITTF, right? Well. I'm not a top player in any way, so I don't really care so...
  12. H3 Neo National/Provincial/Commercial Differences

    Sure. But it's hard to compare a boosted H3 with a Tenergy. You play in a different way with these two rubbers. I can't play any good with a bouncy Tenergy, and the brush looping game isn't working at all. The best I found for my play is a boosted H3 41deg.
  13. is baby oil a effective booster?

    What I have experienced with Haifu Seamoon Booster and boosting DHS H3 41deg, Yinhe Big Dipper 38/39deg and DHS H8-80 38deg is that you, with harder sponges get a more "alive" rubber. The H8-80 is a softer rubber, so the effect isn't so big there. I guess the effect is better with harder...
  14. Blade Replacement - Carbon or All Wood ?

    I play with Chinese blades and rubbers, and a setup that works good for me is a faster blade with not that much vibration, like the Yinhe V14 PRO, DHS Power G9 or DHS Power G5X. There are so many "carbon" variants nowadays, and these ones (V14 PRO/Power G5X) got quite good feel. DHS Power G9 is...
  15. Sanwei m8 junior…?

    Yep. I know, but Sanwei doesn't produce them any more.
  16. Sanwei m8 junior…?

    Hi. The M8 is discontinued. They have this one instead now. The handle is thinner to fit young players better. :) https://sanweisport.com/english/product/blade/training-blades/accumulator-s/
  17. best yinhe blade

    The Yinhe MC-4 is a nice carbon blade which isn't so fast. Perhaps OFF- somewhere.
  18. Gluing rubbers when glue is still wet?

    Well. It was like normal rubber removal. The glue was dried and fine :)
  19. Gluing rubbers when glue is still wet?

    After all, the wood can not be damaged as there will already be a dry layer of glue there to protect itSmart :)
  20. Gluing rubbers when glue is still wet?

    I'm not so familiar with glueing OX pips rubbers, and the few times i tried I just didn't manage to get it perfect. Now I thought that I'd try to glue it when the glue still is wet, and it worked fine. I used the Revolution No3 Normal viscosity (thinnest version) on the blade and as quick as...
