  1. Sanwei Target 90 and Target 40+ Turbo Pro

    Today I tried these 2 rubbers, both unboosted. I feel that both rubbers are asking for booster, but apart from that they were both quite impressive. Target 90 is semi-tacky, but the grip and topsheet quality just feels excellent. The sponge is H39, standard Chinese style dense sponge. The spin...
  2. Recommend a BH Rubber

    Oh i forgot, but Loki T3 might be a good choice for you as well. Its quite cheap and quite fast
  3. Recommend a BH Rubber

    For me the control is fine. I don't think its too fast.
  4. Recommend a BH Rubber

    I think AK47 red is your best bet. You might want to try Moon Speed 53 as well. Rxton 7 is quite slow. Telson 100 might be worth a try...but I felt it was slower than AK47. Battle 2 is also a slow forehand rubber.
  5. How to stop 3rd ball loop attack?

    I might see him tonight if he shows up. I'm still not really sure what advice to go for. But maybe the most manageable advice is just to try to push hard and long and just hope to out-rally him.
  6. Aliexpress Singles Day 2024

    Wow cool! I'm very curious about J3 Blue sponge
  7. Aliexpress Singles Day 2024

    Has anybody tried the Loki Telson Power blade? I'm thinking to get one on Singles Day. I sold a bunch of blades recently so I'm down to just 4, and I want to keep these 4.
  8. Curious case of Joola ZGR's to ZGX's

    I was curious how Dynaryz ZGR and ZGX react to booster, so I tried boosting them. They had basically no reaction to booster. That's ok, they are still quite good. Actually, Rhyzen ZGX is very interesting rubber. For whatever reason, its quite a bit cheaper than others. It's supposedly part of...
  9. How to stop 3rd ball loop attack?

    No, I felt I had more overall complete game in every department, apart from the service situation. I could never get comfortable with the serve situation. After being down 0-2 in games, I came all the way back and lead 8-5 in the 5th game. But then the serves got to me again and I lost. In...
  10. How do you block a flat fast drive from short pips?

    I think I understand what you are saying. But easier said than done. Somehow it feels unfair. The SP player just blocks or punches a regular shot, not taking any particular risk and the special equipment creates a awkward and difficult shot. On my end, I am forced to take risk by using a...
  11. How to stop 3rd ball loop attack?

    Firstly, his serve is very hard to chiquita for me. It's very low and fast and spinny. And especially when it has underspin on it, it's just not practical. Second, whenever I did for for the flick, he just did the same. He was just waiting there for the 3rd ball and killed it the same.
  12. How to stop 3rd ball loop attack?

    Yeah I've never learned this technique before, and I've never even heard of it before. Do you have a video to show and explain it? But it sounds like with 1) you just mean you are pushing slightly down but also to the left? To be honest, I can't imagine how this would help against this player...
  13. How do you block a flat fast drive from short pips?

    Also, Bh SP punch from penhold player is a lot different from bh SP from a shakehand player. Shakehand player's bh makes more spin, and it feels more normal. Penhold feels flatter, and even with a bit of sidespin. It's very awkward and hard to deal with.
  14. How to stop 3rd ball loop attack?

    1) In theory this makes sense, but its hard for me. When he does his pendulum serve, there is usually some underspin or some topspin. It's never the same perfect serve every time. So when I push, my height is a bit random. Sometimes if I guess there more underspin than in reality, my push will...
  15. San Francisco looking for training partner.

    Well this, and also isn't it accepted fact that Provincial and National are the same rubber, but National has better quality control?
  16. How to stop 3rd ball loop attack?

    Yes i tried, he seemed like he was getting to my push and attacking hard from everywhere like Ma Lin
  17. How to stop 3rd ball loop attack?

    Today I lost a close match to a player with a very strong serve and 3rd ball attack. There was pretty much nothing I could do to prevent his attack, other than defend for dear life. His serve is common pendulum serve, but it is quite wicked. It is fast, low, spinny, and always aimed at my bh...
  18. How do you block a flat fast drive from short pips?

    Today I played a penhold SP puncher. Whenever he punched a shot into my bh, the ball would just fall off my paddle and land on my side of the table or low into the net. There is just no topspin on the flat punches. How do you block this shot? Whenever I tried adjusting my angle more upwards...
  19. Which are the latest generation Hybrid rubbers from ESN?

    I just glued Andro C53 and Dynaryz ZGX onto the same blade. The rubbers seem identical. Same feeling, same bounce, same grip.
