You ever thought of trying out the Loki Arthur China? Ive been toying with a sheet and it's fast with really good spin. I'm not sure how hard it is but it feels finer than my ESN 47.5 rubbers, but not quite as hard as the 50 degree ones

I believe it is eks-eeom (x-iom)

US domestic pricing for Rozena is $40, I don't see how that is a "Butterfly premium" when you are getting a rubber that has better QC than Chinese manufacturers and better longevity than most ESN rubbers. TT11 allows you to purchase rubbers at ridiculously good prices, but looking strictly at...

Opaque, like solid, non-seethrough

From your photo the topsheet color looks quite opaque!

Nothing else can replace what the spicy chemicals in speedglue could do to a rubber

I hope you're aware that you are replying to a comment made like 5 years ago. Also I don't think the Quantum X series is very beginner friendly, they are pretty fast. But the combo is indeed a good deal

The ripples are most likely from the glue and booster.

Baracuda is quite old but I think there's a good reason it's stuck around, and they even have it in blue from some stores.

Its been a while since I used Vega Pro so I don't think I can compare, my most recent ones have been Vega X and Vega Japan. Vega X is in the same ballpark as R7, a bit springier, better spin potential with R7 for me, but I think R7 is more forgiving. VJ is softer, spins easier than R7, but I...

G1 is more powerful, but I got the feeling that it is a bit easier to spin with R7.

Ralza 7 is certainly one of the table tennis rubbers of all time.

It might be the QC but I tried both AK47 Yellow and Red and I thought the Red was a considerably better rubber than Yellow. My sheet of Yellow felt mushy and vague with inconsistent grip, but the Red had a very stable and direct feeling (if a bit muffled vs some other higher end rubbers) and a...

The blade I tried it on was more flexible than the one I use, but the rubber felt like it had a pretty high throw.

Most modern hybrids sound like they fit the bill. Only one I've tried has been Nittaku Sieger PK50 but it plays pretty well and has me wanting to try others, mainly Golden Tango and Gewo Codexx.

I've found the same thing in practice, but in a match setting I feel like I more often get less opportunity to use the extra quality afforded by a harder rubber on my bh. I generally prefer to open with the backhand as people are more comfortable pushing to that side and for that I experience...

Clean it really aggressively, then beat it up with several sessions. If it stays tacky then it stays tacky, and if it's not bouncy enough for you then you should boost it, but I'd wait until you have worn it in a little bit

"Don't screw up" seems reductive and negative and it seems to be a mindset that is strongly psyching you out from making productive decisions in your games. Maybe try taking in your situation at face value and just focus on trying to play your own game as well as you can

Look at 1.5 to 1.8 sponge Victas Spectol S1, RITC 802 for a control style Yinhe Pluto, Nittaku Express for a bit of funk/deadball action Moristo SP, Victas VO>102 for rubbers that play more like smooth than the previously listed

I havent found issues with the handle hitting my arm, rather the striking surface (especially for rpb) is reduced Because Chinese blades are usually noticeably larger than shakehand blades.
