  2. DHS Hurricane 8 Rubber Review

    Updated review with a video of a practice session using H8: http://www.tabletennisdaily.co.uk/equipment/rubbers/7635-hurricane-8
  3. Hurricane 8

    4 out of 5 rating for Hurricane 8 Impressions after several practice session (H8 on FH + Nexy Calix): a) tackiness - it is a mildly tacky rubber, the level of tackiness is nowhere near N3 Neo. Which for me translates into slightly worse short game, and not as much spin on "brushy" serves. But...
  4. Hurricane 8

    Review by 'vvk1' on item 'Hurricane 8'

    Impressions after several practice session (H8 on FH + Nexy Calix): a) tackiness - it is a mildly tacky rubber, the level of tackiness is nowhere near N3 Neo. Which for me translates into slightly worse short game, and not as much spin on "brushy" serves. But still, H8 is much less bouncy than...
  5. Blue Sponge or Orange Sponge

    You cannot really say 'the blue sponge requires more power to hit "through" the rubber', and the immediately follow it with "it's also more elastic than the orange sponge". These statements are contradictory.
  6. new club in north London

    A couple of my friends from the SHAW table tennis league are opening a table tennis academy in Welwyn, North London. Perhaps there are people on this forum who are based nearby and might be interested (or know someone who might be interested). http://www.spinstta.co.uk/
  7. Blue Sponge or Orange Sponge

    It is not "a lot quicker". Regular DHS Neo H3 commercial is perfectly playable on a 5ply allround blade like OSP Expert. One just needs not to be afraid to actually hit the ball. Some people claim that one rubber is faster/spinnier than another by 3-5%. It always makes me wonder how they measure...
  8. Blue Sponge or Orange Sponge

    I have made the mistake of believing the hype and tried both. Don't waster your money. Just get DHS H3 Neo commercial, add one layer of falco, and enjoy. There is no discernible difference between the result and DHS H3 Neo National unless you believe that blue-coloured sponge has magic properties.
  9. DHS Hurricane 8 Rubber Review

    First impressions after one practice session (H8 on FH + Nexy Calix): a) tackiness - it is a mildly tacky rubber, the level of tackiness is nowhere near N3 Neo. Which for me translates into slightly worse short game, and not as much spin on "brushy" serves. But still, H8 is much less bouncy...
  10. Float serving

    Being able to vary levels of spin using identically looking serve motions in such a way that the opponent is unable to correctly judge the amount of spin without hearing the sound of ball contact is the very definition of skill. As far I am aware, there is nothing in ITTF rules that prohibits...
  11. Float serving

    No problem, after all, it is your decision to forfeit the match, not mine.
  12. Stiga Quality Control issue not happy!!!

    A much better CEO's measure is whether he/she is able to ensure that the manufacturing process has a virtually zero incidence of quality control issues, especially for expensive "luxury" products (which Carbonados are supposedly are), and therefore the CEO does not need to *ever* be involved in...
  13. DHS Hurricane 8 Rubber Review

    I got a sheet from tt11 a couple of weeks ago, and still has it in stock. I'll have my first practice session with it tomorrow.
  14. Is Tabletennis11.com trustworthy?

    tt11 is a highly regarded and reputable TT equipment seller, many people on this forum have ordered from them. If you do order from them, you may need to wait longer for your order to be shipped to you all the way to the USA, pass through US customs, etc as compared to ordering from...
  15. Moving forward from old blade, suggestions for upgrade

    There is nothing wrong with your blade or your rubbers if you've just returned to the game after 7+ years of not playing. Just keep practicing, and it'll come back to you. If your Shrivers feel dead and no longer grip the ball well, get yourself something like Xiom Vega Europe in the same...
  16. The bsest looping and attacking rubber?!

    I don't dispute that BFT's top end speed is higher. However, H3 Neo is a rubber that has more gears, and thus allows to produce shots with a far wider variety of speed/spin ratio. It also beats any tensor/tensioned rubber in the short game and serving department. Finally, it produces a different...

    DHS H3 Neo eats BFT for breakfast :-)

    This is a very good book for anyone who wants to learn how the pro players stay calm and confident - "in the zone" - throughout the match.
