Xiom is a bit crazy... There are Tau 2 (https://equipment.ittf.com/#/equipment_preview/racket_coverings/3105) and Tau 3 (https://equipment.ittf.com/#/equipment_preview/racket_coverings/3627) which are made in Germany. And now there are three other Taus: Tau 55.5 Soft...

A nicer looking koto surface. Usually indicating that the wood was quarter sawn 1) but also shows afaik the tiny density and hardness variations 1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter_sawing "Quarter-sawn boards have greater stability of form and size with less cupping (compared to flatsawn...

There's a longer video from Sony on Project ACE:

Everything already said or just a lot of training ;)

1. I've not played or tested all of these blades... 2. It depends on so many things... As @jonol already said: head size, balance with rubbers but also handle shape 1) and of course feedback from the blade. I like the (more) precise feedback from outer carbon blades and I also prefer the...

It also depends on the carbon used, the thickness and selection of the wood plies, how these are glued and so on. If we look at the data from TTGearLab than an Ovtcharov InnerForce ALC at 88g is as fast as a Viscaria at 87.1g (base speed) but when hitting hard the Ovtcharov will hold the ball...

Battle 3 38 but this not only feels harder than H3N 37. More hybrid like with a softer topsheet: Loki Rxton 7 37 or 38 (standard only 37 red, the slightly more expensive national is also available in 38° up to 41° in red). H3N 37: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005005471793407.html (2.1 mm and...

https://aliexpress.com/item/1005009239802728.html Standard: red only 37°, black 39° and 40° National: red and black with 37, 38, 39, 40 and 41

Maybe ask e.g. @SDC https://www.sdcttblades.com/ or @Wakkibatty https://www.wakkibat.com/ for a fully custom blade or custom order from Nexy https://www.nexy.com/doc/ket_frature.php VS Unlimited and MK Carbon behave and feel very differently...

Blue sponge always has a black topsheet. The red, translucent H3 topsheet combined with the blue sponge would be too dark and is therefore not approved and not usable in official league matches and tournaments. Liang Jingkun used blue sponge on BH for a while too...

I tried to find prices in China... DHS' store/tmall seems to block every request/requires to login. If anyone has access to dhsyundong.world.tmall.com it would be interesting to see their (official) prices Someone else had this idea a couple of days back and asked on Reddit What I could find...

Could you name the Aliexpress shop you bought from? The provincial H3N BS I got from Global Sports Store https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1102587734 (payed around 38€ each incl. taxes and shipping) all had a slight dome fresh from the package and played (still play) as they should. Sponge is a...

Sometimes it's fun to look who was caught https://equipment.ittf.com/#/equipment/racket_control_infractions Currently the only player with three infractions (four in four years = one year suspension) is... Alexis Lebrun

Still just preorder but either with normal head shape or Cybershape https://www.dku51.com/goods-5114.html

I don't think my Spanish is good enough to answer in Spanish IMO Patrick Hrdlicka did the most comprehensive comparison of these rubbers for TT11 https://blog.tabletennis11.com/nittaku-hurricane-pro-3-turbo-orange-review https://blog.tabletennis11.com/nittakuhurricane-pro-3-turbo-blue...

Light ESN (everything made in Germany) rubbers: not many with that sponge hardness. Victas V>11 is one of the exceptions with less than 45g cut but less durable (30 to 40 hours for the sponge) than Vega Pro or FastArc G-1. In practice this means that one either has to boost after a while to...

You're lucky... I looked that up recently because I wanted to know if Yasaka uses J.T.T.A.A. or something else https://jtta.or.jp/official-products / https://jtta.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/29160732/250717-engraved-mark-N.pdf It seems that Kokutaku just uses...

I don't know if this refers to the Kokutaku blade shown but there a two companies with this name. One from China and one from Japan. Btw my Cornilleau Hinotec (hinoki outer ply) also had such an issue. None of the several 729 Z-1 (limba outer ply) but a Fextra and one of my TSP Swats (the newer...

@doppelmoral Is your B3 slower in all gears or just when using full power? It should be faster up to a certain point but it needs a thicker contact. Less than most/all(?) ESN hybrid rubbers but still more than a H3 to get the most out of it. That's the reason why I'm not using it (or any hybrid)...

Some nice, affordable blades from Yasaka. Not much to find online about these blades. What I've found so far: Hunter Speed: outer carbon, possibly 5.8 mm, koto, some fiber/carbon, ayous, kiri, ayous, some fiber/carbon, koto Hunter Power: inner carbon, possibly 5.8 mm, limba, ayous, some...
