No, had this with all my B3s and also with a B2 Soft. Some factory stuff on the sponge that should go away when removing the glue. Next gluejob should be fine.

Li Ning (DHS) do have some older models on sale https://lining-sport.eu/tischtennis/tischtennisschuhe/?order=sort_akt&p=1 Sanwei/Speed Art seem to be good https://sanweisport.com/en/product-category/accessories/table-tennis-shoes/ and...

I can't remember if I ever had a H3N without ripples/grooves on the sponge but I've never had national versions. Just two provincials. The left was the one I tried unboosted (they look bluer, don't know what my phone's camera does when zooming)

Glayzer 09C: - first sheet, 2.1 mm red, 99g incl. package, 74g with Bty foil on, 43g to 44g cut and glued. - second sheet, 2.1 mm red, 100g incl. packaging, 75g with Bty foil on, 44g First sheet by chance because Butterfly charges 5€ if one requests a specific weight when ordering online...

Nittaku distributes DHS in Japan and sells "regular" H3Ns which can be less expensive than the ones from DHS. NR-8701: H3N Orange Sponge, no corners cut, different printing on the sponge. IMO quality at least like provincial NR-8734: H3N Blue Sponge, national. They also did a short video...

What DHS says: "Handbook of DHS T.T. Products" (translations by Google Translate) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xss4XdArxyhyyifUyy3y2tzR3AC6zGlT "The No. 20 sponge, developed by DHS in 2000, closely inherits the design of the No. 22 sponge. Its control is enhanced primarily through the...

Depending on preferences, playstyle, and the amount of training/coaching you can get there a enough options even on a tight budget: Blades: - Yinhe V14 Pro, holds the ball deeper than a Viscaria 1) would start with a blade between 87g and 90g. Mine came factory sealed. - Yinhe Pro 01 afair...

Schöler&Micke should know the composition. They are Andro :) https://www.andro.de/en/impressum Btw: Schöler&Micke/Andro, Butterfly Europe and Li-Ning/DHS Europe are located not that far (30 km to 70 km) from Düsseldorf @Metaxa was quicker to answer

From TTGearLab's data we can infer further relations between the blades regarding speed and feeling https://ttgearlab.com/2024/03/15/performance-indices-db-5-ply-wood-blades-incl-36-ply-wood/ Korbel 88.7g is slower than a Xiom Offensive S with 85.6g and has a deeper hold when hitting hard and...

That didn't go well... Someone managed to step on my Telson Speed (new version i.e. koto, fiber, ayous, kiri instead of koto, fiber, limba, kiri) and I decided to take it a step further and look what's inside: nothing is hollowed out. Top ply with fibers needs more effort to separate than other...

If possible I would try some blades from your club mates or at a local store etc. to see how they fit. Not only performance-wise but especially how they fit in your hand. Is it easy and fast to switch between forehand and backhand (if the grip changes), anything annoying when executing flicks...

Wow! Will it be possible to just watch the tournament on Sunday? 2026/2027 season starts on September 5. (Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria two weeks later).

I wasn't always in that "school" ;) Although the last blades that I used with 38 mm balls and speed glue were heavy Persson Powerplays with tacky rubbers on FH ;) When I started to play again some years ago I used a Tibhar Lebesson, tried my Powerplays again and also lot of other blades (and...

Never heard of this company from Korea before just read the test on TTGearLab (great review as always!). https://ttgearlab.com/2026/01/28/xilla-legato-centerforce-series-lab-test-report/ Outer version seems to be comparable to the DHS TG506A with even deeper hold (Ec/Ep) and with an unusual...

Stiga AC (and Donic Applegren Allplay)? These were considered to be on the slower side when we had 38 mm celluloid balls. Today I would start with something like Yasaka Sweden Extra or Primorac but around 85g otherwise especially the Primorac vibrates way to much for my liking. Technically not...

As ShakehandJpenCpenEnjoyer already said: the gap in performance is by far not that big as the price difference might suggest. E,g, Viscaria is 170€ over here whereas a Loki Telson Speed or Yinhe V14 Pro costs around 33€. Telson Speed and V14 Pro come factory sealed and are well made. Other...

Carbon blades: Loki Telson Speed (new version, Viscaria structure) Loki Telson China (HL5(x) structure) but also the other Telson blades 1) 729 Blue Advance/Blue AD (feels like Super ALC when compared to Telson Speed or 729 Blue Arylate). 729 Yellow Arylate (HL5 structure) 729 Yellow...

Did the rubbers had a significant dome 1) after the second layer? If not than you probably applied really thin layers of boosters. That's not bad at all and for sure not overboosted. Just play with them for a while and decide if you like the feeling or if the effect is not strong enough...

For the Non-Neo I would say that this is normal. Neo with the factory glue layer still on should take longer. Did you put a second booster layer on? If so than that layer should take much longer to be fully absorbed and the sponge feels dry again. Weeks to months. Depends on the booster...

I only had the Taichi 37/39 not the 39/37 because I thought that it would be a better fit for BH. It is a bit slow below a certain say threshold (its not an abrupt change). Above that one can feel that the rubber has more power than a normal 37 rubber. Easy to play with a medium/medium low (not...
