  1. Assistance/advice with equipment upgrade (1st custom racket) (Update!)

    Don't worry that happens with iron regularity here on TTD... The diff. between normal H3 and H3 Neo is a scam put simply, I don't want to go to details, easiest is to ignore it... The H3, B2 (Battle 2) you get them only in 2.1 and 2.15, there is no choice of thickness... The hardness matters...
  2. Assistance/advice with equipment upgrade (1st custom racket) (Update!)

    Max is sometimes 2.2 (usually in ESN), sometimes could be 2.3, and in chinese rubbers it is usually only max, which is 2.1 or 2.15. I think you don't need to be afraid of having max also on the BH, however, I think 2.0 is enough on the BH, it is a bit directer and little bit easier to block than...
  3. Assistance/advice with equipment upgrade (1st custom racket) (Update!)

    Sounds good, blade is good, generally 5-ply offensive blade is good imo. After 2 years you can upgrade if desired. Also the rubbers, say R7 max on FH and R7-soft 2.0 on BH should be OK. Eventually you'll need to replace, another combination could be Fastarc G1 max on FH and Fastarc C1 2.0 on...
  4. The Dark Side is getting more and more tempting...

    I'd like to start a massive petition on the TTD, "Bring H3 to Gozo", we'll bring you H3 so that you gonna... OK, let's not go that route... Let's better go the other route, I envision all of Gozo's opponents solidly beaten by his strokes, because...
  5. WTT Singapore Smash 2024 3/7-3/17

    Gap is getting smaller... @zeio please give me now 2 exact dates when: - will euro/japs reach super-chinese level - will AI reach super-human intelligence
  6. The Dark Side is getting more and more tempting...

    One way to not be bothered by thinking that my serve return is poor is to simply be consumed by focus on something else, something that you realize is so much more important... E.g. the recovery step after every single hit and the in and out movement. Then I'm bothered when I don't do that, or...
  7. The Dark Side is getting more and more tempting...

    My vision is clear now. There is no other camp for you, you are in SIDJ TABR. (Tabor = camp). No ANTI for you!
  8. Moon 12 Blue on sale!

    mmmmhhhhh I'd try it if only it were available in good old RED ;-) Any chance you can compare it with the Yinhe Moon Speed Soft H37?
  9. DHS fans unite!

    Mantra Pro (I hope the one with 47,5 hardness) is indeed intriguing, I'd love to try on the BH. But it's cca 50E here and I get Vega X for cca 30E. So, until they sort it out...
  10. DHS fans unite!

    Hi, for me these are very different, the DFVP (and rubbers like H3, B2, etc.) have this dense micro-porous sponge, they are sometimes called linear, or dead, or whatnot. They simply have their characteristic feedback... ;-) The Rakza Z has at least a bit porous sponge, it is also not very fast...
  11. Victas Triple Double Extra & Triple Extra Rubbers

    Hey there, my pers. exp. with TDE was not so positive. The sponge is OK, the tackiness (I don't care much) is good too, but the top-sheet feels thin(ner) the stronger you hit. H3, B2, DFVP, Loki R9 all better imho...
  12. Is Donic Vario Cean good glue ??

    Sorry didn't try butterfly free chack. But if I understand @Brs sparse coding correctly, it is good too. ;-) Welcome to the forum.
  13. Is Donic Vario Cean good glue ??

    That glue is not really good, I had it too. I can recommend Revo Nr. 3 with high viscosity (there are 3 levels). Use more layers, say 2 rubber, 2 blade, then sometimes I get it all off in 1 go. Cheers.
  14. With ML era ending, who are the top Chinese upcoming players?

    Hs this guy can't be a champion, he still looks like school-boy. No chance, never.
  15. Soft rubber for backhand

    Confusion is clearly the goal. At the same time, a lot of Xiom rubbers are good, only to find which one ;-)
  16. Post your latest EJ purchase

    Battle 3 H39 and Xiom Vega Europe 2.0, with an excuse that it's for a friend. Curious about the Battle 3 though.
  17. Everything about WCQ

    He stands a bit wider and lower than others.
  18. Xiom Vega Korea Review

    Z 52,5 is very good, if only the top-sheet was a bit firmer, e.g. like Hammond Z2. Can someone compare with the H and V top-sheet?
  19. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    NTH3PTB is a pretty cool rubber imho, but after a while I realized I need to be a bigger monster to use it. Due to its hardness and heavy-weight it is super controllable, and if you hit really full power it feels great and also zero danger of bottoming, but in a lot of normal strokes or when you...
  20. ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals Busan 2024

    Things like that happen and they also should happen. And I don't think he insulted you, or I didn't feel that way so strongly. It's rare when I disagree with @dingyibvs, but here I do, because when the "world works that way" should not mean that we "deal with it as grown-ups" but shutting our...
