LOL, like the Schildkrot review?:D I agree.. humour can add to a review... and some people have a way with words :cool: Comparisons I find the most useful personally, especially if I'm familiar with the rubber being compared to. To me a review is certainly worth a lot more than just ratings...

If the prices in Australia are any indication, the Butterfly 40+ are quite expensive, like at least double the price. I'm not sure who makes them, but they're also Chinese-made, probably by Double Fish.

I always thought Mark V and Sriver were excellent benchmarks, as they have been around 'forever', but I think the latest generation has probably not even tried them. Tenergy is probably a good modern benchmark, but I think it's too expensive for a lot of amateur players (like most of us) and...

Seems most clubs have not made decisions yet...

For those players who's club has changed to plastic balls, which brand ball have you changed to? I believe none of our local clubs have made a decision yet, but I'm most interested to hear what other clubs have chosen. :)

I think some sort of proforma for am equipment review is a really good idea. Even if the reviewer does not want to use it, it gives them a list of things to think about. So often when we test new equipment and write a little review, we get questions on things we had not even considered, and we...

The Vega Japan is another option. It's like a spinnier version of the Pro. Very good glue feel.

My thoughts exactly! I'm keen to try a real ITTF approved one though, so I probably won't be able to resist buying a packet of each brand once they become available.

Very nice interview ttboll!

I've tried the Long Booster on the topsheet, and it left a mess that I could not clean up. THe only one you can use on the topsheet is the Falco Expander, where multiple layers will boost the topsheet.

Fantastic interview, Dan, great work!!!

Yes the concept is nothing new... has been discussed on the forums for years. Some oils work better than others. Unless you want to boost your rubber (yes multiple layers will give a boost effect), I'd suggest only use a single layer, which is enough to restore grip to some extent. Note also...

Table Tennis - the sport for life.

The regular Mark V is an excellent allround rubber that can do everything, works on most blades, and is still used by many players worldwide. If you like this rubber, I'd suggest you stick to it, as it has by far the best reputation among the other Mark V rubbers. Sure, some might give you more...

Very nice review cheli, love the technical details you've included!

As some of you probably know, I'm admin of OOAK forum. Dan and I are friends, and we've spoken about this thread and how it seems to have divided the 2 forums. I would not have posted here again in the fear of making things worse, but Dan asked me to post something to try and restore the peace...

That seems very unfair and totally unfounded. I have a great deal of respect for both these members, and to imply that their opinions are based on resentment of ttdaily becoming more popular and a threat to OOAK is quite disrespectful to them, and I'm sure totally unfounded. Sorry to get this...
