Anyone able to compare DNA Platinum M vs. Fastarc G1?

Really hard to justify those prices ...

Also looking forward to trying that when it's available ... although ... "don't fix what isn't broken" comes to mind too!

Sensible decision! Hope the handle feels better once you've sanded it down a bit. Having a comfortable handle really does make a difference.

I've been very happy with Revolution No.3 and usually put two (thin) layers of glue on the sponge and one layer on the blade. The only exception was on a Stiga Rosewood NCT which needed two layers on the blade as well because of the NCT coating. Leave to dry completely and then leave under a...

If it makes any difference to your decision, you can get the Arctic Wood at a really good price from TT11 at the moment: https://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/stiga-arctic-wood

Nice review Guys - thank you! Please could you add your scores for the 'Medium' and 'Hard' versions into the comparison table though? As you both said, most of us are likely to be better served by those versions rather than the XH so it would be nice to see how you rate the various playing...

Except that the 'something' doesn't look half as good as this!

Perhaps change the topic to "What is your favourite BH rubber?" As others have already said, there's no such thing as an objectively 'best' rubber. If you change the topic to ask about subjective favourites then there's plenty to talk about!

Good idea ... Pics of the Rebel Carbon OFF can be seen here: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?24672-Review-Vodak-Rebel-Carbon-OFF And of the Hinoki Carbon OFF here: https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?25390-Review-Vodak-Hinoki-Carbon-Off

I’m keen to support custom blade-makers and to that end I’m offering FREE trial periods with a couple of their blades that I own. Let me explain further: I understand that many folks are hesitant to buy ‘made-to-order’ blades from custom or artisan blade-makers because they can’t just try one...

Look forward to hearing your thoughts Yogi. I think the DNA Pro range are quite underrated rubbers, and I wonder if the Platinum range will be better received.

First review (at least, first that I'm aware of) of one of the new Stiga DNA Platinum rubbers ...

Another set of options to consider would be 7-ply allwoods. These generally have a nice, 'solid' (ie. not hollow) feel on contact. They also tend to give a bit more feedback than composite (ie. with carbon/synthetic layers) blades. 7-ply allwoods range from...

Nice review - thanks! It must be a beast of a blade; I've used Stiga DNA Pro H and M on a couple of blades and found them quick but not super-fast. Just goes to corroborate Coach EmRatThich's advice that the blade counts for 80% of the playing character of a bat.

You've mentioned your coach a number of times; what equipment does he recommend for you? There are lots of folks with lots of knowledge on this forum, but none of us know your game and technique (including your weaknesses, and those matter too) like your coach does. If I were you I'd ask his...

Fastarc G-1 is a classic! Super control, lots of spin, fast-ish (but not super fast) and lasts a long time. Overall excellent value for money.

Hi Erik, I'm sure you'll get lots of good advice on this forum, but there are dozens of rubbers that meet the criteria you've stated so if you could give some more detail of specifically what you're looking for that'll help kick off the conversation. To begin with: Are you looking for FH or...
