Have you already seen Zhang Jike's multiball sessions? (crazy speed and footwork starts around 11:05) No references as far as I can see but Wikipedia writes: "When Zhang Jike initially joined the national team, the coaches were apprehensive about his forehand technique and thought about...

Do the rubbers dome when using the glue from Loki or does the glue smell like the original 1) speedglue? If not than it's probably safe to use before competitions. If it creates a dome than just air it for one or two days. If you want some (short lived) speedglue feeling you can get a rubber...

Shrinks a bit but reboosting is usually enough to make the rubbers fit again. If they don't fit I still use them for training or if not too small (2 mm +- on the edges are allowed) in league matches.

Revolution No. 3, normal viscosity. Two layers on the sponge and one or two on the blade. Works for H3 + two layers Seamoon. Sometimes a pile of books is needed if the dome is too pronounced usually only with too thick or too many booster layers😉

Factive is regarded an entry level Tensor in Germany. Might be light but not close in performance compared to e.g. V>11 or the like. Other options: Battle 3 38 (black, cut to 157 mm x 150 mm) weighed around 46g. Glayzer 09C just 44g (99g with package). Vega Asia (47.5°) and even more the Asia...

I don't have any reliable data on durability besides a few positive remarks in a German forum but the sometimes overlooked Codexx EL Pro 52 and EF Pro 54 (or the Codexx Super Select 53 and 55) might be an option.

TTGearLab has already tested it: https://ttgearlab.com/2024/05/16/xiom-hayabusa-zl-pro-photos-information/ Koto, Ayous, Zyphylium/PBO, Kiri, Zyphylium/PBO, Ayous, Koto, 5.7 mm thick Performance-wise it seems to be closer to a Hurricane Long 5 (new version/2022) or a Hurricane 301Z than to any...

Sweden Extra (SE) = All to Off- depending on weight, harder Anigre outer ply. Comfortable but not very big handle. Very good price-performance ratio. Usually light i.e. < 85g Extra Offensive (YEO) = Off, very good fit for harder, tacky rubbers. Slightly thicker handle than SE. Great feel/much...

Beast mod anyone? V14Pro needs some woodworking not as hollow as a 729 Blue Arylate...

Change the new coach not the rubbers ;) But I'm biased 1) Let's start from the end: Not only Chinese rubbers like H3 or similar need a proper stroke, good legwork, core engagement, body rotation, recovery/relaxing (after/before a stroke) and so on. All rubbers need that at least if one want's...

I wonder why they are using such a soft and not really durable and grippy (at least in higher humidity environments) BH rubber. Desto F1 is just 42.5° ESN which I bottom out way to early to play a bit further from the table. Easier to use over the table and close to the table (flicks...

I'm still using one of my old pairs of Cloudwalker/APPP003 bought in afair December 2020 https://www.amazon.de/Li-Ning-Tischtennisschuh-Cloudwalker-weiß/dp/B085QKMBP1 The only thing I did was some "boosting"/restoring grip with linseed oil and quite regular cleaning with water and dish soap...

Thanks. Sounds promising :) Hopefully availability will be better soon (only found it on Nishohi and TT-Japan). Resonate blades still not available here and the new Exfiber blades might also not find their way to Europe.

That's pretty light for a rubber that's around 50° ESN. I'm still looking for "the" optimal backhand rubber. Glayzer 09C (quite close if softened and boosted and also pretty light but the sponge is as brittle as many ESN rubbers). H3 37 for serves, short game and flicks, G09C or H3 39/B3 39 for...

What I do to select a blade for testing (if I'm not purely EJing ;)) is read some reviews to get an idea how this blade could play but more importantly I go to ttgearlab.com and look up the numbers if TTGearLab has measured this blade. Ep = primary elasticity index (basically speed), Ec =...

I've also ordered many times from AliExpress and had no issues except for long delivery times when ordering glues or boosters (these are shipped by rail https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chongqing–Xinjiang–Europe_railway). Tracking always worked but what I noticed a couple of month ago was that the...

@v100ev: Same here. I've also tried many hybrid rubbers and had the same issues. They all want this fuller contact/more sponge/hitting through the ball than rubbers like B2 or H3. Problem (for me) is that they need to be played like this all the time otherwise the shot quality is low(er) or...

Yes, finally :) Old match Dane vs Beast (Beast won) both have improved since then, Miikka too. TTRs of 2170 Beast vs 2136 (all time high) Miikka. Otto has won against Felix Kleeberg 2115 and https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazeem_Nosiru (TTR 2158 at that time) TomorrowTableTennis-Series...
