so 4 months in, about 17 weeks, let’s say 15 weeks @ 4hrs/ week = about 60hrs + both sheets still performing well!!

With regard to boosting rubbers and factory pre-tuned rubbers 1) Is the boosting reducing overall durability / lifespan compared to un-boosted ? 2) Do certain boosters work better on certain rubber combos? Sponge types? 3) Is boosting likely to increase the likelihood of ‘bubbling’? 4)...

what sort of lifespan are you getting from the dynayrz? Or are you the 1st sheet?

TT11 has TSP SWAT on offer, check out the thread on here, popularity / unpopularity SWAT (or similar !!!!) There's some good posts about this blade, Off- rating, one of the most popular blades in Japan

Thats one of the things I’ve heard about the Evo series, but I have MXS and MXP as well, they were still okay after 3 months, but I stopped playing with them. However I think performance was starting to drop off.

What I found was that the playing / training partners I play with, started to make comments like ‘really struggling to block these loops’ ‘ loads of spin’ this started to happen 3 - 4 weeks after I started to use the rubber, after the tack had worn off compared to new. I think the shots were...

Hi, The set up that my kids were / are using, 10 and 12 yr old. is - Blade - Tibhar IVL Balsa, which is a very light blade. Rubbers - Tibhar Aurus Sound both sides 1.7mm this is well balanced set up and light, which I think is good for youngsters. Its not a cheap set up, around €110 which a lot...

Both rubbers were bought from a local dealer/shop, very good reputation. I clean with water / moist sponge during matches / training, then maybe once a week with a rubber cleaner

Hi MOG, l won’t be able to make next weekend!!! But if you’re continuing to run the weekend tournaments then it’s a distinct possibility. It would be great to get out and meet one of the other forum members. Today I received an email from the SHAW league committee, which said they were looking...

Issues found with some rubbers Tibhar FXS - edge of rubber broke away, pimple by pimple around the whole edge of the bat. From 1st use onwards. DHS H3 Neo provincial red sheets, top sheet and sponge started to de-bond at edges, also quite delicate, slightest knock on table seemed to cause damage.

I’m in the same boat, started playing again after 30yrs out!! i feel the same as yourself, the quality of rubber durability has certainly decreased!! On the other hand the base attributes of rubbers seam to have increased, faster, more spin, better control etc so is this because the modern...

Hi everyone, Whilst reading a lot of threads there’s been many references to the durability of rubbers, so I thought a thread just for durability would be good. could be one out there already, apologies if there is !! Durability, covers many subjects as well though!! Fragility, reaction to...

For me it still felt the same, which is sort of a contradiction!! It’s not an instantaneous loss of tack, gradually over a few weeks or so. If you play 2 or 3 times a week the change isn’t really noticeable. It’s only when you do a tack test, ie picking the ball up with rubber that you see the...

Some movement in my area (Hertfordshire), there's now 3 different groups running table tennis training or playing sessions that I know of locally (within 10 miles of me) Still no league matches, and after Boris's little talk mid-week, looks like no league matches until 2021 at the earliest...

I've kept my rubbers well protected, and because i'm reasonably use to tacky rubbers losing their tack, I don't really think much about it when they do. in fact I found that when H8 lost it's tackiness, that's when it started to really perform!!

How long did it take for the D09C to degrade? when you say really really poor, I don’t get it, I’ve had 2 sheets for 5 months and it’s still performing well, as I’ve said before, if the D09C is degrading it’s very slowly and less noticeable, at least for me, that’s how it seems.

I think 9000rpm was recorded in a spin contest with the old ball by Mazunov , New ball is around 8000rpm. Don't know what shot they were playing etc.

Hi Brs, why do you think reading spin against LP is better? cheers.

Hi MOG, You could try the Nittaku Risoud Carbon FL, it’s on offer at TT11, A snip at €2200, no reviews though, very disappointing, especially as I thought these would be flying off the shelf!!
