  1. What Glue should I use?

    That's what Free Chack II did to my Dignics 09C and 05 and left such a mess on two of my blades. Never happened again after I switched glues.
  2. What Glue should I use?

    I don't like the Butterfly glues, they often leave residue on the rubber or blade if you don't glue a thick enough layer. It's a PITA to get off. I use DHS No. 15, cheap and it's so easy to remove. Highly recommend.
  3. What rubber(s) compare to Fastarc G1?

    Trying to even think what kind of drugs could even be used for doping in table tennis. It's not like table tennis is a super physically demanding sport where high levels of endurance or physical strength would be beneficial. Maybe EPO might help a bit? Maybe addy for energy and concentration...
  4. What rubber(s) compare to Fastarc G1?

    There was a reddit post about it and also there's been news articles about it. Might not garner as much publicity here since a lot of people on this forum are non-US players.
  5. Zhang Jike ALC Vs Fan Zhendong ALC

    I have both. No difference for me
  6. Question about boosting?

    I would remove the glue then add the layer of booster then two layers of glue. I’ve never really noticed any difference if I add the glue first the booster or just booster directly
  7. What rubber(s) compare to Fastarc G1?

    You definitely don't need to be at least 2000 to use it. It's a good jack-of-all trades offensive versatile rubber that isn't the best anything in particular. It's like a harder, less bouncy version of Tenergy 05. Heard Xiom Vega X is pretty similar to G1.
  8. Nittaku Hina Hayata H2 most recent review

    Maybe the regular is different from pro, but I use H3N on my TMXi pro and it feels somewhat similar to W968 but with better BH. AJH used to play with W968 before switching to Xiom so it makes sense the two blades play pretty similar. Nah, haven’t tried looking into getting one. I might one day...
  9. What’s your most satisfying moment in table tennis?

    From an ebay listing that was incorrectly listed. Based of the seller's profile, it seems the seller bought a bunch of warehouse liquidation / return items and incorrectly listed it not knowing what it actually was. I feel pretty confident that they're real (seller has 100% rate with a lot of...
  10. What's the weight of your setup and what's the ideal weight of your setup?

    Time to go back and retune the weights of all my setups haha. I can probably take off 5-10g off each setup by just getting rid of excess glue.
  11. What’s your most satisfying moment in table tennis?

    Just bought several pieces of Dignics 09c at $55 a piece. I get the satisfaction now haha
  12. Nittaku Hina Hayata H2 most recent review

    Yeah, but not as much as I used to when I first got it. I sorta use everything these days just because I love experimenting. Just depends on how I feel for that day. If I'm lazy and don't feel like moving as much, I'll pull out my FZD ALC and just BH hit everything and then if I'm full of energy...
  13. Nittaku Hina Hayata H2 most recent review

    Yeah totally agree with a lot of these points. I originally said a lot of the same things in my review post as well. The H2 is definitely a lot easier to control than the W968. I often find myself surprised that ball lands on the table because I know that if I had hit that same shot with the...
  14. Besides table tennis, what hobbies/sports do you do in your free time?

    I alternate between hobbies every couple of months and I definitely go through phases of intense interest followed by periods of lull. Examples of past interests: weightlifting, fountain pens, table tennis, Starcraft II, photography
  15. How long would a regular/national DHS 3 last boosted and what's objectively the best booster?

    Has anyone tried experimenting with boosting with different layers of booster? I've been trying 1-2 base layers of Falco Tempo Platnium + 1 layer of Haifu Seamoon National Yellow to try to get the performance of HSNY (albiet at a lesser degree) but for a longer period of time. Everytime I...
  16. What's the weight of your setup and what's the ideal weight of your setup?

    I reboosted my H3N and only applied two thin layers of DHS No 15 this time. Total weight 190g! This thing feels so much more balanced now. The reason why I used such a thick layer before was because when I first started playing, I used Butterfly Free Chack II and applying thin layers with that...
  17. Nittaku Hina Hayata H2 most recent review

    For me, compared to the W968, the H2 has higher quality and speed at lower power shots, meaning things like flicks are a lot easier with this blade. However, as you mentioned, once you go away from the table and have more higher power shots, the W968 shines. The W968 has that dangerous...
  18. What's the weight of your setup and what's the ideal weight of your setup?

    Well another reason is because I never bothered to take off the old layers of glue when putting it back on a blade after boosting. I would just glue the blade and use the residue glue from the rubber so gradually over time, the rubber kept getting one glue layer thicker at a time.
  19. What's the weight of your setup and what's the ideal weight of your setup?

    I took off my H3N and realized it had 10g of glue on it 😳. Currently reboosting and will use less glue now. Hopefully I only need 5g of glue and that’ll take the weight down quite a bit.
