Control and speed is nearly the same thing just on different ends of the scale. The more speed the less control. The only thing possibly contributing to control could be stiffness by hard plies or carbon that would increase the sweet spot, but I think that is mainly marketing and not really a...

That is due to the fact that you used it wrong. You don't align the curve of the scissors with the curvature of the blade head but rather the opposite way. This way you can get closer to the blade head without shu any part of the scissors or your hands obstructing the action.

For outside Europe I would like to add that I was very satisfied with Nishohi.com of Japan. I primarily bought rubbers at that place when it was out of stock in Europe. They deliver very quick and send a nice Japan focused Postcard with every purchase which is really nice.

Tabletennis11.com because the guys produce good content in their blogs and on YouTube and they seem really relatable. I think I even got Sergej (Ceo) on the phone when I called their number. They enable you to select the weight of your blades and are never too tired to reply when I inquire about...

I second your opinion and yes FastArc Series is produced by ESN, just like the Rakza Series which makes it very funny that the Rakza Z is less available in the country it is manufactured than in Japan. I would also like ttarc to elaborate on his opinion and about why the G-1 would be wasted...

With ESN rubbers you mainly generate spin when the ball penetrates the topsheet and activates the sponge. Depending on the thickness and kind of topsheet that will be easier(soft topsheet) or harder. On a serve you need the ball to activate the sponge and that needs some energy. One way of...

Mx-D is more like Dignics 05 that is more forgiving, but still pretty hard in terms of sponge. To properly spin with it, you have to engage the sponge and have proper arm speed doing it. The general consensus is that the softer the sponge of the rubber is the easier it is to actually generate...

One could definitely play the Rakza Z on the forehand, because it could have taught you to properly gerenate power from the body and not just hit it and it flies through the wall behind the opponent like with regular "Tensors" like the Rakza 7. If you want early success and feel like you did a...

Sry, did not open it yet. I want to keep it pristine until I decide to use it

G-1 top sheet of around 1.7mm I think. That leaves 2.2mm for the sponge with 0.1mm wiggle room before reaching 4.0mm

The regulation says the rubber can only be 4.00mm t maximum, this includes sponge+top sheet. Many conventional rubbers do have a top sheet thickness of around 1.6mm which leaves enough room for Max sponges of 2.2mm. the rest of usually kept as spare room due to manufacturing discrepancies.

got one at home, but have no time to test. did not read any reviews yet, so i will wait for reviews. Did anybody find some reviews in english ?

Rakza 7 or Rakza Z. These are two very differently types of rubber. In the end Rakza Z will have more elasticity and spin than the hybrid Mk which is more an easy to play rubber in the comfort zone (47.5°) of many people, whole Rakza Z is harder (50°)

It actually is ... If only slightly. You take the table as reference and think just because the right foot of ma long is similar closerl to the table like his left foot, but that is not of importance. The direction of shot is what matters. He plays forehand to the wide forehand side of the...

Wow, that escalated quickly. One day you inquire about good rubber for it and on the next you want to sell it. What did you dislike so much? For the price you demand you can get the non-xu xin edition version of the blade new/non-used.

iirc (in this video or another) there was this verbal exchange "wow, when i block i dont need to adjust the angle that much blocking against the topspin" as if the Glayzer would erradicate the incoming topspin, but my explanation would be that the incoming ball (played with the Glayzer), does...

You wont: If you go for the Glayzer you just have a less spinny less speedy more controlled rubber to give your little 10 year old newcomer. If you go for the Glayzer 09c you have more spin than the Glayzer, but definitely less than the G-1 plus even less speed, so good look outspinning the...

This just shows how unreliable this comparison table is. I have played the Rakza Z quite a while and the glayzer 09c i did have a few days with. The Glayzer 09c is nowhere near the flexibility of the Rakza Z nor the Spin. The spin might look "much", because of the arc, but that arc is just that...

If you think both play similar, then I think the equipment you play with is the least of your worries. It seems like you are not advanced enough to notice the very clear difference between these rubbers, so don't change them and invest in training instead of rubbers.

Yes you would be able to tell the difference. Even though the cybershape wood is a little stiff and better for blocks and hard hits, this will be even more noticeable with the carbon variant which will not make looping easier.
