    How about Spectol Red or Blue? They are plenty fast enough without boosting. The new Nittaku Sonic AR looks as though it could be quite similar as does Stiga Symmetry.
  2. Joola Rossi Emotion (JRE) still relevant for the ABS ball?

    Yeah, I think that's what they are good for, spin and speed variation, I keep meaning to give them another go Not a particularly high level - I rarely play competitively, but middle local league when I do and I would be a vet.
  3. Joola Rossi Emotion (JRE) still relevant for the ABS ball?

    Spinlord Keiler is unusual in that unlike most medium pips, the pips are not just cylinder shaped, but cylinder and ladder with a conical base, so they actually play more like short pips and are easier to use coming from inverted than some rubbers other manufacturers class as short pips.
  4. Afrobro's Handmade Blades

    I don't think I've met you, but it's not impossible. Did you measure the frequency of the blade?
  5. Afrobro's Handmade Blades

    Being a short pips user, I'd be interested to know how this composition works out for you. I definitely prefer different blades for short pips than I do for inverted, so always end up with a bit of a compromise, but any asymmetric blades I have tried so far haven't worked for me. I think...
  6. Comparison between Victas, TSP and Yasaka

    Judging by the shape of the pips, that it is 'made in Japan' and that the sponge is listed as 'medium hardness', I suspect Stiga Symmetry will be quite similar to TSP Spectol Blue. So quite fast, good for blocking and hitting and have a bit more grip than you might expect given the cylinder and...
  7. Rubber shrinking?

    Here is an interesting visual comparison between a German ESN rubber (Tibhar MXP) and a Chinese one (Spinlord Wyvern). They had both been on the same blade, since new, for exactly the same amount of time and were removed last week. They were fitted by Tabletennis11, so it would be fairly safe...
  8. New Butterfly Rubber Aibis

    It's listed as 50°, which is very hard on the Butterfly scale. Dignics 09c is 44°
  9. My thoughts on Dignics 09c

    I was thinking if I was going to try 09c I might do the same thing. Did you check what the weight difference was?
  10. Could someone help me out on which short pips rubber is most suitable for me?

    If those 3 rubbers are the only options, then The Spinpips will be the easiest to use coming from inverted and depending on what you want to achieve could be the best choice for a forehand SP in any case. However if you just want to try SPs out than you could be as well to get a sheet of...
  11. Xiom Footwork 4 Shoes

    I've had a couple of pairs of the original Xiom footwork shoes, which have the same, or at least very similar sole design and they last OK. Certainly not the worst available and better than you would imagine from looking at the design. Not too keen on the latest colours though.
  12. FT - Butterfly Innerforce ALC FL

    In response to requests for a price to sell, I would be willing to sell at £75 including tracked post in the UK. (Other countries may or may not be possible currently, but I would charge the difference in cost between domestic and international shipping, if a reliable service is available.) I...
  13. FT - Butterfly Innerforce ALC FL

    Just to clarify, The Innerforce ALC and the Innerforce Layer ALC are the same composition, limba - limba - alc - ayous - alc - limba - limba, if I remember correctly they list the new one as 6.0mm and the original was listed as 5.9mm, but I think for all intents and purposes they are the same...

    I have used them in the past with no problems
  15. Vertical vs horizontal short pips

    This is true, but SP AX also have different shaped pips, Moristo SP have a conical base and cylindrical top, the pips on Moristo SP AX are lower and are conical/cone shaped.
  16. Vertical vs horizontal short pips

    In theory horizontal are better for spin and vertical for hitting, there is a lot of information here: https://ooakforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=12963 in practice, I don't think it makes much difference. This is because I have tried Andro Hexer Pips Plus and also Hexer Pips Force, which can be...

  18. New Equipment (Rubbers & Blades) 2020

    Is it not made by ESN? It says made in Germany. There is more information here: https://www.victas.com/journal/item/whats_v11extra but the Google translate from Japanese might be missing some details
  19. New Equipment (Rubbers & Blades) 2020

    Victas V>11 Extra - claims to be 5g lighter per side, looks quite interesting as most new rubbers are on the heavy side. https://www.victas.com/ja_jp/products/rubber/hienergybacksoft/v-11/v-11-extra
  20. Best Brand Over-all?

    Going back to the original question, I think Andro have a very well thought out range and have good products in every category, including blades, rubbers, clothing, shoes etc.
