  1. Yinhe Jupiter 3 Amazing Rubber

    Thanks. If you'd compare with H3s (which we can get from H37 to H41), where approx. would you put it? Btw. if you like hard rubbers you may enjoy Nittaku Hurricane Pro 3 Turbo Blue, I'd say it is H43.
  2. Yinhe Jupiter 3 Amazing Rubber

    Good info for me, because I know Rakza Z. I've ordered the J3 red H37 on 3.11. in the "Palio Original Store" on AliExpress. After couple of days the tracking state changed, I think "shipped" if I'm not mistaken, and yesterday (23.11, after 20 days), it says: "Order cancelled." :-) Stay away...

    You probably don't mean it bad. As you say, it is just you. So let me say this. I really think no-one else was confused about that post. I think the OP understood perfectly, which was the goal. When I saw BRS's reply, I thought it was exceptionally polite, and I wished there were a "bowing"...
  4. How hard are CNT H3 after boosting?

    2.0mm. Thicker is not available, I believe.
  5. How hard are CNT H3 after boosting?

    I'm quite happy. And it all happened by accident! The new H3 BS H41 was already on the way, but not in time. Other suitable H3 was nowhere quickly to be found. And luckily, your PM came not immediately, otherwise I'd most likely go for the TDE. (It might actually be quite interesting.) The...
  6. How hard are CNT H3 after boosting?

    Oh yes, it's like you're step ahead of me :-) Indeed I stopped measuring top-sheets, because due to pointy durometer, the measurements have zero informative value... Of course, if companies do what you suggest, that would be a dream :-) I'm afraid it is about as realistic as my dream of having a...
  7. How hard are CNT H3 after boosting?

    Yes, that is the "usual" translation. I don't want to dispute that at all. At the same time, if the durometer says H3 BS H41 (supposedly ESN 54-56) is a bit harder than Bluegrip C1, which is nominally ESN 60, then I believe the durometer. The numbers given by companies are more or less right...
  8. How hard are CNT H3 after boosting?

    That's right, it's Heavy. But I remember Der mentioned his setup was 220+g, so I think for him, 10g here, 10g there, doesn't really matter that much :-) Mine is now 204g and I can feel it. Anyway, I don't want to over-step here :-) At least I can say it was the booster fumes :-)
  9. How hard are CNT H3 after boosting?

    Update: the durometer says the boosted H3 BS H41 is now 47. So yes, boosting does make it softer, a bit more than I expected. It was a thick layer. I'm sending some other measurements for reference. Take all this with a grain of salt, important is the relative differences, not the absolute...
  10. How hard are CNT H3 after boosting?

    I usually cut some small squares from the rubbers, and I happen to have Type O durometer - you know to increase my myth resiliency :-) The H3 prov BS 41 (non Neo though) is the rubber I used to use up to now. The durometer says 50, or 50-51. The Nittaku H3 Pro Turbo Blue - durometer says 55, it...

    What is USATT 1800? I went through our "elost" page to find out the ELO numbers for some percentile levels. Can you/someone fill in the other countries? I know that if someone has percentil 90 in CR and someone else has percentil 90 in USA, they are not necessarily exactly the same level, but at...

    Hi Michael, a better player (percentil 97 in CR) once told me: "It's all about the movement. Everybody can do the right shot if he stands right. I can also do a bomb like Ma Long if I stand right." I'm sure you sometime don't manage to play a shot, because you don't stand right. Some of those...

    I like the atmosphere, seems to be more relaxed. "Don't touch the table" bs is not enforced.

  15. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I actually thought about replying to you in private first, but then decided to write here. I'm glad it didn't back-fire. I know that you are very well aware about the core/hips movement, rotation, weight transfer etc. And indeed that IS the crucial thing, and the movement of non-hitting...

    Today we lost a match badly, tightly. There was a match were I was leading 9:7 in the 5th set, lost 2 points somehow, and then received 2 net-points immediately (we call swine), which I didn't return, so lost 11:9. I had to get it out of the system :-) Try hitting a bit more forward, I've never...

    Hi Richie, these are good training units. My impression is that you are naturally capable of fast muscle contraction - I don't know if this is a myth or not - but it is my impression, that some people can contract muscles faster than others, and I think you are gifted in this area, certainly...

    Wow. Any news about FZD's knee? I know it is very very very^42 audacious, but I believe FZD needs to work on his left hand, more specifically the fingers. His left hand fingers, during the forehand topspin, are tight, too tight. He relaxes them only after the stroke is finished and the left...

    Yes. The H8-80 H37 is quite good and also durable, but when it is spent, I'll put H3 H37 prov. back (that one is almost new), just to feel the difference again and realize it. Now I'll sneak the J3 H37 in between, maybe between the season halves. The price is excellent. I hope the hardness will...
