I'm pretty sure most rubber cleaners are just glorified, diluted (weak) dish soap.. The neat think about them is that the soap in them breaks the surface tension, so it's much easier to spread out a thin layer of it to wipe off, compared to using just water.

I think men will (I'm going out on a limb here and guess you're male), in almost any hobby or interest, be subjected to the EJ phenomenon. We like to have nice gear, research the next purchase, collecting and trying out different setups. If you go to any forum for a specific sport, car (brand or...

I weighed my sheet of LAC after removing it from my Fextra, and just the cut rubber without glue is 43-44 g! I thought it was seen as a somewhat heavy rubber..

DHS 301 91g + Mantra Pro M + Gear Hyper 38' : 188g

I second this! Mantra Pro M is 47 ESN scale hardness. For me it's a great BH rubber.

I really like the Gear Hyper (38) on my DHS 301 on FH! You can watch this review on it: (they have English subtitles), I agree pretty much with everything they say about it.

I think this is an important aspect.

I bought a sheet of Mantra Pro M from Aliexpress. No complaints! Just choose a seller with many units sold and good reviews.

The Long 3 is way too expensive to be considered a good recommendation for an intermediate beginner.

No, it's free when ordering a blade from them :)

The MAIN purpose of sealing a blade is to stop the blade surface from splintering/tearing when removing a glued sheet of rubber from it. Done properly it should not have any noticeable effects. (I would recommend using it)

I was gonna say G-1, which is pretty linear for being a tensor, but then noted you wrote harder than 47,5. Sanwei Gear Hyper is said to be a Chinese made tensor rubbers. 38 and 39 degrees hardness should be well above 47,5 ESN scale. Or do you want something with much trampoline effect?

Yeah, I was thinking Big Dipper, C-1, Korea and Mantra Pro M as BH rubbers and the rest as FH rubbers!

I took his word for wanting something faster an went with MX-P, he seems satisfied with it! I don't think he's that much into TT that he would consider paying a coach..

Anyone want to help an EJ pairing blades with rubbers? I want to try different combinations to see what I like and don't like. So far I think I'm going to glue J3 Asia (38) and Big Dipper (38) on the Timber 5 Off, but other than that I'm not sure what combinations to go for. The R48 is in max...

During our lunch breaks at work we play TT in the basement of our office building. One of my colleagues have a (premade) Stiga Pulse 5-star. I asked to try it and the racket itsself was OK. However, the way it felt in my hand was REALLY good! Anyone know if some of the regular Stiga blades have...

Weird, I felt my Fextra One had far greater finishing than the Fextras i have. (I sold my Fextra One before trying it out with rubbers)

So I've gotten this blade and have the following rubbers, and I'm not sure which of them I should put on the FH: LAC Apollo 5 38 Apollo 5 40 J3 Asia 38 Gear Hyper 38 Vega Korea R48 (max) Any suggestions?

How long is a piece of string? It depends entirely on what you set as a benchmark for having "learned" TT or playing guitar. Getting the basic strokes in TT down in a slow and somewhat correct fashion on easy balls fed from a coach + understanding the rules is IMO easier than learning to read...
