For a TSPW, which of these would you choose as a FH rubber? J3 Asia 38/39 Big Dipper 38/39 Apollo 5 38/39 ?

Right now, mostly running, some occasional padel.

Sanwei is also selling as a store on Aliexpress now :)

When you sand the wings of your outer-layer carbon/composite blades, do you sand through the carbon layer? I feel I can't get it comfortable enough with just rounding off the top ply..

EL-S or G1 maybe?

Although cheap, is J3A considered a basic rubber..?

I didn't really resonate with the G-1 on forehand, however I do like C-1 on backhand. The softer sponge does make it feel different.

C-1 is around 44 g on a regular blade. Moon 12 M- should be even less, but is marketed as a backhand rubber. I've read a lot of good things about Aurus Soft aswell.

I wholeheartedly disagree. It's not tacky, no, but IMO there is a lot of grip. Well worth trying for the price.

Both Mercury 2 and Battle 2 Soft should be very tacky. Very different from most premade non Chinese-style bats. Softer, slower non-tacky rubbers usually gives more control in looping, driving etc. but tend to be "springy" in short game, where good touch is required to not give the opponent a...

I would do Sanwei Fextra 5 and Mercury 2 on both sides for a really beginner-type setup, or maybe Moon 12 medium soft on backhand if you don't want the tackiness on your BH. For something a bit faster I would go with Jupiter 3 Asia 38' on FH and Moon 12 medium hard on BH.

Yinhe Apollo 5 is great Chinese style hybrid for the price.

I was going to say that you have the 39 degree hardness, and then I realized that you just took the picture of the packaging from ProTT.. How would you compare this to Apollo 5?

From the blades I have tested (in no particular order): Xiom Offensive S Sanwei Parla Sanwei Fextra 5 Yasaka Extra Offensive Andro Timber 5 OFF As an upgrade from the YSE I would probably go with the Offensive S, great allround blade, designed to be a rival/clone of the Korbel, however far more...

Yes - I wasn't playing TT five years ago.

If someone is serving a fast long serve it's easier to counter it when being low to the table IMO. You can then raise your upper body to receive a short or half long serve as you will have time to do so. The other way around - not so much.

Rev. 3 medium viscosity is also good for peeling off

I would say it’s worth trying to fix the blade, and then just upgrade to faster rubbers. I’m guessing you didn’t boost the H3 on the forehand?

My Timber 5 Off (FL) have a nice chunky handle for my larger sized hands :) I believe the Treiber series also shares this larger handle design.

I’m looking for a Yinhe Pro-01 in FL. Some places states the weight as 88-93 g, some as 90 +/- 3 g, and some as 93 +/- 3 g. Anyone who have played several and knows what weights to go for and what to steer clear of?
