H3 commercial 39 and 37 ;) You could also try 729 Dragon F oder Loki RXTON 3 (blue, pinkt) for even cheaper rubbers. Non-tacky BH: 729 Dragon L, Focus 3 Snipe, Palio AK47.

729 Battle 3 38° which for me is closer (throw angle and spin) to H3 than the B2 but faster than H3. If you want the real experience: H3 39 + Haifu Seamoon. Something as soft as the MX-S: Hurricane 8-80 37 or 38 or Skyline 3-60 37. These are a bit more hybrid-like.

Something new to review: Battle 2 Provincial Soft 37° https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006094954507.html or https://www.tabletennis.my/collections/rubber-sticky-elastic/products/729-battle-ii-soft-provincial Seems to have a new/different sponge (729 calls it "Energy Preset System"). Black...

729 F-1 = inner carbon, koto, limba/ayous, 3k carbon, kiri core, light (less than 80g possible), inexpensive 729 Blue Arylate = outer carbon, koto, alc, ayous, kiri core, Viscaria structure but slower and spinnier although they are 6mm thick and usually weigh 90g+ 729 Yellow Arylate = inner...

Why do they say that she's unranked? https://usatt.simplycompete.com/userAccount/trn/115856 She got her first USATT rating in 2016 and played the last three Westchester Opens in August, September and October. Current rating: 2476 and number 20 in the US...

At least that was the case with the Nittaku H3Neos ordered around January 2023 and my other H3s that I bought in January and May/June but I'm not sure if they have the same tackiness as Sun Yingsha's H3. I don't have these DHS WTT (DJ40+ WTT) balls to test that but I know from some league...

Some differences can be found here (sponge hardness) https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/h3n-prob-bs-39-v-40-v-41-how-do-they-play-differently.32198/ but 39° is always a good starting point. Neo vs non-Neo? Good question I don't see much if any difference but I boost every H3 I'm...

One can hit even harder before bottoming out the rubber... For me the harder H3 (40° and more) are better for blocking than the softer ones but the softer (40° and less) ones are better for looping. Especially during winter when some ... try to save some money by not properly heating our...

Someone on TTD posted Heming Hu's video on equipment recently And more importantly: I don't know which market versions he's referring to (just national or also provincial versions) but it's good to know that we as amateurs can get more or less the same quality rubbers from DHS that the top...

Beo Store https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005006083049134.html 37° , red topsheet + orange sponge, black topsheet + purple sponge.

It's quite a long time since I played with the purple sponge Bloom Power (2019 afair) so maybe the 45° version felt harder than 45° ESN or I had a softer than usual one... on the other hand I also played with Vega Pro and similar hard rubbers at that time... 45 Shore A ;) Maybe a heavily boosted...

I think that I had the 45° Bloom Power so the sponge should be softer than a 37° H3 but the Bloom Power is also available with 47° and 49° sponge (37° DHS/Shore A is about 47° ESN). 729 for some reason uses three different hardness scales: ESN (Bloom, Presto, Battle 2 Commercial), DHS/Shore A...

Boosted H3 37 ;) Bloom Power is or at least was much more tacky than the H3s currently sold when I tested it. Different feeling, lower throw. You could try 729 Dragon-F hard/medium hard for a bit more hybrid like BH rubber or Hurricane 8-80 37. Skyline 3-60 37 could also be an option depending...

Technically the PPP is a 5+2 blade. Koto, compressed paper, ayous, ayous, ayous,, compressed paper, Koto. Donic calls that compressed paper an "anti-vibration film" / "special damping film". The 3x ayous core structure is similar to typical 7-ply blades therefore stiffer than the 1x ayous used...

Thank you. The whole Diamond series from Sword looks interesting. Diamond Mountain = Koto, ALC, Ayous, Kiri, Ayous, ALC, Koto, 6.0 mm Diamond Forest = Koto, Ayous, ALC2V1, Kiri , ALC2V1, Ayous, Koto, 6.0 mm Diamond Fire = Koto, Ayous. ALC6R, Ayous, ALC6R, Ayous, Koto, 5.8 mm Diamond Wind =...

Do you by chance know if DoubleFish Polestar J1 (Viscaria structure)/J2 (HL5 structure) or Sword Diamond Mountain (Viscaria structure) are worth a try? https://www.doublefish.com/double-fish-pole-star-df-j1-transparent-and-crispy-yet-not-ordinary-in-daily-life_n53...

Don't give up. H3N needs some time to break in if used unboosted and getting used to these kind of rubbers takes some time. Ti Long did some very good videos on FH technique e.g. or

OK, than I should have said similar to a slice serve in tennis instead of tomahawk smash ;)

Do you mean twiddle back to H3 on FH after a smash? I did that only when I saw that an opponent was going for a counter smash/loop/something low enough to loop instead of a lob. Instead of twiddling one can try to smash with sidespin (something like an overhead tomahawk serve) or if you like to...
