  1. What is the best ESN Hybrid rubber for FH?

    Honestly, I still think Off- blade is too fast, lol. I, myself, am using an Allround blade and it's more than fast enough for me. I'm even using unboosted B2 on my forehand. I think that getting a thinner rubber would make it even faster.
  2. Got me a 1 ply kiso-hinoki jpen

    Get one that Ryu Seung Min used in his Olympic final.
  3. Can I bring many rackets with different setup to a tournament?

    Last time I did this, everything went all wrong for me. While I did give a good fight, it was very frustrating. At that time I was using Vega Pro with Vega China and Tenergy. My friend's blade was HRT Clipper with ELP and I Vega Pro. I lost 3-2 against someone I always beat 3-0. Passed to the...

    Yinhe Y-13 splinters too but it's cheap enough to get another without the need to seal it.
  5. How to play against high topspin loops?

    It looks harder but it's not that hard once you get used to it. I've watched pingskill video on youtube about this and slowly implemented it to my forehand and backhand. I don't have enough confidence to do it on my backhand tho. Hit through the sponge. You won't be able to hit it on the first...
  6. How to play against high topspin loops?

    Smash it. Whether it's topspin or backspin if it's high, smash it.
  7. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    From google aramid is short for aromatic polyamide.
  8. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Thank you, I'll look for it. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed that I didn't get V7-RS when it was on 75% discount because I was yet know just how good Loki's blade quality and build. Turns out, it's great and unfortunately, there's no discount anymore. Your brain/ perception. Call it placebo...
  9. Big Dipper, Loki Arthur China experience.

    Yes it's like your rubber gets its second chance to live🤪 Of course, no rubber keeps its performance forever. Haifu is good too. Try it and see if you like it. Try Vega China if you can get you hands on it. Superb rubber.
  10. Xiom TMX Pro - Rubber recommendations

    TMX Pro should be very fast, no? I think your best bet is with Vega China for FH and Omega 7 pro for BH. Best combo.
  11. Big Dipper, Loki Arthur China experience.

    I've never tried K3 but I assume it should be similar to other tensor rubbers. I've played with Vega China and loved it. Once I felt the rubber was losing the bite, I boosted it with a layer or FTL. I boosted it every 3 months and was able to use it for a year. It's very robust despite repeated...
  12. Looking for a backhand-punch rubber

    G1 itself is very good for backhand punch. You'd be hard pressed to find something that can do everything as well as G1. Part of me would like you to keep trying backhand punch using G1 but since you asked for a different rubber than look no further than Vega Europe or stiga DNA.
  13. Why no one plays Butterfly Tamca 5000 blades

    I'll tell you one secret, my short game was better when I was using Gergely or Zetro Quad than my short game with Loki V5. So, faster blade doesn't always mean bad for short game. That's my conclusion so far. I don't use Gergely because the handle pisses me off and I hit the table with my Zetro...
  14. Big Dipper, Loki Arthur China experience.

    Even if K3 doesn't last as long as Dignics, you can always boost it for longer and long lasting performance. Should get you another 3-6 months. I was able to prolong the life of my Vega China for another year like that.
  15. The Dark Side is getting more and more tempting...

    Now that I think about it, if pips and antis are the dark side then what about the EJ? Whish side are we?
  16. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    We can always trick our mind by believing it plays like w968 coz it's the same construction. Well, maybe the lite version. 😂 It's all in the head. Personally, ever since the good experience I have had with Loki V5, my current blade, Imyrather curious whether there's another blade with the same...
  17. Yinhe Big Dipper 38 deg for BH?

    Big Dipper is tacky and grippy so you have nothing to be worried about, it's nothing like AK47. I don't think you can use it as well as your Rakza 7 unless you slightly change your technique. Rather than Big Dipper, try Moon 12 Medium hard and boost it.
  18. Yinhe Big Dipper 38 deg for BH?

    Compared to Mantra M, it's less bouncy even after you boost it. The rubber grips the ball well but the characteristic is different than Rakza 7. Very different.
  19. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    You could try Loki V7-RS for a much cheaper price. Similar construction as W968 and pristine craftsmanship.
  20. What is the best ESN Hybrid rubber for FH?

    Get a 5 ply all wood blade that is either All or Off-. Loki V5 is fine. Sanwei Echo or Parla is also superb. They are cheap but quality is good. God, N80. I had two N80 and I hate it to the bone. The rubber behaved like nothing I have experienced before. It was godly in counter looping...
