I have tried the X5-S. Very brief description (used on my backhand): Quite direct, medium/low trajectory/throw but not too low so that this causes any problems. Linear, no sudden strong catapult effect or anything like that. Very grippy topsheet therefore good spin on serves, pushes, flicks. Not...

If you get the right baby oil than I would say yes. Use very thin layers (put some oil on a kleenex/tissue and than spread it evenly on the sponge), wait until sponge is completely dry, repeat until rubber domes enough. Right baby oil: Johnson's/Penaten Ultra Sensitive (only ingredients should...

I think Gozo is referring to the DHS H3s that Nittaku is selling besides their "hybrid" H3s (Turbo Blue and Turbo Orange) National DHS H3 Neo Blue Sponge from Nittaku (NR-8734 with the same ITTF number than the DHS H3s (24-108)) https://www.nittaku.com/products/rubbers/post-61Provincial DHS H3...

I don't see a problem with your technique (for those interested start the video at e.g. at 2:19 or 4:07) It could be that the playing conditions (lower temperatures, higher humidity also from sweating) are the problem. It may also be a problem of conditions combined with certain balls., e.g...

The DTTB (German table tennis federation) says 15 °C / 59 °F is enough to play... I don't like that either and considering the condition of some of the playing localities, e.g., unheated on weekends, windows that can't be closed, broken heating, covid regulations that require regular ventilation...

I use both longer and shorter strokes on my FH depending on how much time I have and if and how much I want to vary speed and spin. Works very well with the H3 even on slower blades like my Sweden Extra. Or we could look at the female top players from China, Japan or Korea that quite often use...

This might not be allowed depending on where/which level one plays... At least in Germany...Personally, I couldn't care less if someone is using such heating pads or not. https://www.tischtennis.de/fileadmin/documents/Satzungen_Ordnungen/BT_Nov2020/Regelauslegungen_DTTB_2020_Dezember.pdf...

For Germany I would say everything up to 2. or 3. Bundesliga (national league), Players are paid on that level but not enough to live from that alone. Ruwen Filus said in the video (from 2019) that the lowest paid player from the 1. Bundesliga gets 15000€ to 20000€ after taxes (in the highest...

Now combine that with the OSAI system TTD uses to analyze matches... Blade currently sells for 164 Euro or $186 https://shop.gogotak.com/shop/item.php?it_id=1627872138 Weight only 82g ~88g but for some reason they also sell pain relief gel https://shop.gogotak.com/shop/item.php?it_id=1620371434

Tacky on FH (Hurricane 3). No problems with keeping them tacky with some water after each session, from time to time with a drop of dishwashing liquid, and putting a protective foil on (nothing special just ziplock bags) to keep air away from the topsheet, Tried a couple of hybrid rubbers (Rakza...

Thanks, that's really impressive. My list of BH rubbers to try before I have to switch to the "dark side" just got a bit longer: Etika 47, Mizunos new Q Quality and maybe H8-80.

A few hundred? Like 200 or 300 hours? I've gotten barely 60 hours from the last ESN rubbers that I played on backhand (V>11, V>15 Extra and BlueStorm Z2) and that's with boosting them in between because they first start feeling dead (and the trajectory flattens too much) and than usually the...

Really? The printing on the Earth 1 looks a bit "odd" but this is just because I sand all blades with 400 grit. The top ply of the Sweden Extra though is not just looking like as if it's made from two pieces...

In general I would describe the differences between 5-ply and 7-ply similar: 5-ply blades are on average thinner, more flexible, slower. 7-ply blades usually thicker, stiffer, less flexible and faster. Although some 5-ply blades like the Yasaka Extra Offensive are fast and quite stiff. What I...

Two other quite inexpensive options are the Donic Persson Powerplay and the TSP/Victas Swat (TSP Swat still on sale here in Germany for around €40 vs €60 for the Victas Swat). Probably the Yinhe Earth 3 or Yinhe Earth 1 are even less expensive (but not by much on Aliexpress, just 2 to 4 Euros...

Weight 85 g +- 5 g according to Stiga on Facebook

https://www.stigasports.com/eu/cybershape-carbon-cybershape-carbon€219,90From the description: Maybe I grab some sandpaper and files and reshape one of my blades that way to see if that "creates a completely new feel during play"... that way at least some weight should be saved ;)

For me it also depends on the server/how she/he is able to hide the contact point. As a rightie with a more forehand oriented game (but way less so compared to my younger self) I tend to stay/receive in the middle of my left table half and would receive such serves with my backhand (easier in...

And reasonably priced... ¥5,830 incl. 10% VAT around €44/$51. Maybe an introductory price because the Q1 is not much cheaper and is also made in Japan

Pro01 more dwell time, 75 feels crispier. I wonder where they found the Sanwei 75 for RMB 200 to RMB 300 (around USD 30/27€ to 47/40€)Review from TT Gan is this one:
