Are these really the same? Sanwei writes that the Froster uses "Arylate-Carbon Fibre" but the printing on the blade says Kevlar. For the 75 I found e.g. https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005003365452426.html "blue arylate carbon" but with a candlenut core instead of kiri that is used in the Froster.

Yes, seems to be fast overall. More like a typical tensor with more grip and control. So no replacement for H3/something that I want to test soon.

translate.google.com or deepl.com translate https://forum.tt-news.de/showthread.php?t=413629&page=2 quite well. Mostly comparisons between K3, MX-S/MX-D/MX-P 50 and D09C though no comparisons to good, old Hurricane 3.

They are now available from TT11 :)https://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/dhs-hurricane-8-80-38 https://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/dhs-hurricane-8-80-37

TTD did that (partially) in the video below starting at 8:47. E.g. Tom's most effective serve was a long fast topspin serve to the middle (7 points won out of 9 attempts) and Dan's was a short forehand backspin serve to the middle (5 points out of 6 attempts)

I'm not aware of any other company besides ESN that produces table tennis rubbers in Germany... but now I'm tempted to try the new Loki Arthur China https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005003036393920.html after having to take a look around in their official store...

Jeon Ji-Hee (Skyline TG2 40° Blue Sponge and H8-80 on backhand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7BjM7E5xKM), Shin Yu-bin (Hurricane 3), Yang Ha-eun (H3), Hina Hayata (H3), Kasumi Ishikawa (H3), Jang Woojin (H3) or Jeoung Young-sik (H3 or did he switch to something from Xiom now) use these...

Nittaku Japan uses +10 to convert from Butterfly hardness to ESN so the Tenergy 05 is around 46 ESN. From the rubbers I have played/tested I can say that a Rakza Z has around the same hardness as a 38° Battle 2 Provincial, maybe a bit harder than the B2 but both are softer than H3 39. A Codexx...

Is this even possible? I know that some guitarists can play well around 20 or even 30 notes per second (learned, fixed sequences) that is 33 ms to 50 ms per note but the contact time between the ball and the racket is less than 2 ms [1]. So if a racket is accelerated to 20 m/s (72 km/h ~ 44.7...

Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive (Walnut, Spruce, Ayous, Spruce, Walnut) => Yinhe Pro 5w (slightly thinner), Stiga Intensity NCT, Adidas Avenger 5 Stiga Clipper CR => Yinhe 437 Purple Dragon (http://mytabletennis.net/forum/some-new-2015-yinhe-blades_topic73121.html) Stiga Clipper CC => Tibhar Force...

Height of the ball: It depends on what you are trying to do. If the ball is at or below table level there is no direct path for the ball to go (maybe around the net) so one has to move it "upwards" and add much spin to curve the ball's trajectory back down to the table. If one is trying to loop...

Avalox P500 or an old Stiga Offensive Classic (Koto, Spruce, Ayous, Spruce, Koto) => Yinhe Earth 1 or DHS Hurricane Hao (both are afaik thicker than the original blades) Stiga Offensive Classic => 729 Z-1 also slightly thicker than the original Stiga Rosewood NCT 5 => Loki Black Flame Stiga...

Definitely. Weight distribution is very important. That's why I have some blades where I (removed and) filled the handle or just glued some coins to the end of the handle ;) But I don't rework the handle just to test some rubbers especially these overweight hybrid rubbers (Codexx EL Pro...

Not necessarily more catapult/speed but earlier/on lower impact shots. Denser sponge = more weight and that's quite typical for modern rubbers. Even an Evolution FX-S can weigh anything between 42g and 48g cut (around the same as a H3)... Maybe I've not seen every detail but given that...

How should softer rubbers do that? Rubbers act as springs and dampers as in a car's suspension. Drive around in a sportscar and you will feel nearly each penny/cent/road marking on the street but you won't do (at least much more attenuated) when driving a (typical) family sedan. Somewhat, they...

Yinhe Earth 1 has the same ply construction as the Avalox P500 and then there is the Soulspin Roots 2 Medium Speed which has the wanted composition Koto 0.6 mm, Spruce 1.0 mm, Kiri 3.2 mm, Spruce, Koto ("MEDIUM-FAST ALL-ROUND BLADE...

Not only Mark V and Sriver, there were also Banda Coppa and Donic Vario to be used with lots of speed glue or in my case (the last two or three years afair before my 28 year TT hiatus) tacky, Chinese rubbers on the FH ;) What I find interesting is that today some female top players are also...

Was that a vegetable oil based baby oil or "the real thing"? What might be lying around (guitar player?) is fretboard cleaner. At least some of them contain D-Limonene (as in lemon oil, even more in orange oil) which was used in some speed glues (https://patents.google.com/patent/US5910528A/en...

H3Neo 37 2.1 ~45g, H3Neo 40 2.15 ~48g (cut to a V14Pro). But I did remove the original glue layer after boosting and than used 2 + 1 layer of Revolution No 3. Not an average because I usually use the non-Neo on the forehand.

I would recommend not to save money on the blade and e.g. buy expensive rubbers and a cheap blade. Get the best possible blade that fits in the budget and that can be played for a long time (and at nearly all levels) e.g. Donic Appelgren Allplay (currently on sale for around £20 on...
