There are some inconsistencies in Butterfly's claims, yes. But are you telling us that size, shape and density don't matter and don't make a difference in anything and in this case in rubbers? Only the sponge makes a rubber faster? Those also seem like inconsistencies. T64 does not have...

Like people have already said, the rubbers you're currently using on your Xiom HAL won't be a problem on Hinoki, so why not use what you're already accustomed to, that is H3 on FH and Rakza Z on BH. If you're really scared these rubbers will be too hard, then go H3 39 and Rakza 7 or X on BH...

Hi there, Your rubbers got damaged just from sitting there, most likely due to heat, moisture and humidity. Great cheap rubbers to replace them with would be Palio AK47 Blue (~$13 each). http://www.princett.com/EN/USD/product/Palio-AK47-Pimples-in-Rubber-Blue-ver-H38-40-282.html LKT/KTL Rapid...

Of course, boosting a rubber will not compensate for your technical problems since it makes the rubber faster and spinnier, and therefore less controllable.

Yea, he's obviously also tried T19 a long time ago in the developing stages, and with 09C already around as well, being a better fit for his game, his choice was made. Wonder what he would have picked between T05 and T19 if the Dignics weren't around, or it he was still favoring a mid-distance...

Butterfly says it's faster, so Timo has to say it's faster. Other reviews seem to say it's slower too, otherwise they agree on everything else.

Vega Japan, Fastarc C-1 and S-1 are all 45 deg. Victas V-15 Limber is 40 and Stiff is 45.

Then I'd try Rozena or Vega Japan. Otherwise Fastarc C-1/S-1 or Victas V-15 Limber/Stiff.

Nice review! I was waiting for it lol. The only thing you didn't cover that I'd like to know is if T19 feels softer, harder or the same compared to T05 and T80 (like how T80 feels a bit softer than T05, due to the difference in pimples). Stretching is great and can really improve your game and...

The Butterfly table (professional ITTF tournament table, one of the best out there, 25mm top with amazing rebound, very sturdy) is significantly better than the other two, second comes the Stiga, then the Joola. They're all probably fine for your needs, depends what you're looking for (top...

Of course!

Technically that would be Tenergy 05 FX, it has more grip and is supposed to be slower, but it has more spin and arc, and I actually find it to be faster than T80 FX and harder to use. It feels harder too. I think Rozena would be the way to go, it's a bit slower, arguably in the same ballpark...

I was thinking the same thing. The new Tibhars and others will be more in the vein of Tenergy and regular Dignics (non-09C) anyway, but with the ESN touch.

The Goon Squad is going to lose their minds!!! I'm lovin' it!

That's a good setup you have, the blade and rubbers both. Yes, for FH, if you want a little bit faster, you should stick to the same rubber in 2.0mm, especially since it's a good trusted rubber and you like it so much. You will just lose a little control but you should be able to adjust. You...

Similar arc, T80 FX is faster and spinnier, DNA Pro S has more control and doesn't last quite as long. In the end, DNA Pro S can be a decent replacement to T80 FX. Why are you looking to change?

For your FH, even a commercial sheet of H3 Neo 38-40 (~17€) could do the trick. If it doesn't quite, boosting it should do (you can later upgrade to Provincial, National, blue sponge...). Also Yasaka Shining/Rising Dragon, Joola Golden Tango PS, maybe DHS H3-50. For your BH, either DHS H3-50, a...

T19 is medium hard, 47.5 degrees at most. Many will think of it as a BH rubber, whereas R50 is more thought of as a FH rubber.

Der will always find a way!

If you already think it's fast, why boost it? Most people don't boost Tenergy, especially straight out of the package. You run the risk of damaging the rubber. If you really want to try, I'd give it a couple of months.
