  1. Xiom Tau II

    Unfortunately it seems its the trend in new rubbers to go non tacky. That's why I've started to gravitate towards Chinese rubbers lately. I'm not convinced non tacky is better than tacky. When I hit with a tacky rubber I get the feeling the ball locks into the rubber and I can manipulate it...
  2. Xiom Tau II

    Let's hope it's still tacky but faster sponge. And more available.
  3. Looking for an extremely tacky rubber.

    Welp, I got my G888 and it's nowhere near as tacky as that. It barely picks up the ball at all. In 5 tries it picked it up about 3 inches then dropped. It's not tacky at all. Looks like the new DHS formulation has spread to the G888 line too. So disappointing 😢
  4. Aliexpress Singles Day 2024

    The shipping said it was delivered. So I got no refund.
  5. Aliexpress Singles Day 2024

    I can't say I agree with refunds. I've had instances of where the product never showed up. They required proof of nothing showing up with pictures.....
  6. Yao Jinxiang: Invader? More Japanese youths think Japan is a "victim"

    I'm sorry dude but you have a skewed outlook on the world.
  7. Yao Jinxiang: Invader? More Japanese youths think Japan is a "victim"

    Yes, very true. However Africa as a culture and people are not consolidated and organized to the point of being a world power. So they don't have the means to take revenge. If they ever stop fighting themselves they could one day want retribution for all the atrocities perpetrated on them...
  8. Yao Jinxiang: Invader? More Japanese youths think Japan is a "victim"

    If you read carefully I said the type of government is a weak system. However the economy and military is stronger than 100 years ago because the west opened up to them for trade.
  9. Yao Jinxiang: Invader? More Japanese youths think Japan is a "victim"

    You have a valid point. However I can only guess that it's because: a) China is making up for the century of humiliation by the western (including Japan) powers. They feel they are strong enough and have enough leverage now to get revenge. You know in Chinese culture revenge is so pervasive...
  10. Yao Jinxiang: Invader? More Japanese youths think Japan is a "victim"

    I actually had two Japanese friends that were angry about the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan. Yes, it was horrific and terrible. The US thought long and hard to use it. But in the end the justification was to end the war with minimal US casualties. No fault there since it was during a war...

    Temu is probably going to get banned in the US soon.
  12. Banish long pips

    Thanks for the personal attacks. I wonder if the moderators care at all.
  13. Banish long pips

    You completely missed the point. You simplify the game to hit the ball on the opposite side. Duh..... but to play at higher levels it takes athleticism and skill which equipment would give you an advantage. You're trying to justify distorting the game to allow equipment advantage. Why not...
  14. Banish long pips

    The point of the post if I'm readying correctly is that someone who is out of shape has very little skills and uses weird equipment can easily beat an athletic, skilled player. That is a very negative view of the sport IMO. How many other sports do you know that a player who is less skilled...
  15. Victas Triple Double Extra as an Neo Hurricane 3 Alternative

    I found it too heavy and slow for my liking. I didn't play with it long enough to judge longevity but I'm guessing the tackiness goes away sooner than H3.
  16. Using Knee Sleeves to gain their benefits

    IMO I don't think it's a good idea unless you have an injury. It's like using a leg crutch if you don't have a broken leg. Your body will atrophy since it's not being stressed so it doesn't need to strengthen that area. I have knee problems but I only use the brace if I haven't been doing...
  17. Amultart: most underrated Blade out there?

    That's because it's not a defensive blade.
  18. Amultart: most underrated Blade out there?

    When I tried Viscaria I thought it was too slow for me. Then again I'm used to the Amultart speed.
  19. How big is genuine Cybershape blade.

    All they have to do is trace the original blade and cut out new ones. They don't really need the dimensions.
  20. How big is genuine Cybershape blade.

    Because penholders need all the help they can get.
