Nope. DHS uses mostly shore A. ESN uses one of Asker scales according to zeio (http://mytabletennis.net/forum/rubber-hardness-scales_topic84873.html), but it is close to Shore 0. If rubber is manufactured by ESN it will have ESN hardness rating. I don't know which scale Butterfly uses but it is...

I own Xiom Vega X and Tenergy 05. Vega X is supposed to be the Vega Pro successor. They are indeed very similar in terms of hardness. They behave differently though. Those numbers are on different scales. 50 Fahrenheit and 50 Celcius isn't the same thing. We discussed hardness (even about the...

I wondered whether protective strip on Gewo Aruna is adding rigidity, this kinda answers my fears, because now I know it must have been so thick to affect it. Cool ideas, I wonder whether it will catch on.

Cool, but this brand looks kind of dead. Some distributor links are dead. Products are very much pricy and out of stock :|

I would just add it's not only depending on amount of the spin, but also the type (direction). If someone is not used to playing against side-top spin. If you do a gentle fade to opponent FH or a hook to opponent BH you can hit his finger if you are lucky :cool::cool::cool: It's worth keeping in...

I put wrong number for the original tenergy hardness. But which scale which brand uses is a big mess. User hagisv from other forum actually has shore O durometer and measured rubbers. https://tabletennis-reviews.com/reference/sponge-hardness-table/ There is big variance between what esn claims...

I am kinda confused. You are saying that DNA M is too soft and because of that, you net the ball. Up to this point, I thought and felt that hardness is not directly related to the arc of the rubber. And I would assume that with more direct rubbers you would net the ball more easily. What I...

That way you can't stretch the rubber while you glue it.

You don't like to have heavy racket or you don't like the fact that the blade is head heavy? In the second case, have you tried adding weight to the handle?

Heresy, TT gods bestowed with rules that clearly says otherwise. Rule 20 states `The correct number of blades to own is n + 1 where n is the number you own now.`. One should then keep spending moar money on gear one don't need and EJ for the glory of the gods ;) :rofl:

I got my blade playing surface lacquered and handle wrapped. No worries for blood (nor sweat) sinking in (neither for splinters).

I hate an "intermediate" level name. It says very little. For me, it says I am not a total newb and I know how to hold the bat but I am not a pro. That level spans a very very large amount of players. I would prefer a more if people stated "I am a hobby player" or "I am a club player". Most...

In the covid video you can see mikkas blade. I am pretty sure its a clipper. When it comes to rubbers I see butterfly logos, but can't figure out which model.

That is not how it works. If you over shoot with the level of gear you will play worse. Play with whatever is good for you at a particular point in time. If you won't have good enough skill level the best rubber would be annoying, hard to use, you will miss a lot. Real pain in the butt. I am not...

There is no such thing. Everyone is biased towards something. Any website which has input from users will not be reliable, especially when some rubbers are really close together. I would say don't stress too much about the rubbers if you are an intermediate player. The rubber type makes most...

I think that Konrad had a good insight in this thread. I think we should stop arguing about butterfly supremacy and give the OP some propositions. This argument might not necessarily help the OP. PS: I don't want to be bossy. I just want to help the OP in good faith.

Remember to name a rubber that costs no more than 10% than Xiom counterpart. I really like Xiom Vega China VM for its durability and feeling of boosted Chinese rubber without hastle. Go ahead.

When it comes to a rubber that meets your requirements it reminds me of Donic Bluefire M2, especially after booster wore off. I am no expert but since you want to take other options into consideration that might be a nice option. Also Andro Hexer Powergrip, check Dan review about it. I only...

Get a goon squad here, we have Butterfly warrior here. Someone likes Xiom rubbers, some people like Xiom rubbers, some people prefer Donic rubbers some swear only by the Butterfly. What's wrong with diversity...

Agreed. When comparing hardness make sure, you are comparing same type of rubber and same hardness scale. Wysłane z mojego ONEPLUS A6013 przy użyciu Tapatalka
