  3. New Sanwei rubber - first look

    Nice to hear that things going back to normal. Do you know which Target National that is in the new catalog? I thought that it was the new 62-021 but the description is the same in the old and new catalog ("2nd generation...") except for the sponge hardness (max vs 39.5).
  4. New Sanwei rubber - first look

    According to their new catalog https://www.sanweisport.com/english/?page_id=3617 (page 15) the Gear Hyper will be available with 36° and 38° sponges and it seems that the new Target National is also on the way ("2nd generation", 39.5°, Target Pro Blue and Target 90 are also listed). Hopefully we...
  5. A nice and value for money table tennis racket under 50$

    FH: Sanwei Target 90, BH: Sanwei Taiji or both sides with Taiji Blade: Sanwei A9, Sanwei Green Even (QY-1091) or Sanwei Fextra (might be too fast with Target 90) DHS setup: 2x Hurricane 3 (Neo) or Hurricane 3 on FH and Palio AK47 on BH and a PG7 blade (there are a lot of these or similar bundles...
  6. Opinions regarding flexible/stiff - hard/soft blades for a beginner

    If you want to try something in between Wenge and Limba (and neither to flexible nor to stiff) I can recommend the Yasaka Sweden Extra (not to slow ALL+ to OFF- blade) with an Anegre outer ply or the classic Donic Persson Powerplay (Koto, paper foil, 3x Ayous, paper foil, Koto). Don't get the...
  7. Authentic Stiga Blade from China?

    Little bit OT but might be helpful: Since this happened to one of my blades too I simply switched back to what I used/did in the good old speedglue era: Sanding the blades with P400 sandpaper and using normal, non-water based (speed-)glue on the blade and WBG on the rubbers (if I don't want the...
  8. Donic BlueStrom Z2 vs Xiom Omega V Asia for fh? (on a Stiga Offensive Nct CS)

    A little bit off-topic: Take care of your blade. I wanted to get one of these blades end of last year for testing but couldn't find one with a Legend grip so I contacted Stiga and the answer was "We have stopped with this blade in our range unfortunately, that is the reason why you can’t find it."
  9. Help me with a decicion please!

    Yes. Keep the blade and experiment with some additional weight could help. If your backhand is (much) stronger than your forehand than you could stay imo with the O7T otherwise I would definitely try a softer rubber on that side to reduce the effort needed (and the strain on the wrist, elbow etc.).
  10. Help me with a decicion please!

    The Vega Europe will be imo too soft if one is used to such hard rubbers as the O7T (42.5° ESN vs 55° ESN for the O7T. Would be interesting to know if the H3N or the O7T of this setup feels harder...). Maybe a Vega Pro or Vega Asia (both 47.5° ESN) would be a better option for the backhand...
  11. New Sanwei Target 90 Red Provincial & Target Pro Blue National

    At least the two black Red 90 that I have are a lot less tacky than the other tacky rubbers I've played with like H3Prov, H3Comm, Battle 2 or Bloom Power and they needed some booster to produce a high enough arc for me (still lower than boosted H3). Otherwise, yes, easy to play, easy to smash...
