7-ply all-wood blades. They can vary in speed and stiffness, so it's good to choose one based on your level. TSP/Victas Swat, Butterfly SK7 Classic, Yasaka Falck W7 for example. If you're high level, some carbon blades can also be great for pips: Nittaku Acoustic Carbon Outer, Joola Rossi...

Hi Camper, This TT11 expert review of the rubber is spot on: https://blog.tabletennis11.com/nittaku-hurricane-pro-3-turbo-orange-review While it is a hybrid rubber (Chinese topsheet and Euro/Japanese sponge), it's not an extremely springy sponge like Dignics 09C. I think by "playing...

Forum members will definitely be able to give you helpful advice once you post a video of yourself highlighting your FH issue.

Hey Gwenved, the Primorac Carbon has only been listed by Butterfly at 7.0mm in recent years (since at least 2016, but perhaps a bit before). Prior to that, it was 6.9mm as listed in Butterfly catalogs dating as far back as 2003 (in 2001, their catalogs still didn't list blades' thickness). Like...

Thanks again for the info. Do still play in China or did you move? Someone recently asked in a thread what equipment kids in China start with, that's why I asked. I think he meant the kids that are picked at a young age and often have to leave their home and family to train thoroughly at...

Exactly! Which means that it really depends how you (KM1976) engage close to the table and what you prefer and want from the blade at that distance. If you want more of a wood feel on the short game and shots close to the table, and either prefer to engage slow and get a slow shot, or engage...

Yea, that's what I've heard about the feeling of hinoki blades, I've yet to try one. There are several hinoki blades I'd like to try from single-ply, 5-ply hinoki, to different plies with hinoki outers with and without carbon. I have a Cornilleau Hinotec I've been meaning to test, and I have...

I don't know if getting rid of the carbon will give you the same feel, you'll have to let us know! If you take Butterfly blades, the Hadraw VK is a Timo Boll ALC without the carbon, and the Korbel Japan, a Harimoto ALC without the carbon. I own these 4 blades and while there are similarities in...

I think no one mentioned it because OP is wondering about a blade that's basically a Primorac Carbon without carbon but in which the wood layers are made thicker to make up for the loss of carbon, so an all-wood blade that would maintain a lot of the feel and speed of the Primorac Carbon. Plus...

Well I do think it can be used differently by a wide range of players. For control-oriented players with not a lot of power, as a slow but direct rubber that can generate decent spin. For attacking players (developing or not), as a controlled rubber which necessitates better technique and power...

Hi David, just curious, which versions of H3 do you use now? Commercial, provincial, national? Orange or blue? What thickness? I think you said non-Neo 39 degrees on FH, what about BH? And on which blade? When you started TT in China, did most kids start with H2/G666? Do you remember the model...

Thank you very much! You use a layer of glue before boosting to essentially protect the topsheet from separating, right? Before you re-boost, do you first remove the old glue from the rubber or not even? Do you re-boost after a month?

If you want to buy one, I could arrange to send it to you from France to India. I've bought a blade from you before (first version Innerforce ALC).

The Acoustics are all amazing blades for sure, but even the FL LG handle is on the thin side. I'll have to give the Septear a try one of these days. Have you experimented with grip tape at all? I haven't yet but intend to on my Innerforce FL handles and other ST handles.

The regular Ossar FL handle is already large like a Viscaria, the XL is even larger like Andro blades.

Agreed. I will say that the OSP FL handle feels very similar to a Viscaria handle in hand though and has a very similar fat wavy neck.

Hey David, what's your personal technique for boosting H3? Time between layers, glue between booster layers or not...

Have you used Falco Tempo Long Booster on commercial H3 or H3 Neo? How do you apply it and what results do you get compared to with Seamoon? Either way, do you get better results boosting H3 or H3 Neo?

Thanks Yogi. Do you remove the glue off the rubber when you reboost, or do you reboost over it?
