Rising Dragon is €46 from TT11. Target National is £20 from eaching's ebay store (free shipping)

Rising Dragon is a chinese rubber. It's probably classed as a hybrid because it's semi-tacky (topsheet looks very much like yinhe big dipper) rather than full-on tacky like a classic H3, and its sponge is modern and porous (I could believe it if someone said it was a japanese sponge - it's...

I think everyone just ignored you when you mentioned "cheap" LOLz. Try 729 Aurora for an upgraded Focus 3 Snipe (bit more grip, slightly faster) or 729 Battle II (the non-tacky one, higher throw, more modern sponge and topsheet response).

Koki beat Harimoto 4-0 in the 4th round according to the ITTF's Facebook page:

Gionis v Groth is a fab match. Well worth a watch.

HZW is playing today. Already beaten Niall Cameroon. Also, Victor Shi Guang was told he couldn't use his bat for some reason...

Brilliant stuff! Love the camera angles. I mean, it's not broadcast quality but it's great to be so close up to the players. It's like watching a local league match, but with the best players in the world. You can really see the ridiculous quality they have. ML's backhand openers are...

Here is the proof - FZD is all over the Infinity. http://tt-japan.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_6&products_id=2762 Well...a picture of FZD is all over the Infinity....:D

Awesome! Always great to see teams being supported and sponsored.

Oh, I forgot to mention! After my first post above (the one with the Habesohn video), I went to see my optician and he found that the muscles in my right eye are weakening. So this is causing the eye to struggle when focusing, very noticeable after I blink. So when wearing contacts, I blink...

Ha, yeah. And stuck them to my face with voc-free glue! I'd probably play better with all that lovely price-rigged Butterfly technology attached to my eyelids.

A quick update on this. I received my Adivista frames with prescription lenses a few weeks ago. Here's what they look like: My prescription is pretty high (-4.75 in each eye), so I was right on the limit of what could be achieved with these frames and the lens technology. But the outcome...

More ball news, but pretty slim pickings. 729 - With Seam - Made in China - White Komann - With Seam - Made in China - White A few balls are on the brink of dropping off the list (adidas, gambler, stag, TSP) and shouldn't be used after 30th June 2016 (note that this includes some plastic...

I always ask tt-japan to use a low value (approx $20) on the package. They're very helpful.

Wow - thanks mate! I'm definitely interested. I've ordered the Virtuoso Carbon, so would be great to compare them side-by-side. Keep in touch!

They might not sell it to you due to BTY's shipping restrictions, but iruiru have it listed here: http://www.iruiru.com/goods_page.php?ct=A&mk=A&gd=AA070

The idea of "more feel" is very subjective. IMO there are different kinds of feel, and you can have more or less of any of them. The popular ALC line - TBS, TB ALC, Viscaria, ZJK ALC - all have a medium-hard crisp feel (koto outer), low vibrations (some might say numb). The Maze has a slightly...

Yeah, feel free to switch TBS and TB-ALC around. They're pretty much the same bar the handle shape. Personally, if 3rd ball attacking was very important to me then I'd want a solid blade, powerful blade, and the IF-AL might be a bit limp. The TB-ALC does all offensive things well, and is...

Great site for researching blade composition: http://stervinou.net/ttbdb/liste.php The IF-AL has a softer feel than the TBS (limba vs koto), and the AL vs ALC makes the IF-AL a bit slower and more flexible. It's going to come down to your preference really, but I would say that the IF-AL...

Yes, incredibly frustrating. They're so different that they favor different styles, so we have different teams using different balls because they want to use the ones which suit them. Very messy. As things stand anyone who uses chinese seamed balls is crazy. Very high breakage rate and...
