  1. New Forehand rubber

    V22 is supposed to be 50 deg whereas C53 is 53 deg so not much room between them. Have you tried V20?

    I feel that Rxton 5 is a tad harder than what I want. Are there other Chinese rubbers that you are happy with their hardness without any boosting?
  3. Is EJing good for improving?

    Topspin (brought to you by moden inverted rubbers) is definitely a crutch, it makes late hits below the table a lot safer.
  4. Is EJing good for improving?

    I prefer to hate Butterfly/DHS users than LP users :D But at the end of the day people should be allowed to play whatever style with whatever equipment within the rules. If they don't want to improve and rely on equipment, beat them and enjoy your victory!

    well it's name in Chinese is 赤龍 I.e. red dragon, so :D Although it doesn't make sense that a hybrid rubber isn't readily available in black, surely they know most tacky rubber users prefer black rubbers on FH?!

    My Rxton 5 doesn't feel very hard despite being marked as 41 degrees, and I seem to have the new package. Brace yourself...
  7. Should I stick to the ALC blade as a beginner?

    I think ALC blades are fine for advanced beginners as long as you don't pair them with ultra fast rubbers and you are training properly (with a coach).

    Try buying it from a different place, maybe the shop you bought from just have a bad batch? If LAC bubbles that easily, we'd have heard that from other users as well.
  9. Nittaku SO-TEN & GYO-EN

    【Nittaku新品底板晓炎|高颜值高性能高性价比?|老遥瞎打乱评系列|器材测评-哔哩哔哩】 https://b23.tv/ivZ4NJZ It's similar to Carbonado 45, zx gear out, LGY ALC etc. outer Fibre blade that focus more on consistency and control rather than absolute power.
  10. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Try put some sidespin on your opening loop and see if it messes up the rhythm.

    I think you'd need to be the better player to consistently get your opponent's punch back, it's a very aggressive shot. I'd focus on making it difficult for them to do the punch, rather than getting the punch back. Most players have a sweetspot for punch, see if they struggle more with punching...
  12. I need more warmup

    Hi all, I have been training more seriously than before in 2023, and I found that 1) I need a long time (>=30 minutes) to feel properly warmup. Before that I felt ready for matches after 5 to 10 minutes of knocking 2) I am less tolerant of random feeds during warmup. I am moving my feet and...
  13. Xiom Vega Korea Review

    Can anyone compare it to Vega Tour?
  14. Why does ML use soft 37d rubber on bh?

    manufacturer reports sponge hardness. When you hit, you feel the topsheet and sponge, possibly some of the blade (could be eliminated from the equation if you put both rubbers on the same blade). In addition, durometer measure hardness at a given force. It is a point on the indentation-force...
  15. Why does ML use soft 37d rubber on bh?

    Hardness comparison only really makes sense if the sponge is the same model, so comparing H3 with D09c is meaningless (not to mention the topsheet is also different, which contributes to the "feel").
  16. Why does ML use soft 37d rubber on bh?

    LJK allegedly uses 41 on BH, not 37. Maybe not just booster, the CNT seems to prefer to have very thick glue layers (4 or 5 layers) In addition the topsheet thickness needs to be taken into account. Ultramax only exists for Rasanter because the topsheet is designed to be thinner. Not sure how...
  17. Why does ML use soft 37d rubber on bh?

    I have never played with Tenergy but it's seem to be spin sensitive as well. My guess is H3 makes it easy to do a slow and spinny counter topspin, which tensor rubbers/ tenergy are not as good at - they are better suited for aggressive counter loop. Leave some room for boosting so they don't...
  18. Why does ML use soft 37d rubber on bh?

    ML doesn't play BH as aggressive as most other players, instead he varies the pace and placement of his BH shot to mess up his opponents' timing and rhythm. I guess H3 37deg is more suitable for such style than Dignics etc., which are great for attacking but not as good as taking pace off the ball.
  19. Are there any 42 degree+ hardness Chinese rubbers?

    Donic Bluegrip C1 is 60 deg in ESN scale, that should be the hardest on paper.
  20. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    DHS's sponge is considered the best among Chinese manufacturers (with booster), whereas 729 is considered to make the best (tacky) topsheet. Wang Hao and Guo Yan are getting the wrong parts lol
