  1. Long Life to Hybrid Rubbers 🏓 🙌

    I have heard that it is as good as D09C, any experiences that you could share? Thank you.
  2. What’s NOT good with Rozena?

    You forget the psychological boost people get when they are using Butterfly! You can't get that with Palio rubbers, where most of your club-mates just go "what is that?" :D
  3. Anyone have a sneak peak of Glayzer yet?

    I would have expected the g09c to not be dead, since it is softer. So it is not fast at all then?
  4. What’s NOT good with Rozena?

    I think with proper technique, any modern inverted rubber beyond premade quality can produce decent spin. How much "decent spin" is would be quite subjective and level-dependent.
  5. Anybody have success boosting ESN rubbers?

    Try boosting harder tensors?
  6. Anyone have a sneak peak of Glayzer yet?

    330 RMB is the catalogue price, the author of the article estimated the actual price to be around 250 RMB. This would make it slightly more expensive than Donic Bluestorm, but slightly cheaper than Andro Rasanter and Tibhar K3.

    That's when the slow spinny brush loop is very useful; the spin makes it difficult for the opponent to attack and the slowness allows you to recover for the next shot.
  8. Anyone have a sneak peak of Glayzer yet?

    https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/612356419?utm_id=0 Recommended prices (price on catalogue, usually higher than actual price) are (all in rmb): T05: 628 D09c: 668 Glayzer: 330

    Let's decompose it. Your opponent flat hit your shot and put sidespin on it. 1. How do you return a flat hit? I would say you need to open up the bat a bit, add some topspin yourself, and then block/drive it back. Or if you can wait for it to slow down a bit and actively topspin it (you would...
  10. Asking advices for backhand

    that's a pretty wide range of sponge hardness.
  11. What year did Hurricane 3 come out?

    729 is a brand, which rubber were you referring to ?
  12. New Hurricane King for Wang Chuqin

    I am not saying the blades are similar. I am saying their marketing/business strategy is similar - selling essentially the design but as different products based on quality.
  13. Anyone have a sneak peak of Glayzer yet?

    It is probably slight better/same tier with Rozena. I don't think it is a disappointment, people were just expecting too much. Glayzer should be compared to tensor in the same price range, not Dignics or even Tenergies.
  14. Anyone have a sneak peak of Glayzer yet?

    there's probably some tensor that fit the bill already.
  15. Aliexpress has big annual sale in 1 week. Are you getting something?

    The blade is from Playa Ping Pong, rubbers from Hi-Sport. When I bought the blade it's 11.2 GBP, which is cheap enough for me.

    Flar drive would mean giving the ball speed but not spin, looping would mean giving the ball both speed and spin (unless it's a brush loop). So Looping would require more kinetic energy, hence faster arm acceleration. Although in reality it's more complicated than that.

    If I am playing a practice match with my training partners, I refrain from doing serves that could win the point right away (e.g. maximum backspin serve), or serves that they would frequently mis-read. I tend to do serves that prevent them from attacking first, so I can practice my opening up...
  18. New Hurricane King for Wang Chuqin

    Definitely. Butterfly is the most successful TT brand, their business model is working well. My favourite brand, Yinhe, is copying DHS, by making Pro 01 - Pro 01 X - Pro 01 MAX, similar to Fang Bo Carbon - Long 5 - W968 i.e. essentially the same composition but better quality. In addition, all...

    One of the difficulty about serve return is that you need to find people to serve to you. Whilst I practices regularly with similar level players, I almost always hold back on my serves during practice, partly to not give it away :D
  20. DHS Hurricane Long 5 vs Butterfly Harimoto Innerforce ALC

    Multiple?! That's really impressive. Would you mind sharing which one you participated in?
