Was it not possible to warm up with your teammates?

Mazunov is an outlier of 5 ply though, thicker and heavier than most. On paper it seems more like a 7 ply?

The general rhythm of the game is faster when I use fast equipment, so I need to be always on my toes. Could just be due to subconsious style change; I was more of a mid-table looper when I used my previous slower setup, and now I play closer to the table with my new faster setup. On another...

If they get the referee and the referee says they can film without asking me, I will comply. Not sure what is written in my local league rulebook, never spend time reading that :D The key is to push my opponent out of their comfort zone.

From my personal experience, switching to faster equipment once you are in complete control of your current setup is good for your progress. If you keep using slow setup, the rhythm of your game will generally be slower than those who use fast equipment. Slow setups are often more forgiving, and...

Oh yeah, if I am playing competitively, I always say no to filming if I am not filming, just to annoy my opponent.

After 3 weeks of training (15~20 hours), I can finally say I have adapted to my new setup and back to normal level. Going from inner-fibre + tacky rubber to outer-fiber + tensor is not a small jump. I have to adjust my techniques, be quicker on my feet, but I feel this is good because it is...

I tried the basic Rxton 1 on FH and it felt too soft, so that probably feels closest to Focus 3. It is less tacky than CJ8000, so quite close to Focus 3 in that regard as well.

There are rumors suggesting it is manufactured by Yinhe

Can't get much better than Flextra. Thin 7 ply are commonly recommended to beginners in China. The trios are: DHS PG7, Yinhe U2 and Sanwei Flextra (7).

DHS H301 series are Koto-inner Fibre. Not cheap, but not too expensive either.

In China, they used to be sold separately. Ma Lin and Kong Linghui used Globe 999 with Yunhai sponge. Yunhai was bought by DHS and they developed Hurricane 3 with the sponge, and H3 was sold as a complete topsheet+sponge rubber. This became very popular in China and that became the standard. Not...

I don't know the answer, but it could be: 1. red strongly contrast the black rubber, the table tennis ball (white/orange), and the table top (usually blue or green). 2. red rubber may be one of the most common variant at that time, so manufacturers and players can easily adapt. 3. Similar to...

OP said price isn't a consideration and 80% of the post is talking about the price difference lol

Doesn't registration cost money? Why would they do this if they are not sure about it? The only examples I can think of are the Tenergy 09c and infinity mxp. That means Loki are getting their rubbers used in ITTF events?

if you really want to play with his blade, you could try sanding it.

New Loki topsheets are now approved by ITTF. Looking forward to them!

Do you know when will they be available?

Enzo Angles' highest ITTF ranking was 77... unfair comparison.

It is probably easier to fine tune your bat by changing the rubbers. What are you currently using?
