Don't know what your style is but for me I flick and counter loop on BH a lot so I'd prefer something medium hard. Dignics 05 and 09c are too hard for me, they require tremendous strength to activate the catapult. Maybe you would love the Xiom Jekyll&Hyde V47.5, currently it's the best BH rubber...

Yes quality shoes have softer soles so it don't last long as cheaper ones, same goes for Mizuno Wave Drive 8. If you want longevity shoes you can get Lining, they are much more durable but the soles are a bit harder

Stiga Liner III is the best you can get, I am wearing them, no differences than higher price Mizuno, European pros wear it too. Also Lining APPP005-3 is a great budget recommendation

K3 durability is a bit short, if you can pls try Stiga DNA Dragon Grip, it is a similar but better rubber than K3 in terms of control and spin, the price is lower also.

it's just a matter of feeling 😁 I think Battle 2 Pro is a bit livelier

I have played all those rubbers, the Bloom spin and Bloom power is easy to play, bouncy enough if I hit light loops, but when I hit hard it does not feel crispy as Battle 2 Pro. Big Dipper feels too dead to me

I don't think of any reasons beside it's just a little more elastic, more bouncier but not much. If you have Battle 2 National it's the best Battle 2 to date

Review guys: I played with it for 1 session (3 hours - loop practice + 4 matches), it is very much like Battle 2 Pro, with a little more bouncier, maybe the same as B2 Pro Golden and a bit less bouncier than Battle 2 National. Creating spins is somewhat easier due to its more elastic sponge, but...

I got 1 in my hands, package looks beautiful, sponge is very dense and elastic, probably more catapulty than Battle 2 Pro, Topsheet is similar, just semi tacky

wait for Battle 3, it's on sale in China

Yes, learn more techniques but just stick to your prefer playing style as you feel comfortable. Table tennis reflects our personalities after all.

Guess I won't get the blue sponge at the moment because I'm more interested in testing Battle 3

I found this Blue sponge Jupiter 3 Pro, looks great https://www.prott.vip/Product-Details.aspx?productcode=Jupiter3BLUE&fbclid=IwAR0Ui2c_LvmWqXiRrIpQwRB08kxA9Z4rqEJerAeVb_L5snuGdmSQqeCEZuQ

Not yet, I am the first one to buy from that retailer, will give you reviews after I get my sheet

I think Battle 3 will play the same role as Battle 2 Pro - according to the retailer I bought from - B3 speed = 13.5 (B2 = 12), B3 spin = 13 (B2 = 12). Sounds like a boosted B2 Pro

Yes, more correctly, a local retailer in Vietnam got ahold of 5 sheets from 39 and 40 degrees (mayby test samples as you said) and I bought 1 from him.

I ordered 1 black sheet with 40 degree hardness, few more days I'll give you a review. The price is a little higher than Battle 2 Pro Golden here Update: review on https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?28561-So-Battle-3-is-on-sale&p=387644&viewfull=1#post387644

yes I usually return 3rd ball with long heavy backspin to let opponent open loop first, then I will counter it with BH (more often) and sometimes FH (less regularly). If you find it hard, try to switch to a harder rubbers, they are better at counterlooping

seems I have some issues with J3's consistency. The first day it was very fast, and the next day it lost its bounciness, some shots bottomed out. My friend also bought one and he boosted it, he claimed that it's much more stable if boosted.

Seems like the J3 41d will suit me better, unfortunately I can only find 40d version. For the Big Dipper I don't like it, it's very dead
