They are very different rubbers. For me, the AK47 series are speed oriented rubbers while the Hadou40+ is spin oriented. It doesn't feel like a typical chinese tacky rubber. Overall it's a little softer, the topsheet is very different and the sponge has a different texture than B2 or H3. Out of...

Timo boll also withdraws from doubles. Portuguese pair on cloud nine

Conspiracy theory time: maybe japan poisoned Timo's food...

This commentator is something else, first with the Gacinni now it's Tomislav Putsar

Liang JK went to the same hairdresser as Chen Meng. I guess it paid off!

Simon just made a lot of people happy. Now everybody in the bottom half is pumped up to reach the final.

Even two rubbers from the same brand and model can be different. 1.5mm will play differently than max, a one year old rubber will produce much less spin than a fresh one. Some players use rubbers so old that they are almost anti. I'm not against using different colors but i just see this as...

Nice win for Geraldo, 4-3 against Omar Assar

Man, what a game. I really like Timo Boll but was rooting for "Gacini". Timo got very lucky in crucial moments in the 4th and 6th sets.

I also get your argument and agree with it. But it's funny that ITTF gives so much spotlight to Maze, with photos and articles on the front page, put then doesn't broadcast his matches.

I think it was only 3 questions. I didn't see all presentations but i feel it's like David vs. Goliath, it's very difficult for us to beat China and Japan.

I borrowed the ZJ ALC from my friend and played a league match on saturday and a tournament on sunday. The blade is what i was looking for, speed wise very close to the TB ALC but with a softer feeling and better feedback, and also a much more comfortable grip in my opinion. So i'm gonna stick...

It's so close to my home but it's a shame i won't be able to attend, i have the weekend packed with competition.

I agree there are more injuries in TT but not because of the changes made to the game, but because it's the natural evolution of sports. Athletes are working harder than ever in every sport, if you want to be the best you have to train to be the best, relying on natural talent is no longer an...

I will try the ZJ ALC with my rubbers. My friend is willing to sell it for 100€, it is in very good condition so i think it is a fair price. I would love to try the Crest Ar+, but 105€ for something i'm not sure i would like is a bit much for me.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I guess i will ask my friend to try his blade with my rubbers, it's the safest choice.

I know Viscaria,TB ALC, and ZJ ALC are supposed to have the same structure, but i tried my friend's ZJ ALC and it is significantly softer and i also prefer the handle. He is willing to sell it, maybe it's a good option. However i could get the Ovtcharov no.1 for less and maybe it would suit me...

I've been playing back and forth with these blades. I love the control i get with the WSC but miss the speed, with the TB ALC i have the speed but miss the control, i wish it was just a little softer. I've read that Viscaria feels a little softer than TB ALC, is it true? These are some of the...

Portuguese championships are also this weekend. I will play singles and doubles. Out of the big names only Andre Silva and Diogo Carvalho are coming. I think Andre will win.

The Waldner Senso Carbon is a limba outer blade with nice feeling and relatively cheap. If he wants more speed in the future just upgrade the rubbers.
