Agree. I have been working my way through the Xiom Vega series. I think in my head, I have some stupid calculator. If I am going to pay certain of amount of money, I expect certain amount of performance. For example, AK-47 and Big Dipper are not that expensive. But for that price I was...

You are welcome! Since budget is a concern of yours, I rank them a bit based on affordability. Xiom Vega Asia or Japan would be my top recommendation for you. They are very affordable. C-1 is the closest thing to Rakza 7 soft. I rank EL-S, EL-P, EL-D last because they are the most expensive...

Ok, so you and I like the same thing. My suggestions: 1. Xiom Vega Asia or Japan. Both are a bit harder than Xiom Vega Europe. And both are a bit more catapulty than Europe. I find Japan's top sheet to be softer and slightly better quality. But I like both. These two would be the most budget...

Do you like soft, medium or hard rubber on your backhand side? I used to play with G-1 on my BH side when I used 5-ply wood blades. Now that I am using carbon blades, I like softer tensor rubbers such as C-1 and Razka 7 soft. If price is an issue, no need to get Tenergy or Dignics. I have...

My comment was half joking. I do have a sheet of Dignics 09c. It is ok. I still like Hurricane on my forehand. I have not used K3 but yeah, on this board, many said that K3 durability is an issue. However, with 30% bulk discount on TT11 and on Dandoy, you can probably buy roughly two sheets of...

Agree. They just need to ask a table tennis player who changes his or her rubber just one time and the answer is, "do not launch this product!"

He just won WTT tournament. I guess Tibhar K3 is better than Dignics 09c!!!

This is not written by a kid in Shanghai. Once I read Killerspin being rated as top blade, I just closed my tab and stopped reading.

Gambler Pure 7, it is all wood. I am in the process of testing like 80% of the Gambler blade available.

In what way does Falco destroys japanese sponges? Also would you boost Butterfly rubbers/sponges with Haifu seamoon then? Thanks!

Go to thePongProfessor page on YouTube for the answer to your question. He loved loved National Yellow and hated hated National Black. For me, I have tried Haifu regular, Haifu National Yellow and Falco Tempo Long. Honestly, all three are about the same. I will get Haifu regular for the cheap...

I have always used 39 degree Hurricane 3 commercial orange sponge from TT11 for the past 4-5 years (TT11 only carried 39 degree sponge for the longest time). I am used to it. When initially boosted, it is not that impressive. After you break it in and then reboost it again a month or so later...

Please tell us if you like the set-up!

The dirty little secret that no one has told you yet: hurricane....boosted.... On a more serious note, I think 5-ply wood is the way to go for any player to learn how to play ping pong and how to loop. Xiom Vega Pro is a good rubber. It is like a toned down version of Tenergy 05 and has a lot...

I would not get Glayzer 09c. I have two sheets and neither of those two sheets is on any blade right now. That's who much I like or dislike Glayzer 09c. It is not much of anything. It is not spinny like hurricane or Dignics 09c (I don't know who said that the top sheet is very tacky). It has a...

First serve, I am not sure if the ball drops enough or was tossed high enough to be legal. And the first serve, there is so many movements without any...well...spin. Yes for people new to ping pong, the first serve had all these extra movements and it looks good. But no spin at all....

Start off with the cheapest, H3 neo commercial orange sponge, boosted with 2-3 layers and see if you like it. Only if you like it, then try something more expensive. Backhand in terms of ESN rubber, you like it soft and Joolan Aruna OFF blade is too fast, then Xiom Vega Europe. Then if you want...

I played for years on Tibhar Stratus Power Wood which is a 5-ply wood blade. Then I played Donic Persson Power Play for a couple months after that, which is a 7- ply wood blade. Donic Persson Power Play gives me almost the same control as Tibhar Stratus Power Wood but a bit more power. I think...

I played with my friend's DHS Long 5 carbon. I also hated it. I don't know. Too much vibration. But yet I did not have enough feeling on the ball. Everyone's opinion is subjective. You need to try it to see if you like it or not. One friend still plays with his DHS Long 5 carbon because he got...

I would be third person to recommend Donic Persson Powerplay. Agree. It is a 7-ply that plays like a 5-ply but a bit faster than most 5-ply. I am not a fan of ALL or ALL+ blades for beginner. I think one should have a fast enough blade to advance through various rubbers along the way. Tibhar...
