If you are looking for comfortable, cool looking (different color) table tennis shirts, I highly and only recommend Andro T-Shirt Alpha Melange. Please see the links below for various colors and people's reviews. There is NOT a single bad review. Best table tennis shirt on the market. I have...

Hurricane 3 neo commercial is still the best bang for the buck. Despite the top sheet not as grippy as before, we agree that there is something special about the sponge that after you boost, it feels nice. The sponge reacts differently from the ESN tensor sponge or Butterfly Tenergy/Dignic...

I agree with Xiom Vega series. I would suggest either Xiom Vega Asia or Japan for FH, and Xiom Vega Europe for BH. 2.0mm sponge.

My feedback is H3 neo commercial version some have tackiness and some have no tack. H3 neo provincial blue sponge has good tack, almost like before but still not quite. I have converted to H3 neo provincial blue sponge now.

I like Stuor blades. For the money, it is very well constructed. I like their Viscaria clone, fast. ZJK clone is good too. However, I do not like their Harimoto clone (too slow) and Long V (also too slow to me). I don't expect their blades to play like the original. Again for the money they...

I second Spinfire since I love it. However you already played with Firestorm and you did not like it. I played with my clubmate's Moristo SP and I could not play with it. My impression is that it is too wobbly and hard to control. I like to play short pips like I play with inverted. A lot of...

I am impressed by the amount of doming you accomplished with just one layer of booster! Go ahead and play with it. And see if you like it. If you are not happy and you want to peel it off, just add another layer of booster. I agreed @TensorBackhand you do not need to peel off the glue in...

Sponge thickness (or lack of sponge i.e. ox) might matter more. Just be aware that once you add sponge to the long pips, its wobbly and spin reversal effects are going to be a lot less. So you have to attack with your long pips. You cannot just sit there passively and block. Have you decided...

Congrats to the hurricane 3 club! Yes, start with orange sponge is a great idea! I would put one layer of booster (it will then change shape slightly). Wait for 24 hours to apply another layer of booster (that's when it will dome up slightly). Then wait 24-48 hours before gluing the rubber...

Agree when boosted orange sponge is softer and more springy than blue sponge. Commercial orange sponge does not have a grippy top sheet anymore. I would just go for the commercial orange sponge to try and see if you like it. Now with the top sheet not grippy anymore, I don't think it is harder...

Go to tabletennis11.com Apparently Hurricane 3 neo provincial blue sponge 40 degree does come in red. It is out of stock on TT11 though. Sanwei Target National comes in red, max sponge. It is blue sponge but Sanwei formula is probably different than DHS formula. Sanwei Target National is a bit...

Lol, don't tempt me. I recently suppressed my EJ virus pretty good. I don't want to reactivate it!

Here is my experience and my conclusion. I played with Hurricane 3 commercial orange sponge for 4-5 years. Boosted each one with multiple layers. Loved it. Last year, middle of the year, I got two sheets of Hurricane 3 National orange sponge. Hated it. Thought that it was too hard, like a...

Not sure. Mitzutani seemed to be able to carry a mixed double's pair. Harimoto paired with Hayata, it seems like Hayata has been carrying the pair. That is somewhat weird. The male player should be stronger and open the attacks more. But Harimoto's game is based on countering.

If you don't want as little vibration as possible, take a 7-ply Donic Persson Powerplay. I have two of this blade. Fast but yet all-wood feel with little to no vibration. I personally hate vibration.

I agree. Rakza 7 is still the best all around rubber. And it lasts like forever! Rakza X, I agree, is a bit faster and harder than Rakza 7. Maybe the projectory of the ball is a bit flatter. If the OP is searching for more power, then get Rakza X. Xiom Vega Pro is also the same generation...

I just checked about HWSport. Provincial blue sponge is priced at $50 or so right now on Aliexpress.

It is my experience exactly. For a while I was transferring rubbers between blades to test out different blades. I would boost hurricane 2 layers and ESN 1 layer (like Xiom Vega Japan or Rakza 7 soft) etc. Each time I boosted those rubbers, they expanded a bit so I would need to cut the edge...

What is your budget? Forehand I would recommend either Xiom Vega Pro or Xiom Vega X. Xiom rubbers are not as durable as Butterfly or Yasaka rubber but good enough! And you are not going to break the bank on either Pro or X. I like Pro a bit more. Xiom Vega Pro does play like a toned down...

Lol, maybe the rubbers will help him develop better strokes since the ball will not just shoot off the paddle like a cannon! :) :)
