To the US/Canada, free shipping unless noted. 10% import tax. So it is common to see Hurricane 3 neo advertised for, say, $21.50. Then once in a while, I see Hurricane 3 advertised for $17.80 and every single time when I click on it, it will tag on $3-4 per sheet of shipping so I have to look...

Ah that makes sense now. Yinhe blade has weird weight or weight distribution that I just cannot put my fingers on. Now that you said it, it makes sense! Well, Stuor better keeps its Kiri core. I will be honest. I am surprised that people memorize the composition of a particular blade and can...

Great. We agree! So it is not all in my head. I feel bad because all these blades are cheap so it is like we are arguing over $40-$50 blades (compared to $160-$350 for Butterfly blades). However, if you are going to buy something you better enjoy it. Yinhe blades are also more expensive, with...

I will be honest. I do not like my Stuor Harimoto ZLC. It is too slow which I am a bit shocked. I like slower carbon blade but it is too slow for me. However you might like it if you are coming from all-wood. I really like Stuor's quality more than XVT and Lemuria. I have three Stuor Viscaria...

Cute video. No way I am waking up at 4am to go play ping pong at 5am.

Three sheets of H3 neo blue sponge provincial since I recently got one sheet of H3 neo blue sponge national and really liked it. Stuor CNF clone and Lin Yun-ju clone. Tibhar K2 hybrid black and red. I had a sheet about a year ago and I remember I quite liked it. TT11 then stopped carrying it...

Agree. Waldner cannot say that.

Both Aliexpress and TT11. Rest be assured, I have been disappointed. I mean yeah 2 sheets here and there seem super tacky but the rest, not much so.

The new hurricanes I have been purchasing on the market are not that tacky. Do they have the special super tacky hurricanes?

I played G-1 for four years on my wood blade. Since I changed to carbon blade, I have switched to softer rubber with some catapult effects. For me G-1 and Rozena are very different rubbers. G-1 is harder and linear. Rozena is softer and somewhat catapulty (but not as catapulty as Tenergy). I...

Why did they take down the video?

I have used only orange sponge commercial, 39 degree. Recently I ventured into 40 degree and it is an adjustment. I need more power but I am totally surprised how much harder the 40 degree is compared to 39 degree. I cannot even fathom trying to play 41 degree or 42 degree. That being said, I...

Agree. The new pips really are not that disruptive. The spin back in 38mm celluloid ball was insane. Now people loop a relatively no spin ball and stare at their rackets thinking it is the rackets' fault. Lol, there is not that much spin on the ball to start with!!! I am 100% fine with LP. I...

A few thoughts to share: @Takkyu_wa_inochi did an awesome job finding it on the list of ITTF approved rubber @Scarfed Garchomp did an awesome job identifying it as 388D-2 green. But to be honest, the photo is a bit blurry. Maybe we are 60% sure it is 388D-2 green? The interviewer seems to...

That is one cool video. Lol, I speak Chinese. I agree the end of the video is shady. I am glad that someone identified the rubber as Dawei 388D-2. The interviewer asked for the blade. They showed him the Butterfly website. Lol! I have bought some rubbers from Aliexpress where it has ITTF...

Do you mean Nittaku H3 neo still has tacky topsheet while the DHS hurricanes have not-so-tacky topsheets anymore?

Ok, I tried Rxton 3 pink and Rxton 3 blue before. I did not like it. But that's because I only test it on my backhand and my backhand is used to soft, bouncy rubbers like Rakza 7 soft, Xiom Vega Japan, Rozena and BlueFire M2. And because I used it on my backhand, not forehand, I did not know...

I used G-1 for many years on a wood blade. It gives enough power. It is very linear. It does not have that much catapult effect. I don't know who has been telling you that Rakza Z/X/7 are all similar. First of all, Rakza Z is a hybrid rubber while X and 7 are not. Rakza Z is somewhat slow...

Does that apply to orange sponge too? I only have one sheet of 40 degree commercial orange sponge. I like it. I have only played 39 degree before so I am still getting used to 40 degree right now.

I guess I should get my hands on an Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC blade!
