if you look at TT11, Donic BlueFire M2 is a very popular rubber on the first page. I think the hardness is just right so it is easy to play for most people. Yes it is suitable for new plastic ball. When I play against new players whose spins and strokes I am not familiar with, I do heavy...

I boosted one sheet of Dignics 64, 1.9mm sponge. Nothing happened. I did not feel that it played any better or not. In general, I find Butterfly products too catapulty for my game. I boosted that sheet of Dignics 64 to soften it up for my backhand but no, it is still pretty hard. So I ripped...

I have a sheet of Rozena and I feel like it is as soft as Rakza 7 soft or maybe a bit softer. If the OP does not like Rakza 7 soft, I don't think OP will like Rozena. I am glad @Fedex78 likes M2 as well. I only bought M2 because I know I like medium soft rubber for M1 might be too hard for me...

Tenergy 05 forehand and Baracuda backhand, or the other way around? Thanks!

I have a sheet of K1, without a blade. The sheet is just sitting there because it is not that springy and it is not that tacky. So what is the point? I used K2 a year ago when TT11 still carried it. It feels fine. I liked it. But I don't like it that much that I would get it in Aliexpress. I...

C-1. A bit harder than Rakza 7 soft. Great durability. Donic BlueFire M2. Harder than Rakza 7 soft for sure but not as hard as Rakza 7.

Anyone going? Also I saw Quadri Aruna on the player's list from like a month ago! Then his name disappeared. Anyone knows he is going to US Open or not?

Unfortunately at my club, I see plenty of Timo Boll ALC and Viscaria. The club coach is not big on Fan Zhengong ALC. Everyone is Timo Boll ALC and Viscaria by default.

Resurrecting this thread. So H8-80 37 degree is springy like an ESN rubber or not quite? H8 is more like H3 neo? the reason why I asked is that TT11 is pricing H8-80 like an ESN rubber at $33.86. With that amount of money, I can get a Xiom Vega Asia or Xiom Vega Japan, both of which I like...

I do have a Fan Zhendong ALC. But it is for collection only. I plan to resell it new later. If I get tempted I might slap a couple rubbers on it and try it. Right now I am still EJ'ing a couple different things. I bought Hurricane National when it was on sales at Aliexpress so that is on my...

I know many people post here make it sound like if you switch one side to long pips or anti, you will end up beating everyone at the club. The truth is somewhere in the middle. I used to play long pips on the backside of the penhold. It is really not that easy. You have to retrain your muscle...

I think when you compared Butterfly Tenergy/Dignics and ESN tensor with Mark V or Sriver, you can easily see that there is tension built into Tenergy/Dignics/ESN tensors. Now does the effect dissipate? I don't know because I am pretty sure an one-year old Tenergy sitting there, out of the...

That is a great piece of news. I owned a Viscaria a few years ago and it is just too hard for me. The ball bounces off without much bite at all. I am glad the newer Fan Zhendong ALC is softer!

I did not know that. I would hope someone can answer your question and my questions. Some people say, well, they just slap another famous person's name on it so there is no difference. Maybe that's true. I would be curious.

I am actually really curious as to the answers too. People say that many ALC's are of the same construction but there is slight difference between them: Timo Boll ALC is slightly faster than Viscaria. Then I hear that Fan Zhengdong ALC has a slightly thicker inner core so it should be faster...

I think it is intentional. After all, it plays better now straight out of the package since it is less tacky then before. I don't like that though. I like tacky tacky hurricane so I can break it in and use it for like a year or so. And since it is less tacky, we probably need to buy more...

Why did you move away playing H3 neo 41 degree unboosted at the end? So I have looked into my inventory. Yes I have two sheets of H3 neo 41 degree, both are red. Now I am sooooo intrigued......

I have bought plenty of hurricanes in the past year. 1) agree The new H3 neo is not as tacky as before. 2) Some sheets are tackier than others. That's a quality control issue with DHS. 3) So I have kept some sheets that are tackier on my main blade and transfer the less tacky ones to other...

It depends. Do you want to have fun or do you want results? I have a couple blades with long pips, medium pips and short pips on them. I use them very sparingly at the club. But when I try to fool around, l want to loop or chop block or chop from far away from the table, or lob, I still go...

Why do you have three? For collection or? The reason is that recently I have bought a couple Butterfly blades. I refuse to put rubbers of them. They are for collection only so I will see how well that goes. I have been using cheap blades and I have been pretty happy with my cheap blades.
