  1. Anyone try Stiga DNA Hybrid yet?

    Nice. Have you tried the Rasanter series? How do you like the R series?
  2. Should I give up using tensor on backhand?

    I have a Tibhar Hybrid K1 European Version red. It is still tackier than most ESN rubbers but yes that tackiest wears off quickly. It is also not bouncy after a couple weeks. I would rather get any of the Evolution rubbers than K1. Now K3, I am a bit intrigued by that. But at that price point...
  3. Carbon vs ALC/ZLC difference?

    I don't know if it matters exactly what carbon. Butterfly used to use T5000 carbon to produce some of the fastest blades at the time. Then it moved onto ALC/ZLC and now Butterfly is promoting super ZLC. Then CNF and ZLF came out. It is all very confusing. At the end of the day, you just have...
  4. gewo rubber

    Let us say I am not jumping to get another Gewo sheet. I have moved onto the Xiom Vega series and so far I am happy with the price to performance ratio. Not interested in moving up to Omega V or Omega VII series. I mean so far Xiom Vega Asia, Pro and Europe has fulfilled my need for certain...
  5. SDC Handmade Blades

    I use hurricane on the FH side and catapulty ESN rubber on the BH side. So that eliminates the need for combi blades. Also I have one combi blade. I don't feel that it confers any advantage to just use different rubbers on both sides.
  6. Anyone try Stiga DNA Hybrid yet?

    I have not. What have you tried lately? I am really curious because you have been asking about different equipments so I am curious what you like or not like about certain rubbers. I have tried a lot of stuff lately. I am waiting when my EJ'ing slows down before posting something.
  7. gewo rubber

    I have a sheet of Gewo Nexxus EL Pro 43. I like it ok. It is a bit softer than 43 degree when I play it. The catapult effect is not as much as Rakza 7 soft/Rakza X soft or Revolutions FX-P. So that Gewo rubber is not on any blade right now. I am waiting to put it on a spare blade at some point...
  8. New blade

    I have Tibhar Fortino Performance. I really really like it. It is not my main blade right now. The best way to describe it is, it is like Tibhar Stratus Power Wood but faster with the same amount of control. It is an inner blade. It is relatively light. It is only 6.3mm thick. I would highly...
  9. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    Thank you for the heads up. If I can bother you, what would be the chinese characters to type in for, say, Tibhar? And Yasaka? And finally Nittaku? I don't use Stiga rubber. I am experimenting with some Gewo and Victas rubber. Next is Donic and Joola. But I think I will be mostly interested in...
  10. DNA Dragon Grip - how is it?

    Agree! It is just that the EJ virus inside of me pops up at times still. And now hurricane is not as tacky as before, I am thinking about alternatives. I have gotten some TG3 neo and TG2 neo. Yes they are just as tacky as before but they are not as fast as H3 neo. Well, you win some in life...
  11. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    Taobao is like Aliexpress, except it is in Chinese?
  12. Joola Zhou Qihao Super AL-c 90 review

    Can you get a second blade from the sponsored player as a back-up? If you can, sign me up for one as well. As for Super ALC v.s. Super ZLC, do Joola and Butterfly source from the same place or their super ALC vs Super ZLC are fundamentally different?
  13. Hello from Germany

    Welcome back! Hurricane is a great fine choice to restart back on the table. May I tempt you to switch your backhand to an ESN tensor rubber?
  14. My Personal Guide to Rubbers on Aliexpress

    Lol, don't tempt me. I am not getting GTX.
  15. DNA Dragon Grip - how is it?

    Yeah, I have tempted to try K3 for a long term but I just have not pulled the trigger. I have a feeling that I will like Hurricane better. Right now I have a Battle II blue sponge prep'ed for a blade. That is my last attempt to EJ on my forehand. I have a strong feeling that I will like...
  16. How to reglue a recently glued and boosted H3N on a new Blade

    Why one layer of glue on, say, Xiom Vega Europe, and let it dry, before putting on a layer of booster?
  17. Stiga Cybershape, is it good?

    I have a $11 Sanwei due ot your recommendation. I have not put any rubbers on it because I am busy EJ'ing other things. I tried a clubmates Stiga Cybershape paddle. The feeling is ok. Nothing special. Nothing too good or too bad about it. However, due to its angles, I find myself distracted and...
  18. Switched from soft rubber to hard rubber

    Three things: Serve with the new rubber, do some FH and BH drills and try looping with it. I think try looping with it is the best way to get used to a new rubber. Try to loop with a light brush, i.e. using the top sheet only, and try to loop with the sponge engaged, i.e. loop drive. Do both...
  19. Super shot by Chinese Taipei Junior

    Surely with short pips on one side and anti on the others, plenty of opponents are annoyed. She might as well change that anti to long pips to annoy her opponents even more :)
  20. I wanna play with the big boys!

    I cannot help but make the following comment: If somebody will pay me one billion dollars and tell me that I will lose every single table tennis match going forward for the rest of my life against every single player on earth, I will take the one billion dollars :) :) Hehe....
