  1. Reboosting rubber

    I am sticking with hurricane. I am tempted to try D09c but not now. I have tried K1 and K2 before. K1 was barely tacky. K2 was good but no longer sold outside of China (it is still available on Aliexpress). I am tempted to try D09c or K3. But that's about it. I am not interested in Stiga Dragon...
  2. Reboosting rubber

    Got it. Thank you for the feedback. So D09C is a better deal because it is much more durable than K3.
  3. Butterfly Jun Mizutani ZLC (Rubber suggestions)

    C1 is slightly less spinny than G1. However, if your new blade is super fast and the ball just shoots out of G1 on your new blade, you are better off using C1 so at least there is some dwell time. And if that's the case, C1 will be more spinny than G1 in your case. Yes, I really do not...
  4. I'm starting to test Sanwei Target Pro Blue

    Please see below for the review on 2nd generation of Sanwei Target National. My previous black sheet of STN (silver packaging, ordered from Megaspin) performed quite well before its blue sponge crumbled when I tried to transfer it to another blade. Oddly enough, my red sheet I did not like it...
  5. Butterfly Jun Mizutani ZLC (Rubber suggestions)

    I heard that MJ-ZLC is very very fast. My suggestion is not going to be very popular. I personally would not recommend EJ'ing and changing two things at the same time. With the thought that MJ-ZLC will be harder and faster than DHS Long 5 (commercial), maybe go with C-1 on the FH and Rakza 7...
  6. What's the worst blade you've ever used?

    Thank you for asking. I have been busy testing the ESN rubbers on my backhand so have not spent as much time as I should on the new blades. I like Lemuria ZJK blade the most. It is a bit faster than my usual blade so I will need more time with it later. Like you said, I also like the touch of...
  7. Blade feel

    It could be defective. Or maybe it is too slow for you. I don't touch any ALL+ blades. I have owned 6 Tibhar Stratus Power Wod and it is solid OFF-. I have not had any that felt defective to me. Now I own 6 Gambler Blackout carbons. They all feel pretty good to me too. I am EJ'ing different...
  8. stubborn in disobedience of the rules. Bad example to follow.

    Ovtcharov has been called fault on his serves many times. Not sure about nowadays. He has been playing very poorly lately that I don't really follow his matches that much anymore. But he used to throw his ball side ways. It is very distracting. Some serves I would even say he is kind of throwing...
  9. What's the worst blade you've ever used?

    I think it is a combination. There is no way I am touching any ALL+ blade wit 10 foot pole. OFF- is my sweet spot. People just play differently. I am also another person who does not see the appeal of Viscaria. I have got several $30 to $40 blades I prefer over Viscaria but that's just me.
  10. Reboosting rubber

    Glad that it worked out well. Is H3 the new version? Do you feel that the recent sheets of H3 are not as tacky as previous year of H3? Also how do you like K3 v.s. D09c? I have heard good things about K3. But K3 is not very durable. I am just wondering if that's true or not.
  11. I'm starting to test Sanwei Target Pro Blue

    Please see the link below. I think the new Target National is with silver packaging. I got mine from Megaspin. I liked it. I still one sheet of black. Maybe I just like the low throw angle. I have see the price keeps on dropping on Megaspin. At $25 a sheet, it is not a bad rubber to try...
  12. What's the worst blade you've ever used?

    Ma Lin carbon is not that bad. It is just a slow carbon. The worst blade was a Juic Chinese penhold blade, rated ALL+, about 20 years ago when Paddle Palace was promoting Juic brand hard in the US. I don't remember the name. I properly purposefully lost that blade about 2 weeks into owning it...
  13. Cho Daesong Blade?

    Isn't Harimoto personally using Harimoto ALC? I thought that has a bigger head size. Maybe I am wrong. Is Harimoto personally using Harimoto ZLC?
  14. Reboosting rubber

    I think you will be fine. When I boost my ESN rubbers just with one layer, some of them barely dome at all.
  15. Need Help Choosing a New Forehand Rubber (pls)

    Why would you have Tibhar Evolution MX-P50 and Xiom Jekyll & Hyde V52.5? Do your parents play table tennis (and that's why they forced you to play ping pong? My thought is that if you don't use either rubber and your parents will use the rubber themselves, then consider alternatives. For those...
  16. H3 not so tacky?

    I have a couple sheets of H3 neo that are not as tacky as before (I forgot if the shipments were from TT11 or Dandoy or both really). They play alright. They are still tackier than say G-1 or C-1 or Rakza 7 soft. I only play with commercial and I have heard that National H3 is slightly less...
  17. Aesthetically, what’s the most beautiful blade in your opinion?

    SDC blades as well. They are beautiful. I hope to order one from Sergio but he said the waitlist is six months right now. I am going to focus on bling bling out handle with lots of customization :) :)
  18. What Glue should I use?

    I agree with that. I said that before and people do not believe me.
  19. DHS fans unite!

    Lol, I have a sheet of Gewo Nexxus EL Pro 43 ready for my BH. Will install that tomorrow once the forehand Hurricane is done boosted with two layers of boosters. I had a shipment of several Gambler Blackout blades that just arrived so I can truly test these ESN rubbers properly on my BH side. Do...
  20. Aesthetically, what’s the most beautiful blade in your opinion?

    MJ = Mitzutani Jan? I thought you were talking about Michael Jordan for a second! My vote is Harimoto blade by Butterfly. I like the fact it is a slower carbon blade. The face is a bit bigger than usual (for Harimoto's blocking purpose). And the handle is gorgeous. I don't own one but a friend...
