First of all, @FrenchFrog33, apologize for us hi-jacking the thread. Since you put a link to Dubina's video, it has become a fair game now. Not making up excuses or anything.... Got it. Did not know that Alex table tennis is based in Canada. I am with you on the Fukuhara thread. I guess some...

I mean after one whereabouts violation, you would think you would be careful. After two wheareabouts violations, you would be walking on thin ice. I heard from some people commenting on stimulants to help with focus and concentration and some sorts of steroid (I am just guessing) that helps...

I only got hold of that piece of news when I visited Alex Table Tennis forum which is based in Australia. The funny thing is on that forum, Samson Dubina thread got like 64 posts while the Ai Fukuhara thread got a grand total of....drum roll please.... 8 posts. Here, on TTD forum, that Ai...

Ouch B- is not good. I have another black sheet that I have not opened yet. Maybe I should try it. I remember that the original black sheet I had (before the blue sponge fell apart in front of me) was like B+/A-.

I did not watch the video. I agree with you that C1 is better for most beginners and intermediate players. G1 is better for people with higher skill level to control it. However, I have gone back and forth between C1 and G1 without a problem. I like G1 definitely on a wood blade. I like C1...

Do you want to start a thread on that? I know and you know. But lots of people here don't know about that on this forum.....

Butterfly makes you think that the glue makes a difference. Butterfly website says that Free Chack Pro II is "optimized" for Dignics and Tenergy rubbers. Is that true? I don't know. I don't think so. I have used Donic, Neottec, and Revolution N3 without an issue. In fact I had a bottle of...

I run my own business so $50 or $100 is a waste of my time. I rather buy both and just try it out (or get it in bulk from TT11 and get 30% off). However, I get it. For some people, money is tight. So whenever there is a deal on Dandoy (like $26 for Xiom Vega X or $18 for H3), I would like...

I don't see a big problem with people asking questions about boosting. Because for the most part, the discussion is quick, simple and ends right there. What I have a problem with is people asking about which rubber to choose. And after each forum member renders an opinion, then there is a...

I don't think there is a "correct" way to boost. I would personally pull the rubber off, add another layer of booster (not bothered with the glue already on the rubber) and add another layer of glue, and stick it on the paddle. Voila. Done. I have heard of people boosting their rubbers with two...

Yes, when I tested out AK47 and CJ8000 on BH, it does not have bounce or catapult effect. I just cannot play that on my backhand so I am back to testing various soft ESN rubber. My blocks just keep on going to the net. Forehand for me, if too slow, not a problem either. I am used to playing...

Please let us know how the blade plays! by the way, in North America, TT11 is a bit cheaper. It has something to do with the exchange rate. Dandoy quotes in US but when you are checking out, it now quotes in Euro and I used Paypal. so then Paypal will apply some sort of exchange rate on top of...

My current BH rubber is Rakza 7 soft so that's 37-40 deg on ESN scale? My other blade has C-1 on the BH so that's a bit harder than Rakza 7 soft. I don't find CJ8000, AK 47 blue and Mercury II to be hard. Rxton 1 special edition is also quite soft actually. They just don't have any catapult...

Vega X is supposed the new improved version. But I have been on the forum long enough to see people saying that Vega Pro is better than Vega X. I currently have Vega X on one of the blades. It plays fine. Yes it is definitely harder than Vega Europe. But Vega X is bouncier too. But I enjoy...

After EJ'ing it on Aliexpress for a couple months, I think I am going to come out and say it, "Neither Yinhe or Loki has any tensor technology yet." This is after trying Yinhe Big Dipper 38 degree and 40 degree, Mercury 2 medium sponge, CJ8000 and AK47 blue. I tried Rxton 3 pink, 3 blue and 1...

What is your opinion of Aurus, Aurus Prime, Aurus Sound, Aurus Soft and finally Aurus Select? They are all availabe on TT11. How would you compare to Tibhar Revolution series? The reason I asked is that I have tried MX-P, MX-S, EL-S, and FX-P. I like EL-S and FX-P. MX-P and MX-S, not so much...

Which blade is it? The Gambler one? I have tried all of their rubbers since they said "oh-toro" is the best Japanese sponge they have. Nope. It feels dead. Zero catapult effects. And I ordered max sponge for all of them. I don't even want to say what model of rubber I got because they all feel...

I don't know. It depends on your financial situation. If you can flip it for double the price, yeah sell it! I tend to hold onto all my blades. It is just that I "might" like it better later. For softer blade, I woud tell myself, ok, I will just put Tenergy on it later on when I am a better...

It is $26 and change on Megaspin. I think the black one was $30 and the red one was $26 before? Both colors, the rubber price has come down since a couple months ago. Now compared to Hurricane at $18 and change per sheet (with 30% bulk discount courtesy of TT11), $26 or so is much more...

Hey you don't chop with Gambler's $30 blade. You are supposed to loop with it! Ok, just kidding. I use a $40 Gambler blade and I like it quite a bit! I will do a review on all the Gambler blades one of these days. The Gambler rubbers...they are not good at all. Glad you are feeling better!
