I think those blades (Jpen) also use a lot of hinoki or cypress. And they might be made in Japan where the labor costs are higher. Finally, maybe lack of demand has something to do with it? Meaning, the manufacturers might need to charge a higher price per blade to make their money back but then...

Great. Please let us know how Vega Korea plays. Yeah, one layer of boost is good enough for Revolution rubbers and all ESN rubbers.

"Crytocarbon?" That sounds like marketing. But when you get the blade, please let us know how it plays! I like Tibhar blades. I have recently been focusing on Gambler carbon blades though. I have been distracted.

The OP was last seen in Dec 2022 so most likely he is not on the forum anymore. I used to play J penhold. Then my coach failed spectacularly to add backhand smash to my repertoire. The way he taught me backhand smash just never fit in with my body and my style. So we added long pips on the...

Yeah everyone is different. I am glad you like EL-D. I think I will like EL-D more than MX-P. I have a sheet of MX-P somewhere. I find it a bit too hard for my taste. I also tried MX-S and did not like it. So if given the choices of the three new Revolution rubbers (or relatively new), I would...

Awesome. Can we view Chinese Super League matches on YouTube somewhere?

Do you mean Xiom Vega Europe? If so, it is a very soft rubber. You will like Rakza 7 soft (as you have on the other blade). I think people here generally agree that Rakza 7 is a better rubber than Rakza X (slightly better). Rakza 7/Rakza 7 soft/Rakza X/Rakza X soft are all very very durable...

See. That's why the OP needs to play with equipment and see if he likes it or not. I think Donic Persson Powerplay is faster than Tibhar Power Wood but you think it is the other way around. I don't like Donic Waldner Senso Carbon. It has this hollow sound that I don't like. I agree. out of...

I got mine from TT11. Please see below for the link. Very very good price. It is an older blade but again, just because it is old, it does not mean it is not good. https://www.tabletennis11.com/other_eng/donic-persson-powerplay

Yes Mercury II spin is as good as H3 or H3 neo. Mercury II maybe is about 80% of the speed of H3? With heavy boosting that speed gap might be smaller.

Got it. Thanks for your feedback. Yes I got 40 deg (not 41 deg) Big Dipper. Yes I agree. 40 deg is too hard. I could not get much spin out of it. I will consider trying Big Dipper 38 deg later!

yes I have three: Haifu sea moon regular, Haifu sea moon national yellow and Falco Tempo Long. I will keep 729 Aurora MAX and Loki GTX Pro in mind for the next shipment. This shipment I will be curious how Friendship 729 Battleship II pro blue sponge plays. I have heard some good things for...

Yes, I will let you know about Bo Carbon, Stuor Harimoto and 970 alc. I just need to wait for a few weeks for them to arrive.... Compared to TT11, Aliexpress is slow..... Yes you are right. The Big Dipper is 40 degree and I found that too hard. I might give Big Dipper 38 degree a try another...

Great! I am using Rakza 7 soft right now on my BH for my Gambler Blackout carbon. I have a Xiom Vega Euro on the back of my Nittaku Acoustic carbon to slow it down. I will see how I like AK47 blue 38-40 degree. I rather error on the side of soft than hard. I realized a couple of the carbon...

Yes, from my purchase of Yinhe Big Dipper 41 degree, I realized that different manufacturers from China have different scales. I just purchased the softest and go from there! I am not looking to replace my forehand rubber, H3 neo 39 degree. I am still in search for a good backhand rubber so I am...

I have Bo carbon (original version), not Bo 2 carbon. I like Bo carbon fine. I just could not get as much spin on the ball as I would like on the serve (compared to Gambler Blackout carbon) so I stripped its rubber and moved on. Yes once I get the shipment I will see how 970 ALC plays. I got...

Yes if you said it is not worth it, then I am not going to get it. I just have to figure out how long it takes them to deliver. I ended up getting stuff from four different stores (stuor2017, table tennis store, BEO and DHS store). BEO is good. I have used BEO in the past. We all know that DHS...

Ok, I ovespent. It ended up to be a $300 order. Stuor 20 New Table Tennis Blade ZLC Inner Carbon (Harimoto clone), Stuor 7 Ply ALC Carbon Fiber (Viscaria clone), YINHE 970XX-A (from ironically the DHS Table Tennis store), Sanwei T88 Ultra Spin, 729 Friendship BATTLE 2 Provincial Blue Sponge...

Lol, glad that you dumped your old girlfriend and you do not want her back! By the way, I just set up a wood blade DHS G8. And it has a LOT more vibration than Tibhar Stratus Power Wood. So if you don't like Tibhar Stratus Power Wood for its vibration, you will hate DHS G8 (and probably all the...

You mean Yinhe 970XX-K?
