It is the coach's idea. But I am not the one paying rent and everything. Coaching in N. America really does not make that much money. Training is also physically taxing so if he needs to make some money on the equipment front, I cannot blame him. I own a small business myself so I know how much...

No, you are not wrong. From EJ'ing for a couple of years, I started realize blade also matters. So on wood blade, I like 47.5 degree or harder ESN on the backhand side. On carbon blades, I like soft soft ESN. And every time I play with different ESN rubber, I can tell there are slight...

Yay! congrats! Yes EJ'ing is costing me a lot of money. Oh well....

I don't know what is the shipping situation in India. Let us say you buy bulk from TT11, then H3 or H3 neo would go from $26 to $20 a sheet. But you need to order $300 so you need to get a few people together. However right now Dandoy in Germany is running H3 regular for $18.50 a sheet. That is...

Good for him! I really cannot believe, in a niche market like table tennis, Butterfly would pay enough for Lin to continue his collaboration with them. Timo Boll ALC is so ingrained in many Butterfly users. I am sure Timo Boll is making heavy sum of money from Butterfly. But Lin Gaoyuan, Lin...

I have the regular Nittaku Acoustic carbon (not the inner carbon). And it was too fast with T05 fx and T64 fx on the blade. I had to tame it down with hurricane 3 neo on the FH and Xiom Vega Europe on the BH. I like it. I use it mostly for doubles right now. I am busy testing various rubber...

Great! thank you! I have been using Rakza 7 soft on my backhand on a carbon blade. I plan, on a separate carbon blade, but same model, put C-1 on it to compare. Maybe I will eventually try Rxton 1 plus too. Yes I agree. Rxton 1 seems like a good rubber. Easy to control. I like the feel of it...

I saw Tenergy for sales on Aliexpress for $15. I am like it is fake. When I read the review, I cannot believe some people actually bought it and left review that it is fake. I mean, what do you expect? $15 for Tenergy? But $62 for Tenerg in Vietnam? That sounds legit.

Yes please give STN a try. It is blue sponge, whatever that means. I have not tried blue sponge hurricane but the blue sponge on STN plays very well. I am just not using STN because it is not tacky enough (compared to H3) but it is definitely tacky! I think STN is tackier than say Big Dipper. I...

Ah...got it now. For non boosted, I would recommend Sanwei Target National or Provincial. But they are priced a lot higher than LAC. Maybe I should try Loki Arthur China. What do people think about other Loki Arthur products like Loki Arthur Asia and Loki Arthur Europe?

Lol, I am getting confused by all the EJ'ing here. I would still go back to hurricane instead of finding a replacement. I don't think I am ready to try Loki's product yet. For me, LAC is priced higher than hurricane so I would go back to hurricane any time of the day. And the tackiness on...

Yeah, I agree. That's why I said, if someone has played with a rubber for more than a month, I probably want to get it for free if they really want to part with the rubber. When my club coach said $30 for the lightly used Tenergy and Dignics, I am like...I will just wait for my friends who use...

He looks so good. I can hardly imagine he is outside of top 300 in the world.

cool video. The title says that Chen Wiexing is world ranked 9th place. I think that is a while ago. I think it was Adam who said that the pro's who have played with him feels bad and does not put full force on it. I think it is the same as Chen Weixing. It is pretty clear he did not play that...

When you say "cheap" equipment, how cheap are you talking about? I have Butterfly Viscaria and Nittaku Acoustic carbon. They are $150+ blades. My current favorite blade is $40 Gambler Blackout carbon. I have tried a couple ESN and hybrid rubber on my forehand, and I kept on going back to...

I have tried K2 (before TT11 discontinued it) and K1 european version. Definitely K2 is spinnier and more tacky. K1 European verson loses its grip pretty fast. I have not paid up to try K3 yet. I have ordered some rubbers from Aliexpress and they still carry K2 in China, for like $32-36. I am...

Got it! Found it! I like Sergio's pricing a bit better but all the customizations can add up with Sergio. Sergio said that he is backed up for about six months. Both OSP and SDC look like work of art. Once I order them, I think I should frame it instead of playing with it :) :)

They have Hurricane 3 on their special right now (regular hurricane) for $18.50 a sheet. They also have Rakza 7 soft on special (which is my curren favorite backhand rubber). Finally I picked up Rasanter R47 and Xiom Vega X on their special too. Usually I go with TT11, but I am not ready to...

There is no pricing on the website? How do you purchase their blades?

A couple thoughts. Yes after boosting regular H3, along with H3 neo and H3 Skyline neo, I agree. I think neo is just a a sheet of glue! They say neo is factory pre-tuned, so then why is everyone still boosting it? I got a shipment of H3 regular coming in from Dandoy and after three booster...
