  1. Andro NUZN50 as faster alternative of Fastarc G-1?

    Mantra Pro is described as boosted G1. XH is noticeably faster, but more difficult to engage. The spin is similar, low from the modern point of view. Less spiny than Rozena, D05 or NUZN. But it is also less influenced by the opponent's spin. Personally, I like Mantra Pro XH for offense purposes...
  2. Andro NUZN50 as faster alternative of Fastarc G-1?

    Stiga Mantra Pro XH is faster G1.
  3. Which ESN (or Jap) rubber is closest to H3 orange provincial (non NEO)?

    Nothing in common. Matra Pro XH is much faster, not as spiny and plays completely different. Andro Chintac is the closest ESN rubber to H3 OS. Not so durable, easier for looping.
  4. 3 New Andro Rubbers

    4 hours with chintac 52.5 and I can tell is not bad rubber, just too pricey for what is offering. The spin is very high, better than H3 in the summer heat. Speed is a bit higher than slightly boosted H3, but lower than XVC. Short game is better than XVC, but worse than H3, especially service...
  5. Tensor vs Hybrid rubbers

    Spend too much time with tensors. I can blame couches and TT trends, but it was my fault. T05, Xiom Omega V, R45 - too soft, too bouncy, or both. Tensors = high unforced errors. I need to be stuck with limited numbers of strikes, play only in attack and be active. Just rubbers for a specific...
  6. Post your latest EJ purchase

    I am two clicks away from buying it. Can you share some impressions and comparisons with other blades?
  7. Which ESN (or Jap) rubber is closest to H3 orange provincial (non NEO)?

    Sueke Phantom Attack II, only in black. The factory boost is gone after a month. After that need some juse. Andro Chintac has some similarities with H3, but is too expensive for wat is offering, IMO.
  8. Inner carbon blades?

    Spinlord Ultra Carbon, limba top, koto, carbon, ayous core. I have the def variant and like it. The speed is Off-, control and stability are excellent.
  9. BEST MEDIUM PIPS for both chopping and attacking?

    After EJ- ing LP and MP for more than a year, playing with robots and people, I can say that there are overall bad pips for defense and offense, and there are good ones. The trade-offs are mostly related to the hardness of pips and sponge. Soft pips have a better short game, easy available spin...
  10. Best Chinese sticky rubbers that don't need boosting

    Yes, FP is falco platinum. The massage gun is the cheapest one with cushioning ball attachment. I use a sheet of 729 super to cover the surface of the new rubber. I put the stack between 2 sheets of cooking paper and pressed with the massage gun most of the surface, from the sponge side...
  11. Best Chinese sticky rubbers that don't need boosting

    Usually, I manually press the rubber multiple times or use massage gun, before glueing to the blade. Most of the rubbers become a little more alive and responsive. For the TUTTLE 25 I can say that is not bad rubber and something different from a typical chinese stuff that we are flooded. I boost...

    Or designed to be boosted for full H3 experience.
  13. 3 New Andro Rubbers

    Chintac 52.5 is on my table: red, 2mm, measured 53 degrees shore O. No indication of factory boost. 170x170mm square, 73g with the sticky cover and 65.5g without. Sponge is dense and feels death and slow. The topsheet is slightly sticky with impressive friction on brushing, more than XVC, more...
  14. Best Chinese sticky rubbers that don't need boosting

    Sanwei Target National 3, G40, team edition, blue sponge, etc, is on the table. 162x162mm square, 68g without the protective foil. 39 degrees shore A, measured 58 shore O. Coming in a vacuum package, that appears someone forgot the factory boosting. Big negative dome, blue sponge, dense and...
  15. What is hardest sponge Chinese's rubber.

    Mark as 39 degrees shore A. My H3s BS 39 are 54 shore O, but the TG3 BS is harder.
  16. Removing glue from rubber before reusing?

    Put the rubber in water for >12 hours. The grue will become white and easy to remove. A couple more glue layers can help with the pealing in one go.
  17. Best Chinese sticky rubbers that don't need boosting

    I was able to spend some play time with TUTTLE 25 on Goriki Danshi FH. The speed is above slightly boosted H3 BS, comparable or a bit higher than XVC. Throw angle is high, let say again similar to XVC. Dwell time is very low, and cost me a lot of effort to adjust. Level of stickiness is low...

  19. Xiom Vega China VM Review

    I bought my XVC during the winter, and can lift the ball for 1-2s same as the black H3. The sponge is not porous, but very elastic. Topsheet feel softer than H3 with higher throw. Tesnsor effect is small.
