  1. Tenergies losing grip fast

    Hi all, To restore grip of a rubber you can use WD40 , 2drops on the rubber surface (or 1 short spray). This works very well for natural rubber sheets (like Genius, Sriver ...) Check out the thread : This info will save you a lot of money

    i would suggest a Stiga Tube Allround WRB wood with on the FH side a Yasaka Rakza 7 (regular, not soft), 1.8mm , or a Tibhar Genius (regular also, 1.8mm). BH side i am really not so sure for you, maybe a short pimple ?
  4. Timo Boll series - What are the differences?

    I have to confirm what Carl says about the Butterfly blades being overpriced. I have found that an all wood blade of good quality can do the job for us amateur players , and even a lot of world top players play with an all wood blade. I am very pleased with my Stiga Tube Allround WRB (an all+...

    i used normal lamp oil paraffine, i put just one layer of paraffine on the sponge with a brush (maybe 2 teaspoons of oil, really not much, just to cover the sponge with one thin layer)), let it dry for an hour , just 3 drops on the topsheet, rubbed these in evenly on the surface with my finger...

    ok now back to some useful info on boosting to restore ols rubber i succesfully restored a Tibhar Genius (red 1,8mm , the standard Genius!) with paraffine on the sponge and on the outer surface, the Genius was really completely inable to generate any spin now i would guess it has 90% of its...

    I also had a Tibhar Aurus Soft 1,9mm red but now i have an old Tibhar Genius (Standard version) 1,8 mm red and the Genius has a lot more spin and control , the Aurus is faster but i prefer the Genius by FAR !!! The old Genius had almost no more spin in it !! But i used my trick with WD40 to...
  13. pips or no pips?

    let's just get rid of the stupid pips, it brings nothing interesting to our sport, just throw away the pips and start playing real table tennis with inverted rubbers (how many pips players in top 100 ?)

  19. What is the best alternative for Tenergy 05?

    Adidas is just another name for the same ESN Tensors , so there is nothing new created by Adidas. When you would do a blind test of rubbers you would feel no playing difference at all between all the ESN products (Joola, Tibhar,Andro, Donic ...) !! Adidas brings nothing new to table tennis material.
  20. What is the best alternative for Tenergy 05?

    Adidas has no history in table tennis (they do have in tennis for example). Adidas just went to some rubber manufacturers (are their products ESN tensors ?) like ESN and ordered some rubbers with their logo on them. They just did some marketing on their "new" rubbers and tadaa , Adidas is a...
