  1. What would TT brands do if ESN suddenly refused to make for them?

    It would be a risky step because ESN doesn't have any distribution channel. They would need to acquire one of the brands that is currently a customer. Something like that happened in the graphic cards business with 3DFX and didn't end well for them. I think everybody would buy from Daiki.

  3. psychological help needed for someone starting with team games.

    If it's of any consolation, it happens to pros as well. The only mental technique I can suggest is the one proposed in this video by Lee Zi-on, where she says to practice like you're playing a match and play a match like you're training, otherwise even she will freeze up.
  4. Nittaku Fastarc Series

    I am using Fast Arc G1 2.0 on my FH right now, coming from H3. I just wanted to try this rubber because it's such a classic. I like the fact that is not very bouncy and very balanced, I kinda miss the feel and the dwell time of H3, but I see why lots of people like it. With my shore O durometer...
  5. Difference between mx d, fx d and hybrid mk

    That's according to Tibhar, but in these tests actually measuring the hardness from the top sheet side, things were the opposite (the thickness was the same): FXD measured 33.5 shore A MXD measured 29 shore A
  6. Best Alternatives to Dignics 09c

    He just reads the marketing material for each product...
  7. Enjoying Tensor to Hybrid transition. Should I go full tacky next?

    I started playing only 3 years ago, so my experience is limited but H3 gives you a very particular feel and feed-back, other than the tackiness. There are people who don't like that feel, and people (like me) who love it, especially on FH, probably because of the dwell time; for BH I do like...
  8. Switching to Stiga rubbers?

    Well coincidence here's what's coming in my next step of my EJ path. I bought those nearly 1.5 years ago (they don't even sell the Pro version anymore on the western markets) Definitely DG on the FH though, I think it would be too hard for BH.
  9. Question for Tom "The Frog" about Stiga rubbers.

    Any similarities with the old Genesis 1 or 2?
  10. Is there really a difference between ESN hybrid rubbers?

    According to these 2 tests C53 is a bit bouncier than K3, the top sheet stickiness measured pretty much the same.
  11. What's a good Chinese bh rubber?

    I can tell you about a Chinese rubber that I did NOT like on bh and that's Tinarc 5 soft (33 hardness). I do like H3 on my fh and I was just curious to try a DHS rubber on bh as well. The problem with Tinarc 5 is that while the sponge is actually soft (measured 41 with a shore O durometer, from...
  12. Two new Cybershapes from Stiga (Clipper & AC)

    What are your impressions, if you tested it?
  13. Two new Cybershapes from Stiga (Clipper & AC)

    Any idea of the weight of the Clipper Cybershape with a FL handle? I have a Clipper with the Legend handle and I love the touch of it but it's 98-99 grams :(
  14. Uprgrading to a faster and spinnier rubber

    I'm using the Tibhar FX-D on my BH on a Stiga Rosewood 7 NCT. It's definitely not slow, actually very good for BH punches, the top sheet is grippy, so the spin level is high. It's a bit slower than Andro R45 but the top sheet of the FX-D is grippier (you don't have to engage the sponge so much...

  16. DHS 37d rubbers for bh

    What hardness for the H8?
  17. Rasanter R45

    I wish. Maybe we should start one online as a collaborative effort😀
  18. Rasanter R45

    I have used the R45 (max) on my bh on a Stiga Rosewood NCT VII, and my conclusion is that it has too much catapult effect for my liking. That's subjective of course. Especially after 2-3 months and the sponge starts to be loose, then it's difficult (at least for me) to execute shots like...
  19. WTT Champions Frankfurt 2023

    Definitely there's a problem of audio sync in the Highlights videos. I wonder how they even publish the videos in such condition?
  20. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    I guess the H version should be pretty similar to Nittaku Hammond Z2?
