i never played innerforce, but know many people that do and can tell you that these blades are not meant for the midrange. you can go faster and get yourself an outer carbon blade, maybe something easier to play like Freitas ALC or Outerforce ALC, but since you change equipment quite often i...

yes you are right, the older generation of hybrids were all closer to chinese. most of them have been discontinued or are not available in europe like hybrid k2. from the ones left to buy i only tried rakza z extra hard and for me it felt a bit more lively, more tensor style with a way higher...

a really good rubber with it‘s own DNA! kinda like a mixture between a strongly boosted chinese rubber with a pinch of esn bounce and feeling. such a relief to go to the training hall and not worry about the loss of booster effect, because this rubber plays the same all the time like G-1 and...

a good tabletennis sealer does not change the feeling, i even tested this with my own blade and only sealed one side and used two red vega x on both sides and it felt completely the same. i even gave it around in my club and asked who can spot the sealed side and most agreed that they can not...

zlf is a really good blade, similar to the blade i play Xiom HAL, but it's discontinued and they not made a replacement yet. so i would try to stay with the blade and just use older generation rubber like xiom vega china or rakza Z extra hard. both are really dead in comparision to dignics 09c...

yes, you are overthinking this. play faster when you want to play faster, play slow and spinny when you want to play slow and spinny

fastarc g-1 and vega pro are the longest lasting ones, but both don't have the kick, katapult and dynamic that mx-p provides. something like victas ventus extra and xiom vega x are closer to the playing characteristics of mx-p but easier to play and last longer too, but not as long as something...

ma lin carbon is pretty slow for modern tabletennis. just try any innerforce ALC type blade and you will get a similar gameplay, just faster

where do you read he played at 3rd devision? i could only find him play at verbandsoberliga nord that is 6. division and with ttr only around 2000 wich is pretty low considering that you want to go way higher. find yourself a coach that has at least 2200-2300 ttr and actually played 2nd or 3rd...

for me butterfly always had a different feeling and if you like it then it is quite hard to find elsewhere. some other japanese produced rubber come close like nexy etika or stiga mantra series, you can try them and maybe like them even more, but they still have their own DNA. it doesn’t matter...

i tried vega china and was really suprised! it plays nothing like any hybrid i tried expect maybe for joola golden tango, but this rubber is discontinued and i tried it over 5 years ago. it doesn't feel as hard as the sponge would suggest, because the topsheet is heavily stretched so the ball...

many people i know still play tenergy and they all say that the quality of rubbers went down over the years, same with people playing d09c. so i would say the durability is coming from old times and is not an argument against esn anymore, because g1 and vega pro can outperform tenergy nowadays...

i play and like to play with chinese rubbers and they are not even remotely like any tenergy. you are better of with cheap esn like vega pro or other japanese rubbers like stiga mantra (pro) then with any chinese alternative. btw ak47 are total crap compared to something like vega pro and only...

my harder shots had more spin than the slower/softer ones wich felt a bit weird since my slow openings get blocked out of the table really often and the harder ones not. same with my serves, the most spinny ones are not as effective as the ones where the deception is greater then the spin i can...

did a screenshot in the livestream of ittf just because i saw that his blade has koto outer instead of limba that is used in the commercial and professional version of the blade

first look at rxton 9 pro 39°: the most notable difference is that it is really elastic! kinda feels like an hybrid esn sheet in hand, but very hard around 57 esn scale. don't get me wrong here, it is still dead like a chinese rubber with no bounce at all and you will need booster, but i can...

rakza z is a good rubber, but a bit too slow and the hand feeling the rubbers creates is not good, feels muted. all those softer hybrids have problems with power generation and i think a normal rubber would be better in that hardness. if you go harder the picture changes and i think something...

tbh you should not care about chinese techniques or anything alike, if you have coaches around you you should visit them and listen to them! they can help you 100% because the basis is anyway the same
