  1. New FH Rubber (Glayzer, Fastarc G1, Omega VII Pro)

    if you play the HAL and think it is too fast then you could easily switch to a normal 5ply blade. since the handle of the HAL is inspired by butterfly handles, you could look into something like Korbel or Primorac. edit: (also looking at the fact that you play rubbers that are already more on...
  2. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    i bought the new loki rxton 9 pro and will compare against the normal one (both with one layer of booster). bought it on alibaba for 25€ incl shipping, so still a cheap rubber. i was interested since they invented a new topsheet for this one and i always felt that, after the boosting effect is...
  3. 1.9 vs 2.1 dignics 09c weight difference and other differences?

    normaly rubbers have less bounce, less spin, better passive game and more feeling for the wood (sometimes they can even feel harder) when you go thinner. so if you are an aggressive two wing looper as you say then just stick with 2.1 and ask butterfly to send you the lightest version. i think...
  4. Big Upset with W968 Golden Grand Slam Version

    i know someone that uses VOC glue as a temporary seal. he puts voc glue, waits one hour, then one layer water based glue on it and normal glue procedure with water based glue two layers on the rubber. but you need to do it everytime you glue new rubbers on
  5. Any blades still in production similar to Xiom Hugo HAL or Butterfly Moonbeam?

    maybe you mean stiff instead of hard, because i played viscaria before i moved to HAL and HAL is way softer and more forgiving for me, but it shure is way stiffer then some inner carbon blades i tried that felt harder but flexier
  6. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    but now you changed the argument. from the perspective of looking through the wtt players (opponents of sabines) eyes you are right that she and her anti is the exception. but your post was about looking through sabine eyes onto the players she faces. i mean all of her wins are all about...
  7. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    making a case out of an anomaly is not scientific, but shure you know that already. my analyses in this match: I would argue that short pips have an real advantage against spin reversal style rubbers like anti and long pips due to not being able to generate as much spin on their own and the...
  8. Looking for a Fh Rubber

    wow 191 answers for the search of a FH rubber. you are a lucky man that you didn't need to pay for the amount of engagement you got
  9. My Butterfly Dignics 09C Review: Why I think that most amateur players should avoid it

    one thing i would like to add: i feel that hard and sticky rubbers like d09c, h3n (or rxton 9 that i play) are way harder to play against pimples or anti, because they always need acceleration, confidence and rhytmn and that is exactly what defensive players wanna take away from you. and since...
  10. Equipment Advice

    hey ash, i think you can switch to easier to play equipment if you don't find the time to practice anymore. but i would advise to only change one thing either rubber or blade. option 1: you can use your viscaria and instead of the dignics you can choose glayzer that is an softer and easier to...
  11. DHS Hurricane 3 Neo: The Complete Amateur Guide & Review

    i ask about it, because rating is actually not visible just by looking at someone play. it is the overall ability how someone can perform on weekly basis against all kinds of players. some players with good technique look like 2000usatt, but play like 1600, because under pressure and against all...

    can you add a video of your play? would be nice to have some sort of idea wich level you are talking about and what technical abilities you mean
  13. WTT Champions Doha 2026 Jan 7-11

    i don't know if anyone did ask before, but why are there no people in the ranks?
  14. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    i am really excited about that switch and totally understand the connection to the south american market. i like the new campaign and love the new logo and aestethics. a good win and addition for team joola and fresh wind in tabletennis! thank you @Matt Hetherington for your insights :)
  15. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    hugo's personal blades are made with an ayous core instead of kiri like in the commercial ones, so there is a difference besides the weight (hugos blades are around 94g, commercial ones 85g) personally i don't care about that and think it is actually better to have kiri core and a lighter...
  16. Returning player (AR+/OFF–) looking for versatile rubbers for Xiom Hugo HAL [no longer: Cybershape Wood]

    because vega pro is a bit easier, bouncier and less spin sensitiv and cheaper, but you could play with either or because that is really minor and especially if you are developing! all those things like sponge thickness really doesn't matter as much as you think, if you still need to get the...
  17. Returning player (AR+/OFF–) looking for versatile rubbers for Xiom Hugo HAL [no longer: Cybershape Wood]

    regarding the sponge thickness: that is purely a preference thing but in my opinion if you wanna play with spin, just choose max thickness and don't care about anything else. if it is to fast, get a slower blade. if you play more flat without spin like a blocker or a hitter you can play thinner...
  18. Returning player (AR+/OFF–) looking for versatile rubbers for Xiom Hugo HAL [no longer: Cybershape Wood]

    i think you are overcomplicating things a bit, you have a faster blade hence the reason why you struggle. take the donic persson and slap both the vega x on it and you will be fine. you shure can make tiny micro adjustments too and go to nittaku g-1 (actually better would be vega-pro) and get...
  19. Xiom new collection (2026)

    i hate this new ai player thing too. looks cheap and disconnected from tabletennis. and do they only have LSS left as a sponsered player? what happend with all the others? seams like they are heading towards a fashion brand rather then equipment.
  20. Modern high arc/throw tensor or hybrid rubbers

    yes you could use rakza z wich s higher throwing then g-1, but you also overcomplicate the whole thing. as many said before, put you g-1 on it first, compare the feel and what makes the blade different to your old one. then you can analyze and start changing. if you just slap a hard and sticky...
