it will definitely be the blade, butterflys innerforce alc has a very low throw compared to a wood blade like the stratus. the rubbers can make the arc a bit higher, newer rubbers have a lower throw then older gens like g-1 or vega pro, but still not as much as the blade. ps: the low throw is...

i had this with all the rubbers from that generation, i used normal revolution no.3 glue back then and no boosting or stretching. i played with nittaku g-1, c-1, vega pro and baracuda. before i switched to vega x, i played with mx-s and was suprised that this rubber layed flat after removing...

pretty normal, all the rubbers from that age are doing that, same with vega pro, baracuda, genius

i think fan needed a less demanding and sensitive rubber to adapt to the harder condition in german clubs like different tables, different floors, less time to practice and warm up. could imagine that he starts to play 09c on both sides just for the german league and switches back when he is...

you can try suke instead of sueke, it is nearly the same glue but easier to get

i worked with different glues on the same rubbers and there is definitely a difference. as somebody mentioned the thinner smelly glues like revolution make the rubber softer and sometimes a bit faster. the thicker glues like nittaku, dhs and the new glues by andro and tibhar (pro glu/ power glu)...

for me the rxton 9 feels actually harder compared to their h3bs counterpart after boosting 1 layer. but also depends what sensitivity you have, some feel more the topsheet some more the sponge and i am more the sponge person. i am with @latej that the topsheet is a bit more elastic then h3 and...

looks like new beginner rubber to me. they share the same white sponge as the other beginner rubber in the vega line (intro & elite) i think that is a great idea, since most beginner rubber are a bit outdated. elite is too soft and intro too slow. i mostly advise for vega euro, but even that is...

looks a lot like the ovtcharov but with ZLC instead of ALC. would be brutal fast! maybe with softer wood for a better touch? btw: no shade to omar but i really don't get why to build another blade for him, while they have so many good players on team butterfly and a lot of really good woman...

@doppelmoral you tested the vega china and recently tested the rxton 9 that i play too. can you compare those two? i thought of switching to vega china after your review on your blog, because i am pretty new to boosting and had some mixed results where it is sometimes quite hard to switch...

some people are more sensitive to equipment changes then others and if you are the lucky one that doesn't care as much as you described, then the question between blue sponge, orange sponge, provincial and national is a bit meaningless. just go with the cheapest option you can find both for...

i made the switch to a chinese rubber from hybrid tensor and it took a while, especially if you play league. as @mamedium said you will have some things that will not work anymore or at least are not as easy, so you need to really look at your game AND the games you mostly play against and...

rxton 9 is pretty hard to play even with booster. but easier to play then hurricane 3 boosted. i only need one layer for rxton 9 while i need two for hurricane. nothing for beginners and even intermediate. you need to have a solid form and footwork to get the best out of it

the red version is the provincial version and has a more porous sponge. for me it played a bit boring compared to the normal national version in 39 or 41. less of everything

one of the fastest 5ply blades back in the days, so in this case overkill for a charity. i would give it to a young tabletennisplayer too :)

if you play close to the table in a wheelchair it makes total sense to have a blade that has a good basic speed but is not too hard in the higher gears. so a fast flexible blade would be the best. stiga allround classic and timber 5 ALL are way too slow, especially combined with rakza 7 soft...

block/drive to their FH. at one point they will play to you FH or middle and you are ready for that

never had this problem with esn too, only had it once back when i played with butterfly rubbers. they crumble on the edges if you chop short. anyway you mostly wouldn’t play them long enough that it would create any real problem

who wrote joola tronix line or tenergy 19? those rubbers are not in the mentioned list so why bother? hammond z2 is way harder and faster then hybrid mk and mx-s (53 vs 47)

i think you misread the answers, you need a soft topsheet and not a soft sponge
