  1. Tibhar Hybrid MK review

    Got in a training session with the Hybrid MK's on my BalsaCarbo blade. Felt great, but I am missing some top end speed, probably down to the blade. Also tested my other setup yesterday (Stuor Long V clone with Xiom Vega X both sides). More top speed, much less control over the table, but thats...
  2. Big Shoes for Table Tennis

    Looks like you have to go online and see what you can get. I have size 50 EU (before I lost weight I needed 52~53 for the width) and I can exclusive get shoes online here in The Netherlands. I'm currently playing with a Mizuno indoor sportshoe, which is marketed as a volleyball shoe...
  3. Does a slower blade with a Viscaria-like feeling exist?

    Everyone has a weakness. If mine turns out to be cheap Aliexpress tabletennis blades, I think I can manage fine 😂
  4. Does a slower blade with a Viscaria-like feeling exist?

    All I can say about that is that the Stuor Long V clone is a great blade for its price. Quality is good, it even has sanded edges on the arch of the grip, and plays well with the right rubbers. It convinced me enough to buy a second one and may have kindled a new EJ bug in me 😂
  5. Tibhar Hybrid MK review

    Don't know the blade you mentioned, but the way to go seems a hard and fast blade for the Hybrid MK's. OP of this topic switched to faster and more nervous blade too for the Hybrid MK. If your blade is hard and fast, Hybrid MK is a solid choice it seems
  6. Does a slower blade with a Viscaria-like feeling exist?

    You can always give some cheaper Stuor blades a try. Got one atm (Inner-ALC, DHS Long V clone) and that feels amazing. Got a Viscaria clone (with new style handle, cloned of the Viscaria Super ALC) coming soon. Stuor offers all sorts of blades, inner and outer carbon, different types of...

    Ordered another Stuor blade, that hopefully pairs better with my Tibhar Hybrid MK rubber. Outer ALC, Viscaria-esque, handle cloned of the Viscaria Super ALC (but with regular ALC composition it seems). Got Xiom Vega X's on my Stuor Long V clone which seems like a wonderfull pairing. Gonna take...
  8. Tibhar Hybrid MK review

    Matches went okay, but something was missing in the overall experience, felt a bit mushy. I've now reglued the Hybrid MK's to my Butterfly BalsaCarbo X7 since thats a bit stiffer than the Stuor blade. Looks botched, because the rubber doesn't reach the sides, both frames having a bit of weird...
  9. Tibhar Hybrid MK review

    Got mine in the mail today, Black Max on FH, Red 2.0 on BH, on a Stuor Long V clone (inner ALC). With my first time glueing I did a bit of a bad job on the FH, so have to reglue that side. Lovely combo, lovely feeling in the blade. Needed very little time adjusting, little more on the BH side...
  10. Anybody tried Lemuria blades?

    Never tried Lumuria, but I have a Stuor blade waiting for rubbers to be put on it. From what I heard Stuor and Lumuria are in the same water selling clones of name-brand blades, but Stuor being of a higher quality level. Haven't tried my blade (Stuor Long V clone, inner ALC) yet, but from...
  11. Do you apologize if your opponent misses a serve?

    I can stand by this, to my experience in the Netherlands it's common to say sorry or put up a quick hand when your opponent misses a serve, although not everyone does it a 100% of the time. Speaking for myself, I do it too, but it's more of a courtesy sorry. The sorry for a missed serve is...

  13. Life, Existence, and the Meaning of Long Pips - The Opus Maximus of James Z

    I suggest you look into the workings of world cups of traditional sports, on the top of my head I can name basicly all track and field sports and ice skating as examples where the qualification system is very similar to this one. To be frank, it seems like this qualification method, country...
  14. Life, Existence, and the Meaning of Long Pips - The Opus Maximus of James Z

    I'm not sure if you are being slightly sarcastic or really want to make this point, but anyways. Germany got to send 5 players to the World Championships. One of them is injured and can't go. They replace the injured player with the next inline German player. Lin and Yuan were never in this...
  15. Tibhar Hybrid MK review

    Thanks for the review, this sets my choice on the Tibhar Hybrid MK.
  16. Tibhar Hybrid MK review

    Interesting to read, if I understand correctly you had to adjust your BH from looping to more blocking and punching? If so, how would you rate the Hybrid MK on the opening up / lifting a backspin ball from both FH and BH?
  17. W968 envy forced me to get HL5 clone

    I've got the same blade in the mail today, waiting for the end of the month to buy some rubbers for it. Have good hopes for it, I am gonna pair it with Tibhar MK Hybrid on both sides most likely. The one I received weighed in at 90gr on my kitchenscale, still in the plastic seal. Looking...
  18. Tibhar Hybrid MK review

    I am knee deep in researching my next set of rubbers and I stumbled across your reply in this thread. I am currently using a Rasanter C48, mainly used it on my FH, but due to the same problems with opening up you described I started switching it to my BH, with a Rasanter R48 on the other side of...
  19. Victas V15 Stiff/Limber vs Nittaku Fastarc C-1

    Thanks for the reply! Thats something thats been on my mind yes and it seems like that durability and price will swing the decision towards the Fastarcs! Thanks for the reply! How would the V15 Limber compare to a T05FX? From what I know is that the V15 Limber is even softer than the T05FX...
  20. Victas V15 Stiff/Limber vs Nittaku Fastarc C-1

    Hi guys, Was wondering if anyone on here could make a comparison between the Victas V15 Stiff/Limber versus the Nittaku Fastarc C-1. Comparisons between the V15 Extra and the Fasarc G-1 are easily found, but for their softer brothers I couldn't find one. The setup would be G1 FH and C1 BH or...
