  1. Sanwei Hyper Gear vs. Sanwei Target National for Forehand – Which One is Better?

    They're quite different rubbers with different aims so it's not really to say which is 'better'. The Gear Hyper is a high control semi-tacky rubber with enough speed to play offensively and isn't too bouncy either. It's not a particularly fast rubber and it's not one you'd use to defend either -...
  2. Sanwei Echo and Parla review - 2023 new all wood table tennis blades

    Nice! Glad you found the review and the blade useful for your game!
  3. Review: Sanwei Target National - Player Edition (Gordanga)

    Target National rubbers seem to last forever in my experience, even if they're heavily marked....! I definitely take feedback on reusing the marketing phrases from companies about their products though worth noting that Sanwei has different brand name recognition in different places. Since the...

    Well, it's excellent fun! :D
  5. SANWEI NEW three blades, Surge series.

    Think they took copied it from Sanwei's website - that comparison visual is on each of the Surge series pages :D https://sanweisport.com/en/product/blade/surge-series/prism-inner-alc-blade/
  6. Review: Sanwei Target National - Player Edition (Gordanga)

    I've only had the 37° version sent to me so I can't share more considered thoughts on that version yet compared against the STN. Based on Sanwei's numbers, the 39º should be similar speed to the STN with less spin potential in exchange for more control and a slightly higher throw angle
  7. Review: Sanwei Target National - Player Edition (Gordanga)

    Lighter than a cpen cut Stiga DNA Hybrid M (47g) too! I even made sure to cut this Target to the standard Shakehand cutting. When I had the DNA hybrid M (with a cpen gap cut) plus xiom vega euro H on the DHS fang bo b2x cpen with some grip tape on the handle = 196g My review setup weight is...

    Weighed it now - 55g uncut. 41g cut.
  9. Review: Sanwei Target National - Player Edition (Gordanga)

    Good reminder! I just need to get the weighing scale and do a bit of math. Uncut weight is 55g
  10. Review: Sanwei Target National - Player Edition (Gordanga)

    😆 I definitely struggled with the super low throw angle of the Target National. This one was fast and safer to use

  12. Sanwei Review: Sanwei Black Pink Table Tennis Shirt 2025 - a shirt even the non-musically inclined can enjoy...

    Sanwei invited me to review their new range of table tennis shirts. To me, the designs on each of the styles were bold, striking and creative without being TOO loud. The sharp geometric patterns and colour schemes were all very appealing to me even if I can't quite carry off all the styles well...

  14. Best rubber under $5?

    I used the Blue on a beginner build and that was fine though I didn't use it personally. The ones I do more of are the training rubber version, which come in a 2-pack already. They have very low bounciness and are only semi-tacky, so work great for beginners and also hardy enough for office...
  15. Best rubber under $5?

    The Kokutaku 868 is lightly tacky and is easy to maintain. I would steer towards that and the Sanwei T88 Ultra Spin as being to easiest ones to maintain in this category and would definitely fit the fun pick up and play in lunch break for club players. I would steer away from any heavily tacky...
  16. Review: Sanwei FireFlash Table Tennis Shoes

    I love how your response really rounded off this review very well. I had a fantastic fit around my feet so it felt like a perfectly snug pair of trainers/sneakers - and I fully appreciate your comprehensive viewpoint based on a different fit due to the shape of your feet. I'm effectively a size...

    Yeah! It also actually says SpeedArt on the upper as well
  18. Review: Sanwei FireFlash Table Tennis Shoes

    The moment I saw these shoes advertised by Sanwei I was hooked by the lace-free system. After regularly getting annoyed by shoelaces coming undone and then needing to double knot them, there was a certain level of appeal in not needing to fuss with laces anymore. I also really liked the design...

  20. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    That's weird. The STN and the H3Neo are definitely not similar rubbers. About the only similarity they share is their tackiness. The STN is faster and with a really low throw. The STN is also mad durable. Still spinny even when the topsheet looks like a car ran over it. I mainly stopped using...
