  1. Sanwei Froster PBO - video review + written review

    Sorry, I can't comment properly as I haven't used the Timo Boll ZLC. I mention in the review that is slower and softer than the Viscaria though so hopefully that can help your comparison.

    Now updated with the written review :D
  3. Sanwei Froster PBO - video review + written review

    Video review: Written review: Sanwei was kind enough to send me their latest flagship table tennis blade from their Expert Carbon (EX-C) series, the Sanwei Froster PBO, for review recently and I’ve spent some time putting it through its paces. The blade comes in a light blue Sanwei-branded...

    Send it to me! :D

    What hardness level are you using for your Gear Hyper rubbers?
  6. A sticky rubber is a bad choice ....

    I thought people generally ignored some of his posts? :D I've seen quite a few head-scratching posts/replies in the past. You bring up some nice points though I suspect nobody would think that Tenergy rubbers are antispin ones 😁... I too used Super Sriver for many years, particularly after...
  7. A sticky rubber is a bad choice ....

    Ah, I'm not too familiar with the Target 90 (The regular Target) outside of what @Yogi_Bear wrote in his review - sorry! I may start using it in my builds but it's still under consideration as the competition is pretty stiff in that price bracket
  8. Greetings from a SANWEI Official

    I'm sure https://www.topspintt.com/ will be one of the places as they're a distributor (They ship internationally). I got my review version of the Sanwei Gear Hyper from them too. I'll be reviewing that blade once I receive my review sample and I'm sure one or more here will have their review...
  9. A sticky rubber is a bad choice ....

    Lol - I'm a really technical player (though I'm probably Division 4 level in the UK and on a very good day, maybe Division 3 level) who values placement and plays angles rather than going for a looping and counterlooping game. I block (the one part of my game I know is consistent) until I get an...

    Similar angle to the Target National, aka low, the difference is in the sponge and I found the Pro blue sponge a bit more elastic and easier to use than the sponge on the Target National. The Target Pro blue had good speed. Also, I have this other info from Sanwei about the Pro 3 (which isn't...
  11. A sticky rubber is a bad choice ....

    Noticed no one has responded to your question. If you haven't found the answer yet, the rubber in the video was the Sanwei Target Pro Blue sponge. I've since switched to the Sanwei Gear Hyper as it was more forgiving for me and I felt more in control of where the ball was going
  12. A sticky rubber is a bad choice ....

    So THIS was where the TableTennisDaily views for my video are coming from 😂 I was puzzled about it as I didn't share it here and had to do a bit more digging to figure out the source since searching 'Stickiest' on TTD didn't give me anything useful - thanks for helping it past a million views...
  13. Grade this cut

    Update: I attempted to use sponge edge tape to help guide me in giving a 1mm overhang cut and got decent results. It wasn't as perfect as I would've liked due to the sponge edge tape getting pressed in at times while I was cutting (which mean I lost the 'feel' of the actual edge) but it was much...
  14. Why single-ply hinoki not popular in plastic ball era

    I have a Xiom Power Hinoki with Friendship 729 802-40 max thickness short pips with the 35 degree super soft sponge and it works beautifully as a hitting blocking machine. Cut a Grass D.Tecs OX to fit the tiny space at the backhand and it's a fun setup of short and long pips. Still have my...

    :) I'm less careful when it comes to my own setup. This was for a customer so I always aim for perfection there (even if I'm about the only one who knows if something is a little off...!).
  16. Grade this cut

    Not crazy at all. I've done it several times myself - the advantage of this method is as you've already mentioned. The downsides are the inevitable markings (which won't go away - even if you only use a ballpoint pen) and it's hard to cut cleanly and precisely on the sponge without something...
  17. Grade this cut

    Have a look at my tools pictured in one of the replies I'd say all the cuts I take pictures off are for customers so I have an interest in having a perfect cut (mostly because I take pride in my own work and want to give a product that's as near to perfection as possible). I would say that...

    I used an almost identical Olfa cutter pictured with a specific type of Olfa snap off blade, the LWB, which has a wave design to help cut through smoother. I should clarify that this cut was for one of my customers - for myself, I tend to just leave out edge tape or use the cheapish sponge...
