😏 Every penhold grip has 3 fingers at the backhand unless you're missing a finger 😎

New Hurricane 9 colours? I didn't even know there WAS a Hurricane 9 😆

That actually looks like a great translation!

😎 Very nice write up covering the journeys of different players and the mix of personalities and abilities in street table tennis! It was a pleasure to be involved, helping at the tournament and contributing voiceover services to the London Street Table Tennis Tournament Final highlights video 😄...

@BeTWO, what are your updated impressions of the B2x? Have you managed to give it a proper try yet?

I have a 729 802-40 short pips on my 'for fun' Xiom Sheung Power Hinoki 1 ply - Love it for the counter attacking speed and ability to hit through spin :) Works well for it actually, which a surprise for me. I suggest you give it a go as a 729 802-40 is a very affordable rubber.

Compared to STN it's more elastic, bouncier without being too bouncy, and has a higher throw angle (for the medium one anyway as that's the one I reviewed. I'm sure the soft version will have a higher throw angle than the medium one)

Those serves are REALLY tricky to read even after seeing the contact point. He's obviously worked very hard to keep the same physical motion so it's even harder to read each serve.

Finally ordered a sheet for myself and my friend. 38 for me, 39 for him. We have the exact same blade so I'll look to test out the 39 too once we can start playing. He still has the 38 I gave him after I finished my review :D

a H3 with no smell is a H3 with no spin :D

Looks like several other sites have started stocking it - Have done some checking and it's now listed on Megaspin for $37.95 and Spinfactory for EUR 34.99. Somewhat surprisingly, I don't see much Sanwei products on the Hong Kong sites that export internationally.

Interesting! I loved the 38 degree version. What made you a bit hesistant about trying the 39 degree version out?

Price has been corrected on their website now £319.99

Personally wouldn't put much hope in it but sometimes you gotta try your luck :)

Yes, they're one of the other table tennis shops in the UK along with Teesport, Bribar, Table Tennis Direct, and Topspin. They're a Stiga distributor and are probably clearing some of their Butterfly stock as I've seen them go for cheap before. Great service from them - they'll give you a ring...

Apart from my day job, I sang part-time with a professional modern acapella group, did a few public shows and many private ones for companies. Was also the vocal percussionist/beatboxer of the group. Miss performing sometimes.

I've now seen that it's available from their UK distributor - https://www.topspintt.com/products/rubbers/659/gear-hyper-38-rubbers £33 (so my price prediction of £30 in the UK wasn't far off the mark!)

Ah, like Yogi said, we probably have blade sizes. After checking further, I forgot to specify that the Balsa Carbo X5 measures 158 x 150, so is slightly larger than the blade Yogi used. I picked the largest possible head size I could get my hands on to limit the effect of any shrinkage (didn't...

:D Well I count myself blessed to be in such illustrious company :) Now that it's officially launched, I can't wait for the rubber to be available (and for the coronavirus to go away).

Blessed Easter! We got mentioned on Sanwei's website :) :cool: https://www.sanweisport.com/english/?prod=gear-hyper&fbclid=IwAR0kst0DNaqaKJ0R0MDQxfr-W7sg8uDVDxwcBZxRlMtg9VUhbHN5bpXsoYM And Ping Pong Sport in Thailand - they used my picture from this thread in their review. Not sure I got...
