  1. gewo rubber

    Neutron and Inventus are not real rubbers. I think it is fairly easy to spot the differences, after all they use different color packaging and clearly mark the sponge hardness on the different versions. They do like to diversify their flagship lineups though, the Nexxus and Hype series all have...
  2. Japan's TT Youtube outfit WRM visits Korea for a matchup with team of Youtuber Takkyu

    This is the only video I've found of Gan actually playing a match, its just judging from a single match but I don't think it's exactly fair to say that he's only "just a bit over usatt2000," but it does seem to me that he probably used to train a lot more in the past and was able to play at a...
  3. Rubber dilemma

    C1 too fast, then maybe Baracuda or Aurus Soft.
  4. Rubber dilemma

    Why not just C1 again?
  5. What is the best ESN Hybrid rubber for FH?

    i have a sheet of k2 on the way from China so I should be able to get back to you in about a month. I'll try and remember to report back about C54 vs K2 Edit- but I can compare RZEH and Codexx 54. Imo C54 is a bit faster and softer feeling with lower throw for sure. RZEH has the edge in spin...
  6. I got sucked into the Butterfly hype

    I think that if you're interested in new stuff, you should try the Vega rubbers on the IFALC, and the Rozena on an old blade you are more familiar with. Buying a whole new setup is practically a recipe for disaster especially if it is much different to your old one.
  7. What is the best ESN Hybrid rubber for FH?

    I have tested the Codexx 54, it is in tbe same class as the other 55 degree hybrids like RZEH and GT. I've been through 3 sheets of GT but only one RZEH and Codexx54, but for me the RZEH and Codexx had a higher throw and was a bit slower and less direct than the GTs I got. I felt the Codexx...
  8. What is the best ESN Hybrid rubber for FH?

    I have a sheet of RZ on the way, my hope is that the RZ lineup will not be discontinued because RZ is one of the best selling rubbers in Japan.
  9. Awkward state of boosting

    Why is it okay for a player to use a boosted rubber if the process was done by the factory, but not okay for a player to do so themselves?
  10. WINNING G-Wave 120 & G-Wave 80

    Colestt had been carrying these for a while, been curious to try them but haven't placed an order yet. I might have to buy some now. The ESN55-60 degree hardness is supposed to be similar to DHS 41 degree, right?
  11. The Dark Side is getting more and more tempting...

    I'm not sure if ESN makes any anti, but they definitely make pips. Speedy Soft, Grass DTecS, Piranja, Tango Ultra and Express Ultra, Andro Blowfish, Rakza PO etc are all made in Germany by ESN
  12. Butterfly Falcima for noobies

    If Falcima is koto/koto, then it seems like it's a modern updated version of the old Oh Sangeun blade which I also believe was koto/koto.
  13. T05, what hardness?

    To me it feels between ESN45 and 47.5 harness. Ex to me feels a bit harder than Baracuda and EL-S (esn45) and a bit softer than G1 and MX-S (ESN47.5). The butterfly scale doesn't perfectly correlate to ESN harness its not an exact science, and its difficult to tell what the sponge hardness of...
  14. [Concluded] Looking for an ‘all wood alternative’ for Viscaria

    I know ww3.ping-pong.tw has a lot of in-house brand cypress blades
  15. [Concluded] Looking for an ‘all wood alternative’ for Viscaria

    I think you know deep in your heart, nothing will feel or play quite like a single ply Hinoki 😉
  16. Defense with penhold?

    Gao Jun used a Matsushita Pro to play single side sp, rumor at the time was that she had a special version made thicker than normal, but many defensive blades are not so defensive anymore in that they are basically just oversized attacking blades. My Diode V isn't that slow, its just big.
  17. Butterfly ball caddy

    $195??? Forget Dignics and SZLC, THIS product is the ultimate flex.
  18. New all-wood blade recommendations wanted

    Xiom Solo is one of my personal favorites, but it is on the stiffer side. Compared to thinner more flexible blades the feeling is also less "deep" but it still retains some of the allwood feeling. Another great blade is the Tibhar Szocs, its thinner and more flexible than Solo/Clipper but more...
  19. Stiga DNA Hybrid H or XH vs Other Hybrid Competitors

    TT11 doesn't stock a lot of Gewo equipment. I think C54 is slower than DG but I haven't played a whole lot with DG
