  1. Shouldn't Afghanistan be suspended from ITTF ?

    OP is long time forum troll Srinivas Janhardanan, aka Sjan (or last seen as James Z), using a new sock puppet account. This thread is just bait so he can flame
  2. Glayzer 09c (help)

    IMO G09C is like if you mixed Sriver with D09C, the feeling is still in line with a Japanese rubber but it is not special feeling like Tenergy
  3. Joola Aruna Off Rubber Recommendations 2023

    H3 Neo provincial 39 degree orange sponge, the standard in Chinese style rubbers
  4. Can’t wait for the Dang Qiu ALC

    To my knowledge BTY doesn't make a penhold version of the Ovtcharov ALC, and if so there's an opportunity for Butterfly to make the Dima ALC pen and call it Dang Qiu ALC and not completely occupy the same space as IFALC and Harimoto ALC.
  5. Thoughts and feelings on Yinhe W6 (or alternative blades)?

    I got one of these for casual penhold play, but I ended up liking it so much I have been considering buying one to use for shakehand use. Great allwood feeling with surprising performance. It is more solid and crispier compared to my Swat (granted I do have a pretty light and dinky Swat at 79g)...

  7. Why did Joo Se-Hyuk barely forehand-chop in his match against Ma Lin in 2003?

    It was JSH setup. The same site has a lot of professionals setups like KLH, Ma Lin and Wang Hao Edit: source- https://www.fotop.net/rxng/cntt
  8. Rubbers are not sticking well on my blade

    I'll suggest trying 2 layers of glue on the rubber instead of 1, and to set something heavy and flat on top of the racket for 24hr after assembly to see if it allows the glue to stick a bit better.
  9. Rubbers are not sticking well on my blade

    I have experienced this issue, when the blade is sealed to a certain degree and I have stretched the rubber onto the blade by rolling the rubber on with too much pressure. It has also happened to me when the rubber is boosted and has a reverse dome. Given that applying pressure to the rubber to...

  11. What is the MOST mid setup? Equipment you thought was just 'okay'

    Focus 3 Snipe, Toyota Yaris of table tennis rubbers.
  12. Can you name some Chinese Hinoki blades?

    I'm pretty sure the yinhe "cypress" is actually Juniper. My friend has one if the single ply "hinoki" blades but it is much harder, denser than my Yasaka Musashi and more expensive Butterfly Tmax.
  13. Rakza Z and Rakza Z Extra Hard vs Golden Tango PS and Golden Tango

    I think you might want to check out the Tronix ZGR. I've been testing it recently and like it a lot, its hard and only lightly tacky but its got a thick topsheet with stubby short pimples, giving it some hold-y feeling without needing much stickiness while maintaining the directness of the hard...
  14. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    Given all you've written about GT and your experience with tacky rubbers, I don't think you will like a modern Tensor like Nexxus Superselect as much as you might want to. But it still remains to be seen if you would either like it as much or perform as well with it given time dedicated to...
  15. Yinhe Blades

    Now that I look at it more closely, it is ayous. They just look similar at a glance but the grain pattern is pretty distinguishable once I inspect them 😅
  16. Yinhe Blades

    Koto over spruce, classic composition.
