  1. Yinhe Blades

    If you want cheap stuff, first thing that comes to mind is going to ColesTT.com
  2. Affordable inner/outer ZLC blades

    I'd be interested in hearing how Pro 05 stacks up vs the new Tezzo Guardian
  3. Advice for backhand rubber

    I was playing between 6 to 9 hours a week when I was using C52. The change in behavior did not affect me as much as quite a few other rubbers have, for example a few of the newer Tensors I tried like Vega X played amazingly when fresh (first 2 weeks) and kinda average for the next 2-3 months...
  4. Advice for backhand rubber

    GT is harder and more direct vs Codexx 54. GT has a much crispier contact and is less spin sensitive. Strangely enough I felt like Codexx 52 felt harder and also grippier than GTPS, with GTPS feeling a bit more like K1 Euro in that it has a surprisingly bouncy and lively feeling
  5. Advice for backhand rubber

    I've used the Codexx 52 as my main fh rubber for a time, I liked it a lot and I could spin really well with it but it is a bit slow on the blades I liked. I havent used K3 so I can't compare, but just from reading reviews I would measure a guess that K3 is less tacky and faster/springier. I...
  6. GEWO Nexxus series

    I'm not sure how closely related it is to Hype XT, but I really liked the Hype KR. Modern feeling but very balanced performance, it just died off too quickly for me to want to keep on using it
  7. GEWO Nexxus series

    Is the Green Aruna Power giving you extra Hulk abilities yet?
  8. Why are pro players only using DHS and no other Chinese style rubber?

    Samsonov was using the Haifu-produced Tibhar Grip-S rubbers for some time before MXP came out. Ai Fukuhara and that one Brazilian Jpen player were using Spin Art too. But Hurricane 3 has basically been the gold standard since its release, I don't think other rubbers can match up to its spin...
  9. Waldner uses Bluestar A1

    Their last names are spelled differently, Erik Lindh vs Anders Lind. Anyways I could not find any correlation from some quick google searches
  10. Manufacturing problem in Xiom blades?

    I have gotten like 3 Offensive S blades (1 secondhand), 2 Feel AX, 1 Feel HX, 1 V1 (secondhand), and 1 Ignito (secondhand) and I only experienced this problem with the Ignito, but it happened when I had lent it to someone else and I think they dropped it by accident- but the handle came off...
  11. Non factory-tuned and not tensor ESN/Japanese rubbers

    Nittaku Factive is one ESN rubber I tried that does not feel like a Tensor to me. Very stable and consistent rubber, like a modern Mark V IMO
  12. How fast is TT Japan delivery to us?

    Its been almost 10 years since I last ordered through them but it took maybe 2 weeks
  13. CCBladecraft

    $65? Seems like a steal for such a beauty
  14. Waldner uses Bluestar A1

    I would expect for a player who's used softer and bouncy rubbers for all of his career, the seemingly faster and more modern A1 is probably more in line with what he's used to
  15. Fastarc G-1, MAX vs 2.0mm?

    Victas/TSP makes high quality products, but even they (back in TSP days) listed their rubbers as having around a +/- 0.15 variance in sponge thickness; eg a rubber that would otherwise be marked as 1.5 or 1.6mm sponge would be packaged as 1.4-1.7mm. I think it is safe to assume that most if not...
  16. Talkin' Smash Table Tennis Podcast

    Just listened to it, good stuff. Excited for more content!
  17. What is STIGA Cybershape?

    G09C and GT share a lot of the stable and predictable behavior that a hard sponge provides, but G09C is much safer and tamer in my experience.
  18. Cheap Koto-Inner Fibre blade?

    Yes, confusing as to why they would discontinue it, but they are also recently selling the Pro 05 series so maybe they thought they would occupy the same space or something
  19. Blade sugestion

    The Donic Waldner Ultra Senso Carbon looks very very similar in the layout of the wooden plies to the Max Carbon, but with less overall thickness- 6.2 for the Max Carbon vs 5.7 for the WSUC. I think it might be worth checking out
  20. Top 10 best-selling inverted rubber and blade in Japan August 2023

    I wonder how sales of the Boll Spirit fare against its bigger brothers. It is selling for cheaper, but it always seems to be left off the table when it comes to any outer ALC discussion
