I have played with almost all 3-stars plastic balls out there and the Nittaku Premium is by far the best: always round, good bounce and the best spin of any plastic ball. Now if you play at a facility where the flooring and tables are good and bouncy, the D40+ are a fine choice, although they...

Bought my 1st version IF ALC from chintanmashroo, I highly recommend him as a seller.

I'd say the Primorac would be an excellent choice for you. I'd pair it with Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft 2.0mm on both sides if you want something with control and still dynamic with good spin and speed, or Xiom Vega Europe also in 2.0mm. If you'd like something less dynamic, Rozena 1.9mm is good. Stick...

Better to message them via Facebook, quick answers.

Carl gave you some great advice, regardless of if you tend to spin on the BH and hit on the FH, you need to practice so you can strengthen your FH stroke and add some spin to it. With the rubbers you have, my best advice on top of his is, why not try different combinations? If you have 2 of...

Seems like a legit site. I got mine for about the same price from a handball store. These type of stores stock and sell way more shoes than a TT store so they can sell at these prices at certain points.

Very similar to the regular IF ALC, the larger head size gives it a slightly larger sweetspot and makes it a little more bendy.

It's exactly the same structure as the IF ALC: limba-limba-alc-ayous.alc.limba-limba The only difference is the slightly bigger head size.

On average the IF ALC with its 157 x 150 mm head is going to be less head heavy than the Harimoto with its slightly larger 158 x 152 mm head size. Most IF ALC's are more or less 87 g whereas most Harimoto IF ALC's in the market right now are 91g or above.

It's definitely hard to know for sure. The rubber weights can vary and the glue used and how much can tip the scale too. I think my original guesstimate of 88-91g is a bit low, probably more 91-93g.

T05 in 1.7 on larger head blade, I'd think 44g each. 183g -44g -44g -3g (glue) -1g (edgetape) = 91g I suppose it could be more rather than less!

I second what Xylit said. Try them out first before committing to one if you can. This link might also be helpful in understanding the differences between T05, 64 and 80: https://ttgearlab.com/2017/02/13/three-typical-pimple-geometires-of-new-generation-tension-rubbers/

The sponge of Tenergy FX is around 41-42 deg on the ESN scale, with the 05 FX topsheet being the hardest on top of the sponge, 64 FX the softest and 80 FX in the middle. The topsheets are much grippier that EL-S and to me the sponge is also more lively than EL-S'. If you want something that...

I'd say probably between 88 and 91g.

What's the thickness of your T05's so we can take a guess at your blade's weight?

Asics have great TT shoes only available in Japan except their sizing stops at 28 cm / US 10. I had a pair (same as Koki Niwa) which I wore with thin socks that were great but a little too small. If only they had larger sizes and made them available in Europe and the rest of the world...

I have the Butterfly Lezolines and Wave Drive 8. I find the Lezolines to be a bit too bulky and heavy compared to the Wave Drives which are lightweight with a thing sole (which I prefer, like Garrison). For this reason the thick Lezolines soles last a lot longer than the Wave Drives (I also had...

All the rubbers you've listed are going to be much heavier than your EL-S, except Rozena which is going to be slower and less spinny. A rubber like Rasanter V42 or any of the Tenergy FX (05, 80, 64) would already offer you more speed and spin than EL-S without being as heavy as R47 and the other...

05 FX or Rasanter V42.

This rule change is just unnecessary, there is nothing wrong with just black and red. I hope at least that each type of rubber will come in black and only one other color, rather than each come in a array of colors. Again this is really stupid and I can see the manufacturers and larger stores...
