  1. 1980s Stiga Allround blade - worth reusing ?

    To resume the game, this blade is fine, but there is one drawback with it - this is its size, it is smaller than modern standard blades. This is due to the transition from a ball with a diameter of 38 mm to a ball with a diameter of 40 mm. To resume games after a long break, this will not be a...
  2. WTT Singapore Smash 2023

    I was very pleasantly surprised by Truls Moregard with his game with Fan. In fact, and oddly enough, he is the only European player who was able to oppose Fan at least something. He and his coaches drew many conclusions from previous meetings and corrected the game for the better. In French, I...
  3. Wait for tackiness to wear off?

    Replace the pad and don't worry. If it does not fit, it is better to change it.
  4. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    In Yinhe and China, the situation is different, not directly related to the quality of the inventory. The manufacturer for the national team is approved by the communists, whose ideology does not provide for competition. If they had approved Yinhe at one time, then everyone would have played...
  5. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    Tony, DHS rubbers play last much longer than Butterfly, and since Butterfly raises prices, no one raises them on the market.I'd love to lower prices and buy their inventory, but they don't.
  6. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    I agree, but it would be even better if another manufacturer like Yinhe did it. They have cool topsheets (Big Dipper and Jupiter), the price is cheaper and for us tennis players, the more manufacturers with high-quality and inexpensive goods, the better!
  7. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    Everything seems to be so, but not quite so. At the time of the ban on fast glue, Butterfly and other rubber manufacturers were in the same conditions and no one asked anyone for anything. Then there was a ban and lo and behold! Butterfly has a ready-made new pre-stretched sponge! Very strange...
  8. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    As far as I know, rubber for the Xiom company is produced by the ESN plant. Xiom blades are produced at a factory in South Korea, by the way, very high quality and much cheaper Butterfly
  9. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    Tony, at first you write that you support healthy competition, but then you pour water on the butterfly mill, humiliating the ESN and healthy market competition. The fact that the Butterfly will be forced to reduce the prices of its products is primarily the merit of competitors, and all of us...
  10. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that Butterfly started producing Dignics with a semi-tacky topsheet only after ESN finally caught up with Tenergy in product quality, but not before, when the Chinese dominated with sticky rubber all these years. Why is that? Maybe because the profit was...
  11. Aliexpress has big annual sale in 1 week. Are you getting something?

    I bought a Stuor Viscaria blade for a friend, I really liked it
  12. WTT Singapore Smash 2023

    At this level, every little thing has an impact, because the higher the level of the game, the more important all these factors are.
  13. WTT Singapore Smash 2023

    You just said such sedition, I expect an invasion of angry butterfly lovers:D
  14. WTT Singapore Smash 2023

    I meant such players who in my concept represent Dignics and play with them from two sides, like Dmitry Ovcharov, Tomokazu Harimoto, Ling Yun Ju, Deng Qui, Patrick....
  15. Introduce yourself to the forum! :)

    Hi all! My name is Evgeniy! I'm from Ukraine! I am 39 years old, 20 years of which I have been playing table tennis with normal equipment, and not with sandpaper, as before. Although my dad taught me to play tennis at the age of 7 with a Vietnamese bald racket on an iron table outside. Because...
  16. What song are u listening to now?

  17. What does Rakza 7 play like?

    I used to play Rakza 7 backhand, now I play Vega Pro because it is cheaper and no less durable. Plus or minus the game with these rubbers is the same for me, maybe Rakza 7 has more control, and Vega pro has more speed, but you can get used to it. And yet, Vega Pro perceives vaseline oil much...
  18. Just tried Rxton 5 and T3

    Not worth it. This rubber reminded me of the long-forgotten Davey Inspirit. There is no control. I tried it on different blades - soft and hard, fast and slow as well as with a booster and without a booster. It happens that some rubber does not play on one board, and it does on another, but this...
  19. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    The big problem lies in the stickiness of the rubber, much bigger. Chinese sticky rubbers give a lot of benefits to the players who use them - a short serve with strong rotation, a short reception of the serve, ease of twisting the opponent's topspin and the ability to return the ball without...
