Some brief reviews start popping up in Chinese forum already. Will watch this space. But considering T19 and D09C are both mediocre, I have little faith with anything with a 9 in it 😂😂

Yes, the same red sponge.

301 is inner ALC, it means it requires more effort to produce decent speed and spin.

Every rubber has shortcomings. You train to compensate for the shortcomings. If you stay with bouncy rubber, you must train to improve your short touch. If you pick tacky, you must train to improve your stroke in rallies. Hybrid might be the way to go. Not all hybrids are the same. Some...

The National version is made with the best premium material. The ALC layer is strengthened so that it is harder to cause any flex than the letter version. The letter version is easier to play because the blade will flex with medium impact, hence giving nice and clear feedback. The national...

I’ve used 09C and agree. It’s too bouncy thus less control compared to H3.

Prott is selling it. My dealer can get it from China but not sure where he gets it from. It general a new W968 letter costs $300USD. I was lucky I got a second hand for $220.

Interesting chart. They've left out the Turbo blue which is equal to, if not greater than DHS National H3 in spin.

I always wonder why official sellers don't sell W968 letter version. They only sell the more expensive W968 official version. For club level players, the letter version is far easier to play.

Gacina is amazing in this tournament. No specific weakness. Another champion using Viscaria Gold

Good point. I must say Kato was running out of steam after the 3rd game. The quality of her attacks just went downhill

Amazing comeback from Han Ying!!

Han came back 2-2 from 0-2. Lots of entertaining points.

I specifically refer to the Star National H3 rubbers. It costs $85 a piece and it's the market version closest to what the pros are using. Even I have the money I probably can't tell the difference between a pro and a normal national H3. But you are right, those cut ones may be fake, anyone...

I agree I really want to see Aruna take the trophy!!

I really don't care his fh technique. I like Aruna for his attitude - never give up. Despite his age and body shape, he does a lot of risky shot. He compensates it by running around the court. Aruna is my favourite after Xu Xin. Two very entertaining tt players

You are correct to some extent. But the pro's rubbers are not hard to find if you have the money. LJK and ML's 42 degree H3 are on Prott.vip.

5 ply for spin for sure. But it's too slow for the new ABS ball. If you have to settle for a 5-ply, Stiga Intensity NCT creates monstrous spin and is still fast enough in smash and flick.

I just rewatched it. The parts where he compared it to 968 has subtitles. For example, FH loop isn't as heavy or powerful as 968, but quicker to recover due to a more balanced weight.

I really like Aruna. He once said he will keep playing table tennis until he can't play anymore. What a passion!! Admirable athlete dedicated to a sport 👍 👍 👍 At 33 of age, running around in that range is a challenge. I hope he can keep on performing at that level for long.
