  1. BH rubber replacement

    T64 FX T64 and D64 are king of the bh. Fx will give you more control
  2. Dwindling number

    That’s a good point. I did a bit of search, statistics support your hypothesis. Yes less people play sport these days.
  3. Dwindling number

    What is a working man club?
  4. Why single-ply hinoki not popular in plastic ball era

    Sorry for sidetracking, apparently that’s why the neck of the new Cyberspace blade is strengthened due to more weight near the head.
  5. I am in deep deep dilemma

    R7 has stood the test of time. It’s a great rubber for any style. You can use it on fh or bh.
  6. Dwindling number

    My inquisitive mind is bothering me so I had to ask this question. So it began with a conversation I had with my coach. He said back in the 1980s there was a huge demand for table tennis. They saw 6 people waiting in each table each evening. That was 6x12 = 72 people. Fast forward to 2010s...
  7. WTT Cup Finals 2021

    Hugo’s return service was high and long. I wonder if it is because he hasn’t played Harimoto for a long time. At the pro level, Hugo should’ve got used to Harimoto’s service by the 3rd game. But it seems that he kept giving a high ball.
  8. Why single-ply hinoki not popular in plastic ball era

    Invest in the top brand such as BTY and Darker. My Darker Speed 90 has lasted for 6 years. Lots of dents but no break.
  9. What do you consider the "modern" style of table tennis?

    Just look at Harimoto, Lin Yun-Yu, and Liang Jingkun. They represent the most modern style: 1- Close to table 2- BH oriented 3- Short fast strokes 4- More hitting than brushing 5- Hitting the ball earlier than before
  10. Lifespan of hurricane rubbers

    I have a Butterfly setup and a DHS setup. Butterfly- D05 + T64 on a Viscaria DHS - boosted H3 BS + boosted commercial H3 on W968 Approximately 1 out of 5 thin brush strokes, my H3 slips. In contrast my D05 grips much better and never slips. After almost a decade of using DHS rubbers my...
  11. Lifespan of hurricane rubbers

    I am a H3 user for almost a decade. I have to agree with you. With just 3hrs/week, my H3 starts to slip in about 3 months. The newer H3 I bought this year has poorer quality. It started with a semi-tacky surface and developed a matte look. With little tackiness left slipping happens often...
  12. W968 rubber choice

    I have it. I played it on my Vis, muted and little feedback. D05 is way better. I feel D05 is also slightly tacky and gives more feel. 09C performed a lot better on my soft 5-ply wood. So I don’t think 09C will feel good on w968
  13. W968 rubber choice

    Thanks guys. Good to know your experience. I love boosted H3. Powerful spin. I have a w968 with Boosted H3 on both sides. I have a Butterfly setup (Vis + D05/T64) I played both setups with the same guy. I lost 1-3 with w968. I won 3-2 with Vis. But I love the dwell time and...
  14. W968 rubber choice

    I’ve finally got my hands on a W968. My BH choice is T64. Most people said W968 is designed to go with Tacky rubber on the FH. But I wonder if anyone has used any non-tacky rubber as FH W968/Long V?
  15. Is Truls the new Waldner??

    His style is uniquely entertaining. These days mens TT is mainly Bh-Bh rally close to the table (LJK, FZD, LGY, LYY). Very boring to watch. I am glad Truls plays very creatively.
  16. World Table Tennis Championships 2021

    Rise of Sweden!! They’ve proven anything is possible. Hopefully more countries will compete at the top level!
  17. World Table Tennis Championships 2021

    Where can I watch MD final live? Not on YT or WTT’s FB page.
  18. Super hard H3

    Thank you for your thorough post. I will get a few Nittaku H3 blue!! I always boost my H3 using Seamoon oil. Have you boosted your Nittaku? If so did that soften the sponge?
  19. Super hard H3

    I am tempted to try it coz it’s on special on TT11 this week. Do you think 1.8mm will be more lively? But will 1.8mm be as spinny as DHS blue sponge H3? My recent experience with DHS is sour. The new H3 is only half tacky and far less durable. That’s why I am considering Nittaku’s
  20. Super hard H3

    I managed to get hold of a H3 that had very large Chinese characters printed on the rubber. Those were the legendary original H3. It’s a world tackier than my Provincial H3 bought this year. The sponge is VERY VERY hard. But there is no degree on it. I had to apply 6 layers of Seamoon oil...
