  1. Advice on Friendship 729 Focus 3 Snipe and Yinhe MC-2

    If you want tacky, go for Neo H3 or Neo TG3. If you want non-tacky, go for AK47 RED or Yinhe Big Dipper (a little tack).
  2. Old Chinese rubbers

    The older rubbers are meant to have gone through a longer period of oxidation. Therefore spin of the topsheet and power of the sponge should have gone down. It explains the difference between your two sheets of H3. It's great you bought it from TT11. The more often they sell the fresher the...
  3. Recommend me a grippy RPB rubber please

    I imagine you are in China right now? You can easily get AK47 blue, 729 Aurora, Palio CJ8000 for very low prices.
  4. The Best Table Tennis Shot of 2018

    Lol really the best of the decade!!
  5. Primorac

    5 out of 5 rating for Primorac I have a very old penhold Primorac with black tag. I have tried various rubbers on it. The feel of the blade is out of this world. It has very decent flex which is a dream for looper. But the flex means my BH control is low as the ball can fly up too high. I...
  6. Butterfly Tenergy 05 HARD review

    Wait and see if T05H will be on special during Xmas and NY!! :D
  7. Trying a chinese rubber

    Avoid Neo H3 commercial if you can. QC seems to have gone down hill. My friend bought a Neo H3 commercial and the tack wore off in a day. To go safe, go for: Neo H3 provincial ($30 USD on Prott.vip) Neo Skyline 3 (~$19USD. much high QC, less counterfeit and more controllable than any H3. But...
  8. Advise for better (and slower) set-up

    For the simple fact that changing a rubber is cheaper than a blade, I would go for a more controllable FH rubber without losing too much power and spin. Try Tenergy05 with 1.9mm thickness. Tenergy 05 2.1mm is equivalent to MXP. But with 1.9mm sponge you get more feel and control without losing...
  9. Butterfly Tenergy 05 HARD review

    I am going to have a second session with the Tenergy 05 Hard tonight at my club. Will write some updates on the review soon.
  10. Butterfly Tenergy 05 HARD review

    T05H is faster and more spinny than MXS although the sponge feels similar. Feeling-wise, MXS has better feeling. You will enjoy the noticeable extra power and spin with T05H. Once you hit hard you can hear the typical "Click" of the tenergy sponge.
  11. Advice on Friendship 729 Focus 3 Snipe and Yinhe MC-2

    Friendship 729 Focus 3 Snipe is designed for backhand use. But it is fast enough for forehand too if you want to try. I used Friendship 729 Focus 3 Snipe for my backhand. Very controllable. Good value for money.
  12. Tenergy 05 Hard

    Review by 'SFF_lib' on item 'Tenergy 05 Hard'

    For this review, I will compare Tenergy 05 Hard (T05H) to the following rubbers I had played on my penhold ZJK ALC: Hurricane 3 National BS (H3N) 40degree Tenergy 05 (T05) MXS I play spin game most of the time and step away to mid distance for two-wing looping. Topspin Power -...
  13. Primorac

    Review by 'SFF_lib' on item 'Primorac'

    I have a very old penhold Primorac with black tag. I have tried various rubbers on it. The feel of the blade is out of this world. It has very decent flex which is a dream for looper. But the flex means my BH control is low as the ball can fly up too high. I had to put rubber with low arc on...
  14. Butterfly Tenergy 05 HARD review

    I have played H3N for a long time. I agree the boosting process is such a hassle. I have tried so many tensor rubbers - Omega V Pro, Andro Powergrip, Razka 7, MXP, MXS and T05 but none come close to the short game advantage of H3N until T05H came. It really changed the game, the spin of T05H...
  15. Butterfly Tenergy 05 HARD review

    T05H is less bouncy than T05 in serve which is a good thing. If you are blocking against hard loop, T05H definitely has more catapult than T05. Against gentle hit? Probably less catapult than T05.
  16. Butterfly Tenergy 05 HARD review

    My EJ virus was reactivated after seeing the new Tenergy 05 HARD. So I ordered a sheet from Prott.vip :D:rolleyes: Dan has done an excellent work on unboxing. So I will skip that part. For this review, I will compare Tenergy 05 Hard (T05H) to the following rubbers I had played on my penhold...
  17. Just wondering, how long do you need to stop playing table tennis to feel restless?

    If you are reading this post I guess you might be crazy about table tennis just like me. Just a fun survey. How many days or weeks do you need to stop playing to feel restless?
  18. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    I am like you. I switched from SH to PH because I watched RSM's game in 2004 Olympic. His give-it-all risky FH shots remind me a lot of how I used to play when I was 10. So I picked PH, a symbol of challenge, risk and energy. I have been using RPB exclusively for 4 years. But I still...
  19. Austrian Open 2018

    Liu Guoliang's usual calm manner tells the world that China will likely stay dominant in the near future. He has plans in place. Hopefully he will come up with some special events for table tennis in the near future.
  20. Allwood = outdated?

    No. No and No. My very old Primorac with black tag has the most amazing flex yet, the kick is strong enough. I can power loop against someone using Butterfly ZJK ALC and H8 as FH. I am still using single-ply hinoki which is as fast as ALC blades but with more feel. All wood will live among...
