  1. Anyone have a sneak peak of Glayzer yet?

    That rule of thumb holds only when everything else is equal, e.g. T05 and T05 FX where they differ only in the sponge hardness. The topsheet and sponge of Glayzer, which Butterfly claims uses Dignics' tech, likely has a slightly different formula.

    Review from Taiwan.
  5. Anyone have a sneak peak of Glayzer yet?

    An early review of G09C by a Tieba user who has had some formal training. https://tieba.baidu.com/p/8331015669 Test blade is Zhang Jike ALC penhold, four layers white glue on rubber, and one layer on blade, rubber thickness is 2.1, hardness is 42 (d09c44), tacky topsheet, and gray sponge. It...
  6. delaying the straightening of the arm

    In addition to recovery, it probably has something to do with the "stretch shortening cycle". Muscle can exert more force when stretched eccentrically (sort of a subconscious self-protection mechanism). To take advantage of that, the stretching period (eccentric phase) must be kept short...
  7. What’s NOT good with Rozena?

    Many factors could affect the results. The sponge thickness used by Anatomic Edge is mostly 1.8mm/1.9mm, with some 2.0mm. The testbed (ball, glue or lack of it, board underneath and the desk) is also a factor. That makes comparing results collected under different conditions inherently...
  8. What’s NOT good with Rozena?

    Below is a video clip posted last year by a Tieba/Bilibili user who felt Rozena didn't deserve that much hate. FH: Provincial H3 Neo BS 40/39 deg (depending on temperature of the day); BH: Rozena Blade: Self-made Viscaria with VPS handle https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1ia411C7Pa...
  9. What’s NOT good with Rozena?

    The biggest fault with Rozena is that it's by Butterfly. Ever since the price cut, Tieba threads like the one below pop up from time to time, and each time more and more people concur. 大家有没有发现rozena越来越好用了 Has anyone noticed that Rozena plays better and better now...
  10. What year did Hurricane 3 come out?

    Friendship 729 is the first tacky rubber in the world. From what I could gather, Ogimura from Japan said it was better than Mark V and many Japanese players liked it and made an order for 35000 pieces for the period 1979/8-12. Hong Kong and the US were making big orders. It wouldn't be...
  11. What year did Hurricane 3 come out?

    Liu Guozheng had a big part to do with H3's popularity as he was often cited as the "representative figure" of H3. Representative figures for: H2 - Wang Liqin H3 - Liu Guozheng TG2 - Ma Lin TG3 - Wang Hao
  12. Tacky rubbers recommendations

    Hmm, both of you are actually right. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/tackiness-versus-grippiness.26131/post-355816 https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/tackiness-versus-grippiness.26131/post-356188
  13. What year did Hurricane 3 come out?

    Way before. It is in the name. The first prototype of 729 came out of the lab in 1972/9. WTTC 1973 was the first time "729" made its international debut. They settled on the product name "Friendship 729" after the 1st Asian-African-Latin American Table Tennis Friendship Invitational...
  14. What year did Hurricane 3 come out?

    Mostly Globe 999 topsheet with DHS #22 sponge.
  15. What year did Hurricane 3 come out?

    Gotta make another exception here as I haven't come across the exact date in English sources or even in Chinese sources. Hurricane/Hurricane 2/Hurricane 3 were officially released on 2001/1/7 during the 27th Double Happiness Cup tournament. By that time, they had already been widely used by...

  17. USTTA rating v.s. expected win-rate

    Gotta make another exception because of latej. At the end of the day, what matters is does the system work as intended? If a ranking system, which is used for seeding purposes, is working as intended, then the ranking differences among the players in the later rounds of a tournament should...
  18. USTTA rating v.s. expected win-rate

    Mod threat still in effect: Avoid brokenball I'll take up on your suggestion. It was short but I had fun. See you again sometime in the future! Take care!
  19. USTTA rating v.s. expected win-rate

    Well, before the ban hammer comes, let me play the good but childish member again. To get the uninitiated minds up to speed (spoken in a holier-than-thou tone), perhaps the better question is: What's the purpose of a rating system? To predict the outcome of a future match based on past...
  20. USTTA rating v.s. expected win-rate

    Okay, 2-week ban for DukeGaGa since you didn't mention "it's exciting" but you still get an extra week of ban for saying "someone has to speak up".
