  1. Dear fellow EJs, give me your (non)wisdom

    If you truly are an EJ you already know what is going to happen. You will buy the MK Carbon and as soon as you've glued rubbers on it you'll start looking for the best deal on a VS Unlimited. Thats just how it goes and there is no stopping it! ;) May I just hijack, or perhaps broaden, this...
  2. The inside view, design, and construction of factory blades that come to us for repair

    Interesting. I always thought that one of the differences between Boll series and many other Butterfly blades was that the handles have caveties (like the W5 above). The ones Ive tried have felt slightly more head heavy.
  3. Tibhar MK Carbon Blade

    Old thread. Any one else had the chance to try it out? How is the balance compared to famous Butterfly models? More or less head heavy? And how are the handles?
  4. We Challenged World's Best Anti Spin Player!

    Because it is not the sport they enjoy.
  5. Why do pros risk tossing the ball outside the 30 degree window?

    There is actually a third alternative - change the rules. Everyone will be happy. 99,9 % of the games won't have cameras and professional umpires.
  6. Why do pros risk tossing the ball outside the 30 degree window?

    Old habit. Everyone is doing it. No one really cares - most people think it’s the rules that are at fault, not the servers.
  7. We Challenged World's Best Anti Spin Player!

    Well. I don't think they are cheating. Pips and low friction rubbers have a long history in TT. ( And personally, I have a good record against them since I tend to win more in lower speed games) However - it is so much more fun to play "regular" inverted games. And even more so practices. It...
  8. We Challenged World's Best Anti Spin Player!

    She is clearly not going full speed either. And a lot of placements are done to give rallys for the audience.
  9. Wondering about heavy backside rubbers - Which are there?

    There are small weights made for golf clubs that can be used at the end of the handle. Lead tape. Works like the Stiga CWT. Check your local Golf store, Amazon or something like that.
  10. ITTF Men's and Women's World Cup Macao 2026, 3/30-4/5

    This one? https://worldcupresults.ittf.com/eventInfo?selectedTab=Player%20List&eventId=3379 I was just thinking "why can't the WTT be like this?" :)
  11. Yasaka Rakza Z Review: Still a good hybrid rubber in 2026?

    You're welcome! 😅
  12. Yasaka Rakza Z Review: Still a good hybrid rubber in 2026?

    Too heavy, otherwise great.
  13. Just Butterfly Glayzer (on backhand)

    Very different feel. All tenergies are bouncier, livelier and faster than Glayzer (or D05) except perhaps when hitting really, really hard. Open ups and lazy loops are easier with Tenergy, short game much more controlled with Glayzer. The difference between the rubbers are bigger than the...
  14. Just Butterfly Glayzer (on backhand)

    Just switched from Glayzer to MK. The MK has a much (much!) softer feel. It is also slightly slower. Cant say anything about durability other than that Glayzer is a true workhorse that can go on forever.
  15. DHS Hurricane 8-80 review: A great hybrid backhand rubber

    Problem has always been inconsistet weight between different 8-80s
  16. Tenergy 19 review, still a smart choice in 2026

    Do you really think that the differences between 05 and 19 are that significant? To me they are pretty much the same. Don't think I would be able to say which is which in a blind test.
  17. The inside view, design, and construction of factory blades that come to us for repair

    Agree! The handle shape is also great.
  18. Any blades still in production similar to Xiom Hugo HAL or Butterfly Moonbeam?

    Yeah. I believe that most forum opinons differ from this video. The HAL is mostely regarded as a slower, more controled alternative to Viscaria like blades. I think the feel is different, it is a lot softer and perhaps more of a tone downed 7-ply. But distinctively fast it is not.
  19. Best Handle and Shape but MK Carbon too fast 😞 Help

    Do they really have the same handle size? I have an MK7 and the handle is a couple of mm longer than the starndard 100 mm. If the MK Carbon also uses the longer handle that is something Tibhar should use in their marketing! MK7 does not have "Made In Japan" printed and have the head seems...
