No, Telson 100 is faster. Moon12 was nice for my FH 2 years ago, but never loved it for BH. I will do a proper test of Telson China tonight on my usual blade, it will tell me if it's really different from Telson 100/Germany.

I played a lot with the Telson Germany, and it's very close to the Teslon 100, I can't even tell the difference when I play.

Here's a video with Telson 100 with 2 layers of JieChi green (there's a sound delay I can't fix) :

Telson 100 is close to Germany. The semi sticky topsheet does not change a lot the behaviour of the rubber.

Yinhe Apollo is the only thing I'm curious to test. Oh, and the weird Yinhe long pips, VVIP and VIP, they're so intriguing, I never heard of them.

The red is not the provincial version. It's a custom made version for one or some vendors, not an official Loki product.

Depends on the arc you like. Telson unboosted was nice but arc was too low for me, so I boost it now.

Even the n°300 player in France earns money for league games. Most countries with WTT representation have their top 10 players earn money playing in leagues.

Oh, of course the spin can give extra speed after the bounce. But to what extend ? If that speed was enough, why would any player not try to smash with the most spin possible if the bounce speed gain compensate the lack of speed at the moment of the stroke ? How much speed the ball has already...

"in this case final speed is the sum of power hit + RPS of the ball", which is totally false. The more spin you put in the ball, the less speed you give to the ball.

It's different from waht was stated first : "Raw flat hit = 1 speed Flex blade + power topspin (increase RPS) so when the ball contact the table increase the speed, in this case final speed is the sum of power hit + RPS of the ball". So no, adding spin does not increase the speed. If you meant...

Merlin posts is litteraly "all things being equal".

No, that's simple physics. At same "arm speed", flat hit give all energy for ball horizontal speed, whereas a top spin will give part of its energy to the rotation of the ball, that hence can't go faster than with the flat hit, since part of the energy is not given for horizontal movement. For...

Why would a top spin be faster than a flat hit ? That's physically impossible because of Newton's laws.

That's basically the official price from Butterfly eshop : https://be.butterfly.tt/catalogsearch/result/?q=sriver

I tested Zyre03 on FH and BH on a Xiom Hugo HAL. It was slow as hell ! Discussing with the owner of the racquet, main cause seemed to be the blade. He once owned the same than me and he stated than King acB was way faster than HAL. Testing Zyre on my blade would be interesting.

The game looks exactly the same way than in 1990. Only changes is the ball and players physical preparation (though there is less difference in the top TT between 1990 and today than in tennis). You're comparing Viscaria with Clipper for the wood, which are so close in term of quality and perf...

Crappy commercial rubbers does not exist. If someone plays with anti spin rubbers, he will find Zyre03 crappy. For me, the best anti spin would be crappy compared to the worst grippy rubber. People test way more rubbers than they test blade. Mostly because blades are more expensive. But still...

It's hilarious that you find it hilarious. 2 same blades, same brand, same model, can be more different in feeling, frequency and weight than 2 different blades of 2 different brands. "Premade" does not mean anything. Gimme my blade with 3$ rubbers like Mercury 2 and I will have almost the same...

Sriver and Mark V are 40 years old rubbers sold 40$, they're a scam. Better buy Palio AK47.
