  1. New Blade: Tibhar Darko Infinity Carbon

    but this is way more different than Darko's version - this one not only has carbon layers positioned differently, but also different layers of outer wood veneers. this should be an interesting blade to try. and as far as I know myself, I would prefer BH side to actually be FH and vice-versa. I...
  2. Any blades still in production similar to Xiom Hugo HAL or Butterfly Moonbeam?

    yes, HAL has medium / mid-low arc ... but it has so much dwell that you really get a feeling like it has a very high throw. I couldn't play with D05 on HAL - it was just too much dwell. I made the stroke and at the end of the stroke I still had a feeling the ball is on the blade, if you...
  3. Need help on Backhand rubber.

    I would go with Rakza 7 ... better a bit slow than too fast and not being able to control, I guess. it's been a while since I played with R7 on BH, I did like it, but I recently really liked Hammond Z2 on BH, maybe you could give it a try, but if you say R7H was too much, then Hammon might be...
  4. Does Hl5 need to use the hurricane 3?

    I tried HL5 with several rubbers: - Hurricane 8 - Nittaku Hurricane 3 (basically provincial version) - Hammond Z2 - Dignics09c - Rasanter C53 - Nuzn50 - Rakza Z blade felt kind of numb with both Hurricanes (and I used them on HAL and TMXi previously, where they were really good). Nuzn50 and...
  5. Past Innerforce users - what did you move to and why?

    Hammond is ... different, yes. good, but different. I like it on the backhand, a lot. it gives a bit firmer feel than some other 50 hardness rubbers but it's still a good feeling rubber. like I said, different to what I am used to, but nice. currently, I set up Viscaria with Rasanter C53 FH and...
  6. SDC Handmade Blades

    whoa, this must be a delight to play with, must have a very good feel for the ball!! and this one must be a space rocket, we probably need a new, higher then OFF section to put this one in :P
  7. Past Innerforce users - what did you move to and why?

    I've been back and forth with inner and outer blades ... and someone said innerblades are not for mid distance? some of them definitely are! first I had "extra" outer - Axelo - it reminded me of my competition days 25 years ago but had to accept it was "a little bit too fast" then had 7-ply...
  8. Any blades still in production similar to Xiom Hugo HAL or Butterfly Moonbeam?

    I found that in order to make HAL work at its best, rubber should be 50+ hardness. softer rubbers are either catapulty as hell or mushy as hell. btw - how’s R7H - been eyeing it for a while now, waiting for the rubber to come in stock. would love to try it on Donic Waldner Gold Edition and test...
  9. Any blades still in production similar to Xiom Hugo HAL or Butterfly Moonbeam?

    for me, it was actually the best possible pairing. good speed, good control, best feel of all the rubbers I tried (J&H C55, Rakza Z & Z EH, Vega X, Donic C2, a whole bunch of Hurricanes …). played it on both sides. that’s how much I liked it.
  10. Suitable rubber for BH ?

    I had MX-P 50 on BH for quite some time. it's amazing when you are on power, when you are leaning on the ball aggressively, but if you want to play "gently" you really have to be careful as ball then tends to think it's on a mission to the Moon. 🤪
  11. Suitable rubber for BH ?

    you could try Hurricane 8 Soft, I played with Mid on forehand, but here and there I tried it on BH and was quite good, actually. maybe even Hurricane 8-80, I had Hurricane 9 which has the 80 sponge and it was a nice rubber, except really heavy (58g cut).
  12. The best Table Tennis Rubber that money can buy right now

    currently I'd say andro Rasanter C53. after a couple of months it will be either D09c or Z03, depends also how my backhand will be ... 🤪
  13. FZD ALC fishscale from prott, one side thicker than the other ?

    could be, this was a blade for someone, then this someone rejected the blade and it went to Prott?
  14. Butterfly Outerforce ALC / Yasaka Psych dragon

    i follow a simple rule - do not buy a blade you cannot try first. because handles. wanted to do it with DHS Hurricane Long 5 and luckily I didn’t. because I tried it not long after thinking of getting one, when ST version wasn’t available, yet, and it was horrible to hold. it was rubbing my...
  15. Butterfly Outerforce ALC / Yasaka Psych dragon

    looking after MF too, but it's nowhere to be found around me (close to me). I also called official Butterfly retailer and told me there is like 2-3 months waiting time ... 😳 Outerforce being soft - as in soft, vibrating soft, or soft, nice, trampolining kind of soft feel, where you have a feel...
  16. DHS Hurricane Long 5 and andro Rasanter C53

    so, as I gift I received the DHS Hurricane Long 5. at the beginning I glued on it Dignics09c and Donic Bluegrip C2. it was a nice combo, but for competition, the blade wouldn't be legal as the rubbers were quite small. I had some andro Rasanter C53 rubber and Nuzn 50, Rakza Z and Z Extra Hard...
  17. Butterfly Outerforce ALC / Yasaka Psych dragon

    hi! I am looking for something similar to MMaze and you say Outerforce ALC is quite similar? don't know how to describe this feeling, but it's nice and cushy, like there is a net in the middle of the blade ... that's what I am looking for in a blade, but other than MMaze and Moonbeam blades...
  18. Donic's alternative to BTY's Harimoto Tomokazu Innerforce ALC

    quite late for the party, but better late than never! so, after unsuccessful hunt for Moonbeam and MMaze blades (ok, I did find some nice specimens, but I am not willing to spend that much money on a 20+ years old blades) I dipped into inner blades - a lot of people suggested, that these kind...
  19. New Xiom Blades Series: Hugo Calderano and Lee Seungsoo (TMX / ALX)

    which blade now? TMXi goes perfectly with C55, it’s a really nice combo. TMXi I tried that blade with several different Xiom rubbers, and the only one that felt weird was Vega Hybrid Europe. all other rubbers were working well, but C55 was in a league of its own. ALX is quite stiff, almost...
  20. New Blade: Tibhar Darko Infinity Carbon

    I could also feel quite a difference between ALC and ZLC side. ALC was perfect for my FH and ZLC for my BH, as I prefer stiffer feel on BH ... still didn't get over the fact that I sold this blade only because I had a phase where I was playing with H3N/H8 rubbers and the blade itself had 91g and...
