  1. Best combination for long 5 clones or blades for topspin

    Yasaka Rakza Z springs to mind.
  2. ITTF and FIT joined forces to ensure fair play.

    by the way - changing the sponge isn't even against the rules. there is a part of the rules which, long story short, says - you should not alter the topsheet of the rubber, but what happens to the sponge part, is not important. which is kind of true - look at all 24-108 versions ... with...
  3. ITTF and FIT joined forces to ensure fair play.

    it's interesting, that Igorponger knows more about this than mr. Google and youngster ChatGPT ...
  4. Besides TT, what other sports do you do?

    I did play tennis and table tennis simultaneously last season, but this year I skipped tennis altogether. I also ride enduro mountain bike, albeit the weather is so tricky this season that when I have the time to ride, it’s raining and thus trails are muddy and soggy (very slippery), and when I...
  5. Boosting European rubbers

    this was … interesting, to say the least … 😂 blocking was amazing, feel even more pronounced, but speed, or better said catapult was uncontrollable. forget about topspin, because it just pings and flies off into the distance … 🙈 it’s not european, but rather Chinese hybrid - Yasaka Rising...
  6. Them hinoki 3+2 blades

    uf, Xiom Axelo, I played with that rocket, for a whole season after getting back to table tennis. I have proper stroke technique, good feeling and did like this blade but - this blade is for someone who plays/practices 5 times per week of more. if you want fast, with good feeling - maybe try...
  7. Dignics 09C

    ha, yeah, busted here ... "everyone" is a bit wild ... but I did read like a blog post about boosting, and also one of the many booster reviews, that Dignics9c either doesn't even react or it gets damaged by boosters. but it is true I was reading about Haifu and Kailin. which are also not...
  8. Post your latest EJ purchase

    Yasaka Rising Dragon, max, red. jury is still out weather I like it or not. :p also, sold Hugo ALX (just to hard for me, probably because of koto top layer) so I needed a replacement and as it is hot summer I went for some ice cream. :P Xiom AZXi, more out of curiosity but am actually really...
  9. Dignics 09C

    isn't boosting the Butterfly rubbers a bid double no no? that's at least what I read when I was researching boosting the rubbers a bit ... and everyone said not to bust Butterfly rubbers as it kills them and shortens durability ...

    ok, as a photojournalist I have a bad allergy for fake news, so I am reporting this shiet!
  11. ITTF and FIT joined forces to ensure fair play.

    I don’t get it, what is this about? that Donic will not factory boost their rubber? ok. good luck with that … sorry to se Donic go chapter 7 …
  12. Researching the DHS Hurricane rubbers

    funny, I have the H3 Neo, commercial and I find it better as the national version ... 🙈 like I said - I already played with H3N on FH and H9V on BH and generally liked the feel, but didn't like the weight (H3N 48g, which is okay but H9V is hefty 57g ... whole blade had 201g!). you are quite...
  13. Any blades still in production similar to Xiom Hugo HAL or Butterfly Moonbeam?

    well, after all the wait, and the short stint with Hugo ALX I realised, that koto outer veneer blades are not for me so I went for some Ice Cream with AZXi flavour ... also, it looks like official Xiom retailer won't be even getting any of the HAL blades ... and I cannot blame him, our country...
  14. Chat gpt booster recipe

    well, in the days of speed glue, we often added fuel into the glue. if I remember correctly, it did add a loot of speed but you had to reglue more often because the speed effect faded faster (probably, because it evaporates quite quickly?)
  15. I'm looking for an alternative rubber that lasts longer than the Tibhar Hybrid K3.

    I think it was discounted last week ... now NUZN 45 is discounted.
  16. Researching the DHS Hurricane rubbers

    so, in my competing career I was never fond of chinese rubbers. probably because of the bad experience I had when my dad put one of the Friendship 729 rubbers onto my blade in order to get my backhand going. and everything I remember was - tacky as hell ... but sloooooow!! dead snails were going...
  17. Boosting European rubbers

    so, I glued the boosted MXP50 onto my new AZXi blade and the first thing I have noticed - it became slightly tacky. not so tacky, that it would lift the ball of the table, but slightly ever so much that when you bounce the ball of the rubber/blade, you can see that it is affecting the bounce...
  18. I'm looking for an alternative rubber that lasts longer than the Tibhar Hybrid K3.

    any thoughts on Rakza Z Extra Hard? even though I find Rakza Z really nice, on FH and on BH ... now I am running a combo of Rakza Z 2.0 on FH and Shining Dragon on BH ... haven't reached the Shining Dragon verdict yet ... Xiom J&H is one amazing series, but ... they do not last long...
  19. Any news and info on Zhang Jike's New donic bluegrip j line?

    any new update on durability? J1 is currently discounted on TT11 and would love to try it, but if durability is poor then I wouldn’t go on this train … Rakza Z seems to be holding up quite well, some 20 hours of play later it still looks like new (except it shrunk a bit). and will be ordering...
