thanks for honest reply. yeah, I feel you, but, i.e., currently I am playing with Omega V Euro, will probably go to Omega VIII Pro or Jekyll series after I kill this rubber. I played with Omega VII China Guang, not really a chinese rubber, but it's hard hybrid. while I liked the dwell and grab...

why? can you explain? genuinely asking. :giggle:

oh wow, you bunch of cheaters, aren't you? :ROFLMAO:🙊 okey, joke aside, real question: why do you like playing with H3? I played table tennis. for real. professionally, albeit 20 years ago. but even back then I gave Chinese rubber a try and after a couple of practice sessions a hard pass. yes...

Xiom, why you doing this to me? 😂😂 I love my TMX, but am huge Hugo fan, so I guess I will have to change my AJH version for Hugo version. 🤪

looks pretty much the same as AJH TMX … is it the same blade, just rebadged/renamed?

what about Vega Tour? I currently have Vega Asia DF, which really has nice feeling, nice touch, good spin, but is a tad bit too soft with 42.5 sponge hardness ...

anyone compared O7P and O5T?

well ... I gave it a little bit of thought ... I played with some harder rubber, I played last 14 days with Xiom Omega VII China Guang. it is amazing rubber. when you are 100% on the ball. then you can exploit full potential of the rubber. but ... I play 2 to 3 times a week. it's a 2 hour...

so, a little bit of food for thought. I got this question while reading one of the threads on this forum, where statement was made by @WingTT : It's hard to generalise rubbers based on generation but the trend is toward harder rubbers. The only advantage older rubbers have is maybe price and...

well, my dad was a coach, and he used to be one of the top players in former country, so he is probably the main reason I am playing as he took me with him to practice sessions and tournaments often, but still, we watched a lot of table tennis (besides F1 😂, strange family, I know) and it was...

maybe, and I am writing this with a big grain of salt, maybe he has some problems? I mean, I was once called the most technically perfect table tennis player of my generation in my region. I was around 16, 17 years when I clumsily stumbled on stairs and broke my elbow (first time). I had to...

maybe I don't know how physics work, but I know how to play table tennis and how to play against anti / short / long pips. what I saw in Winter vs. Polcanova match is not normal table tennis antispin application. yes, Polcanova overcomplicated serves, but to play a straight rotation on the ball...

of course it was - in case of Jorgic - sidespin serve. and then you get strange rotations - not strange as in case of Winter vs. Polcanova, where all sorts of rotations happen, which actually shouldn't, given the nature of Polcanova's stroke and Winter's block (Polcanova topspins, Winter blocks...

I can see Jorgic having some lower back discomfort, maybe this affected his performance ... on the other hand - playing against anti, long or short pips, there is only one unwritten rule - do not complicate. as soon as you add strange rotations on the ball it is just to add power to the...

yes, I can agree, that is probably why I am still, after all these new rubbers I've played/tested with, coming back to R7(s) ... will probably finish this season (a bit more than a month of playing and then all the amateur recreation competitions end) with what I've got (except for Sigma II Euro...

ok, so to sum up: older generations of rubber are not bad for modern table tennis play (modern as in the heavy big plastic balls)? there is Xiom Sigma II Euro heavily discounted in my local shop at the moment and am tempted to give it a try ... but I gave a try to many old(er) rubbers already...

Stiga Mantra is not available in my region, unfortunately ... so ... this may be a bit stupid question, but I am still not the best friend with modern table tennis equipment. I did play with 55 rubber on forehand (BlueGrip C2 and Xiom Omega VII China Guang) but always go back to softer rubber -...

yes, I am quite hyped about O8C, I've read a lot of good stuff about it and it does pretty much check all the boxes. just waiting for it to come into stock at my table tennis equipment local shop ... and thank you, appreciate it!

okay, after everything I read I want to order one GA8, just pull the trigger and try it. but - there are many options, which one to chose now!? :ROFLMAO:

my problem is I am a coaches son. :p he was a respected coach, he had a lot of success (he had quite a few national champions in younger categories, I never was a national champion but in junior and youth categories I was always top 10, even top 5) and he taught me everything he knows but...
