Appreciate your comment — no intention to "thrash-talk" at all, just sharing my personal experience and opinion. Totally respect that H3 works great for many players without booster as well

I see, so it's mostly because of price, or are there other reasons too? Or do shipping times and reliability also play a role here? Can't speak for everyone, but from personal experience, AliExpress has been always a gamble — last order ended up taking over 42 days to finally arrive to my...

Right, who doesn’t love a quality item for a cheaper price, especially if you can get your hands on something rare or high-performance? 😅 The challenge is that for a lot of players in EU/US, Taobao still feels risky — long shipping, uncertain product quality, or needing a middleman just to buy

I see, I appreciate the comment — totally fair point. Do they really need booster though? I mean, even if they do, I’ve noticed that most players who go down the Chinese rubber rabbit hole end up embracing boosting pretty quickly. Take the well-known Hurricane 3 for example — I actually tried...

Hello, fellow table tennis enthusiasts. I know some of the more hardcore players and EJs here have probably tried some of the Chinese rubbers that are harder — or borderline impossible — to find in Europe/US. I’m talking about things like: • 729 Battle II (Provincial / National / Special...

What really happened is this: You started brushing better (maybe because H3 forced you too) → timing improved → net clips decreased → now you're crediting the equipment You're not completely wrong that “synergy” matters, however, you are putting the cart before the horse. The “secret” wasn’t...

Passionate towards table tennis 🏓

Just use distilled water and a sponge, keep it simple. All these cleaners are basically a marketing gimmick

It definitely is sticky, not sure what you are talking about. I had plenty of Hurricane 3s and for me, with proper care, they maintained their tack till the end of their lifespan. Obviously it wasn't as strong as out of the package, but enough for the rubber to do it's thing

About new Hurricane 3s, they are all fine, at least personally. It's an acquired taste and I don't plan to ever change it for forehand

That’s fair. Thank you. I’ll post an update when I’ve got the technique more "tamed" and a more consistent set going. Appreciate the engagement up to now

Thank you for your comment. I will post more in the future, I'll keep the thread updated, I just need some time for everything to settle and engrave the technique into my body

I appreciate the thoughtful reply. I see where you’re coming from — the traditional progression of "build stability first, then layer on power and explosiveness" makes sense in many cases. I just don’t fully agree that developing dynamic movement awareness early is the same as trying to "run...

I appreciate your perspective and background. My request wasn’t about questioning your credentials — I simply believe that showing is often more effective than telling, especially in technical discussions, not to mention table tennis. Since you seem quite experienced, it’d actually be valuable...

Interesting take — though it feels like you're disregarding a lot of nuance here. Perhaps you could share a clip of yourself performing a realistic and sustainable forehand loop 10–20 times in a row? That might help me visualise as well as understand your point of view better

Thank you for the tips and feedback, I'll keep it in mind 👍 @Egon

Yes, you're right, need to work on many things, however, I found this to be my main concern for now. I am obviously not ready yet, I takes time to engrave a technique, but I will keep this thread updated and your comment in mind - I'll record one in the future 👍

Much love 🙏

Well, I completely agree on it - an actual game is way different than that of a usual training session. But all does it need is just adaptation, no? It will come with more training and extensive match play, I mean I haven't even been playing for 2 years

I'd love to 😂 Unfortunately that's practically impossible
