  1. What Are Hybrid Table Tennis Rubbers and Why Are They So Popular Nowadays?

    There’s a common perception that Chinese rubbers produce a lot of spin, but in reality, that might be more of a myth than anything else. Many Chinese rubbers don’t match modern hybrid rubbers in terms of spin, and they can also be more difficult to use. They are also clearly inferior when it...
  2. What Are Hybrid Table Tennis Rubbers and Why Are They So Popular Nowadays?

    If you prefer a lighter, more tensor-like feel with easy rebound, I would recommend the Target National. If you’re looking for the power and heavy spin you get from really engaging your swing, more like a hybrid rubber, then I’d recommend the Volant Phoenix.
  3. What Are Hybrid Table Tennis Rubbers and Why Are They So Popular Nowadays?

    私も翻訳ツールを使っているので、もし私の発言が分かりにくかったら申し訳ありません。 その通りです。ターゲットほど弾力はありませんが、スピンがかかりやすく、ボールを打った時の感触はキレがあって鋭いです。

    ヴォラント・フェニックスを強化する必要はありません。 いずれにしても、大した違いはない。 その性能は、Jekyll & Hyde C52.5の廉価版のようなもので、工場出荷時のチューニングは約2~3週間持続する。
  5. What Are Hybrid Table Tennis Rubbers and Why Are They So Popular Nowadays?

    BDV is often described as a hybrid rubber, but honestly, if you're used to ESN-made rubbers, you'll probably find it surprisingly dead and much more tacky than expected. The only real alternatives I can think of are SANWEI Target National and Double Fish Volant Phoenix.
  6. Alternative to Dignics 09C

    The XIOM C52.5 performs quite similarly to the Dignics 09C. It has a crisper, more solid feel, a higher maximum spin ceiling, and it's easier to flat-hit. However, you really need to commit to your strokes to generate good speed. When looping against backspin, it doesn't give you that "automatic...
  7. Alternative to Dignics 09C

    H8 requires a lot of physical effort to produce a heavy ball. It lacks that 'grabbing' sensation. While LAC is faster than LIMITLESS, the feedback is muffled, and the spin potential feels underwhelming for a tacky rubber. Most Chinese sticky rubbers have that typical 'dead' feel at impact.
  8. Alternative to Dignics 09C

    I had previously heard that boosting the LOKI GTX PRO would be a suitable alternative to the Dignics 09C, so I tried it out. The results showed that while control and catapult performance were indeed dramatically improved, the ball spin, launch, and feel were completely different from the 09C...
  9. SANEI collaborates with Fist of the North Star

    It seems that Raoh will appear in the second release. Other characters have not yet been decided, but it seems that they will be added.
  10. SANEI collaborates with Fist of the North Star

    SANEI will be selling a racket in collaboration with Fist of the North Star, which I believe will be released exclusively in Japan. https://sanei-hp.jp/news/detail.php?id=26
  11. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    When we spoke to a Japanese manufacturer, we learned that the hardness and bounce of the ball when hit changes depending on the type of adhesive. Performance also varies depending on the country of origin, age of the tree, drying time, and processing method.
  12. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    Tenergy 09cは一般には販売されませんでした。
  13. Rubber help

    We recommend the HEXER GRIP series. It has the same spin performance as the R47, but slightly lower bounce. It has good trajectory and arc.
  14. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    The TELSON series feels like an outdated rubber. The sheet is weak and there's not enough spin. For me it's not much different from the Mark V.
  15. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    I don't really understand why the Telson Germany is so highly rated. It has little momentum, little spin, and lacks power. Some comments say that boosting it would be enough, but if that's the case, it would be better to boost it to the H8 37 degrees, which has more spin.
  16. Best all wood blade?

    I'm not sure if they can ship overseas, but the Wizard 丁々発止 is a wonderful five-ply plywood racket. Ginkgo is used as the core, which gives it excellent control and, when hit hard, produces power similar to that of an inner racket.
  17. New Vega rubbers

    When the Vega series was released in Japan 16 years ago, it was around $22. Now it's up to around $34, but the Vega O is around $27. It's still priced competitively like it was back then. It seems to be targeted at beginner and intermediate players.
  18. Butterfly Zyre 03

    It uses a five-ply wood that is similar to a Korbel and has a little more bounce and is easier to spin.
  19. Butterfly Zyre 03

    I changed my backhand rubber from H8 37 to ZYRE03 2.5mm. I'm so impressed I can't go back to other rubbers.
