  1. Advice and thoughts on wet ball during rally

    Update: Our group is quite small so not playing him is almost unavoidable and I do like to play against him cause then I go no mercy on him allowing me to be most aggressive. So I did approach him about the wet balls, with another member there, just so that it doesn't get hostile. I explained...
  2. Loki Kirin K3 Blade Aliexpress

    Bought a Loki Kirin K3 blade off of Aliexpress to feed the EJ thirst. Trying to figure out if the blade I received is real or fake. I want to say that the real blade says Nano Carbon on the face above the handle; as seen in all images online and videos on youtube. Whereas, the one I received...
  3. Advice and thoughts on wet ball during rally

    I play with a group of regular people. There's one particular person, although he's not a bad person at all, that I believe is putting sweat on the ball unintentionally. However, when I confront that the ball is wet we get into a tensioned situation. I always wipe the ball before serving. I've...
  4. Looking for a budget backhand rubber with holding effect to allow the ball to sink into the rubber

    Are there any rubbers that have the effect of allowing the ball to sink into the rubber similar to Tenergy 19, but at a much lower price? Is this effect more due to the pimple structure rather than the softness of the sponge? I have played T05FX and it is does not give a similar feeling that I...
  5. Chinese special blue sponge degree differences

    I was just stating that my experience is with hurricane and not making a comparison between the two. The comparison I wanted to know is between provincial and national and the degrees of 38 and 39. My question maybe more directed to Battle II, but would also listen to any experience with Hurricane.
  6. Chinese special blue sponge degree differences

    Looking for experiences with softer blue sponge of chinese tacky rubbers on forehand. I played commercial Hurricane 3 Neo 40* before and felt that I could not get the best out of it. I've gone through many setups, but eventually settled down with Palio Energy 03 with Palio AK47 Red FH and AK47...
  7. First custom paddle from Aliexpress - need help with rubbers and blade

    Palio Energy 03 and Palio AK47 Blue on both sides! Energy 03 is 9 layer with 5 being wood and 4 being soft carbon. It has the control and feel of wood, but when you hit harder the soft carbons activate to give more speed and power. A lot of people claim AK47 to be too speedy for them, but don't...
  8. Best budget rubber for BH?

    Not trying to bring you down, but fastarc g1 was horrible for me on backhand. However, it is an insane forehand rubber!! Word for OP: As on the backhand, it's a little too hard and the throw angle is very high. I wouldn't recommend using it unless you are an aggressive backhand player. A lot of...
  9. Best budget rubber for BH?

    Palio AK47 is hands down the best budget rubber in history. I have glued this rubber on several blades and they all have played well. They do not play like tensor rubbers. It's like a mix of tensor rubbers and typical Chinese rubbers without the bounciness and tackiness. The topsheet are grippy...
  10. Palio AK47 appreciation topic

    Reviving this old thread. Palio AK47 is hands down the best budget rubber in history. I have glued this rubber on several blades and they all have played well. First time experience was for testing purposes. I bought a fake Timo Boll ALC (named Timo Boer lol) on AliExpress and glued AK47 Red on...
