  1. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    When you say a minute, do you mean I have to do the trick for an entire minute, like bouncing the ball off the edge of the table for a minute straight? That's pretty hard lol.
  2. At What Point is an Upgrade from D09c to Z03 Justified on BH?

    They're pretty different rubbers, I wouldn't necessarily call one an upgrade of another. D05 to Z03 might be closer to an "upgrade" as they do play somewhat similarly, but D09c is very different from those two. D09c's special due to its dwell, it gives extra control during very hard shots with...
  3. h3 boosting

    Nah, it won't really make a difference. BTW, I think for amateurs H3 plays the best after a reboost. It retains a lot of its best qualities but becomes a lot easier to activate.
  4. h3 boosting

    Nah, it's fine, I've done some experiments on waiting 5 days vs. <24 hrs vs. 2 days and there wasn't much difference except at <24 hrs it takes slightly longer to break in. Also, the count for reboosting is more time based rather than play time based, i.e. if you wait for 5 days then you'll...
  5. Concern about a new rubber

    That was my experience too...until my latest 2 sheets of H3N national BS. They were both matte and minimally tacky, and believe me they played quite differently too. It was fine on drives, but on brush loops they were awful, just no grip. They were both from Prott where I get almost all of my...
  6. New FZD ALC Borussia Edition

    It costs like $1500 right now, don't think anybody's gonna be buying it because of how it plays.
  7. New FZD ALC Borussia Edition

    Top reviews on Bilibili have been universally bad. They generally feel that it's a mediocre blade at best.

    Just one more post about the LAC. I can't understate how impressive it's been. We have a group of dedicated EJs at the club, and everyone we've all now tried my LJK with LAC setup as well as played against it. Every single person has been extremely impressed with it. The combination of speed...

    Played with the Rxton 9 and LAC on LJK ADC setup again. The Rxton 9 did indeed play much better, with much better hand feel, but still nowhere near a high performance rubber. Both H3 and LAC have much more speed/spin, with LAC favoring speed a bit more and H3 favoring spin a bit more. My...

    The handle size/shape feels pretty standard. It's similar to other Stiga blades, and slightly thinner than a FZD's. It's very different from the LJK ADC's handle, which is rather unique in its thinness with a relatively small flare.
  11. Different Hurricane results based on boosting procedure

    I tried the Rxton 9 Pro, initial testing was terrible. It feels like a 2.2mm H3 that's been boosted too many times but is now months off boost. Basically it felt really thick and dense yet mushy, almost impossible to hit through, and is really slow. I'll try it again, but I think the Chinese...

    It's pretty standard, nothing really stood out. Overall shape is similar to FZD's but just a bit thinner in terms of height (direction perpendicular to the blade face).
  13. SP Carbon (Seth Pech Carbon)

    Thanks! I did that and hopefully I'll receive one soon! Back to the topic, I got a Seth Pech blade and tried it out today with D09c and D05. I wrote a bit about it in the EJ thread, but I'll write a bit more about it here. It came in a pretty plain black packaging, though it also had a card...

    Just tried out the LAC and Rxton 9 at the club today. Wow was the LAC impressive! It played really well on both FH and BH, though I think it probably suits the BH a bit better due to its relatively lower throw and higher reactiveness compared to the H3. Now I'm thinking that maybe I should've...

    Got my Rxton 9 and LAC, both boosted with 2 layers of regular Seamoon. Very different responses as you can see. Using my Shore C durometer both measures in the 58-60 degree range, similar to H3N BS 40 degree. This checks out as both are listed at 40 degrees. They're both quite tacky, so I...
  16. Different Hurricane results based on boosting procedure

    I ordered a Rxton 9, gonna see if matches H3 in function. If so I might switch to Loki to see if QC is better. It's comparable in price to H3N provincial, so pretty expensive for a Chinese rubber. I've got high hopes for it.

    Hmm, I just sent an injury and I'm receiving only AI responses. It literally replies within a second, confirming that the product listed i the S-series, but I can't really trust it.
  18. Different Hurricane results based on boosting procedure

    I've only gotten 1 bad sheet thus far, having gone through probably 20 blue sponge ones, both national and provincial. I recently glued up the 2nd one of the 2 H3 BS nationals I bought at the same time, the 1st one was the bad sheet with no tack. I boosted the 2nd one the same way, with the...
  19. Post your latest EJ purchase

    I've now had 2 sessions against the robot and 1 session at the club, with a couple matches and some training. The impression thus far is that the S968 is quicker than the Q968, and it's easier to hit into than both the Q and the W. Maybe it was just the particular Q968 I got, but it was harder...

    How did you get the S version? I'm looking for one but can't find it.
