@Andrea Jiang Can you explain the difference between Sanwei Target National blue sponge, black sponge and purple sponge? What are they doing differently? Thank you

I think it's a bit dangerous to say something is good because it's VW or Toyota etc. There are plenty of lemon solutions from both companies. But also at the same time they had many bulletproof cars too while some other brands mainly produced junk. I have no brand loyalty. In fact I like the...

I noticed it many times now that I have changed only the forehand rubber on my blade. If my racket is 191-2g totally it feels very elastic and I feel the wood and carbon working more. I feel it deforming and then regaining it's natural state (I feel the blade elasticity). If my racket is only...

Yeah, I glued my STN3 back and it feels so good on Mizutani ZLC. I have no qualms, spin, speed, arc, push, serve all good. In fact I reel that the blade is being utilized, with tensored rubbers I feel like the blade is excluded from forehand, I don't feel anything. With STN I have similar...

Yeah, many manufacturers do hateful solutions. It makes me wonder if they wanna make the repairmen life miserable on purpose. Or they wanna cash in more money with service. I'm surprised to see so many Skoda in China, I didn't think it was a global brand like VW or Audi. I thought it's only for...

Rear wheel drive sure is nice and Mercedes engines are actually not shit. I mean real Merc engines, not the Renault rebadges, not to say the Renaults are any worse than other small petrol engines nowadays. In fact among small petrols maybe Renaults are pretty okay which sure is a 180degree turn...

Yeah, I totally get you, which is why I have been experimenting with some rubbers you "don't need to boost" but still Chinese-ish. Vega China is pretty good, and it reminds me of boosted H3 orange more so than anything else, and the topsheet is not the shitty C touch from ESN, which is useless...

I see the NextLevel is trying to start some off-topic BS (BS as in bluesponge), but his Enron bluesponge feels like the Titanic. It's a kick in the own nuts, so I will try something more useful. Since I fancy my nuts un-kicked. BTW, this is a highly divisive, highly fanboy-based, heck maybe...

Let me also revise Sanwei Target National. Actually, I would say the Sanwei Target National (Silver cardboard pack) and the Aliexpress Sanwei Target National 3 is not the same. The silver pack has a little reverse dome, while the Aliexpress or taobao plastic pack has more reverse dome. And the...

I have tried to use Glayzer 09c, Xiom Vega China plus and normal, Dignics 09c on my forehand side but after using Chinese rubbers for the last year and before for about 7-8 years now I just forgot how to use Hybrid or Tensioned rubbers. Sure, I can use them pretty darn well, but they feel slow...

I think 8-80 is pretty good but one can always wish for better.

Even better ones

It would be nice if he got a DHS contract and pushed DHS to make some decent hybrid rubbers.🫣

Probably ZJK gives DONIC more sales than every other sponsored player they have together.

I think Battle 2 has weaker topsheet and oxidizes faster. The oxidazation of the Sanwei is also quite good. I don't remember it oxidazing much. I had Battle 2 that oxidized badly, but the main issue for me was the weaker topsheet. It drags the ball a lot but doesn't snap much back into original...

Mizutani ZLC was 1080RMB for me, I think in Europe it's more around the 2000RMB mark. Okay this was a pretty good discount for me, especially since it's a Japanese market version not Chinese, but Ovtcharov ALC's, normal Viscaria, Harimoto ALC has pretty good price too. There are some brands...

Get the purple package, I recommend thd medium hard. It's cheap on aliexpress about 15-20USD. It is similar to boosted H3 BS, the Sanwei rubber doesn't need boosting. It's already similar to boosted H3 BS out of the pack.

The Rxton 9 is so confusing for me. The only sheet I got (40.5) was so slow like unboosted H3N or B2 national even after I boosted it with 2 layers. Then I see people using softer red R9 on backhand and for sure some seem to like it. Then I see some using it unboosted and saying it is fast...

This might be one of the cheapest Razer products. I'm still pissed at them that my Viper mini scroll wheel click got faulty. It's a bit of an irony that they use optical switches for the two main button(for durability reason) then the scroll wheel click dies. I liked that mouse so much. Still...

Actually this time I had no EJ urges, lately I don't have much. But my middle finger started to feel weird, hurt and I really couldn't explain it other way than my Xiom Ice Cream blade handle causing it. Seems to be the case since now this problem is gone with other FL handle. Tried a few rubber...
