  1. China Table Tennis Super League-2022

    Crazy point in the FZD vs Yuan Licen match: https://youtu.be/PleYiq4YBh0?t=399
  2. New Cybershape from STIGA

    They've also announced CWT versions of both cybershape blades. Magnets and weights.... https://www.stigasports.com/en/product/cybershape-carbon-cwt
  3. Andro rasanter c series

    The C topsheet is a lot less tacky than 09c, sponges are a little softer for C53, a lot softer for C48. I think it's a bit easier to generate spin with C with less effort, through the middle gears. You get more out of 09C with very hard swings, or violent brush looping. As airoc mentioned...
  4. Andro rasanter c series

    The marketing is trying to imply that on topspin counters, something about the pip design is "eating" the incoming topspin. Scrubbing it off, so it becomes easier to play counterloop shots because you don't need to apply extreme bat angles to keep the ball down. Honestly - it did feel like you...
  5. Andro rasanter c series

    I've had 3 sessions with them now. They feel a little harder than the equivalent R version, topsheet feels a little tighter, and a touch slower but not hugely. Comparing R48 and C48, or the 53 versions, I think there are 2 main features - better spin on brushy contacts, and a feeling of the...
  6. Andro rasanter c series

    Mine have arrived, I've got: C48, Red, 2.0mm (uncut weight 67.40g) C53, Black, Ultramax (uncut weight 75.42g) As Sherwin mentioned, they're hardly tacky. Less than any Rakza Z I've ever had, less than D09C, and a little less than Hybrid K3 (my sheet of K3 wasn't very tacky). The only rubber...
  7. Andro rasanter c series

    German forum posts have mentioned that it's as tacky as Hybrid K3, but we'll have to see what comes through the letterbox.
  8. Andro rasanter c series

    I have some sheets on the way, will report when I can.
  9. Hurricane 9 official news

    Yup ttnpp have them listed now: http://ttnpp.com/store/dhs/1079-dhs-hurricane-9-6.html $48 though! A lot more expensive than 8-80. You can get a hybrid K3 for that price.
  10. Rasanter C Series

    world-tt say they will be "slightly tacky" https://world-tt.com/blog/news/archives/22573
  11. New Xiom Jekyll and Hyde Rubbers

    Good grief. I assume the C stands for Concrete Little bit more chatter about V and H here: https://world-tt.com/blog/news/archives/22322 V being non-tacky, "like a high-end variation of the Vega line", H being a slightly tacky hybrid.
  12. New Xiom Jekyll and Hyde Rubbers

    To add to Fluff's post above, xiom.jp have posted an interesting "story" about V47.5: https://xiom.jp/?tid=3&mode=f29 The translation seems to hint at a low trajectory until you add sharp bushing contact, which reminds me a bit of Tibhar Hybrid K3. I'm looking forward to giving this a go...
  13. New Xiom Jekyll and Hyde Rubbers

    I think the full list is: V47.5 V52.5 X47.5 X50.0 H52.5 Z52.5 H might be the tackiest one, Z is the expensive "pro" version. I'm not sure which ones are totally different topsheets, I have seen images of V and H on this (crazy) youtube channel...
  14. New Xiom Jekyll and Hyde Rubbers

    Contra and TT11 have got listings for the two V variations, not quite in stock yet but hopefully imminent. Not seen any European listings for the X, Z, or H variants yet unfortunately. The japanese youtube vids do seem to show that H is tackier than V, as fluff mentioned.
  15. Rasanter C Series

    Andro japan have posted some bits on twitter: https://twitter.com/kk_androjp/status/1524600425625710592 The C appears to stand for "Counterspin", the focus is on the shape of the topsheet pips. Not sure if these are hybrids / tacky yet.
  16. Dwindling number

    I think the sport in the UK has a specific image and accessibility problem that might not be the same in other countries. As NDH said, our local leagues have been in decline for many years, average player age is massively up. We had a golden period where working men's clubs, youth clubs and...
  17. Dhs h8-80

    Mine had the corners cut too. Hopefully people are used to the DHS rubber shape by now and can make their own approximations, but it's worth mentioning yes.
  18. Dhs h8-80

    Mine were: 38 degree red - 68.13g 37 degree black - 66.85g
  19. D09c vs H3Neo vs Rakza Z

    Agree with manto on this - Razka Z is much softer than 09C, EH would be a more direct comparison. That said, Brian's review is great. It's always worth bearing playing level in mind with these things - I really love RZ on a fast-ish blade, seems to suit my bang average level perfectly. But Brian...
  20. Dhs h8-80

    Yeah, it's gone oos on a few sites already. I put an order in for a sheet of 38 to see how different it was, but not heard from the seller yet. Guess they're waiting for stock. I like hybrids of all kinds for close-up stuff, and I think it's great for flicks. It's OK for mid-distance, bit...
