What I've heard from several people selling things it is not really working good from the other side. My friend was selling some handmade stuff and then buyer claimed it was not as it should be and provided AI altered photos of the item showing it being in bad really shape. They froze the...

Actually I decided to try again H8-80 after reaidng your review. 2 years ago I had it on slower all-wood blade and it felt dead and not very reactive (although serves were great as it was still really tacky). I bought Donic Waldner WC89 what appeared to be stiffer and harder than I expected...

Bought a sheet at the beginning of August and it is able to lift the ball for like 2 seconds so it is a lot nowadays. On the other side I have Hurricane 8-80 what is similar (maybe slightly better). I tested Hurricane 8-80 two years ago and it was crazy long lifting like 5 seconds or something -...

DOTCI is for sure much slower than Donic Waldner WC89, but WC89 is I guess one of the fastest inner carbon blades, it shows me 1500Hz and I have Donic Anders Lind for comparison (WC89 also faster). DOTCI seems for me on par with Ovtcharov No.1 Senso and Yinhe Pro 03 regarding speed. I think...

This BTY Kreanga Carbon I saw once for sale second-hand, it had gray paint from head sanded out to comply with the ITTF rules.

Ovtcharov No. 1 is Senso version, so is obviously more head heavy than others due to empty handle. Head-heavyness: Ovtcharov no. 1 Senso > Donic Waldner WC89 > Donic Original True Carbon Inner Donic original True Carbon Inner also less head-heavy than Yinhe Pro 05 (not surprising, in some thread...

Donic Original True Carbon Inner was much less head heavy than other inner blades I had. I sold it some time a go, but player using it was last week at my venue so I asked to grab it for a moment just to remind me the feeling. In comparison to Donic Waldner WC89 and especially Donic Ovtcharov...

DFVP2 is great quality for the price, not really tacky and indeed feels a little like linear euro rubber (as far as chinese one can feel). H35 should feel like quite soft (I played with H37). Difficult to find something more user friendly in this price shelf - especially non tacky.

Yeah I am really loving our rivalry, we both improved during last year, he also got better at punishing every too-high-receive I give him with good smash. Also great guy personally, you cannot really get mad at when he wins. He plays every week in three different places, as you said people love...

I have in my group a guy who really pushes and chops a lot, lets refer to him as "full time pusher". He is kind of main rival for me as he is training a lot and progressing within his style of play so even he always play the same, he is very consistent and a formidable opponent for me. There are...

Sanwei Gear Hyper which cover I see on the image is completely not tacky at all, at least for me it was like one of the most tack-less rubbers. It has some kind of tension effect though - at least mid-hard one I tested. Good BH rubber. Once I tried buying it on other store than official sanwei...

Really loving his backhand and generally his way of playing, he seems to be doing every stroke really pleasing for my eyes (no idea if they are really perfect technique by the book - never been even in proximity of tt coach). I hope he can keep this form

This is interesting, so out of curiosity, can you tell me if possible weight reduction is significant with usual size reduction you do? like how much you shave off (like 1mm maybe?) and how much blade weight changed. I guess some guys may prefer different size due to different reasons like...

I tried Telson Germany 45 and it was for me quite good BH rubber. Not really tacky, but while touching the rubber with the finger it was not completely non-tacky. Strange feeling. The spin on the serve was decent, almost like with tacky rubbers (I use BH serve quite often) and speed was quite...

The 729 battle III topsheet for me always start looking really ugly in short time no matter how much I care for it (what annoys me a lot), but yeah it plays well. The one I sold some Junior player like half year ago plays still decently despite looking dead-beaten as she plays at least 4 times...

It is clear the values provided are not enough to describe every aspect of blade behaviour. Still very useful and I have to admit few times I bought a second-hand blade based on the parameter values and I was quite happy with the result. For sure this website is a great effort to have some...

A fellow Equipment Junkie - hard to find a better forum for that than this one!

Thanks for very informative contribution about the view from the inside and internal politics

I am also a fan of this Donic handles. My colleague from club has this Donic Original Carbo Speed and he really loves it, I tried it and it was strange for me, fast, hard, also quite light on the weight I think. His topspins on both wings are great with it (rather thanks to his skills though :)...

Thanks, I saw once second-hand blade like that, but thought it is actually ST and maybe only looked strange because of camera angle. Now I think it may be just conical continuously getting wider.
