Here's a little review of my current setup: FH Hurricane 3 NEO Ma Long 42 Blue sponge BH Hurricane 3 NEO Ma Long 37 Orange sponge Blade: DHS Hurricane long 5 Gold Slam (commercial version) FH rubber: I have to say that 42 deg doesn't feel like 42 at all. I put 3 layers of regular Seamoon and...

I have then same experience with blocking with h3 os. Other shots - very good performance. Blue sponge is fine, the ball sinks into the sponge better. May be when DHS changed the formula to less tack it's now very booster dependant, in two weeks some effect is gone already, the sponge is not...

GHL5 and ML H3 42 w968 was so hard to hit through without 3 layers of booster on the fh h3...so trying out commercial Golden Slam version. And ML h3 is just because i always wanted to try the top tier commercial rubber DHS is offering (whether it's indeed a different beast or just better...

It's Hurricane 3 and whatever Dignics blade seems to be outer carbon, probably Golden Vis that he was playing before for awhile with swapped handle.

watching some videos on bilibili and having an input from my friend in China (he found my videos!) I think I should be roughly 1700-1800 Chinese rating. Thanks for the input @zeio

thanks for the input, everyone!

I play competitively in Russia, the ratings here are completely different and won't say much to anyone outside. I played in Slovakia in 2019-2020 competitively in leagues, with the help of Facebook I've found the club called VIKTÓRIA PETRŽALKA and played for the time I was in Slovakia. Found...

Makes sense. Anyway, I think this thread is uselss since I've found some bilibili videos where rating of the players is shown, for USATT it's quite easy to find on YT.

Hi, I post videos on my YT Channel and I was curious what my rating would be (approximately, of course) in China and in USATT systems? The link for YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@brieftabletennisequipmentr1579 That's not a promotion, I really am curious...

Here's some gameplay with TG2 Provincial blue sponge. This rubber is amazing when boosted and very average when not (like all dhs rubbers with orange/blue sponges...) and suits penhold the best. It was used by Ma Lin and Xu Xin for third ball attack, control and loopkill and to my feeling it is...

I did. Not sure what your comment is about, I did point out what I personally think and was exactly on point.

how about This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name

When a person talks about his achievements (medals and trophies) 'junk' it literally tells something about his attitude towards table tennis. He never truly loved it. Ok he actually says that around 7:10, good thing that he understands that and good video overall, I think I personally got to...

h8 is a bit less spin, a bit more speed. On my Intensity the 39 degrees 2.15 plays very nicely, in fact Ma Long star version h3 37 is a bit too mushy for my blade. Also, h8 bottoms out a bit easier, i think the overall conclusion is that h8 is easier to play version of h3. Plenty enough for me...

Was able to watch almost every game in the finals. What an epic match! On the side note, this thread is so big I wonder if anyone discussed how Sora played vs WCQ and his reactions on how Tomo was loosing some points ? It's like he was rushing to serve, rolling his eyes when Tomo missed, etc...

Try re-boosting with Haifu National Black. It doesn't soften the sponge much, but does add the kick. Evaporates faster, like maybe boosting once a week with black is a good idea. I do that now with my DHS rubbers.

There is no wisdom in EJing...only fun. Decide on your own :)

Another Stiga Intensity NCT V Xu Xin edition arrived yesterday from China. They say: ask and you shall receive...so asked for 84 grams, received 92. The piece is heavy, but playable with tg2 + h8 I guess. Marvellous blade. Nothing can compare to the feeling of loopkill with this 5 ply allwood...

calendar is the poor man's version of actual Stiga Dynasty Horse Year edition. Looks cool though!

I don't think anyone in a national team plays with 729 rubbers. I've played with B2 national in golden package, it's a decent rubber considering the price. Still I think DHS rubbers have better feeling and stability, especially when boosted these can't be replaced with any 729 rubber.
