Of course, it happens with any blade manufacturer, even Butterfly. Wood is wood, it's all different. People claim that with BTY or Stiga or other 'premium' brand it's different, however I find that the variation is just less than with cheaper blades. Option 1: become rich. Buy 100 blades and...

also, some cool 2026 Stiga Dynasty edition will be released in China it seems. Good marketing, I want one :)

hhmm here it is on prott

Gave my Intensity NCT V to my student (he's the same age as me) instead of his Yinhe Pro 05. The trajectory of the top spin is insanely safe, powerful when needed too! He gained around 50 rating points almost instantly and also says that the feeling of the blade is outstanding. I would even go...

Also to those who actually want to learn proper technique without the rubber 'pop' by itself. It is much more satistfying to hit a loopkill with H3 or B2 or Skyline 2 than with T05 or whatever tensor. On a higher level the footwork and stamina is a must anyway, so rubber is complementary to the...

ah, finally Pentium III Will see if this one is a revolution or another version of battle that is completely the same as the other b2s or b3.

Purchased YEO from AliExpress and here are some of my observations: - the seller promised the 'wordless' version with Ma Lin portrait, however I received a regular one - the wood structure and grain looks EXACTLY like my Stiga Intensity NCT V - it has JTTAA printed on the handle, while the EU...

To me on the backhand side I switch between H8 and Xiom Vega X. New vega x almost 100% outperforms Chinese rubbers, however after only 1 week of everyday play the ball starts to slip a lot during the shots where I have to be more passive (meaning, the top sheet becomes unusable in some...

One more short vid with Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive (aka YEO), DHS Skyline 2 provincial blue sponge and Xiom Vega X. Overall, this is the best combo I think for me. If Rosewood V and Intensity V are somewhat similar, then YEO is a different beast. Trajectory is more flat, a bit easier to use...

When I was little I thought this is real. These days I'm still impressed on how they managed to make this video.

Down to personal preference, only you can decide what's best for you and your playstyle. I personally don't like the curled fingers on the back, it just doesn't fit naturally to me, however straight finger is better so I kinda settled on that. Also, notice how relaxed your grip is, it's pretty...

Good to have another table tennis movie, especially with good budget and actors. Besides Balls of fury (comedy), As One (Korean sports drama) and Ping Pong the animation, is there really any other movie/cartoon about table tennis?

All blades mentioned are 'power' oriented choice. H3 suits well both 301 and outer carbon blades. Of course there's more spin on those potentially, but in my personal experience outer carbon blades always produced more spin on thin brushes. Have a look at the trajectory of the ball from Wang...

Well, Azalea is 5 ply wooden blade with 5.6mm thickness(!!!). The 'crispness' comes from the outer carbon blade (+koto). I think 5ply wooden blades are fine, but not that thin for a modern ball...may be you should start saving for a new blade and keep the rubbers. T05 is an amazing choice for...

Since there's no information about your level, stay with DHS H3+booster on the forehand since you're already accustomed to it, this rubber literally is for every skill level. As for the blade...no idea what's your level, but Stuor blades are very much fine and within your budget. Try other...

That moment when ML and XX hugged each other at the end...man, to me this felt like a true end of a legendary era of table tennis. Table tennis in 2014-2020 is much different that today's game, even though the ball hasn't change since then. Players adapted and play way more aggesively and close...

If you have an option to try out all of these then why not decide by yourself?.. it's completely up to your technique and personality

And in addition to that Stiga Rosewood NCT V + the same rubbers. Rosewood feels stiffer, but on powerful shots it's still flexy. I think it better suits poly ball to be honest. Opinion regarding rubbers didn't change: B2 is still very controllable, spinny, but not powerful. H8 is ok :) My...

This is my main setup currently. B2 without booster works ok, still worse than boosted DHS Skyline 2/H3, it lacks power a little bit, but still spins the ball and is a bit more stable/predictable than boosted DHS. My opponents have much easier time blocking against b2, but this forces me to...

Be careful with that thing edit: huh, this is Stiga rubbers thread. Every time my friends or opponents used Stiga rubbers it's either these wear out really quick, or the spin is much lesser compared to Bty or DHS rubbers. The speed was ok.
