Well, I wanted to cancel the order, but AliExpress didn't allow me to do this for some reason...so I guess here I am with Stuor 20 (Harimoto SZLC copy). Short game is amazing, blocking is very good, top spins and attacking is a little concerning in comparison to Stuor 301 copy. It's different...

Not sure where Nittaku H3 Turbo Blue/Orange is produced (probably japanese sponge?), but these are good unboosted

How come that I never heard of this rubber 🤔 It happened that my friend just yesterday gave me this (regular Xiom China VM) rubber to try out and I glued it today for a test. I have to say I am impressed, indeed as many pointed out in this thread it's a very good h3 substitution. Will stick...

That's interesting, I never tried Hinoki blades

on my level it already does hold me back, I can feel that with a little bit more power I would definitely win against more experienced opponents. However the feel is incomparable

Hi all, table tennis enthusiasts! I want to talk about the Yasaka Ma Lin Extra offensive (yeah, again..). I think the blade is a little outdated for the modern ball. Probably, it's everyone's consensus that for more advanced play it lacks power and support. My experience kinda confirms it...

Here's some footage of me returning to penhold (again!!) for a week or two. BH rubber is Focus III Snipe, it's quite good. Not sure what alternative legal rubber is there for focus 3, unfortunately...

I've used 729 focus 3 snipe for rpb, it's a 'do it all' light rubber, however it's not approved by ITTF, unfortunately, so as Sky wing it seems.

Yep, that's the camera angle..

Calling out some experinced penholders for an advice I have tried YEO, I think it works but doesn't suit the modern ball very well for power play I have tried Viscaria (shakehand version with penhold), but I don't like for power looping -- the ball goes out too much for me. I have tried w968...

yep, exactly the same experience for me

hey it's not "LOKI fans unite", it's "DHS fans unite"!! no, I haven't tried any LOKI rubbers yet :)

where did I say that old H3 are not tacky ?... I think I said exactly what you did

Nope, there are both neo and non-neo versions of H3 with 2.1, 2.15 and 2.2 thicknesses. However, H3 NEO produced after some date are not tacky anymore, the sponge is much more lively and requires less boosting. Non neo in my experience is still much more tacky, the sponge is completely dead...

So it's tacky vs non-tacky, but it's shoes now ??? come on!!!

Xu Xin is not happy with the serve lol edit: I wonder if it's legal to do the hand gesture during opponents serve hmmm

was able to snap the picture from rednote, looks like Xu Xin is still using Xuperman FH rubber. Cool!

The variety is gone, that's what sad. Less styles, whoever has more power wins. There are exceptions of course, like Harimoto mostly counterplays, Xu Xin playing in Chinese Super league basically still plays his own style no matter what, Truls being somewhat creative...but then again WCQ...

I've found multiple posts on rednote (xiaohongshu) and videos on bilibili about existense of Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive 'wordless' version (without print on the surface of the blade and with portrait of Ma Lin instead of words in the lens on the handle). Although I am slowly learning, my...
