I disagree with the statement "it depends". While we test stuff we actually cant improve, at least not in the overall state. We might be able to improve better with newer equipment, and faster but not if we change again in a couple of weeks. In the best circumstances you change your equipment...

Beo, chinese pingpong/toki, Loki official store, GHsports, Newnew, Ali battleship, playapingpong, are the ones i ordered in the past and had no issues whatsoever.

Agree. The VAT are already included in the prices. Check for decent sellers, shipment costs (more common these days for some products) and if necessary contact the sellers. For example i recently got only half of my purchase and rest remained missing. Short message to the seller and half a...

I agree with longle. I boosted my H3 with at least one layer, no matter if it was neo or the non neo version. Especially for bh. And i can play lac on both sides. It still has a stronger bounce/kick than h3 boosted.

I somewhat lack your logic here. So he should rather buy rubbers that cost three times of lac just because he got bad luck or what other reason there might be, why he got bubbles on his rubbers. And you should especially put that garbage K3 out of the equation. I mean that rubber itself has a...

Agree. But that is really odd either way. Im in my second month with it, currently training 8-10 hours/week. And both sides are still fine aside from having caught an edge^^ If im lucky they will make it shortly to the end of summer pause in august. We will see

I switched from FZD ALC to vsea. Ofc one reason is the price tag lf bty and the company itself but the other reason is i can do nearly the same with both with some margin differences. But to do so you need to tweak the techniques a bit. Bh with W968 uses a different technique. To put it simply...

The hardness doesnt give much information about the feel and possibilities of its rubber. I played with both rubbers and D09c doesnt feel that hard at all. Even boosted H3 37 felt harder and less bouncy. And then there is the usage. Playing chop blocks, pushes and full swing attacks like WCQ...

It looks exactly as all of my sheets. Still weird your pimples show up that well. Then i hope that was a onetimer for you that this sheet bubbled up. Im still kicking with both sides LAC and improving fast. Especially bh is amazing. As long as i dont try to flick in slowmo the rubber grabs...

Yeah i thought that too. It is the same with your other sheet. Do you stretch the rubber while glueing? Besides that, i have no clue how you manage to make the rubber look like that^^

That somewhat looks boosted. Pimple structure is more visible and the edges looked a bit curled. At least mine doesnt look that way. Im with my 3rd and 4. Sheet (including bh) and never experienced a bubble like this. Though I did manage to losen the toosheet from the sponge on some edges...

39 and 40 LAC feels softer which it probably is because it is around 49 hardness. And if remember correctly, they use ESN scale. I think its topsheet is softer too. At least it feels that way

"Much better performance" is highly subjective. And i wouldnt agree to "much better" either. Played B2 OS prov for quite some time, but i find LAC simply better by a slight margin in several aspects. But especially for bh it is way better to handle, therefore i made exactly that switch.

LAC is faster in every lower impact shots up until full blown loops. Depending on how well your technique is and how hard you can hit, H3 will probably top out LAC in the harder shots, but not by much either way. Arc is around the same, but the throw angle i higher from LAC. Shortplay is...

This is exactly my biggest issue with several rubbers in that pricecategory. They can be good, or at least somewhat good, but all of a sudden you have a batch that is completely different. I had 3 J3s and one of them was completely whack. But at least all of them were sticky af. Same with BD...

Ehm weird, because ive never seen Arthur Pro. Do you have a link or any information about that one?

Ok that would probably mean that the TIII 81 is probably the Loki Pro rubber with the 010 number. Because that is the only rubber that is missing from the ITTF-List.

No i would simply not. Partially because i despise Butterfly way too much for its distribution decisions and their disgusting prices. And also because i dont see the point for paying more for close to no improvement. Even if there is (and it most certainly should^^) it is not noticably at my...

I actually had the chance to hit with the D09c at the end of last week and swapped rackets with my trainingpartner. So yeah LAC has some characteristics that are comparable to D09c but i wouldnt say they are that similar. - D09c has a higher throw than LAC - Arc is nearly the same, at least...

It doesnt actually play the same. The harder untypical bounce off, of a chinese rubber, can be triggered way easier with LAC. So it actually is surprisingly easier to use to get a serious force behind your shots (for us amateurs), than with H3. It somewhat is similar in some way because...
