Thanks for posting this. I usually watch Table Tennis Gan on youtube, he looks like a semi-pro (or retired professional player) too. Enjoy watching players with proper technique doing the equipment reviews. But really if Viscaria "0.5-1" points "worse" in some categories, I think it won't...

I've tried FastArc G-1 on stiffer blades and didn't like it as well. It suits flexible ones with more dwell time IMO

I can do both boosted and unboosted, but H3 was made to be used with speed glue. Or these days - boosted.

Actually, I did. I've glued Dignics 05 on the backhand side and now it's just outstanding, I can even counter loop with this setup on the BH, which I never excel at...Just flick the wrist and boom! It's very sensitive to the incoming spinny balls, the wrist has to be very relaxed and precise to...

Anybody knows what Zhu Yi currently uses? I got addicted to watching Chinese table tennis and Zhu Yi amazes me with his technique. I wonder what equipment does he use? It's definitely H3 blue sponge FH, but BH is questionable... The blade is likely Viscaria clone from Yinhe or Viscaria itself...

If you go with commercial better use some booster, otherwise you'll likely be disappointed

I wouldn't agree that DHS bo2 has a lot of dwell and flex...it's rather stiff. Long 5 is very flexy though, but less controllable. Haven't played with Donic Waldner Senso Carbon but according from the reviews online (which actually say little about the blade, since it's all people's opinions)...

I wonder if there's a national version of H8-80. Watching a couple of games by Cho Seungmin now, he's a beast with his backhand. And there was a topic somewhere here on the forum that he plays with H8-80 on the BH and is sponsored by DHS. I also wonder where can I get legit w968 with which he...

This is well put. Better save up for decent shoes and use for several years. No kidding, I ordered Mizuno Wave Drive from tabletennis11 and been using them for 2 years now. Playing A LOT of table tennis, in leagues, trainings 3-4 times a week, etc. There's almost nothing remaining of the insole...

I have old Long 2 (with bigger head size and printing). It's the most flexible blade I've ever played, I can even feel that when blocking...the ball rebounds faster on faster top spins. But I think it's different than Long 3, the outer layer is smoked limba, not regular one. Probably other...

nah most fierce debates are usually about h3 boosting

yes

Divide by countries then. National player from any country == Provincial level player from China. /sacrasm But really I think high level players are going to win even with cheap equipment. As always, it's not about Rakza vs Tenergy, it's about skill. Go buy whatever popular Rakza and spend...

If you brush the ball well, it's going to bubble pretty soon (especially Blue sponged H3s). My friend has pretty good FH top spin and his commercial H3 bubbled in a couple of weeks. Yes, DHS quality control may suck for commercial versions, but IMO on pretty high level Provincial Orange sponged...

Best video: hands down Apple i-phone (apparently this word is banned huh?). Best photo: Samsung Galaxy S22/S21 Ultra or Google Pixel. It's proven so many times that Google Pixel has the best colour science (digital processing) in terms of photos. Apple products seconds this. If you're planning...

I've found that it's so much easier to do BH flip with any ball with tacky rubber on the BH. Just get to position correctly and just swing the wrist - the rubber will do the rest. H3 / FastArc G1 (it's very grippy) / H8-80 all work very, very well. I would assume that most modern hybrids will...

I personally found that I can loop kill the ball easier with more flexy blades like Long 5, Nittaku Acoustic, PG-7, Yinhe PD-437, etc. With Fang Bo 2 (rather stiff inner carbon blade), Timo Boll Spirit, ZJK ALC I am lacking confidence, since no flex on powerful strokes. May be with more softened...

Flicking with H3 on the FH is amazing, I can definitely agree. For some reason I am able to control the angle much better, than with ESN rubber on the FH during the flick. Or may be it's just a matter of practicing more with ESN 🤷

I want to believe that too! But I really can't :) Hence there's no actual gameplay video, it will not show Acoustic on the good side. My goal was to show that with the proper preparation for the shot (footwork, technique) Acoustic can do magic. For me, flexible blades were always way to go. With...

Nope, I used commercial H3, with which I already played for a couple of months. But it was boosted once with a single layer of Seamoon back then, never re-boosted. Never tried Acoustic Carbon, can't really compare these two...always wanted to try Acoustic Carbon Inner though.
