  1. it's just insane (aliexpress)

    it is different from country to country. In the case of NZ it has already been a while. Before, small parcels with a declared value of (maybe) under NZ$ 100 were coming through customs without being charged any taxes. I think it was pressure from the local retailers that made the government...
  2. it's just insane (aliexpress)

    Same here, I buy just about everything from Aliex not only my TT-gear but also my socks , shorts and car wind- screen wipers etc etc. 🤣 ............and the government takes 15 % of everything.
  3. it's just insane (aliexpress)

    No government ever gets enough tax money 🤣 🤣 🤣
  4. it's just insane (aliexpress)

    got absolutely nothing to do with Aliex. They are simply now collecting on behalf of the governments.So when the parcel arrives at your custom there won't be any tax to be paid anymore.
  5. Yinhe Big Dipper 5 Review: A Budget No-Boost Alternative to Hurricane 3 Neo with Some Tradeoffs

    can be a slippery slope though because i felt i got even less dwell time and much less control when i tried a Rozena instead of my usual chinese sticky hard stuff. 😁
  6. Drugs in Table Tennis?

    what i really would like to know is if there actually "IS" some drug- testing happening at the international -pro level. I know for a fact that Ritalin can help players with ADS , after all paying attention is very important in our game.
  7. Boosting Layers.

    When it comes to boosting ask 100 players and you will get 100 different opinions. Have fun 🤣 🤣 🤣
  8. Boosting Layers.

    if you know that it is already soft then why boost it at all ????? I use commercial H3 2.15- 40 un-boosted, what i am trying to say is that maybe the good approach might be to glue the rubber on the blade un-boosted and give it a try. Then you can decide if you need boosting or not .
  9. If you were to upgrade Butterfly logo to the "Gold Label" version...

    Why not ! It's a free world and making something a bit more personal is a great hobby. 😇 Personally I hate metal labels at the end of the grip if they are not recessed perfectly because I like to stand my blades up to let the rubbers dry properly after a clean.
  10. My expensive and frustrating search for a forehand defensive rubber.

    I am happy with Rxton 3 PRO on FH and Rxton 9 on the BH but with the 9 you have to get the correct one of the 5 versions they got, it is called: LOKI RXTON 9 Provincial Team Special it features a small picture on the cover of Zhou Yu ????
  11. Cheap Chinese Gear

    Are you an AI ??
  12. My expensive and frustrating search for a forehand defensive rubber.

    I agree but there is of course another little problem with H3 namely that the stickiness has diminished drastically :(
  13. Cheap Chinese Gear

    I use the good old fashioned DHS H3 OS hard and unboosted and found it great for blocking, slow "hot potato play" but also BH wrist flicks against incoming back-spin serves. Another rubber is very similar and also sticky is the Loki Rxton 9 provincial special. The problem with it is, Loki...
  14. My expensive and frustrating search for a forehand defensive rubber.

    As you just said :" Go back to your blade that worked for you". It was stupid to change the blade. (your words) p.s. to buy a H3 provincial 38° will just add to the confusion spiral.
  15. Cheap Chinese Gear

    Sanwei T5000 for about US$ 10 is excellent blade for the money. No need to spend more unless you are into serious competition. Buy it from a good shop at Aliex
  16. United States Smash 2026, Los Angeles, 6/26-7/5

    So, what's in them bottles and is there any dope testing ??????
  17. United States Smash 2026, Los Angeles, 6/26-7/5

    I get it. 🤣 ......but there is actually no rule that orders black to be FH
  18. Screwed by AliExpress.... again.

    Indeed things with taxes etc. are getting weird. I bought a blade from Aliex paying NZ$ 28 included was postage and 15% taxes. When I tried to get another one of these blades it was not available anymore in China. After searching the "universe" i found one on Ebay-Germany, price including WUST...
