I quite like the idea, and I'm sure there would be a way to implement it, IF the ITTF was open to this. They would just have to add a few new rules to clarify what is and what isn't allowed.

I love to watches mathces when an attacker plays a defender, which often has amazing ralleys. Any matches with Joo Se Hyuk are my favourites.

Rakza 7 soft seems the logical choice, as it's most similar to regular Rakza 7 but with a softer (and thus lighter) sponge. A thinnner sponge will only make a very small difference, as most of the weight is in the topsheet (because it's much more dense than sponge).

Same here. All the clubs used Nittaku almost exclusively in the eighties/nineties because they were the best, but these days they use a variety of balls, the DHS the most common.

I would certainly still use it, would be a waste not to. I doubt very much you'll notice any difference once it's glued back on.

You're right, great video, he explains it really well! I'm going to going to practice that, is going to take some time i think!

Yes, that one and Donic F3 Big Slam. I don't know of any Chinese rubbers that come close to how loud these rubbers are.

I agree! A long description that actually says very little about the blade and it's characteristics or what makes it different from their other blades. Is the weight range really 80-95g? That would be huge. I do like the looks of the handle, but probably not enough to buy one :)

I actually prefer the DHS balls (D40+) to the others, because they seem to spin better, which is something most important to my game. The Nittaku do feel more solid, and I do like that feel, but I just don't seem to get the same spin from these balls. The Double Fish ones feel rougher on the...

If the rubber is only mildly tacky to start with, I always use adhesive protection sheets to maintain the tackiness. I like the Donic foils, but I'm sure there are many others that are good too. With Hurricane (commercial) it depends on how sticky it is to start with, as there is a lot of...

The spin rating refers to the amount of topspin you get from a loop. However the amount of spin you actually get depends a lot on technique. No doubt Butterfly's ratings are based on the amount of spin that a professional gets on their loops, which will be quite different to the amount of spin...

Yes, that is KEY I think, if you change rubbers a lot, seal your blades well, and the rubber will come off easily with most glues that you use.

It says "Max. 1 pcs/shopper", which I assume means 1 piece per shopper for USD0.99, does not matter how many they have in stock. I think USD0.99 is an introductory price, an incentive to buy more stuff. EDIT: I wonder if I'm seeing different info based on the fact that I've not used them before?

Funny I had exactly the same thought! That may well be where the idea came from.

It says "Max. 1 pcs/shopper" under Quantity.

Note though that you only get 1 sheet at that price, further sheets will be at their regular price, which is still very cheap, I agree.

I'd have at least 20 bats, but really only use one (plus a backup) for serious play. I made up a lot of bats just for trying stuff or for demo purposes, but I found that it's only on rare occasions people are interested... so it's all been a bit of waste and rubbers degrade over time, so I don't...

Yes I agree, these antispin rubbers will work fine on a wide variety of blades. It's probably more important to match the blade to your non-anti rubber, which will have a much greater impact.

Since it's an ESN rubber (made in Germany), I don't expect it to be much different to others of similar generation. 55deg is quite hard, so likely to be very heavy too.

My thoughts exactly! What feels great in a quick hit up, might not work well in a game, where you find out the weaknesses.
