  1. Why single-ply hinoki not popular in plastic ball era

    Avalox still makes those, they're just very hard to get.
  2. Dignics 64

    Same for Australia. I was lucky to get a sample to test, I'm testing it at the moment.
  3. Liam Pitchford signs with Victas. Plans to use V>15 Extra rubber

    The Gear-in is actually a little thicker (and stiffer) compared to the Gear out, but it's hard to give the blade a single number for speed, because it has gears...(pun intended). :D
  4. Liam Pitchford signs with Victas. Plans to use V>15 Extra rubber

    It's the ZX-Gear IN he's chosen, all three ZX-Gear blades are composite, using Zexion carbon fiber technology. The ZX-Gear IN is the fastest of the three. They're nice blades, all made in Japan.
  5. Can anyone help me with my rubber dhs huricane 3 național ?

    Yes, I think it's the cleaner too. I don't think you're meant to use it every day. I always clean with water most of the time, and only use a cleaner when I feel it's starting lose grip. Do you use protection sheets? If so, do you ever put them on when the rubber is still wet from the cleaner...
  6. Can anyone help me with my rubber dhs huricane 3 național ?

    It looks like some chemical reacted with the topsheet... perhaps you used too much of the cleaner? I've seen many hurricanes years old, and they look nothing like this. We can't tell from the picture if the rubber is a genuine Hurricane Nat Blue, where did you buy it from?
  7. Can an App improve your Table Tennis? Interview with Brett Clarke from ttEDGE

    I checked with Brett (one of the owners), and he confirmed it was removed from the App store. He said the App Store give you a neverending job to fix something that they've decided they no longer like.. and if you don't fix it, they remove the App from the store. Brett is extremely annoyed by...
  8. Has average rally length really decreased?

    Thanks zeio, awesome post! Where did the graphs come from, another paper perhaps?
  9. The best international web sites to buy tt equipment?

    I don't know about Mexico, but some countries have a bad reputation for parcels getting lost. Sometimes it's a Customs problem, sometimes parcels get stolen somewhere along the line, or there could be other reasons. When a shop find that a large percentage of parcels are getting lost, they have...
  10. Thoughts on JOOLA Infinity Robot

    Personally I'm perplexed why Joola would put the development of a new robot on kickstarter. I find it very unusual for a TT manufacturer to ask customers for funding a new robot, why can't they fund it themselves? I get that these customers are getting a better price, but they'll also wear the...
  11. Stiga Mantra - possibly the best priced tensor

    I think 'Tensioned' is the commonly accepted term, which includes Tensors, Spring sponge and a variety of others.
  12. Misaligned rubber cut

    That does not look right... and I've never seen anything like this. Return it.
  13. Why no ESN brand released short pips with newer tensor technology?

    Victas release 3 new ESN Tensor short pimples in the last few year, the VO>101, VO>102 and more recently the VO>103.
  14. Joola bought Joola

    Another thing to consider is that some brands are very big in the recreational markets, which really boost their presence. In Australia Butterfly is the clear leader when it come to Club level, but at recreational level I suspect Donic might lead. Joola used to be big and popular in the 80s/90s...
  15. backhand rubber only for block/receive/fishing

    Any of the traditional rubbers (think Sriver, mark V, etc) with a thin sponge should work well for this. They tend to very insensitive to incoming spin (compared to modern rubbers), can still produce decent pace and spin if you need it.
  16. My new foam edge tape

    Joola & Dr Neubauer have these foam tapes too, very useful for protecting the blade edge, especially for Balsa blades (and Dr N has many of those!). Not as cheap as Aliexpress of course :D
  17. Ittf account

    That cracked me up! :D
  18. Ittf account

    An ITTF account for what purpose? If it's for the video, you'll get asked to create one when you try to watch the match.
  19. How to make table tennis video with non-play edited out ?

    Windows movie maker is free (or at least used to be), which is quite easy to use for editing.
