I have seen this too with 8-80, sponge is a bit fragile. I think 8-80 is easier to use, but performance is just similar to D09c. D09c is better for sure. That being said 8-80 is quite durable if you glue it on and leave it. The topsheet will outlast D09c several times in hours. My biggest...

I think Dignics and Glayzer have the most chipping on the edges, except for 09c, that doesn't do it at all. Tenergy also does it but not as bad. Still, besides that Dignics and Glayzer durability is still probably one of the best if not the best of all rubbers. Some older ESN rubbers are not...

Mixed review from pros, but seems some try to adopt it. Maybe it needs a significantly different technique and strategy to use well so one who is already used to the current equipment finds it hard to adjust his style and strategy.

Pro players wait about 30-40 minutes. In China the pros actually do 3-4 layers on the rubber and one on the blade. But I find the 2-2 better since less wait time and makes more sure all the blade is covered well with glue. 3-2 would also be a good way. Just be careful that depending on your...

This I not necerally will be an advice how to glue but maybe some will take away some things that are important. I had run out of glue, and I could only could do 2 very thin layer on sponge and on blade. The feelin of that rubber was so metallic and hollow and slow... It was a Chinese rubber...

It's true Chinese rubbers can take more until they get nicked. I'm not a huge fan of ESN but they are no worse than Butterfly in this regard. (Chinese rubbers have durability issues too, but different ones) Also hitting the table is not intended use. I think you shouldn't drive your car into...

Sorry the forum sometimes loads the replied text slow on phone and I don't notice I write something before the quote. I would say I'd look at clubs old shared rackets. Maybe there's old DHS "pre-made" which has H1. In my country, we have a ton of 30+ year old 729 rackets with original rubbers...

I think that's just glue on the side of the sponge. Happens to me all the time too.

My s My second thought was that the print on the sponge didn't really evolve much either, I think a few years ago they still used that print for the serial number. Maybe even now it can be found on some DHS rubbers. Pretty old school but I like it.

DHS cutting corners since forever 😓

Good call. Blue sponge one. It doesn't need boost and a bit lighter than purple. I actually was lucky enough to buy purple when it was still manufactured. I liked it a lot too just very heavy. 55-57g cut. BD5 i will search on taobao if it looks interesting I might try. Not everyone is a strong...

Heck, I'm at 2000 points in China now which is not bad at all, some people say that is province level, but I play with "ALMOST" former province level payers and by this I mean the players who didn't get to play super league with the big boys but they are not far off even if they are past their...

I'm talking about 14-18 USD so does Dianchi worth 30bucks? It does not in these conditions. If someone loves it then it's worth 200USD+ Who am I to judge?

i tell you the best advice you ever get for free. Go to China for a month, and use their squat toilets. No more words need to be said. Every other advice is bullshit. Ps. Also don't crap on your pants or ankles. That doesn't count.

I can respect that, and maybe out of the pack the Dianchi D is better than H3N OS prov. But still disqualified since it's factory boosted. H3N maybe also factory boosted but I have my doubts recently that DHS is not doing it just shitting on the glue layer and telling everyone to swallow their crap.

I said without boost is the rule. Big dipper boosted, also factory boosted I don't see it above H3N, Jupiter 3 Asia also boosted so meh. Double Dish Volant slightly boosted would be around H8-80 or H3N factory level.

Well what to say? I guess the list is like best sticky FH rubbers that don't need boosting that are made in China. I think many people like me don't fancy boosting that much, so we look for the holy grail of rubbers that is like a boosted H3N BS for cheap. My list is below but probably...

I compared the Vega China Plus and Vega China and it's obvious the Vega China Plus has harder sponge and ESN thin topsheet. So the thin topsheet is why it feels so light and more relaxed. Vega China is nicer. One more thing, both suck bad with Yinhe plastic ball. I don't like the Yinhe ball but...

In China I see Zyre price will be 855RMB and first availability 1st of October.

I think everyone's assessment that it feels dead is on the spot. I can feel it too. It is very much like a medium boosted 41+ hardness Chinese rubber with a more relaxed topsheet. By relaxed I mean not as hard, not as snappy. The sponge is faster than Chinese rubbers that are advertised as they...
