    I think the composition will be: Black sharpie Viscaria Black sharpie
  2. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    I understand your points, but they aren't new. This kind of moral/situational relativism has always been around. You can always say to the police - yes, you caught me jaywalking, but what about the shoplifter over there? And then the shoplifter can say - what about the owner of this store who...
  3. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    We all have bias - it's unavoidable - and Baal has hit some of mine here. I'm very focused on the mortality aspect because I'm a high risk case myself. And I forget how lucky I am to live in a country with socialised health care, so I don't have to worry anywhere near as much as you guys over...
  4. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    This is still a superficial comparison, and you need much more data to make anything useful about it or else it becomes a misleading over-simplification. Which is why listening to experts and evaluating their advice on the evidence they present is the less risky option, in comparison with basic...
  5. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    You can compare anything with anything, that doesn't make it a useful comparison. It's just an emotional/political response. Not useful in the grand scheme of things. For example - drunk driving, as far as I know, isn't a communicable virus. Declaring a state of emergency about drunk driving...
  6. Andro Rasanter R53 vs butterfly dignics 05

    This is a good point. The 64-80-05 convention just allows you to judge playing properties within a specific range of rubbers (so comparing Dignics to other Dignics). Comparing them to Tenergy just means we're back to the "this one is closest overall to" type of vague handwaving, which I know...
  7. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    "More dangerous" is an interesting statement, potentially hiding a lot of complexity. What's the death rate of Type B? How does that compare to corona? How does that death rate change across different risk groups (age, existing health conditions, etc)? How do the treatment plan and outcome...
  8. Andro Rasanter R53 vs butterfly dignics 05

    Mine is around a month old, like Airoc's, and I don't think it's changed much in that time. Too early to say how long it lasts.
  9. Andro Rasanter R53 vs butterfly dignics 05

    This is a good way of putting it! I find D64 to be more uniform overall, less of the split personality feeling. I'm still highly curious about D09C though. For the time being, I can live with 5 missed close-in shots if I get 1 amazing winner from 20 meters away. I won't win many matches...
  10. Andro Rasanter R53 vs butterfly dignics 05

    I agree with yoass's caveats above. Dignics rubbers have a pretty unique feel IMO and are hard to compare with other options. R53 is brilliant (the best of the current ESN "hard" wave), but is more of a variation on previous ESN themes. Both fast with really good top-end power. Something...
  11. Custom shirts

    We get ours from Pawel at ppong.co.uk. He's got a good range of base styles and can support all sorts of logo and text placement options.
  12. 2020 World Tour Hungarian Open

    That was a really impressive change in momentum. Dima looked out of it after game 2.
  13. Xiom's Vega Europe DF vs new Vega X

    As Yogi said, they are quite different. The DF range have unusually soft topsheets. Vega X has a harder sponge and topsheet, is faster, and is more spin sensitive. Control and feeling are very subjective. Vega X is a solid example of what a middle-of-the-road ESN rubber is these days - not...
  14. 2020 World Tour Hungarian Open

    Dima and Dyjas had a right old ding dong on table 3.
  15. ELLEX-M - New Blade Material from Butterfly

    I feel a great disturbance in the force. As if millions of wallets cried out in terror, and were suddenly empty.
  16. Europe Top 16 Cup - 2020

    Timothy Bill - when will the reign of terror finally end?
  17. Andro releases Rasanter R53

    It's about the same as the Grip overall to a finger press test, but it feels...stiffer...in use. Lower catapult, more linear. I guess that difference comes from the much smaller pores. Grip does genuinely feel like a softer Powergrip, but Powergrip SFX (at least the one I have here) seems...
  18. Andro releases Rasanter R53

    I was surprised by that Powergrip SFX when I got it - really small pores in comparison to the rest of the new Hexers. It feels much harder than 42.5 as well. Plays well though.
  19. Andro releases Rasanter R53

    Got a sheet of R53, black, ultramax today. Top-to-bottom: Hexer Powergrip SFX 2.1 Hexer Powergrip 2.1 Rasanter R47 Ultramax Rasanter R53 Ultramax Sponge porosity is very close to R47, but smaller than HPG. Topsheet looks very similar to R47, maybe the pip spacing is slightly wider for R53...
