  1. Other candidates for GOAT

    Okay y'all so I think most people would agree that Ma Long is the GOAT of men's table tennis. He's the most decorated, and he's demonstrated an incredible ability to strategize and adapt his style of play to beat any opponent. But I think that there are solid arguments that other players are the...
  2. Stiga Dynasty Carbon (Xu Xin)

    Stiga Dynasty Carbon (Xu Xin)

    The Stiga Dynasty Carbon is the blade that Xu Xin has been using since the switch to plastic balls. This blade comes in two versions: the regular version and the Xu Xin version. The only difference between the versions is that the Xu Xin version has Xu Xin's signature on the blade, and has a...
  3. Nittaku Miyabi

    Nittaku Miyabi

    The Nittaku Miyabi is made with only one allwood ply of Kiso Hinoki wood. This is a fast blade with a soft feel. The unique, soft feeling is provided by the Kiso Hinoki wood that is used in its construction. Hinoki is a very fragile material.
  4. Andro Rasanter C53

    Andro Rasanter C53

    Rasanter C53 is the hardest version (53 degrees) of Andro's new Rasasnter-C series. The C series is along the lines of a hybrid rubber -- slightly tacky, with a hard sponge and tensor technology. C stands for "Counterspin". Rasanter-C is a modified version of the well-known Rasanter-R and...

    Xu Xin Dynasty Carbon (excited to try Xu Xin's equipment!) Nittaku Miyabi FL (I play with the cpen version of this blade and got it in handshake so I can train with both)
  6. Ma Lin Extra Offensive

    Review by 'greenbeanmachine' on item 'Ma Lin Extra Offensive'

    This is a fantastic blade that allows you to play some really amazing shots with ease. It's made specially for Ma Lin's style, and that shows. I am reviewing the penhold version of this blade (the version that Ma Lin used). Design: Ma Lin Extra Offensive is designed for playing penhold in the...

  7. Dignics 05 vs Tenergy 05 Hard

    There are differences, of course. But I think there are many ways in which they feel similar and allow you to play similar shots. T05 Hard and Chinese rubbers both have a hard sponge, and I think that affects the playing properties a lot. T05 Hard also has a lower throw angle than other EuroJap...

  8. Dignics 05 vs Tenergy 05 Hard

    T05 Hard has a totally different feeling to D05. If you like hard Chinese rubbers, you'll like T05 Hard. It's very fast also.

  9. Dignics 05 vs Tenergy 05 Hard

    I think Tenergy 05 Hard is the best butterfly rubber for counterattack. I think Andro Rasanter C53 is even better than T05 Hard though.

  10. Who's your favorite tt retailer?

    I usually go to TableTennis11. Their discount on bulk orders is unbeatable. However, I also like to use some specialty equipment which is hard to find on TT11. For instance, I like to use the blue sponge version of Skyline 2 and some other niche Chinese rubbers. For these, PROTT is a great...

  11. Xuperman Powerplay-x: A Rubber by Xu Xin

    How much is it per hour?

  12. Can you "quick-clean" your hybrid rubber with your breath and palms?

    I personally prefer the sticky version of the protective film

  13. Xuperman Powerplay-x: A Rubber by Xu Xin

    Interesting take. I play at a1500 level which I guess is intermediate. I often find that I lose points due to lack of speed, but not due to lack of spin. As far as I can tell, Skyline 2 is the spinniest rubber out there, and I've tried Hurricane and Dignics. Skyline 2 especially excels at...

  14. Xuperman Powerplay-x: A Rubber by Xu Xin

    Sounds like you don't know how to play with Skyline. It's a great rubber, you just need to have the correct technique and strength.

  15. Help!!! I'm being bullied!!!

    Just do what Dmitrij Ovtcharov does and cover your short forehand with the backhand 😎

  16. how comfortable are you with hard (53+) rubber on your backhand?

    Interesting that you don't like H3 as a backhand-dominant player. You know you can boost it, right? I guess I also use a very fast blade, so that might make the Chinese rubbers more playable for me. I am also backhand dominant when I play shakehand grip, and my shakehand setup is basically the...

  17. Xuperman Powerplay-x: A Rubber by Xu Xin

    Skyline 3 is still fairly similar to Skyline 2, just a bit faster and a bit less spinny. Skyline 3 feels a bit more slippery as well. For me, using Skyline 3 it was harder to make those big swinging sidespin loops far from the table that Xu Xin is famous for; Xuperman is perfect for those kinds...

  18. Can you "quick-clean" your hybrid rubber with your breath and palms?

    Yes, I do this myself all the time. I play with Chinese rubber and it gathers a lot of dust because it's sticky.

  19. Can you "quick-clean" your hybrid rubber with your breath and palms?

    Seems like this probably works best for tacky Chinese rubbers. I see Chinese pros doing this a lot.

  20. Xuperman Powerplay-x: A Rubber by Xu Xin

    I've tried Skyline 3 a little bit, but unboosted. I think there is still a lot of difference between Skyline 3 and Xuperman.
