  1. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    The H is the closest. Both Z2 and Mantra Pro H are rated at 50 degrees.
  2. Friendship 729 battle 3

    I broke already two B3. Bubbling up 😢 I'm not sure if I'm too strong or it's too hot. Now back on DHS H3BS. It took me soem time to adjust back to it but it wasn't like trying completely foreign. If H3 BS lasts longer then it's better for me. I also think since now I use outer carbon blade...
  3. What does “NEO” mean in DHS rubbers?

    What do we got here? A comdedian. Private joker, I admire your honesty.
  4. What does “NEO” mean in DHS rubbers?

    My biggest gripe is that I bought H3N BS 40 national from prott around 2020 early covid time that I just glued on my blade and it was fast as hell. (after coming off of H3N OS39 orange) Was that rubber unreasonably fast? No, but I hit meter long drives for a few minutes, hours until my muscle...
  5. DHS fans unite!

    Heeey, I'm so happy with my 40deg H3 BS on the Stiga Wang Manyu... It's light, it's fast, it's stable as heck, it's spinny... Awwwwwww it's really lovely. 3 layers of thin as heck regular Seamoon did the job so well but my blade is so well working with it too. I knew it from the first time...
  6. How many layers of booster on the Hurricane 3 BS Provincial?

    Just now I applied 3 very very thin layers of Seamoon on my prov 40deg BS and it feels perfect. Thin layers are nice since they get sucked in fast so they don't evaporate in the air and they get sucked in consistently so I don't have these weird patches on the sponge where more booster was...
  7. What does “NEO” mean in DHS rubbers?

    Actually, I'm not sure anymore since in the past H3 Neos smelled very yucky (and were faster) but recently not so much. So DHS might have just pulled a productivity maneuver on us and skipped the boost part (or boosts less), but still ads the glue layer. Some other Chinese companies do this too...
  8. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    The BOA laced Arthur versions look fine. Why the hell did they even release the black and white Rxton is a wonder to me.
  9. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    Could be from the same factory as BTY... I doubt tho. I've seen Tibhar branded shoes with the same sole as the Loki one, they changed the butterfly wing patterns to these circles but they're not fooling us. If it's from the same factory then probably they will hold up well enough. Granted Tibhar...
  10. DHS fans unite!

    I killed my 2nd Battle 3 just today. Ok, this one was old, 1 year old but I didn't use it that much but I guess it didn't like being boosted too many times even if it happened with big intervals between. So yeah bubble again. One of my eyes is crying the other is not. On Saturday I'm going to...
  11. TTD, Revspin, review sites are all missing key metric

    Revspin, so cute. Speed ratings: Tenergy 05: 9.3 H3 Neo: 8.4 DHS C8: 7.4 I kind of rest my case. If Tenergy is 9 on a scale of 10 then H3 Neo is at best a 6 and C8 maybe a 3. But some comments there are legit.
  12. From 729 Battle max pro to Battle 3

    The B3 topsheet is night and day better than B2, and Battle Max Pro uses B2 topsheet. B3 sponge is also better but that is less obvious. Not much price difference between these rubbers so might as well try B3. If you don't boost B3 be aware that the first layer of glue will not stick to the...
  13. Broken WCQ blade

    Maybe 😂
  14. Broken WCQ blade

    I've seen this too many times that people just put their racket on the bag, on bench etc and someone trips and racket is broken. So Wang Chuqin's kind of at fault too though after winning an Olympic gold maybe even the most disciplined mind would not care about his racket braking. But as you can...
  15. Joola Zhou Qihao 90 vs Butterfly Viscaria Super ALC?

    ZQ90 holds the ball more, has a fatter handle and is typically lighter than Super Viscaria. Super Viscaria feels harder and stiffer. The quality of both blades is super high. I assume Super Viscaria will have a higher re-sale value but the ZQ90 can be bought for cheaper. I like the ZQ90...
  16. Friendship 729 battle 3

    Hhhh, fair enough. Maybe next time I can use AI to add more anime girl vibe to it. Yeah, he blocks for me a lot so he's very conditioned for it. I need to use full power to hit past him otherwise I'm screwed. Still need to get used to outer carbon a bit especially on BH side.
  17. Friendship 729 battle 3

    So I glued my circa 1 year old sheet ot the Stiga Inspira Plus after applying a layer of regular Seamoon on it. The rubber has some oxidation and glue marks on it but it's still very grippy and elastic so I don't give 2 craps. For summer break it's fine. I glued it on the Stiga Wang Manyu blade...
  18. Thin Chinese inverted rubbers for chopping?

    Several defenders use the good old 729 Super FX for chopping since it's (dirt) cheap and it's available in many sponge thickness ranging from 1.0mm to 2.2mm which is not the case with other Chinese tacky rubbers in general. And as with many Chinese rubbers the rule of thumb is 1 sheet of rubber...
