Harimoto turned it around in good style there. Much better final game.

I always look forward to WCT matches. Great forum fodder.

tt-mode have it at 45 euro, but have a decent discount scale. And if you wait long enough it might end up in their weekly offers. If you don't mind using a forum and sending PMs around, tibi over at myTT does excellent prices on ESN rubbers.

Joola Flash are seamless, similar to XSF or Kingnik. They bounce higher then seamed ABS balls like D40+ or NP40+ and don't feel as hard. They're very durable in general but break/shatter on sharp impacts like fast edge hits.

TT11 have stock now too. Not cheap.

The price is a concern. We've always been overcharged in the UK IMO, and the pound has tanked in recent years for obvious reasons. The stores are small, local places mostly run by individuals or families. They don't move enough units to reduce prices through volume. But O7 looks expensive...

Lovely!

Many thanks, sounds quite scary. Perhaps you could send some samples to Dan here at the forum and hopefully he could do a video review of the range? Tour sounds like it needs a high level player to evaluate it.

From early listings, Tour has a surprisingly hard sponge. I've only seen sponges that hard on ESN rubbers with tacky topsheets, like Xiom Tau for example. Will Tour be tacky?

Come on man, VE and VE-DF are different rubbers. They have different entries on the LARC. Put them side-by-side and you can see that they have different sponges and topsheets. You can't have it both ways. You can't say they aren't different but they have differences while keeping a straight...

I think it's generally accepted that companies can have one topsheet with several sponge hardnesses, and that in these cases there is sometimes only one LARC listing (like Tibhar 5Q). When they make a change to the topsheet though, they tend to rename it and go back through authorisation (like...

I think that's pretty good. I'll probably always remain a bit skeptical about it because there's an established pattern with rubber improvements/re-issues where you go via the LARC. If Xiom really did change the OVT topsheet to an obvious degree then I would have expected them to have to apply...

I haven't used lots of sheets of V Tour (I have supplied several to clubmates over the last few years though), but again I've always doubted that anything changed in terms of the rubber itself. Just branding on the packaging. If the topsheet changed in tech or production terms Xiom would have...

I'm not seeing any anger, just a request for some evidence. OV Pro has never used the DF logo, as far as I've seen. IMO OV Asia doesn't have two versions. Xiom may have changed the packaging to unify their marketing or make it more consistent with the manufacturing process, but there is only...

I feel your pain. I dislike switching between different plastic balls each week, but if I had to use celluloid as well then I'd lose my mind. Like Fabian, the first thing I had to do was make sure I stood closer to the table and remember to stay very low. I used to have a bad habit of...

Wowzers. Many thanks! Xiom, eh? Predictably unpredictable.

Does this mean that O7 Asia is only 45 degrees? Not what I expected at all.

Oh my. If you haven't seen Gionis v Dingshuo yet then go and watch the ttinfo highlights on YouTube. Absolutely blinding match.

I think you already did mate.

KR has both a softer sponge and topsheet in comparison, but it has a really peculiar property where it feels incredibly predictable as you increase the power of your shot. So even though it has more catapult and a softer overall feel than MX-S, it gives off a similar feeling of solidity and...
