I was looking at it too. Someone wrote it smells bad, so I assume it's similar to the other Chinese glues that are similar to Revolution. So not that interesting to me actually. Btw those Lidu or Huieson or whatever off brand glues are still very good just that I know them well already.

My first sheet of black Mantra Pro XH had similar marks. My gf bring it from China for around 160RMB... that's like 22USD so for that I thought maybe China got some 2nd grade rubbers for cheap. It played exactly the same as my 2nd sheet from TT-Japan which had no marks. But I agree it shouldn't...

The quality on these blades is great. Even better than BTY. Jointless wood, handsome design, good handle. It is only rivaled by the South Korean blade maker and possibly Yinhe. But I would take the Yuanjian blades over them.

You're just a hater 😤 Igor is a gem (in the rough) Be happy.

Probalby better for you than ML5. The Loki blade looks very well made, on par if not nicer than ML5X. It looks like a blade Xiom or Butterfly would ask 150USD for.

Actually it was made by Butterfly. Get Aibiss the tacky Antispin.

I agree with Lawsy, get 39 down in the middle and if you think you need a bit harder later or softer you will know. If unsure just go with mid hardness always for forehand and for backhand go for 45deg-ish or 34-35 in 729 or DHS scales. One other thing about B3, so I sometimes play with my...

Actually I just dug out my Rakza Z EH and glued it on an outer koto ZLC blade, pretty much like a Zhang Jike ZLC and I have to say it's a fair bit slower than B3 on the Cybershape. I'm pretty sure the Cybershape is slower and the B3 is faster and the B3 topsheet is much stronger.

Some people like the Loki Rxton 9, Battle 2 national BS. I personally liked the Dingtian Young Shine BS, Double Fish Volant Phoenix and I think the Double Fish Qiji blue sponge boosted is good. So many options, the cheap ones now are the Double Fishes and B3. B3 only in one version at the moment.

Yes, it's the thickest glue I know. It's also heavy because of it. I like the Sueke No 2 better since it dries slower, and a bit lighter and softer. But DHS no15 is still top glue.

It's drying quickly. DHS No 15 dries so fast... You should spread it quickly.

Maybe :), I liked the Rakza Z EH red I had but I think B3 is more durable and lighter by a lot soooo... These are just really objective properties. Especially on a Cybershape maybe 57-8g ughhhhh. I think I needed like 20 hours to break in the 40deg. Might depend on a lot of factors. For me it...

Is this an Igor post? 🤭

I wonder what happened that it's so cheap. It's going now for like 18eur, shipped taxed... It used to be like double that... Overstocked after covid?

Actually tried all all of them. Well Rakza Z Extra Hard only. The RZEH I had a softer red sheet and a very very hard black sheet. I liked the red a lot and hated the black a lot. The black was so hard it felt like playing with PVC. The red one I like since it was pretty slow and spinny. Works...

I tried the R9 briefly and I am not sure if I got a bad sheet or it's just so bad but for me the R9 was not great at all. I would describe it as super dead but honestly a recent H3N provincial BS was super dead for me. Before I had H3 national BS and that was fast and lively so I am not sure...

I think B3 handles humidity just fine. I don't have an issue with it. I think it's pretty comparable with how H3 national handles it. I'm saying the national since that has a similar topsheet surface as B3. Similar kind of matte, commercial H3 for me was much more glossy.

I have the one with 37deg sponge. To me the topsheet feels very supple and the grip seems good. Less bouncy than a V15 but not that much. Not sure about how spinny it will be or how easy to use but so far to me it looks pretty high quality.

Still looks really good. I think there is something in what you say that even the rubber drinks up some oils and changes a bit. I just use my good old Revo cleaner and rejuvenator and it keeps the B3 topsheet in originalish condition. After 2 months mine is like this. Gonna test Gold Arc 9 on...

What is really interesting is that since the weather is getting warmer the rubber got a bit softer. That is normal for any rubber of course but now it kind of started to make a clicking sound like rubbers that imitate speed glue effect. Sure it is not like Tenergy or 47deg big pored ESN rubbers...
