  1. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    Made by Daiki, this is the companies name. Similar company as ESN, they subcontract for table tennis brands.
  2. New Stiga Mantra Pro

    Yeah, same manufacturer so I wager they are very similar. Nexy Etika rubbers also similar.
  3. My experience with Chinese rubbers

    Today my Palio The Way arrived and I couldn't contain myself from trying it 😏 I'm pretty sure it is manufactured by Double Fish, I am good at determining Chinese factories by smell😅 Well initial impression is that the first 1 hour of the training with it was super weird, like I couldn't feel my...
  4. Moon 12 Blue on sale!

    ITTF tournament? The video quality would justify 😏
  5. Stiga Inspira Hybrid Carbon

    As far as I know the whole blade is made in Korea. The Sweden part on the lens is for Stiga, not where it is made. My Inspira Plus has the same logo and it is made in China. My surprise was more that they were claiming on their higher-end blades they are handmade, and made in Sweden. I have no...
  6. Moon 12 Blue on sale!

    M- maybe a bit softer than G-1, so something in between 45-47deg I wager. But it's rubbery so doesn't particularly bottom out like ESN rubbers, and it's springy too at least the M- with the new logo, I will keep pointing this out. I would compare it to those bouncy balls rather than what ESN or...
  7. Moon 12 Blue on sale!

    Today I tried the M+ and I like it better than the H- for sure but M- still feels better to me and I think I know why. My M- has the new Yinhe logo while the H- and M+ has the old Yinhe logo. The old logo versions have a much more matte topsheet, the new logo one is more glossy and more grippy...
  8. Sanwei target national new version

    I'm confused not gonna lie. That topsheet that has the bubble looks like it's a year old not 1 session old. Or it bubbled up after one session but you used it for long? There's new STN in square shape and in weird shape too? I wonder if it's noted anywhere on a label or barcode etc...
  9. Sanwei target national new version

    @Attitude was talking about the old (1st gen) STN and I have the new (2nd gen) STN. The 2nd gen is just like a delish-boosted H3 BS according to me, while the old one is weird. The new one I think is better than LAC so that's why I'm saying that it should be right up your alley. 😏
  10. Rubber alternatives for Return Board?

    I would just buy the 2pcs bundle of this 4 times...
  11. Sanwei target national new version

    The old one had such a straight trajectory? o_O The new feels fine to me if I want I can curve the ball very well, but if I want a straight shot it can do it too. No issues for me to pick up low balls. Summer break sounds like a good time to try. Give it a spin if you have the chance, I rec.
  12. Sanwei target national new version

    I would even argue that STN is more dynamic than H3N BS. Maybe if you boost up the H3 BS then it's more dynamic, certainly I have overboosted Chinese rubbers so much they were faster than D64 lol but they weren't good to play with. The topsheet seems nice and I believe the sponge is rather...
  13. Sweden Classic + Rakza Z

    I had Rakza Z EH in both red and black and the black sheet was bloody hard. On a super viscaria type blade they felt much better than on W968 and W968 is still stiffer than a Yasaka Sweden Extra so I am unsure if the combination would work. For me it would feel slow. Also Rakza Z (especially the...
  14. Moon 12 Blue on sale!

    Jupiter 3 is very different. I dunno about Apollo 5. I have fingermarks from serve hold but seems to be holding up well. I even hit the table edge once and it didn't tear, so it's not fragile. If it lasts 2.5 months I will be happy. Any kind of block it can do but it's good for chiquita and I...
  15. Sweden Classic + Rakza Z

    Your rubber is hard your blade is soft, so once force is exerted to your rubber it will transfer to your blade too. Harder rubber can yield less and your blade will have to yield more. If your blade yields or flexes it will change your hit angle by some degrees. That needs to be compensated for...
  16. Tensorlike rubbers on innercarbon blades

    Awwwww, so glad to see you on the T-Rex arm side :3 I always felt minimally insecure with your NH3PTB setup while I can't make it work on my BH side wth that stone. On FH it's lovely but just not managing the heft on BH. I also wonder how @Attitude musters up 210g with RXton 9 and H3 37 deg...
  17. Sweden Classic + Rakza Z

    You can but you need to use quite a bit of force. But even without your own force sticky rubbers react less. I don't know if it's because of the stickiness or the topsheet lazyness or sponge hardness. I think my concern with the Yasaka Sweeden Extra with harder rubbers would be that how much...
  18. Sanwei target national new version

    Recently I got a new STN from @mocker88 along with a Gear Hyper Blue and I have to say the STN is really good. Without any boosting or treatment just sticking it on my Cybershape it feels like a deliciously boosted H3 blue. The new STN is very pleasing rubber, I think Sanwei nailed it. I would...
  19. Tensorlike rubbers on innercarbon blades

    I don't know how anyone can deal with 210g rackets, that is just too bloody heavy. @latej would probably call me a wimp and I would accept that with some grace but I see most top 30 players in the world hover around 185-195g and I am strong as heck but even I feel 195g is a bit too much head...
  20. Moon 12 Blue on sale!

    More Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. So I have been playing more with the Moon 12 blue on BH mainly the M- and it's just fun. I don't know about you guys but having fun is so underrated. I just wanna play with the Moon 12, I really do and wanna explore it more. I have a mean ass FH and I bet even the...
