Another thing most people do wrong when cleaning is just spraying the cleaner, which is usually a surfactant on the rubber, rub it around with a sponge and call it a day. If you have no running water rinsing the emulsified dirt in the sponge away, all you will be doing is spreading the oily mess...

You can try boosting your Skyline and/or switch the Mantra Pro to your FH side and see how that goes for you.

What you are uncomfortable with is how unsuitable softer/medium hard rubbers are with the plastic ball when attacking. There's a reason there is a trend towards hard rubbers nowadays. If you still have your So Ten, try boosted H3 on the FH and the D09C on the backhand and see if that works out...

Let me guess, these are the under-rated Bay Area kids with their kettled ratings. :>

Try XIOM C55, not slow at all. Another option that is linear and controllable but faster than most hard Chinese rubbers and does not require boosting is the Loki Arthur China.

If you loved playing with the Viscaria, save up and buy a Viscaria. If you get something else, chances are you will be disappointed it will not be the same thing especially in cheaper blades. Better yet, offer money for the Viscaria you loved as there is still a risk you will get a Viscaria that...

Try harder rubbers if you haven't done so already especially for the forehand. You can go for an inexpensive Chinese hybrid like Loki Arthur China or something faster like the XIOM C55. Try using the T05 on your backhand and see how it works out. You can also go with a harder more controllable...

The Paramid I got to try has a bit more vibration than most ALC blades I've tried. I haven't tried any other blades exactly like it but I'm sure they are out there. The main thing is the head size, the carbon speed and adequate flexibility I think, not the exact composition.

There is no best table table tennis rubber money can buy. That question doesn't really make sense. You could ask the same question about cars and you would get many different answers. Some might say the F1 racing car that winning the championship right now, others may say the most luxurious...

I've owned like 40 blades and tried a bunch more from club members and a bunch of different rubbers. I did find the one I feel like I can play like a pro with(Stiga Inspira Hybrid Carbon) and discovered perhaps I like large head(158-159mm) fast carbon blades with standard thickness/flexibility...

This is the reason why I keep some of the boxes I get from online purchases like amazon and others. I reuse them to ship stuff out after I remove all the old labels.

I think you misspelled ZJK with FZD. So far there has not been any talent matching those of Ma Long and Zhang Jike or even Xu Xin. The issue is also compounded by the switch to the plastic ball where spin is less of a weapon over brute force and players with less sensitivity and creativity can...

If you buy it from reliable stores within aliexpress, sure. I get my Loki rubbers from the HWSPORT store.

Depending on how long ago you stopped playing, the game has changed with the introduction of the 40+ plastic ball. A rubber similar to what you were using before will probably not be suitable anymore and you may want to explore the current style of rubbers. If you want control go with harder...

Most ALC blades will damp vibration to some degree due to the nature and purpose of having an arylate layer. If you want some vibration but not too excessive, try the Sanwei Paramid. If you want all the vibration you can get, I have old school Butterfly Jonyer H I might be persuaded to part...

One layer on each surface. If you are using a good glue that's all you need. I don't want to waste time waiting for multiple layers of glue to dry and I'd rather choose a different rubber than to try to tune with multiple layers of glue since there are so many choices in rubbers anyways.

While I don't speak for Keith I can confidently say you will never reach 2500 with your setup. Tenergy 05 is so 2010s and is too soft for forehand nowadays and how can you even loop with a blade 9mm thick? :)

My current racket, the Stiga Inspira Hybrid Carbon with the large head size together with C55 and the Mantra Pro H weighs 191 grams so the rubber is not that heavy I think. I don't have the spec for my main racket but the backup, my previous main is 88gm and 158.5mm head size and I asked tt11...

Do it like the pros - if the ball is too low, control push it back the way it came in and see what comes back. Repeat until the ball is high enough for a flick backhand or forehand. If you decide not to play the push push game, push it long step back get ready to loop or counter or block. I you...
