Stiga allround classic and yasaka sweden extra. Pretty similar, any is good.

Dude, if you do anything intentional that changes the characteristics of the rubber it's banned and that's it. Don't look too much into it, and I said sponge or topsheet because both can be altered. And yes, racket covering is the rubber.

Everyone does it because Haifu makes special booster for the national team and I'm guessing that it's provided to them. Everyone from Ma Lin, Wang Hao, Ma Long, Wang Liqin, Fan Zhendong, Lin Gaoyuan, Xu Xin and so many more are using booster. You can tell by the texture of their rubber looking...

It works completely different than a normal rubber, so get a yinhe neptune at ox and start practicing or you won't be able to do much. driving is either light chopping or lifting and blocking requires soft hand and pretty open bat angle. Best of luck!

Lol, why would you offend me?

Short answer, don't. Long answer, don't.

Is there anything specifically you're looking to change from your current blade? Is it too stiff/flexible, hard/soft, fast/slow, heavy/light, headheavy/handleheavy? Generally a blade that many love is the Butterfly Petr Korbel, the Butterfly Maze Performance is pretty much a buffed version of...

STOP SHOUTING!!!!! It depends on your budget and needs, if you liked the blade just buy an identical. We can't properly suggest something without knowing what you want from a blade. Generally the ma lin carbon is decent, if you want more speed you can look into viscaria type composition or if...

Yes, any chemical treatment of the sponge or topsheet is prohibited.

Oh hell no, it hasn't been allowed since 2007.

Whatever, every top player uses them. ESPECIALLY the Chinese.

I don't like him, he's a brat.

Don't worry about it, just treat it like normal all wood blade, use the sandpaper you have

Yeah, that's the feeling I got, Rosewood felt very easy on topspin, very nice feeling and walnut was a bit dryer.

I have used Stiga Intensity NCT for 2 years now, I like it, it's light but quite hard, not as much as a yeo, but still hard. I bought it because I had played with my coach's Rose 5 and I loved how delicate it felt, I was told it was similar to the Rose and I just went for it, it was a lot...

He was, check the first comment. Tell me in what universe Butterfly would think: Yes, it's a good idea, let's make a cpen defensive blade!

I don't know, it just seems weird

I was on Butterfly's page on insta and there was a guy going on and on for how they should release the diode pro for pen because, apparently, many players use long pips defence with rpb. I've never seen that or heard about it, is it legit or just another dude that forgot to take his morning meds?

not bad, but very low throw, fast and hard to use, hurricane was far spinnier and easier to use

I think it has to do with the fact that some of the European greats have used these blades. Timo is a living legend and has shaped European table tennis like no other player before him. His influence is much greater even than Waldner, so it makes sense that his equipment would be so popular, he...
