  1. What's the worst blade you've ever used?

    As far as I know, these blades are noticeably different from each other in different generations. The flexibility of the blade is greatly affected by the absence of longitudinal carbon fiber threads in the first versions, which apparently was what was playing Der_Echte...
  2. Moon 12 Blue on sale!

    Moon 12 is also not entirely suitable for beginners, since it is relatively fast and makes it more difficult for a novice player to control his game. Also, Moon 12 has non-linear properties. On the block it's slow and controlled, but when accelerating it's much quicker than you'd expect from...
  3. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    When playing Loki N-80, I also have the feeling that I am playing with DHS rubber.

    I would also like @longle to play R9 for a week before bubbles appear or disappear :)
  5. My Personal Guide to Rubbers on Aliexpress

    I had experience using the Double Fish blade. It was a blade - QI (HB) Carbon. The manufacturer wrote that this is Of++, in fact it is Of-. Very soft and light blade. And what looks and is written as carbon is actually not carbon at all, but In my opinion vulcanite, which does not provide the...

  7. Need help choosing a backhand rubber

    Personally, Vega Asia, after several years of playing Vega Pro, did not suit me at all as a backhand player. Vega Asia with the same sponge and topsheet quality with Vega Pro has less acne per square centimeter. Due to this, it feels much softer, has a lower throw angle and has a completely...
  8. Best alternative to Stiga DNA Platinum M (47'5)

    I also noticed that on a blade with an external koto veneer with external carbon fiber like viscaria, the Fastarkc G1 plays better on the forehand, on the backhand it was hard for me, I wanted to get a softer rubber. At the same time, on a blade with soft outer sipo wood and inner carbon...
  9. Help choosing backhand rubber

    Gold Ark 8 is a very fast and tenacious ESN rubber, but not durable. Gold Ark 5 is 1,5-2 times inferior in everything. This is good for blocking, but not for spinning - no grip.
  10. Favorite to win 2024 Olympics?

    I would really like for at least someone not from the Chinese team to win the Olympics and I will definitely root for it, but in my opinion it will all end in a painfully banal way - Fan Zhendong will receive gold.
  11. A little bit greasy topsheet - can i clean it?

    Regular soap may help in your case. Wash the rubber with warm water and soap. After this, rinse the rubber very thoroughly with plain water to remove absolutely all the soap from the surface and microcracks. If this is not done, the remaining soap will have a bad effect on the rubber. After...
  12. Moon 12 Blue on sale!

    Yesterday I tried to play Moon 12 on a blade with a soft top layer of Sipo wood, an outer carbon mesh, the blade frequency is 1395 Hz, but the blade is light - 81 grams, so this rather high frequency does not reflect the speed in the game, this blade is far from fast. On the forehand, the Big...
  13. Loki N80 & Arthur Europe Diamond Rubbers

    Sorry, maybe I'm off topic, but I literally played Loki N80 last night. Without a booster, it was tough for me and there was little delay, I didn’t have time to process the ball. With a booster and on a board with soft wood and internal carbon, everything is much better. By the way, I have a...
  14. New order from Dandoy, delivered in record time !

    What about the durability of the Tibhar hybrid MK? And what about toughness? Is it not as soft as Rakza Z?
  15. New order from Dandoy, delivered in record time !

    I agree with Big Dipper, it doesn’t react much, but it still reacts, but I completely disagree with Mercury. Without boost and with boost these are completely different rubbers. In my opinion, Mercury reacts to a booster stronger than a hurricane.
  16. New order from Dandoy, delivered in record time !

    Without a booster or quick glue, for my taste, most Chinese-style rubbers do not play at all. Since Chinese rubbers are mostly without pretension, the booster just adds the necessary pretension. At the same time, the speed is still lower than that of tensor rubber and Tenergy/Dignics. Therefore...
  17. What table tennis rubbers & blade do you use?

    Hi, Dan! I play homemade blades with carbon fiber and sticky rubber in the Chinese style on the forehand - Hurricane 3, jupiter 2-3, Big dipper, Loki N 80 and medium speed tensors on the backhand - Rakza 7, Vega pro, Fastarc G1.
  18. New order from Dandoy, delivered in record time !

    Your mistake is that Chinese rubber, due to its lower speed than tensors, plays better on faster blades, preferably with carbon
  19. Moon 12 Blue on sale!

    Hi all! I also received my Moon 12. This is what it looks like. The weight of uncut rubber is 67 grams, the weight of rubber glued onto a blade with dimensions of 152x159 mm is 47 grams. I can’t say anything about the playing characteristics yet, since I haven’t played with this rubber yet.
  20. What is the MOST mid setup? Equipment you thought was just 'okay'

    There cannot be a definite answer to this question, since the level of inventory depends on the level of the player. The equipment that will be average for an advanced player will be beyond his capabilities for a beginner player. In my opinion, an excellent option among rubbers is the Nittaku...
