  1. Aliexpress has big annual sale in 1 week. Are you getting something?

    You know, I am ready to agree with you about the actions of the governments of some countries, since this topic is very close and acute to me in my country, but not in this case. The more competition, the more different products and the lower their price, which is just fine for us buyers...
  2. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    Guys, fast glue was banned not because of changes in the playing properties of rubber, but because of the influence of volatile and very toxic compounds on the health of athletes, including children who train. If I now smear the sponge of my rubber with baby! vaseline-based oil, which is...
  3. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    On the contrary, they do not stop it, because they are guided by common sense.
  4. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    I am an amateur and I like their equipment, if you see their boss, say hello from one amateur from distant Ukraine and shake his hand warmly from me.
  5. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    It’s just that at the time when it was necessary to choose a supplier for the Chinese team, there were no alternatives other than DHS, since Yinhe was a younger company and at that time did not have such products. Yinhe now has great rubbers like the Jupiter and Big Dipper that are as good as...
  6. 1980s Stiga Allround blade - worth reusing ?

    I have corrected the comment. In fact, for the price, this is a great forehand rubber for beginners.
  7. 1980s Stiga Allround blade - worth reusing ?

    Perhaps you have different levels of play with the author. After Mark 5 it will be difficult to switch to sticky Mercury 2 from both sides, especially from the backhand, I think it's better to put non-sticky European or Japanese rubbers in a thickness of 2 mm for backhand, and forehand, in...
  8. 1980s Stiga Allround blade - worth reusing ?

    To resume the game, this blade is fine, but there is one drawback with it - this is its size, it is smaller than modern standard blades. This is due to the transition from a ball with a diameter of 38 mm to a ball with a diameter of 40 mm. To resume games after a long break, this will not be a...
  9. WTT Singapore Smash 2023

    I was very pleasantly surprised by Truls Moregard with his game with Fan. In fact, and oddly enough, he is the only European player who was able to oppose Fan at least something. He and his coaches drew many conclusions from previous meetings and corrected the game for the better. In French, I...
  10. Wait for tackiness to wear off?

    Replace the pad and don't worry. If it does not fit, it is better to change it.
  11. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    In Yinhe and China, the situation is different, not directly related to the quality of the inventory. The manufacturer for the national team is approved by the communists, whose ideology does not provide for competition. If they had approved Yinhe at one time, then everyone would have played...
  12. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    Tony, DHS rubbers play last much longer than Butterfly, and since Butterfly raises prices, no one raises them on the market.I'd love to lower prices and buy their inventory, but they don't.
  13. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    I agree, but it would be even better if another manufacturer like Yinhe did it. They have cool topsheets (Big Dipper and Jupiter), the price is cheaper and for us tennis players, the more manufacturers with high-quality and inexpensive goods, the better!
  14. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    Everything seems to be so, but not quite so. At the time of the ban on fast glue, Butterfly and other rubber manufacturers were in the same conditions and no one asked anyone for anything. Then there was a ban and lo and behold! Butterfly has a ready-made new pre-stretched sponge! Very strange...
  15. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    As far as I know, rubber for the Xiom company is produced by the ESN plant. Xiom blades are produced at a factory in South Korea, by the way, very high quality and much cheaper Butterfly
  16. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    Tony, at first you write that you support healthy competition, but then you pour water on the butterfly mill, humiliating the ESN and healthy market competition. The fact that the Butterfly will be forced to reduce the prices of its products is primarily the merit of competitors, and all of us...
  17. Chinese all boosting, yet never caught red handed/ Why?

    Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that Butterfly started producing Dignics with a semi-tacky topsheet only after ESN finally caught up with Tenergy in product quality, but not before, when the Chinese dominated with sticky rubber all these years. Why is that? Maybe because the profit was...

    I bought a Stuor Viscaria blade for a friend, I really liked it
  19. WTT Singapore Smash 2023

    At this level, every little thing has an impact, because the higher the level of the game, the more important all these factors are.

    You just said such sedition, I expect an invasion of angry butterfly lovers:D
