  1. Hello from China

    I think they will if you bring back too many rubbers. Even if they make it through customs on our side, there’s a chance they’ll get stopped by customs on your side. And yes. Most of the rubbers discussed here are also commonly used by locals—for example, the 729 Battle 2 / Loki products /...
  2. Hello from China

    Thanks for your greetings. 😁 You’re also welcome to visit China. This forum is great, and I’ve really enjoyed chatting with everyone.:D
  3. Hello from China

    Before you come, I’d suggest watching videos of other people traveling here. I’m sure there are plenty of such videos on YouTube. Look at their tips and impressions, and pick one or a few cities you want to visit. But I wouldn’t recommend choosing several cities that are too far apart, because...
  4. Hello from China

    Of course, I think anything is cheapest in its place of origin :D . As long as it’s for your own personal use, there shouldn’t be any problem bringing it through customs.
  5. Hello from China

    It depends on which province and city you want to go to. After all, China has 34 provincial-level regions, 333 cities, and more than 2,800 counties. Different provinces have different geography, climate, and dietary habits, which also makes ingredient prices different. In coastal cities such as...
  6. Hello from China

    It means the rubber has a firm, solid sponge that holds up under hard shots and won’t bottom out easily.
  7. Tibhar Hybrid K3 Jade

    Nah. No store is selling it yet. This news might just be a teaser.
  8. Hello from China

    I’m not an equipment expert, but I’m willing to help you search other Chinese sites/forums I use for players who have actually used the 301H, their rubber setups, and their subjective impressions, so that you can make the judgment that suits you best: The 301H is simply a god-tier blade. Aside...
  9. FH issue: i dun wanna smash no moar, i wanna spin moar. help!

    You don’t need to use slow equipment. You just need to learn to wait, let the ball fly into your hitting zone by itself, and not reach out for it. What you need to do is: turn with the ball > let the ball enter your zone > turn back and caress the ball with your racket. If the incoming ball...
  10. Defensive setup advice

    Haha, the way you reply is a lot like my friends on another forum. I almost thought I was in the wrong place.
  11. Hello from China

    Yes, Bilibili is a pretty good video site. Around 2013, it was just a community for anime fans. But now it has become one of the biggest gathering places for all kinds of video creators in China. Many English-speaking video creators also upload their videos here. The ones I can name off the top...
  12. Best possible setup for the least amount of money

    In my table tennis player community, there are several agreed-upon beginner-friendly setups for your reference: Blade: Loki Kirin K3 (outer GNF carbon) FH: Loki Rxton 1 BH: Loki Rxton 1 Total price: 90 RMB Blade: Yinhe Y4 (inner carbon) FH: Loki Rxton 3 BH: Loki Rxton 1 or Loki Kirin K1...
  13. What Are Hybrid Table Tennis Rubbers and Why Are They So Popular Nowadays?

    Between inner and outer carbon blades, there really is a quiet shift happening. We’ve also noticed that more and more inner carbon blades are becoming increasingly similar to outer blades in terms of feel and speed. Some outer blades are doing the same—getting softer and feeling more and more...
  14. What Are Hybrid Table Tennis Rubbers and Why Are They So Popular Nowadays?

    I completely agree with you: Equipment choices and tactical style influence each other. At my level, my footwork isn’t really good enough to support fast movement away from the table. Of course, I wish I could be like, say, Hugo, but that’s very hard to do. In fact, thanks to long-term...
  15. Loki RXTON 9 new sponge.

    Just an irresponsible guess: Could the reason it doesn’t absorb oil be that the sponge was already pre-boosted too much at the factory?
  16. What Are Hybrid Table Tennis Rubbers and Why Are They So Popular Nowadays?

    Yes, my work is also related to IT and AI, so I completely understand your point of view. About my level, you’re giving me too much credit. I still have a lot to learn. One point where I might differ from you is that in China, many people don’t think inner-carbon blades are something beginners...
  17. Loki RXTON 9 new sponge.

    It might be unit-to-unit variation. The general feedback from regular players is consistent: The performance is good, it’s just heavy. And it doesn’t absorb oil, so they’re worried they won’t be able to handle it.
  18. Loki RXTON 9 new sponge.

    Easy to control, and the sponge provides plenty of explosive power. But it’s too heavy. 56g on a VIS with two layers of water-based glue, no booster. If you want a better experience, you still need to use boosters for it—even though it’s labeled “Boosting-Free”, just like H3N. Since it...
  19. Hello from China

    Oh, I’m sorry if I offended you...
  20. Loki RXTON 9 new sponge.

    Yes, this new product is intended to compete with the Hurricane 3 Provincial Orange-Sponge. I saw that some video bloggers have reviewed it in August.
